NCR is following the ways of the Old World and are very likely to discover how to use Nukes. How do we know House will stay true to what he has claimed? Looks like to me so far he just sits in the Strip surrounded by his securitrons not giving a dawm about what happens to anything else.

No they dont but Bacon believes NCR is well on their way on ressurecting the Old World (with all its nukes and [censored])

NCR isn't going to last long enough to discover nuclear weaponry if they don't change their course. And even if they did it would only be a one-sided nuclear war, atleast against any current faction(Ulysseus' excluded).

It will happen again. It will keep happening. Unless we learn from our mistakes of the old world.

Legion probably will keep clear of nukes, I agree on that(If that is your point). But all out apocalypse, again? I can't believe it even could happen. One nuke doesn't destroy a faction like the NCR or the Legion, and there probably isn't that many of them left. And they would be rare.

I'm sure the secret of how to make nukes is tucked away somewhere in the ruins of somewhere.

They used a radiological weapon, that's nuclear technology and must contain serious nuclear material for the damage it did; so Caesar has actually used nuclear weapon.

Who is more likely do discover how to manufacture Nukes.

A faction dedicated to old world way of life.
A faction that decides depending on Technology is weak.

Yes Caesar used a Rad weapon. Are you saying NCR wouldn't?

There are only a certain amount of Nukes left in the world but to be honest NCR would be closer to discovering how to manufacture them. :ermm:

Legion VS NCR is derailing in any thread that isn't titled Legion VS NCR IMO, even one about factions.
Just because it usually descends into name-calling and whatnot.

Caesar actually manufactured and deployed a nuclear weapon. As for the NCR of course they would, they were activelly trying to do so in the Divide.

I meant the big ones, those that scar the land otherwise than just radiation. For I don't believe Caesar(well maybe Lanius) would leave a huge hole to a yet-to-be-conquered area and killing hundreds or thousands of potential citizens and slaves. A military camp would be a different thing but a nuke is a bit overkill there. And I think Caesar(Ed) understands that nuking a large area only raises opposition when moving to grab the land.

No he was proving the fact that you said NCR would use Nuclear weapons, and he was explaining that so would Legion, so whats ur point with that?

We are discussing factions in a rate the faction thread. It's not long until the House lovers descend on us backed by the Enclave anyway.

Ok, NCR wins the war. 1000 years later the world returns to semi old world. Scientests discover on how to manufacture Nukes. Re-do.

Legion wins the war. Nobody discovers nukes, nobody needs to use them and 1000 years later the world is prospering.

Nuclear weapons present the opportunity to completely destroy an enemy without any loss on your part, so unless Caesar really, fanatically believed in his rhetoric about technology weakening humankind or whatever then I think he would. It's all good talking the talk until you actually have to make the call, that said Caesar regard's all his subjects with impersonal feeling - can you really have friends and such in the Legion? Maybe he wouldn't find it so hard to send his people to the slaughter to prove his little point.

The Legion doesn't change in 1000 years because it's founder said no... that's not even worth a scathing retort. In-fact no, Caesar explicitally states that the transition fron nomadic warband to a standing army - which I'd say says plenty about the supposed Legion "civilian" life - is exactly what he intends; that the war with the NCR will intrinsically weed out the failing or failed parts of his society and leave something better.

EDIT: In-fact no scratch that, there will be other nations on the Earth aside from just the Legion. Such an obvious answer.

Since there were valid reasons for this to be on topic, I might as well continue. :biggrin:
Are you talking about Caesar Edward or Lanius? For Lanius I can believe that he nukes first and thinks later, but Ed? I'd believe he would only nuke an isolated target that is purely militaric, thus justifying his actions when they are questioned by his newer subjects.

Yeah that's how it starts. One minute he's just removing a major obsticle for the Legion, it sets a precident that makes justifying later use easier; either do or don't, you can't sit on the fence with regards to the deployment of nuclear weapons.
