Supporting the NCR???
Anybody have any idea how you convince the followers to support the NCR? I have no idea, and I want that happy ending!!!! DagonTheranis 23:18, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

The Followers are Christian?
The page currently says the Followers "appear to be all that remain of Christianity". It's been a while since I played FO1, but I don't remember any reference to Christianity in any dialogue or texts, nor does there seem to be any reference in New Vegas. I think they were called pseudo-religious at one point, but this was also used for the Brotherhood, and reflected their somewhat cultish devotion to preserving knowledge. I'm guessing this misconception comes from their symbol, which is indeed a cross, but I've always been under the impression that that just happened to be on the outside wall of their library, and so became their symbol by default. Unless anyone can come up for a justification beyond the Followers' Cross, I'm recommending we delete this from the article. 184.78.207.117 03:12, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

They traveled to the Mojave to teach farming and medicine to people just like christian missionaries, does that not mean anything? They seem closer to a religious group then anyone else Ive seen. - Bot
 * They have their own religion. They never mention Jesus or the Bible. Now the Abbey of the Road, on the other hand, is probably Christian because they do study and quote the Bible, but they're the only organization I can think of in the Fallout universe that can be considered Christian. However, they could also be Jewish or some new post-War Bible-based religion; it's hard to tell due to Marcella's secrecy about the Abbey. -- 21:56, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * The Followers are not religious. They are secular humanists. Just talk to Nicole in Fallout 1. Ausir(talk) 21:58, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * If they are not religious then why is their symbol a cross? I'm not really arguing with you, I'm just wondering.


 * Ahem* "Secular Humanism, alternatively known as Humanism (often with a capital H to distinguish it from other forms of humanism), is a secular philosophy that espouses human reason, ethics, and justice, and the search for human fulfillment. It specifically rejects religious dogma, supernaturalism, pseudoscience or superstition as the basis of morality and decision-making." NO they are not christians otherwise they would be "christian humanists" and not "secular humanists"


 * Question: does Nicole specifically say they are secular humanist? Otherwise it should probably just read that they're secular. Secular humanism implies an entire ideology, one that seems rather anachronistic for the Fallout setting (especially re: the 50s aesthetic Fallout is based on). The Followers are a secular group, that is to say, not specifically in favour of any particular religious establishment. But secular humanism is a specific creed, which is consciously against all religious establishments. Basically: 'secular' and 'secular humanist' mean very different things. If the Followers are not explicitly described as 'secular humanist', then the article here should only describe them as 'secular'. 220.239.193.130 11:20, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

Delete the internal link

Another possible ending
I joined them on their invitation, did them some favors and ended up with a very high reputation with them, and then went on to the independent Vegas ending with Yes Man, the least violent variety (i.e. the NCR troops were just told to buzz off and the General was not tossed from the dam). In the final wrap-up, it said that the Followers continued to try to serve the people in the way they had before, but without a steady source of supply, the Old Mormon fort became overwhelmed by refugees and they went downhill. It seemed rather odd, since the Followers have a socially positive role and I have no idea why I or Yes Man wouldn't front them the relatively modest amount of supplies they would need to keep functioning properly.

 * It even says this when you have secured them a steady source of supply, from the Atomic Wrangler and its owners for instance. Someone screwed up here. But since as this page notes, the bugged ending from Fallout 1 hasn't been corrected yet, I suppose we will just have to put up with it. Wunengzi 21:57, January 30, 2011 (UTC)
