Caesars Legion. I would be a Praetorian.

Well, as much as I appreciate you telling me what I would or wouldn't do in a hypothetical scenario, I'm pretty sure I'd join the Legion. True recruits are cannon fodder, but the smart ones make it to Centurion/Decanus after a few engagements.

That's not true, I've seen some people here who are die hard Legion supporters for more than 'Rule of Cool'.

Personally, I'd rather live in the lap of luxury than herding crapping cows around, but I'm a bit snobby. >_>

Between the New California Republic, Brotherhood of Steel, or the Boomers.

I know Josh or someone will oppose this but....

New Californian Republic

Caesars Legion is still the one I would most likely join but others include: Mr. House, the Great Khans, or the Fiends.

Mr. House because he would make New Vegas safe, and I would be swimming in caps.

The Great Khans because we have a common enemy, the NCR.

The Fiends because I can get high as a bird and kill all the NCR bastards I want.

EDIT: @Names, I disagree but I am not going to stop you from liking the NCR. You are your own person and you make your own decisions. If you want to side with people who only care about themselves and not the future then by all means do so. But I will stick with Caesars Legion and truly improve the wasteland.

Wait.....Caesar based his Legion on the Roman Empire????? HOW DARE YOU!!!! YOU ARE MARKED FOR DEATH!!


I'd pick House, he would make a decent "teacher", give me caps, a good talking buddy in the future, and he saved my life, ya know?

Have people really gotten used to me always answering Talon Company to these questions, i remember when i used to get into big debates over Talon Company with people.

Talon Company kicks ass, your sig says everything about them.

Hey, isn't your forum picture of Talon company?


Talon Company would be cool actually, but I don't know if the DC area is the best choice. Too many dangers, not enough people. And lot's of your friends die to some drug addicted home sick 19 year old.

@Josh

Well, the Legion would just inslave all of the Mojave then fall under the immense stress of running a Empire.

And if not the NCR,

Talon Company and House.

I would side with the NCR, but only if they were allied with the BoS (or the other way around)


i would like the way my char does it best -- leader of a primarily NCR affiliated Mercenary that can do whatever he wants (including working with and helping the BoS)

Very wrong. The Legion is already running four states. And in those states there is no other faction then the Legion. Meanwhile in the NCR they have all the problems of the normal wastes. Once the Legion took over the Mojave it would become as safe and stable as the rest of there territories. And not all of the population would be enslaved.

Fine then, still not loving the Legion, but I don't hate them now.

If I had to fight a war I d tak NCR. They are fairly well equiped and have large numbers. I think they would defeat anyone else in mw over time. I might die, but the question said something about war.

NCR has tools, talent, large numbers. No other group in mw has all of those.

*is somehow able to type a reply even though he's being lashed to a cross at this very moment*

Ow... Anyway, yeah he took certain aspects of the Roman Empire but left out the ones that really made it great. For instance, women in Roman society did lack certain rights but they weren't nearly as oppressed as they are in Caesar's Legion. Women could conduct business as well as read and generally were treated far better by their male counterparts. Also Caesar kinda' messed up when he modeled the Legion after the Mid-Late Roman Empire as that's around the time it started to decline.

This was mainly due to the fact that pretty much any general who'd earned the loyalty and respect of his men (as well as a decent reputation through victory in battle) could march on Rome and kick the current emperor out. This destablized the government dramatically as the people didn't know who their leader would be next year. The Legion left to it's own devices would inevitably enter Civil War after Caesar dies (Lanius versus Lucius would be my guess, with Vuples siding with Lucius).

Personally I'd of done it differently, staying more true to the actual Caesar's plan. Keep the facade of a Republic with all the bells in whistles of the old Republic (the various ranks such as Consul, Praetor and the like) to give the people the illusion they had a say in how things went as well as keeping the Senate in tact, whilst proclaiming myself "Dictator for Life", as he did. Obviously it didn't work out great for Caesar as he got stabbed some 37 times, but judging by how subservient everyone in the "Legion" is, and the fact that they lack a general knowledge of how the actual Caesar of their timeline met his end, I think it would work it ideally.

