Your Fallout New Vegas decisions (heavy spoilers)

[Holy_Handgrenade]

*WARNING HEAVY SPOILERS*



I created this thread to see what decisions you made in Fallout New Vegas and to see your opinions on any of the factions.

Ceasers Legion- When I first encountered Caesars Legion I saw them as the avarage evil enemy but I took the time to go to Caesars camp and saw that he wants a empire, free of corruption and greed and one that will survive and ensure mankinds survival.I could almost sympathise with him but came to the conclusion he was going about it the wrong way. He also mentioned that he will absorb there enemys culture into their own which made me wonder if they would always give such heavy punishments and keep slaves.

NCR- At first I saw them in the game as the good guys but the further in the game I got I saw them more as a power mongering Nation that is to greedy and tries to capture everything it sets eyes on consequently not protecting there own people. They also try to get you to destroy the brotherhood of steel seeing them as a potential threat and asking you to wipe out there base.

Mr House- I saw him as the all powerfull dictator at first but when I delved deeper I couldn't figure out whether he was doing things for his own incentives or for the good of mankind. He mentions his goals are to carry on scientific research but I was wondering whether this was because he was afraid of dying. Also if you take the route of killing him he will mention that you have just undone some much good that could happen.

Boomers- I found myself helping the boomers and recovering the bomber airplane hoping I would change there mind about the outside world. Now I just regret that I may have armed them to go on a mad killing spree.

Brotherhood of Steel- I joined the brotherhood out of trying to get them on my side as I was takng the wild card quest line and I started to see them as quite dangerous even though They are trying to rediscover technology lost to the world and keep it out of other peoples hands as they won't let anything stand in there way.

My decision in the end was that out of the main alignments I will help the NCR over Legion as even though I thought the structure of legion was better and had more potential and in the end might even be less dangerous to the human race because they weren't corrupt, I couldn't help someone commiting so many unforgivable crimes.

I also thought that I would do a better job then Mr house and who wouldn't love to have that much power. so I decided to take the Strip for myself.

Now I could go on rambling all day but Escapist what choices did you take?

 

[duedmen]

I took the strip for myself convinced lanius to meet me on the field of battle at a future having some of the most epic dialouge ever then with the help of the secruitron mk 2 army "convinced" the NCR to go home and created a strong independent vegas sure there was some suffering for the people but there pain was the skeleton of their children living in a better Mojave

 

[NeedAUserName]

Caesers Legion killed entire innocent towns, crucifying innocent people and toying with their helpless victims, how could you think they were good in anyway?

Edit: Should probably mention I helped the NCR and was aided by the Boomers. Unfortunately I had to kill the BoS as I couldn't get them to ally with me.

 

[gl1koz3]

Ceasers Legion- It's so wrong, I just went to their camp and killed all as soon as I could.

NCR- That's the human spirit. Always helped them (saved president too). Made them go away after the dam fight, though. Had a laugh at how that colonel lady always treated me as her soldier.

Mr House- I went down to see, if he's a human. Turns out, he is. And the fact he's so ever-lasting and with a clear vision and plan makes him the perfect leader.

Boomers- Helped them. These guns will come in handy big time.

Brotherhood of Steel- I got accepted by them, but then I was never fond of them as they're pretty stagnant, when it comes to actually getting the world in order. So I killed them. (Took some rifles, though)

Religious ghouls- Sent them to their maker (to space).

Khans- Killed 'em.

My decision in the end was that Legion is an abomination of slavery and a repetition of learned mistakes 2000 years ago. The NCR should live, as it's big and is quite close to what governments have been previously.

I left Mr House do the work, as he'd live a lot longer than myself and he has too much experience in all this mess and hi-tech to let it go to waste. Also, he's a good thorn in NCRs ass to prevent any more pre-war irrationality.

Also helped the Nightkin.
Didn't care about Kings, House killed 'em, but, anyway.
Raiders... House killed 'em too.

This is what ended up happening in mine... By total accident.

I was trying to aid the NCR, while making sure I had a army of robots to... Well... Aid the NCR, but aparntly thats not possible or if it is I'm too dumb to find the way, so I ended up doing one too many Yes Man quests and ended up getting everyone's panties in a twist.

