The Fallout Thread

[United Ameritania]

the NCR could achieve a pyrrhic victory, mainly given the sheer amount of legionaries swarming NCR positions.

though, couldn't say that House wouldn't swoop on in, and somewhat try to assist the NCR, or maybe just playing the two against eachother.

What would House use?

And besides, the Omertas causing chaos on the Strip would keep him busy.

Devoting some Securitrons, or maybe some auxillary robots he'd have hiding away?

Omertas are all fleshy, rapid 9mm bullets usually does the trick.

[Gloriana Americana]

I think the Legion would have a phyrric victory personally, just barely taking the Dam. That's why taking slaves after is so important, they need to replenish their forces and prepare for the eventual NCR counterattack, unless they plan to take their time and march on the Core.

A Pyrrhic victory for the Legion would be even more disastrous for them than a Pyrrhic victory for the NCR would be for the NCR.

The robots he has hiding away are under Fortification Hill. And without the courier (which is what we're talking about) they wouldn't be accessible.

And still, the chaos on the Strip would still delay any kind of action by House.

Can we all just accept this simple fact: Without the Courier, everybody sucks.

Oh, it certainly would be.

I'm not saying the Legion is done for afterwards. They're likely fucked either way. I'm just talking about the severity, really.

Depends on if he's able to have the Chip activated. No Chip, he's stuck in Vegas trying to keep order.

With the Chip, he can clean out the Omertas with ease. and then use the Securitron army beneath the Fort to strongarm the NCR.

If the courier is dead, Benny gets it. And Benny gets captured by the Legion, and I suppose would be killed.

Pretty much this. The Legion might take the Dam, the NCR might be able to push back, House just straight up can't do anything.

So remember kids: before you try to conquer anything, make sure you have a protagonist with you.

Also, I just thought about this.

Let's say you've got a House aligned Courier. They notice how the machines in the Sierra Madre are the key to a post-scarcity economy.

The Think Tank designed the vending machines. With the Courier clearly having sway over them in the post-DLC credits, he could have them make the machiens produce nearly anything, just give them the designs of anything you'd like and let them update the machines.

Now, take said machines back to Vegas, all nice and updated. Use whatever refuse you've got laying about to produce, oh I don't know, some securitrons or spacecraft parts. Proceed to laugh as Vegas becomes a Utopian society, ala The Culture.

With the Sierra Madre vending machines you don't even need House. Just repeat the system with the NCR or an independent Vegas and it's still a utopia.

Those machines are OP af.

No, House is sad and boring. NCR is cool.

Nope. It's clearly science gone too far. Give it to the Brotherhood.

Oh yes, without a doubt.

Also, in the event of an Independent Vegas, what society would y'all construct?

Personally, I'd simply make Vegas a massively profitable place, uplifting the lives of the average Mojave Wastelander. After that, I'd just fuck around with science for the rest of eternity as I establish space colonies.

Probably something like the Legion in the idea that it's different from the old world ideas that ruined everything but not, ya know, insane.

Benevolent Dictatorship. Courier knows best, after all.

More specifically, I'd turn the Mojave into an actual nation. Every worthwhile location would serve some sort of purpose, while I try to maintain good relations with the NCR. Kick out the Khans, destroy the Brotherhood, provide the Enclave Remnants with amnesty, leave all the settlements (Jacobstown, Novac, Primm, Goodsprings) independent but open trade relations with them and provide them with better protection. Bitter Springs would be a memorial, Nipton would be rebuilt, and Searchlight would be a no-go-zone and also a memorial. Maybe build a memorial for the NCR troopers that died during the Second Battle of Hoover Dam. Open trade routes with the Sorrows and Dead Horses tribals, use technology at Big MT to improve Vegas' standing as a power. Leave the Boomers alone, let the Gun Runners continue to operate and allow Happy Trails to operate in the Mojave while kicking out Crimson Caravan. Probably improve the Dam's defenses in case the Legion comes back. Maybe strip some locations of their tech (Black Mountain, the various factories in Vegas, etc.) and use them to improve Vegas proper.

I'd be fair, just, and all that jazz you know, because I'm not an ass.

So hey, I need to ask something.

Is it normal for Deacon to just not say anything to you in the post game? I beat the game as the Minuteman without doing any Railroad Quests and he says nothing when you talk to him.

Well in that case it's probably normal and he's just packing more sodium chloride than an Ontario salt mine.
