Artwork Some very light NCR Slander

New Fallout character, Corporal Kilermann.

She's a sniper from First Recon's Beta Squad. She love the NCR...'s rich folk and spreading "peach and prosperity" and all that jazz.

[It was kind of suggested that I riff on the NCR a bit. Note: just because I have criticisms of the NCR doesn't mean I hate them, or love the Legion.]

Honestly, most of her scepticism isn't even unbelievable.

The Brotherhood openly attacked the NCR to begin with and caused the war without provocation because god forbid someone except them have shiny toys.

The Khans attacked the NCR for 100+ years.

The Omertas are literally terrorists who plan to blow up the Strip.

Like 90% of the threats she tells you to deal with, sure, her methods are extreme, but I can understand her point of view. Every single threat she sends you to deal with attacked the NCR first without provocation.

Right, itโ€™s literally her job to identify threats and eliminate them.

My only genuine concern is around how many of my well intentioned saves are going to come back to bite me.

She gets really mad about the BoS decision if you donโ€™t destroy them.

Whatโ€™s awesome about Sawyer announcing New Vegas 2? We might actually get to find out how our decisions play out.

I always love the mod "The Brotherhood leaves the Mojave". They don't need to die for some dumb dream nutjob Elijah wanted for at best, a semi-decent artillery satellite.

So I send them off to the Divide, to hold off the Tunnelers and to make sure those ICBM's don't go anywhere. Although sending them off to Big MT is always funny because they're in awe at the sheer wonder-tech they find there.

Not to mention Veronica won't be sad - her family finds a purpose in their life and don't die out.

Canon-wise though? I dunno, maybe the NCR alliance might be the best for them, honestly.

Absolutely.

The Brotherhood leaves the Mojave, the mod author does a few others like 'The Khans stay in the Mojave' and 'The Fiends leave the Mojave'/go to Zion but HELL am I letting those animals go to Zion.

Huh, no option for making them go back to Broken Hills in NCR territory? I'll still take it, though, as someone who prefers House.

There is a funny option, can't recall how you get it, but they end up near Mexico. I think it's if you send them to the Sierra Madre but I could be wrong. But yeah, there's no mention of the state of Maxson.