So in the end I managed to kill all the roving gangs, help all the innocent towns people and drive the NCR and Legion from the Mojave... by total accident, first play throughs are always the worst for me DX

*edit to redem my sorry ass*

So bassicly the phrase of my play through was,

Line em all up, Shoot em all down, and let GOD sort em out!!

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Caesar's Legion

Mass, indiscriminate slaughter, killed every last one of them, teabagged Caesar's dismembered head and drank a Whiskey on his throne.


NCR

Took thier side. Saved president and Dam. I'm thier big hero. But I don't get to enjoy it as I can't keep playing


Mr House

Fried him.


Yes Man

Will do his ending next playthrough

Made peace between NCR and every faction except the Great Khans, because the stupid quest was bugged and broke on me.

 

[AlternatePFG]

Right now I'm helping the NCR, I haven't dealt with the Legion yet. I did manage to make peace between the Brotherhood and the NCR, and the Khans and the NCR.

Almost the same. I had the Khan bug too. I tracked down every family member and thought I had convinced them to not fight for the Legion, but apparently not. Had to kill them all. I didn't like having to do that.

I was working for Mr House for a while, all the while keeping good relations with the NCR. House was hard to figure out, as he's an arrogant prick but did pretty much single-handedly defend Vegas. But when he asked me to wipe out the Brotherhood (whom I had joined), I turned against him and took away his control. I left him alive, though.

I also stormed into Caesar's camp and killed everyone, smashing skulls with "Oh Baby!".

I didn't do much with Yes Man.

I tried to help out the Followers of the Apocalypse at every opportunity, but they didn't get a good ending in my game, because the NCR drove them off (according to the ending montage).

So I ultimately sided with the NCR. Cass fought with me in the final battle and died. I was near death (crippled leg, head, torso), despite my power armor. I'm most upset that the game ends at the same time I get that awesome sword (Blade of the East).

 

[Valkyrie101]

Well, I would very much like to side with the NCR. Game-breaking bug unfortunately renders this impossible.

EDIT: Not any more. For the Republic!

 

[Exterminas]

I sided with House. He put it the best way. "If you want to see the results of democracy, look out of the window."

 

[Olikunmissile]

Lol. I fucked everything up, real good.

Made my independent Vegas, killed House, Threw the NCR officer off the dam, Killed the Khans, all other casinos on the strip, killed Tabitha, aided the Boomers, became a member of the BoS, took revenge with Cass and killed all parties involved, fucked over the followers of the apocalypse.

What else... HRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...

Left the nightkin, Jacobstown fell apart. Killed the leigon's leading general.

Not the best ending I do say!

 

[winstaaan666]

took strip for myself, fucked over everyone else and got the upgraded super army of sercuritron MkII's with crazy weapon upgrades and armour that just wont be damaged, basically just impossible to kill

NCR: killed them, left president to die
Legion: killed them
Mr House: "sterilised" (killed)
Boomers: killed
Khans: killed
White Glove: killed
Bos: got the power armour training, then killed
Followers: killed
Nightkin: killed
Religious Ghouls: killed
Anyone Ive Left Out Here: Killed

 

[mParadox]

All you need to know is that I finished the game being a genocidal bastard. That is all.

[sub][sub]And I feel terrible about that.[/sub][/sub]

 

[Jedoro]

-Wild Card ending
-Killed Caesar with Boone after doing his quest, while I wore Ranger Combat Armor. Gave him an upgraded Sniper Rifle with JSP's and I used the All-American with .223 rounds
-Drove out the NCR, chose wrong dialogue and let President die
-Got the Khans to leave the Mojave
-Got the casinos to all ally with me
-Helped out the Boomers
-Got the BoS to support me
-Wiped out the Powder Gangers
-Helped out Super Mutants
-Killed the Mutants at Black Mountain

Yeah, I helped those whose methods I agreed with, killed those I didn't really like.

 

[kampori]

I don't understand all these posters saying Caesar's Legion is evil. They're not- they are the opposite. They are the only 'good' people in the game. They take the hardass route to get there, sure. But Caesar wants an empire in order to free the country of tyranny and corruption. He does not conquer them just for power, but for an ideal of a unified country/empire. Tyrants? Mr House, Yes Man/you, NCR.

