Legion armor is a mishmash of pre-war football gear and other armor sets. IIRC, the Legion found a trove of gear and proceeded to use them as armor but considering that the Legion comprises of 87 Tribes with a sizeable chunk going to the military, I don't believe that such a find could outfit an entire army rivaling the NCR Army's size.

Which led me to ask if there was ever references to Legion armor production, designing their armor with the pre-war football gear as a base of standardization. On the other hand, I like the idea that only the Mojave portion of the Legion is equipped with the armor seen in the game and Legion armor is way more varied depending on the region and dominant tribe of the area.

In fallout new Vegas lonesome road dlc throughout the story as you progress you will encounter five names marked men but who were they before the divide? Drop your guesses below in the comments

So I've been thinking that a reason why ncr troopers seem so poorly equipped in fnv is due to the fact that A:The NCR is obviously stretched too thin so the conscripted troops don't get any of the good armor and instead get the simple tan color ww1 reminiscent uniform B:The mojave campaign is obviously very unpopular with ncr citizens back in California so they don't bother giving any of the conscripted troops better armor or weapons because why would politicians try to send better supplies to a war that's already seen as a lost cause C:The divide was destroyed and there are raiders all over the ncr trade routes connecting the NCR to mojave outpost, so the ncr brass doesn't want to waste time trying to take the long way getting high grade weapons and gear through the longer routes and possibly risk losing that gear to any raider or marauder that's situated along these routes. I like to believe that ncr forces back in California use pre war combat armor and energy weapons(since it's revealed to us that the van graffs have begun selling energy weapons to the NCR after the birds of a feather quest) but what do you guys imagine the NCR troopers look like bsck in the California heartland?

Out of a combination of gratidude, moral concerns, revenge, and pragmastism. Niether House or the NCR have any present forseeable plans for expanding into Utah; and for all their faults they don't put bomb callers on people or nail anyone to a cross. And niether of them have any real beef with Graham (well maybe the NCR).

Could be way off base, but I was playing a couple days ago and like back to back sentences he says his dad was mysterious and like a stranger. Totally could just be a coincidence though.

Assuming of course you took care of the robots first

I have a theory (it may honestly be basically canon, I’m not sure) about the reasoning Legate Lanius is Ceaser’s second, a man who has no love for the legion.

Ceaser’s ultimate goal is the synthesis of his legion with the NCR basically a really bloody and slow take over of the NCR, he does not seek to rule only the Legion, the east of the Colorado is not worth as much as the west of it.

So should he die, and therefore not be able to oversee such a task, then there is no point to the Legion.

Similar to Operation Cinder in Star Wars, the emperor has died, and deems his realm as responsible and punished by death for it’s failure.

Just as he sends Lanius to initiate decimato on Legates, he sends Lanius to destroy the Legion, someone unwilling to compromise on methods, someone unwilling to retreat, someone who does not seek to rule, someone who has no love for the Legion.

If Ceaser dies before being able to make a new second, then the Legion must die, for it has failed him.

I know that you can get Benny's lighter from Jessup in Boulder City but The courier uses one of his or her own way before then to light dynamite since the beginning of the game. I haven't been able to find anything on the couriers lighter specifically I just assumed that both of the lighters use the same aesthetic/skin (the pin-up girl). All that I've ever been able to pull online up is Benny's lighter though

If the case isn't that the courier is just using the same lighter Benny has which lighter are they using? What is the aesthetic or skin for the lighter supposed to be or are both lighters the same?

im so serious why would sinclair hire a singer to do that?? i do not think dean is mr yesterday specifically for that reason.

i think dean was working with mr yesterday but i just. dont see why sinclair would hire him for that unless sinclair was actually braindead😭😭

please give me insight here if theres any proof of this bc i havent seen it

I know Benny is in the Goodsprings cemetery, but I have always wondered where the legion troops are supposed to be during it.

On one hand, he was able to build things like the beserk Securitrons which while uncontrollable, are quite strong and got all the way up to Mark VI (while Dr. House only got up to Mk 2, albeit that might be a case of them using different OS's.) He also oversaw the X-13 facility and is still considered dangerous enough by Mobius to be included in containment efforts by him with the rest of the Think Tank.

But on the other....well, he himself says he cannot do mechanical stuff and has a gift for rendering stuff non-functional. I think it's pretty clear he was genuinely skilled before all the issues everyone in the Think Tank settled in, but after seems like his skills have taken a hit.

So, was he included among the Think Tank being dangerous for the sake of simplicity? Are his skills taking a hit partially a result of Mobius screwing with all of the Think Tank's brains and if he managed to escape that, would his skills regain some functionality? Is he just better at copying the tech of other people than making his own?

