The outside lore comes from the people that actually made this game, not your rapey fantasy head canon.
Yes, and they added it after the game was released. J. Sawyer even regretted making the Legion come off as rapist bastards, because that convinced many players to just see them as animals.
Basically, this is the lore JE Sawyer added for the Legion after the game came out:
"The additional Legion locations would have had more travelling non-Legion residents of Legion territories. The Fort and Cottonwood Cove made sense as heavy military outposts where the vast majority of the population consisted of soldiers and slaves. The other locations would have had more "civilians". It's not accurate to think of them as citizens of the Legion (the Legion is purely military), but as non-tribal people who live in areas under Legion control."
"While Caesar intentionally enslaves NCR and Mojave residents in the war zone, most of the enslavement that happens in the east happens to tribals. As Raul indicates, there are non-tribal communities that came under Legion control a long time ago, The additional locations would have shown what life is like for those people."
"The general tone would have been what you would expect from life under a stable military dictatorship facing no internal resistance: the majority of people enjoy safe and productive lives (more than they had prior to the Legion's arrival) but have no freedoms, rights, or say in what happens in their communities."
"Water and power flow consistently, food is adequate, travel is safe, and occasionally someone steps afoul of a legionary and gets his or her head cut off. If the Legion tells someone to do something, they only ask once -- even if that means an entire community has to pick up and move fifty miles away. Corruption within the Legion is rare and Caesar deals with it harshly (even by Legion standards)."
"In short, residents of Legion territories aren't really citizens and they aren't slaves, but they're also not free. People who keep their mouths shut, go about their business, and nod at the rare requests the Legion makes of them -- they can live very well. Many of them don't care at all what happens around them (mostly because they felt they never had a say in it before the Legion came, anyway)."
But almost none of this is in the game, all the game describes the Legion as is that they are rapist slavers who are just destroying or enslaving everything west of them. You'd think the Legion would have its own propaganda where they display posters of men and women living in peace under Legion turf and trying to convince Mojave locals of how peaceful Legion life can be, but it's not in the base game at all. Not even a blurb from a Legion character about how men and women under Legion turf are living safe, unmolested lives as citizens of Caesar's Empire. You'd think THAT would be a good sell to the Courier on why they should join the Legion, but they don't even bother with it.
In short, the Legion in the lore is a typical fascist dictatorship. The Legion in the game is a rapist slaver tribe. And you'd know the difference between the two if you actually played the game and talked to all the characters in it like I did, instead of just reading lore blurbs on the internet like what you people seem to be doing. When was the last time you faggots played this game, anyway?
You have to do a lot of tasks for the NCR as well, fuck off with your fanboy sperging.
Nope. They hand you a radio if you do them a few favors. They reward you with a safehouse for doing a lot of things for them. During my House playthrough, I wound up doing a few good things for the NCR along the way so that they'd let me defend their president as per House's orders, and they gave me the radio.
What if the Courier like the slavery and rape? You don't know if I'm playing a sadist Courier. This is why it's called a role playing game, you play a role.
Exactly. And that kind of role is what an evil player character would do. Like a KOTOR player who kills civilians for money and who gets drunk on the Dark Side.
How old are you? You must be over 18 to use this website.
Old enough to be your father, I suppose, given how mature you are.
Something's wrong with you, man.
No, something must be wrong with you idiots to not know the other gem in Obsidian's crown aside from New Vegas. Shit, KOTOR 2 is what convinced me to pick up New Vegas because I enjoyed Obsidian's writing in KOTOR 2 so much and wanted more.
