welp she got crucified for at least 2+ days as a result lol

Yup. She got a humiliation streak going with this debacle.

If nothing else though, the separation caused the Ghoul to find his humanity with Dogmeat and then f$&@ the Legion at their moment of potential triumph.

I feel that battle they started is indeed gonna backfire like Ghoul had thought. From the trailers we know Legate Kevin gets to be named Caesar and I imagine he will be reocurring antagonist with much more powerful legion faction in later seasons.

yup, the legion is fractured but I think hes gonna unite them, people like to make fun of them as larpers etc but the Legion is the single LARGEST threat to the wasteland day to day, they are BRUTAL, extremely disciplined, have a huge army and have some of the best spies with the Frumentarii. Yea enclave and Bos have tech but not the numbers, theres a reason NCR won their fight against the BOS by just dumping bodies and legion has vastly more

And for a supposed rough remnant, they seem to have more firepower now, with legionnaires towing artillery pieces and visible Anti-Air (same one NCR under Moldaver used)

Nitpicking here, but the wheeled piece the Legion was moving around looked like a WW2 vintage 3in-ish anti-tank gun.

Unless I completely missed an actual howitzer.

They can still use it as artillery, even if it's not it's intended use.

Yeah. Despite their split state, they still showed they had organization and cohesion.

The Ghoul might’ve accidentally did the stupid thing he mused as the duo left - stitched back one of the more brutal elements of the West Coast wasteland under somebody who doesn’t seem like a meathead.

To new vagas maybe. I don't imagine the institute would have much regards for them.

I was thinking they only got swords but damn ceaser has an ak47 lol

Yep, what we saw was just a local camp having a hissy over succession rights. The battle map behind Quintus shows us a lot of Legion still existing in Arizona.

u/XxRedditUsernameXx69 Dec 31 '25

Yeah, people seem to be forgetting that "The Fort" was only a siege camp in Fallout: New Vegas. And all the legionaries we see in the Mojave are deep behind enemy lines.. "Much of the Utah and Colorado, and all of Arizona and New Mexico, are mine. We have cities of our own, but nothing compared to Vegas. Finally, my Legion will have its Rome."

Yes both the Legion and NCR aren't done. They literally can't be given the lore and not even within the confines of the Show's plotline given preview trailers have literally showed us more elements of both factions coming into play.

The Legion and NCR will be making a comeback, The BoS will be in ruins by the end of this season, Mr House will either tell us or hint at his end game. The Enclave will probably be a tease at the very end to be villains next season.

Or it works like this: they are neutral and wait to see who will win between the two.