So as you can see- I went Legion route first play-through. So glad I did (I just finished game). The ending was brilliant. Caesar is a genius. And Lanius is sweet.

NCR- I literally can't stand them. They remind me of modern day democracy which is crap to begin with. (and American govt). Kill them every first chance I get. Kill president, kill ambassador, wipe out their embassy, slaughter Camp Golf/McCarran etc. Hate hate hate hate NCR.

Boomers- never realised they were a group, and the obvious bad-guys at the beginning of game. So I killed 'em, and could never be bothered to redeem my rep after that.

BoS- idolized with them. (mainly to get power armour training). But set 'em free, they're now back on track collecting technology and helping the continent.

Black Mountain- killed Tabetha.
Jacobstown- helped Nightkin. Accidentally killed the raiders, which probably f*cked Jacobstown in the future.


This play-through I am going the Mr House route. He seems interesting.

 

[rockyoumonkeys]

Played as good as I could, but a game like this makes it tough to be completely benevolent.

For most of the game I sided with NCR (saved the President as well), until the end when they ordered me to kill the Brotherhood, then I turned on NCR and sided with Yes Man.

Killed Mr. House, though at that point I wasn't yet sure whether I'd side with NCR or Yes Man.

I slaughtered the Legion pretty early on, much sooner than I'd have needed to, so they hated me pretty much the whole game.

Recruited Cass and kept her around, leaving the "kill Cass" mission unfinished.

Got Rex a brain and kept him around as well.

Got the Khans to leave, negotiated peace between the Kings and NCR, helped the Boomers, joined the Brotherhood, helped the Super Mutants in Jacobstown, and got on the good side of most, if not all, of the casinos.

Can't really remember any other major decisions.

 

[ginty2]

still trying to decide right now i am working on the NCR story line and helping house. as a result i stealth killed all the great khans. then went down to the legion's bases and killed every last one of them. the legion was pretty easy, i took them down with a power fist and Mercy. then i got to Caesar and his band of guards. they required my best to kill them, the alien blaster. after all the killing was done i got the chip and let benny go.

since he sent me to kill the brotherhood of steel, my opinion of house has gone down. i am doing his quest line to get the achievement. i figure the NCR will ask something similar from me regarding the BOS but i'm hoping i can talk my way out of that one. even with a new elder, the BOS is pretty contained.

 

[Meggiepants]

Caesar's Legion

Mass, indiscriminate slaughter, killed every last one of them, teabagged Caesar's dismembered head and drank a Whiskey on his throne.

Haha! I must try this!

OT:

Caesar - I play as a female, so really there is nothing Caesar's Legion could say to me to make me side with them. They would enslave me, and since being a slave girl isn't my favorite fantasy, I never side with them.

NCR - they have their own good and bad. They stifle a lot of growth with their overly strict ways, but they keep order. This is plainly seen in their ending, where some towns flourish, and others don't.

Mr. House - I did side with him one playthrough, and I thought it was just going to be bad endings all around, but there is actually a surprisingly sweet side to his ending. You might give it a go just to see it.

Yes Man - My favorite ending, because I get to choose which factions stay, and who goes. I always think to myself, I'll have to get rid of Yes Man eventually, I don't entirely trust him, but I like that he allows you to decide what is best for the wastes, instead of telling you what is best for the wastes.

Yeah, why were they such dicks to the followers and Khans? That pissed me off.

Really?? I must try it now!

I felt there was something sinister going on with him, but was glad to see in the endings that no, he had the Strip's best interests at heart as long as you did.

Which made me wonder why they bothered throwing in that 'I'm becoming more assertive' twist in the final dialogue.

 

[Mr.PlanetEater]

I sided with the NCR, and convinced Lanius that all hope was lost for the Legion and that he should just go kill himself. I'm the hero of the land, but I can't enjoy it because you can't play afterward. D:

So for my second play through I plan to side with Mr. House, then Yes Man, and finally on my fourth play through I intend to side with the Devil's own shit and spread the word of Caesar to the wasteland.
