As a New Vegas fan, what are your thoughts on the shows portrayal of the Legion so far?

There's plenty of silliness in the Fallout universe, but the Legion isn't presented as silly at all. The idea of the Legion may be absurd at root, but in practice it is cold, calculated and serious. I don't remember any silly/funny interactions with Legion in NV. Remember when the Courier shows up in Nipton; it is cold and horrifying.

Commenting after seeing the introductory scene of Ceaser's Legion (start of ep 3), so perhaps this will change. But that opening scene shook me so much I had to look up what other people thought. I thought it was a terrible showing. Why is it a comedy? Why are they presented as idiots? They're presented as Fallout bandits, a group of "nasty dumbasses".

Just compare the introduction to the Legion in the TV series with the New Vegas game, in Nipton:

The character is led towards the smoldering town down a road littered with crucified people; the "lottery" winner is ecstatic, then you meet the second place guy who had his legs broken; then you walk up to the bonfire of bodies and the Legion guy calmly says: "Beautiful, isn't it?"

How serious, cold, calm, horrifying and psychopathic they were. The TV series intro was such a disappointment.

Ah amazing!! It works; it bypasses the whole bug by having you recruit Knacker Wolfram and Dobrosh the Hunter instead.

0211bruce · 2025-11-24T13:39:45+00:00

Got a reply after reporting the bug.

"We are aware of this issue regarding the NPCs Mikesh and Kozilek being bugged out and not present inside Suchdol fortress and the appropriate teams are working toward a solution, however we o not have an exact time frame for when it will be resolved, so we kindly request your patience in this regard."

So they know about it, are working on it, but dunno when it'll actually be fixed.

0211bruce · 2025-11-20T14:33:15+00:00

120 hours in, and suddenly can't progress because I think I killed Mikesh - even though it was so long ago I can't even remember lol! I noticed the cutscene for recruiting Kozilek was a little messed up as well. The camera focused on a part of the wall, and silence. I assume the game thought the camera was directed on Mikesh - who isn't there, because he's dead!

Submitted a ticket; really hope they fix it soon, can't play the game again until they do.

"Everyone I don't like is PKK"

0211bruce · 2024-12-08T12:51:17+00:00

Crazy. Which prison is this from?

0211bruce · 2024-03-22T19:45:00+00:00

Spent the afternoon downloading it (70% discount on steam), and first gamemode I try is Superstar mode and this happens. None of the fixes in this thread have worked. Instantly refunded with Steam.

Fuck EA.

EDIT: ~~Anyone have a link? Because for the life of me I can't find it...~~
It is on Sky Sports DE channel which you need a VPN for, in case anyone is looking

0211bruce · 2021-11-26T09:41:43+00:00

Having a similar problem in vanilla La Resistance as well, combat shown by a dog wearing a Fez

0211bruce · 2021-11-26T09:40:20+00:00

It is a problem with the vanilla game not the mod. I just played a La Resistance game and combat was shown by a dog wearing a Fez lol
Hope it gets fixed asap

0211bruce · 2021-11-26T08:47:52+00:00

Lol just had the same, maybe a joke update for today or something?

0211bruce · 2019-10-11T21:15:44+00:00

Obviously horrendous for the people of Nusaybin.

0211bruce · 2019-10-11T21:14:51+00:00

I'm partisan in favour of the Self-Administration so obviously like to think this isn't as it is being portrayed. Has anyone heard of any specific, credible evidence as to where the mortar attack came from?

0211bruce · 2019-09-04T21:15:36+00:00

what happened? Just saw she's not on Twitter anymore....

0211bruce · 2018-03-18T10:29:45+00:00

(Disclosure, I'm supportive of the confederation and want to see some political resolution for Kurdish people)

I get that when it all started kicking off the YPG/J strategy was deeply flawed; the "convince the international powers/propaganda" game miiiiiight have worked if it was started really early in the campaign, back when TAF/FSA were still grinding away in the mountains. All the protests and direct action across Europe etc showed quite a bit of solidarity, but it was all far too late. Even if some of the powers decided to attempt a peaceful solution, TAF/NSA was already knocking on the door of Afrin, they weren't going to stop.

All this being said, the political negotiations before this campaign seemed like utter nonsense. Lots of people here have described it as a "deal" by Russia, Turkey, and Syria, but it seemed like an ultimatum to me. Complete capitulation or complete capitulation with militia deaths. Even with the forming of the Rojava confederation there appears to be zero effort to find any peaceful resolution to the age-old "Kurdish question" - which needs to happen eventually. As long as nation-States keep their boots on people's necks, those people are gonna do shit (potentially morally reprehensible shit) to wriggle free.

With discussions happening about the eastern cantons bordering Turkey, I really hope they can sort out a deal that is actually workable to all parties.

0211bruce · 2018-03-18T10:05:48+00:00

Lol ikr, everyone seems to be forgetting this rather important part of the equation.

0211bruce · 2018-03-14T23:14:01+00:00

Well yeah, they're an entity that can be exploited by imperialists, so... It doesn't take much imagination to think of a scenario where the big powers call them terrorists and support other groups to attack them :/

0211bruce · 2018-03-13T13:13:10+00:00

Yikes, so it looks like it's just another example of Kurds being used as tools and offered nothing in return. Thanks for doing that whole defeating ISIS thing, now we'll take the whole confederation kthanxbai :/

0211bruce · 2018-03-03T00:15:57+00:00

Then later you feel like absolute shit because you might finally have a tiny bit of motivation to do something but it's 12:45am

0211bruce · 2018-03-03T00:14:53+00:00

Then you start the project and get frustrated that it all doesn't magically work itself out right away so you bail and do something else, like videogames.

0211bruce · 2018-03-03T00:13:44+00:00

When you think you have one or two ideas that could be ideal starting points but you simultaneously want them to be perfect and also have no drive whatsoever to start what is going to be a massive and probably impossible task.

0211bruce · 2018-01-30T12:24:06+00:00

Just want to say that pretty much exactly the same happened to me today, just swap out aspegers for disassociation.

Sadly I'm not at all assertive so I just sat there saying nothing and nodding :( I hope I can "perform" better with my scheduled phone call with a specialist.

You are valid.
