Forum:Do you feel the NCR were focussed on far too much with other factions (incl. Legion) lacking in story, quests and locations?

For my point, just look at the locations list. Personally this disappointed me more than anything, with a much longer and satisfying game experience granted only if you sided with the NCR. There is a lot of untapped potential in the Legion and I feel like they were added in a last minute rush. This is just my opinion, what do you think about this? --Cartman! 21:04, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

I think its mainly because the NCR were in the Second game, and therefore had a lot more to work with. The NCR had more history, and the Legion were thought up for Van Buren, so much of what they are now is resources (well, Idea resources) reconditioned to work in New Vegas.

The Reason of them being in Fallout 2 is why I have a soft spot for the NCR. 5t3v0 00:37, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

They tried their hardest to make them hard to love though and it works well. --78.148.245.10 01:23, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

That was me sorry. --Cartman! 01:24, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

I certainly feel that siding with the NCR was the most 'easy' option. Right from the begining they seem to be shoving quests at you, and everywhere you go seems to be (well mostly) Pro-NCR. It seemed to make it alot harder to get close with the Legion because for the most part they're quite hard to get to early on in the game. I'm guessing NCR was the favorite creation from older games and it's clear the designers put in alot of effort to create them and build their story. Never know, maybe in the next Fallout Legion will have a bigger part, somehow..
 * I don't agree, is very easy to piss on the NCR and A LOT of people complain of them. They have the most questions because their presence in the Mojave are massive, but I didn't got your impression of them (I agree concerned the Legion, but they were created to be the vilans, wich is a shame).

I'm playing my legion game now, and I can't believe how few quests they have, its a joke. The NCR and the Legion should have been equally prepared for this game. I also think they could have had more camps, the NCR is too dominate in this game, the Brotherhood is WAY overlooked, the strip families are talked about as if they are important, but really they have very little to do with the game. I only have one more faction to side with after my current game, the NCR, but I atleast i'll have plenty to do.Pappy002 08:07, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

It's not so much that the NCR dominated the game, after all the Mojave was (before I came) NCR territory and naturally there would be more NCR oriented action than any other factions. The problem is that there was no sense of time passing and a dynamic ballance of the legion moving into NCR territory - If you went to Nipton right away or after 3 months you encountered the still smouldering ruins and could encounter the same person coming out of the town hall. There should have been a sense of time passing and action going on in the Mojave besides that done by the courier. It was supposed to be a powder-keg with many factions jockeying for position before the second Battle of Hoover Dam, instead it felt like a static environment being upset by the actions of the courier. If the Mojave had been more dynamic it would have required more missions for factions other than the NCR, but static as it was the NCR dominated the region until the end.75.67.224.12 03:38, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

From a story standpoint, it makes sense there would be a heavy NCR presence in the Mojave. Mr. House is a lot more concerned with New Vegas than the desert, the Brotherhood are shut-ins as well as the Boomers, and the Legion have occupied the fortress in their territory. Naturally, the NCR would take the rest of the desert with little opposition. From a gameplay standpoint, yes, they are overplayed. The developers could have put more work into quests that would show the Legion's gradual takeover of the Mojave or House's influence starting to spread outside of Vegas and just like the above contributor said, they could have worked it to be more dynamic. I suppose, like most here have said, the NCR were glorified because they are a fan favorite (personally I hate them) and the Legion was a half-worked on idea from Van Buren. House, I assume, was created during the development of New Vegas so that was just plain laziness on their part. Hopefully, with Honest Hearts, we can see more of the Legion and have some better texture to them. Thedarkscythe 07:43, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

It just sucks that the Legion gets like three locations while the NCR has dozens. Why side with the legion when your making an enemy of the entire mojave,not to mention you lose followers by joining thr legion but you don't if you side with NCR --Ramallah 14:09, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

The lack of a pro-Legion follower was quite disappointing in my eyes considering how you can't even recruit many of them if you're Legion accepted, and no Raul doesn't count. --Cartman! 04:20, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

I agree that New Vegas is about the NCR. I think some extra quests should have been offered to the player who chooses to have bad karma. Maybe some bad/evil quests from MotorRunner, Tabitha or other baddies to help you down the road to evil. Squalor 15:05, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

I agree about fiends should have had some quests, maybe work with the legion in the heart of NCR territory. If you want a companion while working with the legion, there's always Raul.Pappy002 21:38, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

Ha, I wonder what Karl would write in his little journal about the Fiends ? I guess what I'm trying to say is ,,, karma doesn't seem to count for much. Makes me want to steal something or go look down Julie Farkas' blouse. Squalor 15:05, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
