So I started a character that I meant to do as a CL playthrough, but as I played on, I realized that this guy is more in line with House than Caesar. I'll be doing Lonesome Road again soon, and I realized that I don't know which faction rep actually counts as House. Is it Freeside or Strip? I'd love to get that badass old world flag on the Courier Duster, and I want it to be mine, not just wearing Ulysses's. :down:

Also, any of you ever do that, start with a clear objective for a faction loyalty on a playthrough and then realize the toon you made was more suited for a different ending?

I have changed quite often myself, I mean I really want all the endings but siding with legion or house is just so anti me I cant follow thru lol.

I dont know which faction is house, but if you dont want the ncr or legion duster I suppose you could just get vilified with both of em, that should ensure that house is higher rep wise.

It's The Strip. That's the rep you're looking for.

The entire point of roleplaying is to suspend what you want and do what your character wants. I don't steal, drink, use drugs, be mean to people, or shoot people in the face bc they have something I want, but my current character demands I do so.

I understand roleplaying. For me however I just cant get into the whole legion "no tech, no real medicine just herb mixtures, conquer everyone no matter what, women are baby making slave, and to top it off we crucify for giggles. Also House, well he is just to damn arrogant and condecending for a "person" that cant protect himself even a little bit haha.

However I do rp chars that kill others for no reason and others that dont. Some wont steal others will. Some will do quests to be helpful others get tired of fetching stuff and will proceed to roast said npc with a flamethrower. :flamethrower:

Sorry for being off topic.

It's all good. It's just that I can rp characters from all the factions by adjusting their values. My current Legion character, for example, has a unilateral hatred of the NCR and an appreciation of a state that values efficiency as it's priority. She wants to see a Legion victory because A: It means the NCR loses the worst and B: She thinks it's the best for the Mojave.

I am inclined to agree, though, that House is an arrogant bastard, but then again, so is The Courier. Who thinks they can just stroll into the Fort and kill everyone? Who thinks they can just penetrate the Lucky 38 and upset the balance of power in New Vegas?

On-Topic: If my characters have consistent changes of heart, then they do change which faction they support.

Roleplaying can be difficult if you find yourself distracted by other things that you want even if it doesn't fall in line with your character. I have successfully played through an Enclave Remnant named Wyatt, who sided with House; an explosives and unarmed Berserker who always wanted to be in CL, and gladly joined them when he had the chance; a Sniper who was right at home in the NCR; and finally a Cowboy who just wanted to find his place "Independently" in the west. I made sure that I noted things I had to skip on one character and thought of characters that could use that particular item on subsequent playthroughs.

Anyway, back on topic, as long as the positive Karma for the factions whose duster you desire is higher then any others, you will get that duster. You can also make use of faction armor to neutral certain karma if the karma for that faction is too high.
