Why Caesars Legion has the Right idea by Josh gro-Graz
The reason why the majority of Fallout players dislike the Legion is because of the way they do things. We all know how they do things so there is no point in explaining it. Caesars Legion has taken over the entire Four State Commonwealth and brought stability, safety, and civilization to it, how many other factions in the Fallout universe can say the same? The reason the Legion does this immoral things is because it’s the fastest way to do it, the people who disagree with the Legions way of doing things fail to realize that they are doing the right thing. The Legion is far from evil, they are one of the few true good factions in Fallout, you probably think I am an idiot but look at the facts.
Arizona was a place dominated by raiders and viscous tribal’s, Raul said it himself, when the Legion appeared they took Arizona and transformed it into a stable region that was safe and civilized. Sure the NCR has brought safety and civilization to parts of California without these methods but they do it for a completely different reason, money and power. The NCR don’t care about there people they only care about making themselves more rich and more powerful.
The Legions views on technology is very true, what did technology bring the Fallout universe? A nuclear war that killed the majority of the population. Caesar is one of the smartest people in the Fallout universe, he has realized that in order to truly bring safety and civilization to the wasteland you can’t be nice and you have to set rules, and that is what he has done, and what has that created? One of the safest places in the Fallout Universe and one of the greatest armies in the Fallout universe. You may disagree with me but the facts are all there. The Legion is the only faction doing things the right way.
The Legion spreads peace and stability through brutal total war and slavery. Peace and stability is achieved in their territories at the cost of life and liberty. One can argue that the Legion is protecting tribals raiders, who probably instituted slavery themselves but to argue that the Legion is somehow spreading civilization into the Mojave and, ultimately, California is a little laughable. The NCR, while you may question their motives, spread ideals of representative government, and a general respect for life into their territories. THis is at the cost of any former tribal or settlement sovereignty and taxes. The NCR does not shun scientific progress and takes advantage of medical science while the Legion does not. Now, if the Legion was to expand into NCR teritories and into Vegas, how do you believe that this is "civilizing" those lands.
Yes, if the Legion is successful there is a good chance that things will be peaceful, but they would be significantly less civilized than they were before. Loss of civilization and a scientific stagnation.
I believe that Obsidian could have done a bit better in the Legion and made them much better than they are. As of now, without any CL DLC at the moment, the Legion is made a clear "last-choice" for many people.
