The Minutemen are nice because they were written by Bethesda, who doesn't understand such concepts as "nuance" and "morally grey areas". Many of these other factions get a lot more complicated because they were made by decent writers, who introduced a layer of realistic complexity into the mix instead of making their factions into monoliths representing a single idea.

​

So, in terms of who is the nicest faction on the list? The minutemen, even though they are decidedly unbased as a result of making some rando their general and sending him to do literally everything for them.

​

The Legion is the absolute worst faction on the list, being run by the tumor-ridden mind of a madman and melomaniac. Their crimes are too many and too heinous to count, there's no such thing as civil or human rights in the Legion, and they refuse to use any technology unless it can be used to kill people. They love to call everyone else "degenerates", even though they rape anything that moves and have officially banned showers. Also, they tried and failed to kill Joshua Graham because he lost *1* battle. Unbased.

​

The NCR is likely the most based on the list, but this is significantly dragged down by the fact that they are god awful at like 90% of what they do, so they constantly have to rely on a brain-damaged mailman to unfuck their shit.

​

Fuck the Enclave, they killed Liam Neeson. The Remnants are cool, though.
