Caesar

Seeing someone be crucified in the Fallout universe is one thing, the more realistic is worse, but I think being impaled would have been a more terrifying substitute. Edward could have called himself Dracula and spread rumors of him drinking the blood of his enemies. He also could have rocked a crazy mustache.

I imagine this idea has been brought up before, but what do you guys think? It would be even harder to justify his actions. Also everyone would still be switching Ws and Vs like with Latin.

We didn't do much besides the Legion playthrough. We didn't even go to the southwest corner of the map. We just snuck around Black Mountain, got the Ratslayer, sneak attack killed a bunch of NCR and Legion, sneak attack killed the leaders at Camp Forlorn Hope and did the Legion main quests.

We played as Luci, our "daughter" who we played as in Fallout 3. She ended up with Neutral karma but was Good most of the time. Which is partially why the questline was so short, no White Gloves. Taking out the BOS bunker was a pain, but eventually I did. The GRA Chainsaw along with the Combat armor Reinforced from the unique Gauss rifle gang did the trick. Didn't end up even using Lily for help. It was hard, but I did it. Killed everyone in the 2nd half of the bunker, but stealth boyed my way out of the first. Then boom.

I was surprised to see her feel sympathy for Caesar and choose to save his life. Also we sniped Kimball. Tried to snatch his suit the first time but Rangers sniffed me out. Also WOW... I did not expect killing General Oliver to be that difficult. I gave up after trying for half a hour. I did kill him but at level 15 his anti material rifle bodyguard destroyed me along with all the traps. So instead we talked him down.

I know she won't end up siding with Caesar when we play 3 and NV back to back probably for the last time as her character, but her shift in opinion in Caesar makes me wonder if she will choose House over NCR in the end. She does still hate Victor tho, the FOMO.

Now its on to the character roleplays, currently trying to decide everything still but I'm getting closer and its helping me shake off a little bit of my number OCDs.c

I'm thinking of playing the game 4 times due to the issues with large saves which is even worse on my PS3. I had the idea of playing a single DLC per faction leader. I decided on the following but wish to hear your thoughts:

Yes Man - Dead Money

You can make the Brotherhood stronger, let alone keep them and Veronica on your side. Also the Holorifle sounds fun for a more technology based side.

NCR - Honest Hearts

Joshua Graham sees the NCR as the best choice, and since I don't plan on killing him, a Legion run with this DLC sounds silly. Also 45 pistols, survivalist rifle and the desert ranger outfit look good on the NCR side.

House - Old World Blues

Technology again is something more up House's alley, and clearly this DLC is the most high tech. Also 0 hating House would make this more hilarious to me in supporting him rather than killing him.

Caesar - Lonesome Road

Ulysses is/was a great member of Caesar's Legion and I always side with someone who isn't Legion when I play Lonesome Road so I wanna see the differences. Also... I wanna nuke the Legion BEFORE I get the Mark of Caesar so I can look the part in the 87th tribe's armor when I fight for them.

This scenario popped into my head the other night after playing some of Honest Hearts and talking with Graham, and I wanted to hear what some of you all would think. So here's the scenario: Let us say that, some point before the first Battle of Hoover Dam, Joshua Graham (then the current Legate and second in command to Caesar) somehow manages to have Caesar stealthily assassinated and takes leadership of the Legion as its new Caesar.

How do you think Joshua Graham would have led the Legion, do you think he would've been a more able leader than Caesar or Lanius?

We all know that members of the Legion are completely unaware that they’re a copy of the Roman Empire and think that the Legion’s ways where “passed down to Caesar from Mars himself” So what would happen if someone revealed irrefutable proof to them that the Legion’s system has already been tried and failed by the Romans and that they’ve been lied to?

So in your opinion, how far could Caesar's Legion realistically expand, assuming that the Courier heals Caesar during the quest Et Tumor, Brute?, and aids the Legion in its victory at the Second Battle of Hoover Dam? Could the Legion realistically be able to conquer New California, or will it have to expand elsewhere? (or could it do both?)

As you all know the mighty Caesar was up in his years, we took New Vegas, but many men died and ours forces dwindled. CAESAR SALLOW HAS DIED. After a debate and the execution of Legatus Lanius, I take the name of Brutus False-son and declare myself Caesar of the legion. We march for the NCR under peaceful intentions in a week and broker peace, and by this time tomorrow all slaves shall be freed and considered free citizens of the legion. This is not up for discussion! Any whom disagree may leave and go east. That is All. *Lucius grunts then kneels* *vulpes inculta kneels*
