I actually play independent, but I like the NCR much more than the legion. I try to have a high reputation with the NCR before I betray them at the end The legion I just can't take seriously, siding with them is always hilarious to me.

Nothing better than defending the dam from hordes of savages with machetes NCR all the way.

i want to like the legion because of the roman theme but i always feel like a horrible person for joining them and end up going with the NCR.

NCR like this one better .

the legion 's too bad : D

Anyone else feel like Fallout painted the Legion as the typical "Bad Guys?"

I mean, in the beginning of the game all you hear about them is that they're scary warriors in old sports equipment. Throughout the game until you're asked to join Caesar, you slowly start developing the idea that the Legion is run by a power-hungry madman, hates women with a passion, and refuse to accept new/old-world technology. You have to actually put in effort to NOT hate the Legion outright.

IDK, maybe it was just bad writing or me being a bug-head, but that's how I see the situation.

I go for New California Republic because they are a more civil faction than Legion, Legion walk into towns destroy,kill innocent people, it made me sick when walking into Nipton and straight away I knew I would avenge them. NCR are more calm about there actions

I'm not with the NCR, but between them? NCR all the way, i don't see me joining the Legion ever.
I did one playthrough a long time ago where i did the vanilla game 100%, but that was it. Now, joining them for roleplay, never. I play almost always as a bad karma character, but i don't see me killing inocent poeple, raping, crucifixing anyone, etc. Even if it is for a cause, bad or good, that will never be my characters or even me. As i am not a radical or extremist of any sort.

On my first playthrough I picked the NCR because they make more sense in their goals while the Legion is too barbaric and simple minded.
Besides, as a perk says, I'm a sneering imperialist with a distaste for tribals.
Sure neither side is perfect but NCR always felt like a more sensible choice in my opinion.

I personally enjoy the legions point of view more. However the NCR is a lot more beneficial to you as you gain better reps allowing more access with the other factions.

PLUS I hate destroying the BOS with the legion.

NCR, even though not the best vison as the Legion, but they look more stable and liked then the legion

Ncr although the way they work is the same way great britain was back in 1700's and we know what happened to them i'm not sure if that's what fallout new vegas was going for but they do show the same traits.

Well if i have to chose between two i would go with NCR, even tho they are not perfect, they are trying to restore old world republic and bring democracy and some decent lifestyle to the wasteland, while legion on the other hand are too brutal even for the mess that is wasteland. Building empire on slavery, merciless killing, raping, i think it's doomed to be destroyed. And yea they are begging to be shoot at while lurking around wearing skirts

I like the NCR over the Legion because there trying to rebuild new vegas and California and there not monsters like the legion.

The NCR because they not put people in crosses and destroy cities

I'd prefer NCR, because face it.
No one wants to align themselves with crucifixes, rapers and murderers.
The NCR might not be perfect, but it the best thing for the Wasteland!

The NCR, I admit they are rather corrupt and suffer from many of the same problems and ideals that the Old World governments seemed to have. They still are the best choice for a good aligned courier. It's the kinda thing about hating their government but loving their people. I think cass can explain it a lot better then me but the fact is that the NCR aren't bad people they just make bad choices some times. Witch to me indicates that the NCR is a lot like a real government, it's capable of making mistakes but they aren't afraid of owning up to them(be it reluctantly). Of course the rangers are a big plus and the entire military organization makes me feel like being a part of a bigger whole.

About Caesar's legion, no for me. why? 2 words: slavery and rape. I can't stand the idea of slavery it disgusts me too a point that I will always start butchering the legion alongside my first recon guy Boone, 2 Rape is just as bad in my eyes: if you can't get laid just look for porn or go to gommorah. Rape is never an option and can't be excused.

I personnaly prefer the NCR because that's a military group with a president and I hate the Legion because they are just a barbarian group and they support the slavery, kill innocent people.

Peace.

I've played through New Vegas numerous times, but not once have I gone with the Legion. The NCR in my opinion, while not perfect, is the best thing for the wasteland. Unless you count the Brotherhood of Steel from Fallout 3.

The NCR is FAR more preferable to the barbaric despotism that Caesar seems to be leading. As inefficient and corruption prone as the bureaucratic NCR may seem it's very much so the lesser of the two evils. Though, in my opinion, Robert House is probably the best hope for the Mojave.

I would say true to Caesar if it was Legion or Mr.House but NCR is here and it is my choice because firstly the NCR isnt some radical group seeking to control power and territory sure NCR is also doing it but they have intentions to bringing back humanity to the wasteland.Lastly the legion has slaves and they are an overall douchebag. Also as I said in my first statement that I would pick Legion over The Strip because most of the security is robots and if someone hacks em it can easily cause some trouble in the strip, Legion has cool armor .(lmao)
