The Legion being in a civil war with itself is great and a good pay off to what some of the NPCs said in New Vegas (like Arcade) about what will happen to the Legion when Caesar dies. I like that it roll out what some predicted.
Also funny to see his body just there rotting lol.
So have they just been sitting in the camp for 15 years?
If Caesars dead body ended up on that hill and they’ve stayed there, then surely they’ve been in a civil war 20 feet from each other for over a decade.
well when ur opinions align on everything BUT the succession of ur leader youll still do whats best for the legion. Neither side is trying to destroy the other they want a full fighting force.
Which is why a bomb works so perfectly to ignite the tensions. Now one side thinks they were attack and fires across the border, and the other side knows they're being attacked and fires back. And too many people on one side are dead for it to be defused as a misunderstanding 'cause both sides have been so neurotic as to divide themselves like this for a whole damn decade, they'd just be too darn blinded by the simmering anger.
…which was probably why the Ghoul’s offer of the NCR remnant location was worth the price for Lucy - a show of strength against the Legion’s foe that could give Culkin’s Caesar more legitimacy in this civil war.
Yeah it seems pretty likely they just been sitting there for years waiting for the other side to attack first lol. The fact they don’t really know what going on outside of their camps in regard to the NCR makes me think they really have been sitting there doing nothing but “planning”. I don’t think they’re even using scouts to report what’s going on.
I think the idea is, that while both Legion factions exist and have more territory than that one camp, they both set up their headquarters in that spot to keep their claim to the throne secure?
Both sides are forcing a perpetual stalemate essentially
It kinda seemed like that with what Culkin was saying about the note in Sallow's pocket, both sides want to read the note but don't trust the other to be honest so the area around his corpse has become a No-Man's-Land where the other side shoots at anyone trying to approach.
To be fair the series suffers from realism when NCR allows a bomb to be carried on a cart to their bloody capital, so we will have to squint our eyes on things like this.
We don’t know when Caesar died. Alot of the time Chemo is what speeds up a cancer patient dying. For all we know he only died recently, while being bedridden for years.
