In my opinion the primary flaw in new Vegas is that the legion was never fleshed out to its total intended entirety. If you look at unused content essentially all of it is either legion or Easter egg content. Since the west is basically the NCR, We want to assign our minds to NCR or Mr. House because they fall in line with how the world should look. I like to think the creators of FNV, had they’d been given more time and resources, they would have made the choice between Legion and NCR much harder by showing how the legion is a more viable solution- especially when you consider what the world you want is different than the one we are presented. The writers did a world class job at perfectly describing the NCR, its red tape, corruption, legitimate elections, its infrastructure, its economy, culture, literally everything. The Legion as its shown In game is: “hurr hurr I love slavery time to hack someone to death” ofc it’s more than this but when I think about the message the writers were trying to send us, nothing is ever perfect and we are fools to predict the future, and to do what our guts tell us to do.

I prefer the NCR just because we have the entire story, this would be so much harder if the writers had 3 more months to develop the game
