Siding with NCR gets you A FUCKING BRANCH

Do NCRcucks really?

Don't forget that you have to pay taxes now, AND you can be cancelled by a (((Brahmin Baron))) or a politician if you stop being a useful little shill for the Republic.
All you're doing is prolonging the inevitable. If NCR won't collapse under itself, then a psycho like Presper/Ulysses will eventually have enough and just nuke them. Not like they have a defense against that, even with how large they are. At least with the other endings you have something to work towards, even in the Independent path.

Meanwhile, Caesar assembled second army after his initial setback, clearly indicating a sizable pool of men.

And its still taken him years of raiding for slaves and resources, a complete revision of Legion combat doctrine into cohorts from their former maniples, and a massive campaign of raiding and rear-area sabotage against the NCR for him to feel confident enough to make the push. The Legion got absolutely wrecked in the first battle, and Caesar is paranoid enough about another defeat to the point where he considers Lanius being quite willing to sacrifice every single Legionary he has to take the dam quite acceptable.

 

[Tri-Tachyon'sClown]

NCRoids will gleefully tell you about le MIC and le guns and tech, disregarding the fact that NCR is like third faction in the desert by power and influence rank. Right behind randomly generated gangsters and the fiends. This behaviour has something to do with trans-inclusive recruitment campaign, i'd reckon..

Even before the whole tranny wave they've been insufferable. Most of the NV community is and was for the most part but damn NCR take the cake. I think it's more so their inability to be creative. They can't roleplay as a Legionary because they are incapable of not seeing themselves in every character they make for example.

Because NCR is THE reddit faction. I've seen screencaps and videos of actual paragraphs of NCR drones there crying about Legion or talking about how House was going to fail because something something capitalism.

I've yet to see a good argument for the NCR that struggles to have a good counter-argument. Hell I rarely see a good argument for the NCR beyond "I like their x, y, and/or z (for example, aesthetic, lore, gameplay, even then that's less a statement and more opinion).

Normies without higher brain functions who think they're "the good guys" because the game throws them in your face all game(cannot comprehend that the game is actually giving you LESS reasons to work with them pretty much every time you interact with them)

Spot on, all these NCRfags think they're the good guys because they didn't actually read the dialogue or if they did, don't understand any underlining motives or subtle narratives. They're the type of people to go "muh corruption" in real life but don't actually know anything that's corrupted and why. Real NCR fans are well aware of this and revel in it, because that's the point. NCRfags will be the first to die in the water wars once the propaganda comes full swing.

Holier than thou moralfag spergs who like to dictate what someone can or cannot say or do. Rules and regulations appeal to them, as does the idea of being "the man" and "civilizing savages/liberating civilians" that don't want them there in the first place

"Legion is le bad. You're not allowed to like them unless you're a sexist bigot." Many such cases, too many. Almost like RP is an enigma to them...these are the same people like the Frontier devs who complained about the Enclave and why you're not allowed to join them. Also "Only we're allowed the civilize the savages, when the Legion does it it's evil because...because it just is!"

People who are military vets or otherwise sympathetic to the army and don't actually care about NCR or their politics but want to alleviate the lives of troops on the frontlines

See, now that I can get behind. These are the actually good people in the NCR, most NCRfags are probably more malicious than the average Fo2 Enclave fan.

I am having trouble making a character that would actually WANT to side with the NCR, which is saying something because I played as a techno-fetishist female Legion courier at one point. My best bet is making a character that's a windmill chaser, always wanting to be the hero and help people out in need, even if it means that these people will be taxed out of their minds and have all their resources taken after the NCR victory.

Lol that Legion character is a living contradiction. Based. Was about to suggest a "happy-go-lucky" NCR recruit who sees the NCR as a true chance of proper civilization, only to get disillusioned throughout the playthrough and become a tough as nails soldier by the end of it.

since Fallout 76 has actual trannies in-game

Mountain "mama." Don't take me home please I rather die.

Whether you're a Bethesda Baby or a Black Isle/Obsidian fanboy, we can all agree and unite under this one flag: we do NOT speak of that trashfire.

