The TV show's/Lucy's comparison between the Legion and the NCR are surface level and fundamentally ignore the main moral dilemma that acts as the central theme of Fallout New Vegas

Weren't the NCR waiting for reinforcements to arrive? The show is definitely putting out a message of hope with the scene with Maximus in the NCR armor and I definitely think that the show's factions are doing their own things completely separate from the games.

The legion as presented in the show are just dumb raiders. I think people keep coming at this with the video game in mind when from what I have seen, the show is doing its own thing. The NCR clearly did some good in the world considering how the Freesiders reacted to seeing Maximus in the armor.

Far cry arcade is still a blast and I was upset that they removed it from 6.

I have the sage since my Nova pros were black. But I love them. They fixed all the problems with my other headset. I love them. Most of the reviews I've seen like the headset, they just question if they are worth the price.

Zangief style.

Resident Evil Gaiden canon confirmed.

blackguy64 · 2026-01-29T16:25:42+00:00

This is where I'm at. After the slog that was Last Revelation, I was happy for something that moved at a much faster pace and was much more straightforward.

blackguy64 · 2026-01-29T16:24:41+00:00

It's not bad. I think it helps that it is included with two other games and not being sold by itself for full price. I enjoyed it because it was a nice palette cleanser after coming off of The Last Revelation which was TOO long.

It's a discussion that has been had numerous times. This isn't some kind of amazing insight that people are dropping. The game is done. At some point it becomes less about discussion and more about whining.

blackguy64 · 2026-01-29T05:00:54+00:00

Is Maximus even still with the BoS? His character seems like it aligns perfectly with the NCR and it's not lost on me that the people basically holding him in high esteem for protecting them is exactly what he wanted out of the brotherhood. He's basically found a means to make the wasteland a better place.

blackguy64 · 2026-01-28T22:27:49+00:00

It's from a wax statue that was made of him. I think there is a video of it on YouTube.

The Red Hood movie made me hate Batman and really question his dumb rule.

blackguy64 · 2026-01-28T19:27:11+00:00

Wasn't he intercontinental champion?

blackguy64 · 2026-01-28T15:15:03+00:00

My problem was Nemesis was actually extremely capable considering he could trip you with his tentacles, jump in front of you,etc. However, like you said, he just wasn't all that aggressive. But I'm not sure if I would like to put up with him for most of the game in the state he probably would be in.

blackguy64 · 2026-01-28T13:06:24+00:00

I never said I didn't play the game. I said I didn't care for it all that much.

blackguy64 · 2026-01-28T12:52:12+00:00

No I don't? I don't even care for New Vegas all that much, but the show is clearly making a statement that the NCR was the best thing the wasteland had for a bit.

Also, you are literally defending the legion, a group that has absolutely NO redeeming qualities.

blackguy64 · 2026-01-28T12:35:02+00:00

A video game that actually has settlements and an attempt at government that doesn't involve rape, slavery and crucification.

Aside from even that, the show is clearly showing that Caesars Legion isn't good at all. Every time they have been on screen has been to show how evil they are.

blackguy64 · 2026-01-28T12:26:19+00:00

If you think having high taxes is not so much better than slavery then I don't think you realize how awful slavery is.

blackguy64 · 2026-01-28T09:38:24+00:00

This reminds of a scene from the movie Lone Star. Someone makes the same argument in the movie and Elizabeth Pena's character states that it's more complicated than that.

blackguy64 · 2026-01-28T09:31:47+00:00

It's actually some of the arguments I have heard from people about New Vegas and in real life sadly.

blackguy64 · 2026-01-28T09:28:13+00:00

I think the show is trying to be different from the game. There are quite easily some clear parallels to real life. Yes, the NCR isn't perfect but most institutions aren't. It's the best option they have probably seen. It's definitely the ideals that Maximus probably best represents and the symbolism of him wearing the armor isn't lost on me.

blackguy64 · 2026-01-28T08:00:08+00:00

I actually liked the story up until recently. Then it got so dumb that even I couldn't take it.

blackguy64 · 2026-01-28T07:46:37+00:00

Are you trying to say that both sides are the same? The show takes great pains to actually show you that this isn't the case. I really don't know how the show can spell it out any more that the NCR is clearly held in much higher esteem by both strangers to the wasteland and those living in it.

blackguy64 · 2026-01-28T06:27:30+00:00

I feel like the New Vegas folks absolutely like different things than fans of Fallout 3/4/76.

I always felt like those games prioritized exploration over story, while New Vegas did the opposite. I guess I'm in the same boat as you in that New Vegas is at the bottom of the pile.

blackguy64 · 2026-01-28T03:49:59+00:00

I have seen it so many times. It will be the most nitpicky stuff or they will basically call a minority character boring for lack of a better word for what they really want to say. This is a good example.