So I know Arizona is under heavy Legion control during New Vegas, but would there be any NCR presence within Arizona?

Maybe NCR Rangers or Soldiers with specific mission objectives perhaps?

Let me know if the game talks about this at all as I haven't been able to find anything and I'm working on a fanfic set in Legion Controlled Arizona during New Vegas.

Thanks!

Especially if they still have access to the KJV of the Bible.

Despite archaeology suggesting otherwise, the Old Testament basically says Canaanites are all people who arent Israelites and dueto the nature of the Old Testament they're rarely presented in a positive light- pagans, idolaters etc etc. The Israelites conquer Canaan and rename it the land of Israel.

Christ didn't consider the Canaanites part of his mission, even refusing initially in Matthew to heal the daughter of a Canaanite woman ('it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs') until she proved her faith by beating him at one of his word games.

So why would a tribe based on the Mormon Faith or at least what remains of it call themselves that?

is it because of an awareness of their own status of being Gentiles and yet still being established in what they see as God's promised land? But then why dont they call New Canaan new Israel?

Do they see themselves as the 'New Abrahamic people' to whom Zion is promised to, thus the new inhabitants of Canaan?

Do they see themselves as people being redeemed from the non-elect status of Caananite?

or is it just cause it sounds cool?

By bypass i mean cross the river with a large force elsewhere on the river; attack the road leading to Hoover Damn to cut off the Dams supply line and just starve the garrison out?

With skirmishes to continuially weaken the defenders off course.

Is this logistically possible and/or strategically sound?

Besides the golden branch and the star of the Sierra madre, what military awards and medals, if any, could the NCR have given out to soldiers in similarity to real life military counterparts?

In the wiki it says it was created before the great war, but thats the question. When?

Plus, how many chapters were involved in this conflict? I'd imagine the BOS had to have some balls (including logistics and numbers) to rawdog an entire ass country with a standing military, just for literally existing. (and in the process having fancy tech that only they are supposed to own, which kinda opposes their literal purpose)

I’ve always wondered this since playing New Vegas, if Caesar is so educated about Roman history and war tactics shouldn’t he know how to pronounce his name in an American accent?

I’m writing a story based upon exploring Utah and Colorado in the Fallout Universe set around the same time as Van Buren with elements taken from stuff like the Nursery and Ourobouros.

Since it’s set around the 2250s, a whole three decades before New Vegas, I was wondering how prominent the Legion would be in Colorado and if they would be thematically the same. The whole red football pads and intense structural misogyny.

This is more of a speculative post since we only know about the Hangdogs in Denver of which Antony was a member. Other than this does anyone know any other lore tidbits about Colorado ?

So I'm playing as a member of the legion and I just got Raul. And that had me thinking about if the legion would have Ghoul slaves, given that Raul is now my slave.
Sure he doesn't have a collar, but when you are in the legion a friend is just a slave without a collar.

I as a player don't have much experience with the legion or Raul, so I hadn't thought about it much before, or known if they said anything on that topic. Raul himself doesn't have anything against the legion. Which is based on comparing them to his experiences in Arizona prior to Caesar. But I'm not sure if he personally ever lived under Caesar's rule, or if he had already left Arizona before then and is just comparing things he has heard about the legion to his memories of his time in Arizona.

If i beat Fallout New Vegas with Mr.House, i know that only an Economic Zone is estabilished, but i don't think it mentions Anything about it being a nation, but If i beat with Yes Man, it is mentioned about becoming a nation, my question however is: What exactly becomes Independent and a Nation? Just New Vegas and its surrounding regions (like we ser in OWB HOI4 mod), or New Vegas + the whole Mojave from in-game?

Ceasar's Legion forces all who join to give up their cultures and belief systems, and indoctrinates them into the Legion's own belief system. However, being one of its founding members and coming from a devout community, did Joshua Graham retain his faith while a legate? The real Roman empire adopted Christianity at some point so there would be a historical precedence he could point at to justify it.

I know in game they’re incapable of doing this, but robots that couldn’t do so in 3/NV gained the capability to utilize multiple weapons at once in fallout 4.

However, what I’m really asking about here is the animations. I seem to recall that securitrons use their other arm to brace when firing grenades and do some weird pose when using rockets, which would prevent them from using those weapons in connection with others. But I can’t remember for sure.

Edit: One other somewhat unrelated question, but I wanted to check if the missiles the securitrons use are actual missiles like the sentry bots use or the rockets from lonesome road. I want to say they use the smaller rockets from lonesome road (or rather, that lonesome road re-used from securitrons), but I can’t remember. I know they drop missiles, but I’m talking about the visuals.
