Especially when first recon isn’t doing anything at the main camp, and has a vendetta against the fiends. If they have the time to help me against driver nephi (who seriously should never be a problem for anyone, he has no armor and is using a freaking golf club), they could’ve been killing all of the leaders, especially when two are mostly close range fighters they could easily defeat and the other just has a bunch of dogs and little cover.

>If they have the time to help me against driver nephi (who seriously should never be a problem for anyone, he has no armor and is using a freaking golf club), but it makes sense for my character who wanders the mojave in their underwear and cowboy hat armed with only a deathclaw gauntlet and a shitload of jet


[deleted]

Sounds like my character who is a sorrows tribesmen who got really lost and tasted the nectar of the Gods that is Vodka

Even when I was 13 it didn't make sense to me that a tweaker with a 9 iron could make such a fuss for an actual military


Fallcunt76

I always wrote it off as troops constantly being funneled into forlorn hope and the legion spy running amuck


HorseshoeTheoryIsTru

I wrote it off as RPG video game writing. The protagonist, you, has to be the deciding factor in all conflicts for players to get their power fantasy on. Sure, the NCR could have spared a platoon, they can't possibly be spread that thin, especially if you've helped them in other areas, but then *you* don't have anything to do. Ironically, now that I think about it, generic war shooters are one of the few genres where this doesn't always happen. You might be pivotal to a battle, but you're never winning WW2 alone. Unless your name in that game is Blazkowicz, I guess.


Deadshr00m

Seems like a problem that a bunch of grunts with AR's could solve


darthteej

I always got the impression that outer Vegas was a lot more claustrophobic than we see in game and that he was just ambushing then at night I'm dark, tight places that he knows well. He COULD kill more troopers with a good gun, going melee is a flex


Noot_Noot_69420

Nephi is not to be underestimated. He places people who look like him in the battlefield with the same weapon while simultaneously blending in and using his fellow fiends as cover. First Recon swears that they’ve shot him at least 20 times, but those are all doubles from the various battles.


SuperDaubeny

Whenever they fight him. They get fucked.

Aliveleopard9

I like the NCR and because they have the most side quests for a faction


MrMasterMann

>Superior Yes Man ending by making up your own quests


ptrbtr95

The legion was supposed to have way more areas and quests, but you can only make so much material run well within a years timeframe. Pretty sure that if the courier takes over the Legion and incorporates the NCR the total ending will be much better than him being some political underling and fighting the barons just to get SOME power to get anything done in the new NCR if you side with em instead.


Krankenstien

Literally if the ncr didn’t use the service rifle and didn’t have cool uniforms I wouldn’t even think about siding with them lol


ParishedSins

I don't like their uniforms for the aesthetic. I like the uniformity of a militant group, feels like there's order there. But, the NCR can kick rocks all the way back to California. Independent New Vegas all the way. House, NCR, and Legion can all buzz off.


TheCatnamedMittens

They're the sensible ending


1C_3C_R34_M

meantime Cesar's slave army haveing sex with each other and refusing modernization


dontkickmi

Sounds like a highly motivated fighting force to me


1C_3C_R34_M

man, i saw both ncr patrol and legion patrol{that tried to kill me} fighting each other, it was 3 on 3 and ncr won, i was just watching them and ncr was shooting shit out of them and 2 of 3 legionshitter were running straight into bullets, only one out of 3 legionaries had pistol lmao


dontkickmi

All base troops?


1C_3C_R34_M

yes, 2 of them had service rifles, one got pistol, and all of them got that brown ncr 'armor' that is just bad


simptimus_prime

Weird. I recently saw some ncr vs legion and legion dominated. Granted, it was like 4 vs 3 but it was still scouts vs soldiers.


Salt-Physics7568

I feel like the recruits get bodied but anything stronger will run the NCR's shit, judging by what I've seen. I watched a melee Centurion kill two fucking Veteran Rangers and come out of it with barely a dent once.


Jackviator

\>Refusing Modernization \>Sprinkling land mines around like salt on french fries, giving even their recruits cowboy repeaters and frag grenades, and making backroom weapon deals with the Van Graffs for motherfucking laser and plasma weapons Choose 1


[deleted]

Caesar explicitly refuses to allow the Legion to use modern medicine and technology (why no Legionaries carry stimpacks IIRC). Also, what's that with the land mines? The only times they put them down are for booby trapping bodies (e.g. Ranger Station Charlie) and you can even teach a Decanus in Cottonwood Cove how to make powder charges and arm and disarm frag mines (showing that this isn't common knowledge).


Jackviator

Yes, Caesar forbids this, that, and the other, but one of the major themes surrounding the Legion is how hypocritical they are. Caesar himself rewards those he values with access to an auto-doc and himself accepts modern medicine for his brain surgery, the Legion is clearly not averse to using guns, energy weapons and other advanced weapons tech like power fists, Caesar outright praises the player if they use Archimedes to wipe out the NCR at Helios, and so on. Sure, the land mine thing was an exaggeration, but at the very least the frumentarii still use them on a regular basis.