Now that's what I'm talking about.

Funny, because /fog/ is mainly just actual F76 trannies posting screencaps of their characters and flirting with each other as if they were on discord, as I posted about here

I haven't been to /fog/ since I got banned for trying to talk about a Fo2 mod. Forgot which. This was years ago.

 

[Illuminati Order Official]

Maybe I'll give House a try.

House with his meritocratic approach and scientific knowledge would probably be the best option if he had means and manpower to put his plans into motion. Having the Dam, a robot army and one loyal henchman probably won't be enough.

 

[The handsome tard]

I wonder what Ceasar would think about Ashur from The Pitt and Arthur Maxson from F4. These three are so different on some aspects but similar in others. Ceasar already made it clear he hates the BOS and their motto, but I can imagine a small part of him would respect Arthur's pragmatic ruthlessness and Ashur's determination in actually wanting to build something out of The Pitt no matter the cost.

I get your point, but after thinking about it, I could see maybe one or two troons being in Fallout; albeit in some extremely raunchy and debauched location, like Gomorrah or some Outer Vegas roach motel brothel. It is Sin City, after all.

You are sort of right but its a very specific context dependent circunstance where that could work but you see, unlike today, it will still be framed as an act of social degeneracy instead of something to be accepted and defended.

There is a reason why, mostly before the 2020's, movies mostly portrayed trannies as ugly freaks.

Out of nearly 2 dozen playthroughs of New Vegas, I cannot bring myself to side with anyone other than NCR.

I can't side with the Legion, because the Legion is a faction of Nick Fuentes clones. They wear football pads and skirts. San Francisco is less faggoty than that.

I can't go independent, because I don't give a shit about the Strip or Outer Vegas riffraff. It only benefits niggers like the fiends and Khans.

Mr. House? Fuck him.

Say what you want about the bureaucrats and politicians of NCR. I side with them because I want to alleviate the burdens of the troops suffering under them, not because I care about Muh Democracy or anything.

Spoiler: The "ideal" NCR ending

The ideal ending for the NCR, in my opinion anyway, would be to have Kimbal and Lee Oliver perish at Hoover Dam and have a new president and Chief Hanlon take over the military or Hell, if you did that much of a good job, have the Courier take over that position out of sheer popular demand and with the support of Hanlon. I am very sure that most at the NCR would know that a good karma Courier that 100% every NCR mission is the ideal choice to lead the armed forces into becoming a powerful but fair force for good in the wastes.

The troops literally say "If you were serving, you'd be halfway to general right about now".

The NCR only got to where it is now thanks to Tandi and her father's strong but fair leadership for over two generations. And The Legion only got to where it is right now thanks to Ceasar. See a pattern? Good leadership can make or break a nation and the NCR is really needing good leaders that care about the little guy as much as the big picture.

His introduction feels like just this random guy coming out of nowhere, sperging about Bears and Bulls and Couriers, blaming you for the Divide getting blown up, and deciding to blow up everything else because "hurrdurr, me is mad about stuff."

Eh, you can just play Lonesome Road as The Courier being accused of shit they never did and Ulysses is a bit damaged goods from his very harsh upbringing and what he is doing is simply what "makes sense" for him to do.

Lonesome Road can get a bit too philosophical indeed tho, but I'd much rather have that than Bethesda tier dialogue from F4 and the Amazon TV show.

Not something Fallout related directly, but I just opened /fog/, the /vg/ Fallout general, and the latest posts I see are some tranny BBC fetish roleplaying instead of talking about the game

If images don't load up, here is another link:

It should be noted that the general is predominantly filled with Fallout 4 and 76 Bethesda fanboys. The OP of that thread is also a fetish image where the user is attracted to one of the robots in the game, a group of people that were not in any way relevant or I have any evidence even existed within the fandom before Fallout 4.
Bethesda apologists, your response?

Come on, it cant be that bad. *clicks link, reads it*

Well. That was a mistake...

The Legion got absolutely wrecked in the first battle, and Caesar is paranoid enough about another defeat to the point where he considers Lanius being quite willing to sacrifice every single Legionary he has to take the dam quite acceptable.

