God damn it, every time with these people. They make someone makes an alternate platform to host content that fags and trannies ban and they can't even keep it up and updated...
INB4 they add nothing to the Legion and instead lean heavily into them being CHUDs.
The fact that the Brotherhood is getting more screen time than the NCR in the Mojave is already a massive red flag, they really are going to butcher all of the west coast's pre established lore and make the Brotherhood the top dog faction just like in the Bethesda East Coast games ( which makes no fucking sense ).
None of it makes any sense, but as it was already established earlier in the thread, trying to make the world cohesive is gay and cringe because it hurts people's feelings or something, I dunno. You get what you tolerate.
Despite using the same assets and engine, Fallout 76 has a weird tint to it that makes everything shiny and grey as if the game had an ENB mod installed. It's so weird.
It could have very well been a regional thing, and to make it more distinct-looking. DC has a super distinct look irl so they may have wanted to intentionally stray from that. I would say that I think they should have drawn from local aesthetics more, maybe like that eyesore city hall.
As far as the Legion goes it makes perfect sense that such a large faction would still be around after the events of New Vegas.
That's exactly what I thought. The original designs for T60/T45 are probably riveted at that part of the helmet, but I am too lazy too look. Either way, nobody will complain because this isn't aimed at the actual fans of the franchise. Tourists will probably love it because oh boy, I hecking love Iron Man! Bethesda might even make it canon in Fallout 5, even tho the game itself won't be canon, but I digress.
Of course The Legion wouldn't collapse from a single battle, question is why the fuck would you stick around with whatever men you have after a defeat so bad? For a third asskicking? And those were veterans that were wasted at the second battle, who the fuck do they even have left, the green recruits? Also, most players will raise the bomber from the lake, so they also have a literal flying fortress that drops bombs to worry about, which they don't seem to have a counter for(they barely have one artillery gun in the base game and even then it doesn't work unless you fix it). Those bombers fly too high to be taken out by Missile Launchers, so what's the plan here? At least Broken Steel had an entire quest dedicated to trying to counter Vertibirds after Brotherhood's main way of destroying them, Liberty Prime, was blown up. We're reaching the point where Fallout 3 is going to be better written than the TV show, it truly is the end of the world. Fallout POS is probably going to be better written too and that game is literally just Fallout for teenagers, metal music and big boob raider boss BDSM dominatrix and potty humor and all that.

IIRC wasn't ORGINALLY FO4 supposed to be set only a few decades after the bombs fell? I remember hearing something like that off and on.
On closer look, it's not even T-51 it's some mix of T-60 and T-51. I saw some complaints that season one made Power Armor a bit too Iron Man-y which I thought was a pretty weak point, but this is 100% Iron Man shit now,
Yeah, but the Legion-controlled towns aren't part of the Legion proper. Unlike Rome which drew its recruits from the people they protected and fought for so the whole thing was part of a connected whole the Legion is completely independent of their subjects save the occasional demand for tribute. The binding civitas that Rome had simply doesn't exist. The Legion is a giant wandering nomadic tribal warband, not a proper army of the people. The cities have no loyalty to the Legion save what it earned killing the local raider tribes, and the Legion likewise has no ties to the towns it rules over. Its an incredibly fragile relationship and if the Legion's strength ever wanes or the strength of the cities grows internal conflict between the two is inevitable.
The Caesar was a retard and deserves to have his LARP nation fall apart.
Caesar's problem is that he's a giant egotist and instead of settling down and turning Arizona into a New Rome rebuilt in his image he needs to make like the Caesar he took his name from did and go cross a river and conquer the civilized places. He doesn't give two shits about the places he currently rules over save what they provide in tribute and slaves, but is instead obsessed about taking over Nevada and California and washing away their corrupt governments in a river of their own blood.
Caesar's plan/intent, from what I recall, was arguably a bit more batshit or high-concept but I could be misremembering. It explains why he doesn't care about administrating conquered territory effectively because he's of the view that once the NCR is conquered, his Legion and the fallen NCR would synthesise into an optimal system that was greater than the sum of its parts; I don't know whether this would occur when he's still alive or after he's dead, but he cites how absorbing the different tribes into his Legion usually leads to something or other getting absorbed, and whatever they gain from the NCR will change the Legion for the better.
Yes, that's basically it. The Legion's fragility is a feature not a bug, because he does intend to set up a new Rome complete with an army dedicated to the nation-state as a whole and not just its personal loyalties to its leader as their warlord. He just wants to do that in California and not Arizona.
