Just out of interest, which is your favourite faction?

My top 3 in order from best to worst:
1. Enclave
2. The Brotherhood of Steel
3. The NCR

At first my favourite faction was undoubtedly the brotherhood of steel (thanks to fallout 3) but playing new vegas' famous 'For Auld Lang Syne' questline really flipped things around. I find the enclave mysterious and interesting, along with their superior knowledge of technology they are in my eyes a superior force.

So what do you think? Take part in the poll and comment your top five or so in ranking order!

Tunnel Snakes (rule).

Just kidding.

My favorite is probably BoS with Caesar's Legion closely behind.

Mr. House is my first logical choice.

Yes man being my illogical second choice.

(I'm well aware that those two aren't "factions" but I don't care for most of the others.)

Legion is the only one up there that I'd pick if I had to.

There is only faction I like, the Followers. The rest are opportunistic and tunnel visioned.

The New California Republic. It was nice to watch them grow from a town (in Fallout) to the largest and most powerful faction in the known Wasteland.

The Followers, no doubt. They're flawed (who isn't?) but pound for pound they've probably done more good for the post-nuclear world than anyone else. I wish I could hand the Dam over to them in the ending.

I also really like the Khans. They're pretty nasty customers, but they're also loyal and brave (per All Roads: "Khans carry their own") and they've got a long, sad story of snapping at the NCR and suffering heavily when the Republic inevitably bites back. I think they're about karmically even all told, so I just about always give them their "clean slate" ending.

Just to clear things up, i am not asking which faction is the most morally sound, goodness should not affect your opinion unless that is the reason in which you actually prefer that faction. For example, your favorite faction could be Caesars legion simply because they are cruel and merciless, or you like the fiends because you can relate...

thanks for posting people!
I really wish this thread would get more attention however.

It is sad that there is no reminder in FoNV, that the founders of the NCR and the founders of the khans all came from the same vault. (so has the Vipers & Jackalls)

It definitally add a layer in their eternal conflict.

My favorite faction of the franchise remains the unity, but they are so scatered in FoNV that i wouldn't call them a faction any more.

But it was great to see how their renmants evolved. Same for Khans/BOS/Enclave renmants.

About new factions, i grew fond of the kings.

I was never interested in the real star whom they don't know the name, but i think the value they intend to follow are touching.

Beside that, Freeside is my favorite location post-Fo2. It really give the feeling of a post-war big city outskirt, with all the people attracted by the light of the strip, but put aside by its leaders, and left to handle themselves.

On the other hand, i was a bit disapointed by the Boomers. They are not an awfull context, but i think they give them a too important role for a not so interesting faction.

I don't think it was needed. By the time of New Vegas it had been over 200 years. The Khans having been all but destroyed twice and having to rebuild, I doubt any of them know their full history because I doubt any of them would actually be a descendant of someone from Vault 15, the orginal Khans.

It was just nice to see the Vipers and the Jackals. But I believe they would be in the same boat as the Khans.

As for the NCR. I doubt if they knew that those other groups also came from Vault 15.. that they would be willing to admit it.

Not saying that most characters should be aware of this.

I mainly expected a lost holodisc or a chat with the follower fond of Khans history.

The whole point would have been to make the courrier aware of this.

Anyway, it doesn't count on any specific episode, but on the general history between those groups.

Before Fo1, both groups leave V15/

In Fo1, Khans raid shady sands (founders of NCR)

In Fo2, take back V15 but are kicked by NCR mercenary. (chosen one)

In FoNV, they left California, but ended up again in territories that NCR also claimed.

Interesting to see that their history is never really separated...

Since house isnt on the list, im gonna say ceaser legion because the faction is facinating and has some very well done characters in it.

I believe New Vegas confirms that the Vault Dweller also destroyed them. But yeah I was thinking that that Follower could have provided a source on the Khans coming from Vault 15. It would be the only logical way to do it. But in the end not really needed. But I guess it could have sparked new people to the series to ask questions about it.

Ezekiel: "They're a fascinating tribe with a long and unfortunately tragic history. Their orginal incarnation, much farther out west, was almost completely wiped out by one of those itinerant heroes so common in the post-War years. Then of course the "New Khans" suffered a similar fate, some say at the hands of the same hero, though of course the dates are all wrong for that."

This being said it looks like he was going to tell us they came from Vault 15 but was cut off by the Courier: "The NCR eventually took them down quite a bit, but the really fascinating thing about them is the origin of their culture as a whole. You see..."

Then again he could have just tried to explain the Mongels of old, cause he gives us the book about them after that.

House's faction is New Vegas. Put New Vegas on the list plz.

Mr. House. He is their lawful leader, all those who deny it are his foes. They shall bend the knee or be destroyed! <3

I personally like the Great Khans. They've been knocked down again and again, but still rise to carry on the fight. One has to wonder if either the NCR or the Legion would fare as well after being more or less destroyed multiple times. The Khans are close to a true warrior society, and tough to the core.

I also like Mr House because it's a lot of fun to take out his securitrons. I'm afraid I would have to kill House simply because fighting the securitrons is one of the most enjoyable battles in the game, and he provides some comic relief as a target (though he doesn't move around much... ).

I would like the NCR, I suppose, but they are like a cancer. The NCR just spreads, whether anyone wants it to or not, which rather explains why the Khans keep bumping heads with it. There's no place to go that either the Legion or the NCR doesn't claim a right to, including the Strip. Reminds me of the old RL historical claim by the US of "Manifest Destiny"... Just an excuse to subjugate, relocate, or exterminate people who already have what they want.

Mr. House has been added to the poll everybody!

The Khans have been attacking the NCR since there was even an NCR. They started the fight. They "keep bumping heads" with the NCR because they want to play raider and the NCR is really the only game in town to raid. But the NCR grew powerful and fought back and the Khans are paying the price for over two hundred years of raiding and murdering people.

The NCR is a Cancer and yet the drug dealing raiders known as the Great Khans are noble warriors?

Followers of the Apocalypse. They are doing good work, much better than most other folks around (Counting House among the others here).

Yep like that Edward Swallow who went off and created the Legion. Oh wait ...

Ok well there are those Followers who went and taught the Khans to make chems! But then they used that knowledge to make drugs which they supplied to the fiends who in turn murder a lot people in a drug induced chaos.

Or those Followers who... wait I am sure there's something they actually did to help people let me think...... I got nothing
