Ok, I am trying to do a legion playthrough AND get the Armor of the 87th legion. I have a plan to do this, but I am not sure 100% if it will work, so I thought I would run it past the forums and hope for some help

1. Do Lonesome Road BEFORE getting the platinum chip (thinking of starting at around level 20)
2. Nuke both NCR and Legion (if I have to nuke the legion, might as well hit the NCR too)
3. Go to dry wells and get the armor
4. Confront Benny
5. Recieve mark of caesar (should set legion to neutral)
6. turn in 40 NCR dogtags at cottonwood cove
7. go to the Fort and start the caesar quests

I am pretty sure this will allow me to get both the armor of the 87th tribe and be liked by the legion by the time i meet caesar, I can also battle inside the arena too

any thoughts?

Yeah it should work fine.

You're a genius