Can't say the same for the NCR. I love to hate them.

The Goodsprings Faction. Headquartered at Prospector Saloon, and led by the mighty Trudy. If I couldn't get bar work, I would shovel Bighorner crud all day if I had to, but spend the rest of my time getting drunk in the saloon and having casual six with any female prospector, merchant, merchant's wife, merchant's daughter - that stopped in on their way to wherever. Oh yes. If there were few female visitors I'd turn my attention to the Bighorners. :woot: lol... ah come on! Don't judge. What do you care? You're all off saving and changing the world with the big factions. Some of us have to be common folk, otherwise what's the point? Hyuk hyuk hyuk! :laugh:

Caesar's Legion.


It's also noteworthy that Mr. House isn't a "faction".


Yeah.....You do that. Although I think the only thing you'd get out of it is a beating.



Becoming a centurion takes years and years of service and a triple digit kill count.

+1
I'd try and convice him to get the L38's defences back up to full operational potential. If these things can target and shoot down incoming nukes while running on outdated software, woo, what could they do after being upgraded? Plus he has three gangs under his control, a fortified town and a super-army of battle droids lol

He's the only one I could imagine getting industry and civilisation back up and running again tbh.

I would never consider the Legion for anything but death on sight, of course i do have ONE play where i made a Legion sympathizer but it was a serious rush job i just can not get behind the idea of slavery no matter how good intentioned. Slavery is something that can not get on board with and will KoS any slavers or their supporters (in FO3 i destroyed Paradise Falls in every play but one like the Caesar play i have). The Legion is nothing more than a tyranical system driven by incompetent leadership where life has little or no value which is typical of the wasteland, so the Legion is NOT an improvement just more of the same disguised as something else. So as that is my feeling i would have to say that i would sign up with ANY faction that shoots the legion on sight, extends them no human dignity, treats tham as they choose to be treated which is as disposable people. Who am i to argue with someone who believes they are worthless and is willing to die for that worthless cause, a motive i completely support one bullet at a time. Such is my passion for thier cause that i am willing to spend hours crafting special bullets for every Legion sympathizer, i am willing to seek them out where they congregate turning over any and all rocks they might be hiding under, willing to spend my time to release them from thier bondage one bullet at a time. Caesar the narcissist and meglomaniac is a rabid dog who like any other danger in the Mohave is a problem that can only be solved by a high speed implantation of lead prefferebly at the base of the neck.

Asai

Haha I'm usually the same, untill I realised that I might need an at least neutral rep with them for future DLC's..
So until I know for sure I won't be going and wiping out the fort with my flying ball of death and boone...

Sweet speculation bro. I'll give you that a legionarie would have to serve for a years before being viable for a promotion to Centurion, but I'm not sure where you pulled "triple digit kill count" from.

Centuri 100 100 kills of some weak tribals and maybe a couple NCR during the first loss at the dam.

No matter a Ranger vet that has killed 3 bos is worth 1000 primitive tribals in lore. cl are scrubs I can t believe people think they are hard asses. They have only ever met 1 single real challenge. That being a loss to NCR at the dam. Go forth join the Legion!!!! May you be the first to quick march into machine gun fire with your lawn mower blade held high lol

...Mmkay, but my point was never about the individual legionarie. It's about the way the two civilizations are built from the ground up. The NCR, as cute as they are with their "try hard and give'em hell" attitude is a fairly dangerous beast in it's current state, able to throw walls of soldiers at just about any problem that might arise.

Of course, what with there being a food shortage coming up in a decade and the fact that they expanded way too far way too fast (a mistake the Roman Republic made, and eventually suffered badly for it), it doesn't seem likely to be around in 50 years. If it is it'll be drastically weaker and likely pushed out of the Mojave completely.
