My favorite faction is myself! No, but in all reality it is the BOS because I agree that we should preserve the tech of the past and not have dumbasses and raiders have it. I just don't like how they make fun of you when you are neutral with them *silently a tear runs down his cheek*

I'd say my own faction. It seems like at the end of most of my playthroughs I end up leading large groups of people. Not necessarily into battle though. Like in my latest fallout 3 playthrough with zombie apocalypse where I recruited a bunch of scientists from across the wasteland make a cure.

My favourite faction would have to be the Enclave, I found they have good goals but go about these things the wrong way which annoys all the other factions. Plus they are extremely resistant after suffering major defeats in the west they arrive in the east, have to fight a super weapon which is causing major loses. So what do they do? They destroy it which puts fear into the BOS soldiers and leaders. At the end of Fallout NV when you recruit the remnant's the final screen comments on how the Enclave inspired fear into people across the wasteland.

Perhaps the Enclave but the Fallout 2 Faction

I like the Legion and their Ideology BUT as an Enemy, I wouldn't want to join them.

However I feel some form of loyalty to the BoS; the front cover of Fallout 3 with a paladin in Power armour was what caught my attention and encouraged me to buy it and get into the Fallout Series in the first place.

I kinda enjoy the Followers of the Apocalypse. Their ideology is to help people and give everyone decent access to technology (unlike some armored grunts...). They don't have any hidden agenda, they are not corrupt and they don't kill anyone. In my opinion that's what a post nuclear civilisation needs, not crazy maniac slavers and military regimes. Even Edward has some kind of respect for the Followers of the Apocalypse.

I would pick the Great Khans. They are one of the few factions in New Vegas that didn't want to fight in the first place. They were minding their own business until the NCR came along. They also have really interesting and cool lore behind that I wished was more explored in New Vegas. The other thing is that they try to keep themselves in a way secluded because of the NCR. I maybe getting my lore wrong, but that's how I see it. Two other groups I would like to mention is the Followers of the Apocalypse and the Boomers. The followers are trying to do something the other factions are not doing. They are trying their very best to heal the wasteland and make a better place to be in. If you ask me, if did resort to being defensive and have weaponry, but only using their weaponry when its absolutely necessary, they would be a tough bunch. The Boomers have a very interesting history behind them. They know their weaponry and keep a tight ship. If they were more explored in the game, then they would probably be my choice. Maybe there could be a quest mod that expands them?

In new vegas when I play as a good hearted character I usually join the NCR, but when I play as a total a*****e then I pick the Legion.

Favorite... ok...Enclave.
If not for those meddling kids they would get things done.
While NCR has the manpower to try and rebuild the US and Mr House has the technology...BoS has the weapons...
I honestly believe the Enclave isnt BSing themselves. "Welp! Space plan didnt work out, we're rebooting on Earth. Private Johnson, go exterminate super mutants." They know what happened and what has to be done.
Yes, they did want to rule everything but...any faction can end up like that.

Myself. While I don't necessarily mind working for other people, it just seems like you end up as everyone's favorite errand boy if you side with a Faction. House is probably the best, he's reasonable, fair, calculating and doesn't screw you over.

For the smaller factions, definitely the Great Khans. I like their war glory worldview, and how they're still not completely insane, megalomaniacs or hypocrites. They just stick up to their own pretty much.

Personally I would go for the brotherhood of steel east coast chapter.
I've always had problems with the brotherhood in general, they are a cult who can't find it in them self's to deviate from their codex and seem to look upon anyone not part of their own group as outsiders not worth a damn(except if they are carrying advanced technology, then you can expect a blast of laser up your ass). that is except the east coast chapter, Elder Lyons belief that they as the brotherhood are morally obligated to destroy the vault 87 supermutants and protect the people of the capital wasteland has been an inspiration too my playthrough of fallout ever since.

I can still remember the end of fallout 3 me fighting alongside the Lyons Pride clad in powerarmor. The anti-communistic patriotic propaganda of Liberty Prime ringing in the background. as we were fighting the enclave and boot them from the purifier. I will never forget that, God I felt like a bloody hero fighting for a better cause. It's why they will always remain in special place in my heart.

@senchinhengo

Dude,same I personally love the brotherhood of steel faction armor. Once i'm strong enough to take out the brotherhood of steel I go down to there secret hideout and murder all of the just to obtain there gear.For one reason, they have the powerful faction gear nor they never let there gear break.

Definitely brotherhood of steel outcasts because i love the t 45d power armor especially their version and because they kept true to their original mission, to collect and preserve technology, and they are badass

Favorite faction would be NCR with drags overhaul but base game its BoS

The Regulators from Fallout 3! While yes, there wasn't much to go on for them other than they're a group of badass bountyhunting law givers, what's not to love?

NCR, the only hope of rebuilding civilization.
They're not perfect but they're better than everybody else...

NCR, not the best group but at least they have more respect and a better chance of success!

While not the most robust faction, anti-elitism Followers of the Apocalypse are secular-humanists, who tend to the inhabitants of the wasteland, as well as to ensure that the horrors of the Great War are never to be repeated. To that end, they serve as keepers of knowledge, often promoting pacifism to cure the harsh wasteland.

Though most wastlanders view them as anarchist, I believe the Followers are your modern-day humanitarian organizations, such as FAO, WHO, UNRWA, etc., etc. They're not perfect but they're intentions seem competent.

While NCR has the highest chance of achieving Civilization, The Followers of the Apocalypse is the most humane group,helping everyone they can.

All of the factions are so flawed that I usually just play independently of them and side with whoever is the most in line with my character (or in the case of New Vegas, Yes Man). If I had to pick one that I like the most, I'd go with House because he's a bit of a megalomaniac like most of my characters.

ive always liked the ncr. they look badass... the rangers r so cool,, cept ill always shoot one to get some free clothes or weapons... oops sorry mr ranger but it had to be done..