The legion literally is winning throughout the entire campaign they've taken Nelson they literally have a spy in the NCR main base of operations
Nipton important outpost is destroyed make you much more harder to get supplies to the front
camp Searchlight is completely destroyed the main base blocking Caesars legion from that side of the Colorado.
They destroy one of the main Ranger stations
you literally have to fight off most of the legion to get to lanius.
Without you dragging them over the finish line they would lose spectacularly in the second battle of Hoover Dam and unlike the NCR they've learned from their mistakes

That feels like a cop-out for overdone writing. Ulysses had so much potential. He was originally slated to be a Legion-sympathizing companion in the base game, but that was scrapped because he had too much dialogue to fit on the disc.

Instead, who we got in the final cut was Josh Sawyer's rambling self-insert.

Do NCRcucks really?

NCR has fucked up problems but taking it from the POV of the courier at the time makes sense in a lot of ways. The NCR military is dysfunctional in its efforts in the Mojave but it also provides a lot of infrastructure, education, relief programs and capital to the region as a whole. House keeps the Strip orderly but his immediate ambitions don't stretch beyond that and he butts heads with the other minor factions to a very large degree with about as much leeway as Caesar. Caesar speaks a big game but every time you see the legion, they're wrecking everything in sight and they treat their women like shit. Independent is the most favorable option for advancing yourself and playing your cards right means that everybody involved the Mojave gets a truly new lease on life but then you're largely chained to New Vegas. As I take it, someone who wants to realize a grand ambition would go independent and someone who's more laidback could just let the NCR take over and keep doing jobs with them.

That bitchin' pad becomes all mine once I open Mr. House's germophobe coffin.

Nah, more than likely, your sons, and your sons' sons will spend their lives as personal catamites to Centurion Sodomus Prostatus Stimulus.

[Intelligence 7] a faction of Romeaboos would have a widespread-yet-unacknowledged appetite for little boys.

The Legion's homosexual tendencies are well-known enough among the people of New Vegas that Major Knight at the Mojave Outpost is forced to keep quiet about his own orientation despite the NCR being a bit more open and tolerant back home. You better believe children get used as part of their indoctrination.

Of course the profligates when spread such slander about the legion we do not ******** our boys that is something only profligates would do degenerates like you belong on a cross

That's why he's a likely winner. Military failures are even more valuable than the greatest hits., mainly because they're providing so-needed reality check for the big brass. And besides, after "sacrificing alot of troops", legion still (going by the ending slides) has enough strength to drive the remainder of the NCR beyond the outpost, with them offering no major resistance, meaning that this battle is decisive for both sides.

Not to mention, General Wait-and-See Oliver and his fellow chickenhawks have been seething because they would've gotten crushed in the first battle had it not been for Hanlon's expert leadership of the Rangers and their strategy of luring the Legion into an ambush. So what do they do? Sabotage the Rangers at every opportunity oh also by the way Hanlon completely lost hope in the campaign and is pretty much gonna throw the rematch because he knows that NCReddit can't hold the Dam. There's also Colonel Hsu who is probably their only other competent commander and the NCRedditors sabotage him every opportunity they can.

Are The Overseer's quest mods any good ?

While we're discussing a game whose community's opinions are 99% dogshit, it has come to my attention that Dead Money is disliked. Why?

Its environmental storytelling is brilliant. The themes of greed and incompetence mesh well with the gameplay. It's like a classic survival horror.

What's not to like? "Boo hoo hoo, it's TOO HARD!" To that I say:

DM's problem isn't that it's hard, it's that it's tedious and cheap. Trying to navigate the Villa is tedious. Trying to kill damage sponge enemies that jump around in a game with dogshit aiming is tedious. Turning a character hostile because you had the audacity to pass a speech check on your introduction is cheap. Forcing the player to run through a section of cloud and filling it will bear traps is cheap.

All in all, it just isn't a fun challenge. I may not be the target demographic. When I heard a speaker beeping my reaction was "fucks sake" not "OHSHITOHSHITOHSHI-" like the developers, by their own admission, intended.