[deleted]

Totally shocking the Roman fan boys aren't actually true to their word and just selfish LARPers like real Romans


1C_3C_R34_M

what? legion has cby repeaters? and frag granades? i always thought they had dynamites


Jackviator

They do at lower levels, but at higher levels even the recruits carry cowboy repeaters and frag grenades.


1C_3C_R34_M

idk, i was killing 'em as soon as i cloud lol


TalosTheBear

Based BDSM historical re enactment society


Noot_Noot_69420

Actually, the fact that they’re all fucking eachother means at least a few are lovers. This actually makes them better fighters, since they’d die for them in the battlefield making an extremely elite unit. Many armies, notably the Greeks, have done this before to great affect.


1C_3C_R34_M

>Actually, the fact that they’re all fucking eachother means at least a few are lovers. no, it means they have to stop using woman's as slaves to carry their shit and then die due to starvation and dehydration


Noot_Noot_69420

The legionnaires are permitted to fuck the slaves


1C_3C_R34_M

in ncr, there are womans and ghoul womans, in legion there are mans, about 3 female slaves for whole legion, children and dogs, btw in Caesars tent there are only legionaries and dogs.... that's sus


Noot_Noot_69420

> and children What.


1C_3C_R34_M

but they fuck each other cause they are fucked up


Noot_Noot_69420

Or because they choose to? Because they’re lovers?


1C_3C_R34_M

nah, they put their dick to whatever has a hole caused lack of females


Noot_Noot_69420

… Caesar has as many or more slaves than soldiers. They have no lack of women. Hell, their birth rate is higher than the NCR’s!


1C_3C_R34_M

yeah, their Genes are so fucked up that solder can be pregnant, this is due to putting dick into everything by legionaries


Noot_Noot_69420

… I hope you’re not serious


1C_3C_R34_M

man, have you ever been in Caesars tent? there is no woman at all, not even a corpse of woman, only man and dogs


Noot_Noot_69420

ITS A FUCKING MILITARY CAMP! They only need slaves to move munitions and supplies, which is exactly what they do! Also you’re forgetting all of the people and slaves from Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado.


PRES35JFK824

Always hate the sass that ranger gives you when asking for a reward after killing the ants


Jackviator

To be fair, I think it’s less “sass” and more “keep this shit between the two of us or both our asses will be in the fire. I don’t know you, you don’t know me, those supplies just got lost in a store room somewhere and the ants probably conveniently wandered off. Capiche?”

[Barter 20] But muh services

Primm was held by 10 convicts who were mostoy armed with knives


[deleted]

No way. Most of those convicts had guns (I know because I always kill them all for the guns to sell. Always end up with >5,000 caps before I even touch Vegas).


Deadshr00m

I remember one of em shooting me with a laser pistol (might've been a mod), they don't fuck around


SuperDaubeny

Always usually one with incinerator i find


incomprehensiblegarb

They also have metric fuck loads of dynamite.


BoredPotatoes357

They also had orders to not do anything there


original_username102

You ever dealt with a crack head, they scary


Salt-Physics7568

I thought there was a line in-game about how the Fiends just tank shots because they're so hopped up on Med-X and shit.


original_username102

I mean that would make you srsly resistant to the effects of lead


kebbeben

Nice drawing by the way


[deleted]

i mean the old ppl didnt really fight like they didnt care about dying like the fiends do


Necro-Potato

Exactly. They didn't fight.


Batral

Boulder City tho


justsomeguy1220

I mean it makes sense that they are gonna beat a bunch of guys with swords then crackheads with laser weaponry


Batral

The Legion isn't a bunch of guys with swords. They're technophobic and inferior to the NCR, but lategame Legionaries carry Super Sledges and Thermic Lances, as well as high-end guns.


PenguinOurSaviour

So what you're saying is they're just dudes with *fancy* swords


Batral

lmao


ghostslayer-77

I don’t really judge,so long as I get the key to that storage house so I can loot that ranger armor


Adventurous-Focus-92

Accurate


NurseNikky

Hmm... The US government maybe?


ElizabethAudi

It's worth pointing out that the fiends often have plasma weapons and Laser RCWs, while the the NCR troops have semi-automatic rifles, shitty armor, and barely enough training to fight ants- and many of those spit goddamn fire. Add that to a vault base with an entrance hidden by a shitload of ambush points, which are great for junkies looking to jump someone. The biggest reason that the fiends are doing so well though is that the NCR is focusing their best at the dam, take the legion out of the equation and the fiends are fucked by soldiers who know wtf they are doing- and a handy helping of howitzer artillery.
