Neither the NCR or the Legion are there to do anything humanitarian, but their patrols won't shy away from killing raiders when they encounter them. The residents of Vault 21 aren't shown except for the three mentioned above. They aren't show working in the casinos or having a quarter on the...

The infrastructure is most valuable part, but strategically is Vegas the best place? Potentially not, if the NCR lets decent commanders run things. Vegas would be right on the border with the NCR. Looking at Google Maps, there are other ways into Vegas than I 15. An army could come from a...

Mr. House if he is anything, its strategic. If he were to ever use the Followers for anything, he would do it on his time, not theirs. Meaning he'd wait till Vegas was secured then do something with them. And if they're willing to compromise with the Garretts, they might be willing to be less...

And what evidence to you use to back this up? What the game shows? Which is nothing. Actual Abq which is larger than Vegas and would have more areas to fortify.

And its pure speculation on my part that House would find a way to make a deal with the Kings and Followers. House has knowledge beyond either of them. Becoming a puppet state to further the goals of the Followers wouldn't be unreasonable to figure. The Garretts are far more destructive than...

Minutemen/BoS cause synths = replicators.

Albuquerque is far larger than Vegas. It would have more places to fortify than Vegas. Other than Vegas being glitzier than Albuquerque, it could be Caesar flapping his dong at the NCR so to speak, putting his capital right on the border. Or, since Abq is larger, it could be like DC and large...

My point is that he could use them. Not to take the US, but stabilize the region enough to get what he needs. The Kings would be easy to bribe with money and resources. The Follower's would be the same, it was easy to get them to work with the Garrets even though they'd get more booze to push...

I agree with this. The Legion can't win a war of attrition against the NCR. Once the NCR sorts things out in Southern California and Baja, it'll be able to send more troops in than the Legion could ever muster. The Southwest isn't populated to begin with, so why would it be after the bombs fell...

The Legion is too unstable to be successful. Other than Vulpes who isn't in the line of succession for the Legion, no one high up seems to be intelligent enough to run the Legion. It'll fracture just because it lacks leadership for the long haul. It'll still be a threat in the short and medium...

The population point. There are 6.8 million people in Arizona today. If you assume 99% of them die when the bombs drop, and the rad poisoning, instability, starvation and so on. That leaves you with 68k when things are all said and done. Southern California has between 23-25 million people, same...

Unfortunately the Bethesda Fallouts are cannon until they go belly up and a new developer takes over and throws them out. But yeah, I'm not a fan of MrMattyPlays because he's such a brown noser. I honestly think he wants to work an Bethesda someday with how much he sucks up to them. He...

I am one of the fans that Bethesda has brought in, and I'm thoroughly disappointed at Fallout 4. I even expected it to be worse than Skyrim when it came to writing and depth, and even Bethesda managed to hit a new low. The game is literally a low budget piece of shit, any decent game studio...

Yes some barbed wire and trenches can stop an army. It stopped well armed armies in the First World War. Trench warfare is why that war drug on for as long as it did. People literally had to fight tooth and nail for each meter they took. They didn't just mow over one another. And Sunshine, the...

There is also a difference between fighting the NCR on the fringe and fighting them on the homefront. The NCR troopers wouldn't care much about Vegas because it's not seen as part of the nation yet. Why care about something that isn't important or part of your identity? The Legion will lose in...

Mr. House with some input from groups like the Follower's of the Apocalypse would be a far better option than the Legion. I'm not saying a full blown democratic republic like the NCR, but something more akin to modern China. Mr. House would be the leader, and the Followers would oversee and...

I had this thought a few days ago when I was walking through the local mall and saw an ad for Fallout 4. I just thought how big the mall I was in would compare to that of a Vault. So I did some math and figured that the minimum square footage for a Vault would be around 501,000 square feet or...

Part of the defensiveness is I'm used to the vast majority of people here just hating Bethesda for its own sake and holding up crap Obsidian did just because it's not Bethesda. I'm not saying I love Bethesda, but they can do things that show some inspiration, the Family shows that. But, they...

So would you prefer that no one at Bethesda ever attempt to add anything to the lore? I'm not saying the hacks like Todd Howard, but the person who wrote the vampire quest? The people that have some capacity to write should have license to so long as it isn't too far outside the realm of...

I could see them exchanging services for food. I kind of assumed they'd trade knowledge for food and whatever else they may need. They'd don't have anything else they're willing to part with, trading knowledge is always something. Also, knowledge is worth more than labor. Accountants make more...
