If i do the Booted quest will the legion hate me?

[stupid invertebrate dog]

Just trying to not get on the bad side of the legion wheter or not they are terrible

[Vassago Rain]

No, but lowers rep with them.

[MaximumEffort]

Just means more canon fodder!

That quest will only lower your reputation with them. Quests have different values attributed to faction rep. Small ones like that won't hut too bad, but therer will come a point where no matter what you do, someone will get pissed off. I like to do a chunk of quests before encountering Benny (spoilers ahead) at the Tops Casino, and then use Caesar's mark to rebuke my allignment with the Legion.

At least for me, I can just walk up to the camp, free the prisoners, and walk away. No Legion reputation loss as far as I'm aware; not even the soilders at the camp turn hostile. Just don't go with Boone (and that might not even make a difference for all I know).

EDIT: Though, come to think of it, I usually choose the dialogue option with Vulpes that gives a small amount of Legion fame, so even that little bit of positive rep might make enough of a difference that Booted cancels it out and you end up neutral.

It will make a difference. Boone has no restraint when it comes to the Legion, he hates them with a passion. If he gets close enough, he will open fire. Plus doing the Booted quest with him adds some points towards unlocking his personal quest, so it's a good idea to have him tag along for that quest anyway.

stealth kill the legionaries that stand around the powder gangers with a silenced weapon then free them, no rep loss whatsoever, just make sure you arent seen by any legion while you free them

I've never had much luck with that. I always snipe the guards from a grassy knoll some distance away from the camp, but I always seem to take a reputation hit anyway.

[EnclaveEyebot]

I'm pretty sure you will take a reputation hit stealth killing them too. I;ve seen taht in game, doesn't make total sense, might be a game mechaninc to punish you for actions even if you are hidden. Could prevent the abuse of the relatively lenient stealth mechanic in that particular instance.

You take a rep hit for completing the quest, but you can stealth-kill them without negative consequences. You can do almost all anti-Legion quests and still remain idolized by them.

Both the Legion and NCR have a one time forgiveness related to the story. So you can go on a bunch of killing sprees and still work for the faction. Pertty much once you meet Mr. House the game goes into act two and you have a second chance with the two factions.

I tested this out; I shot the two guards standing by the gangers with a silenced sniper rifle, none of the sleeping legionaries woke up, I set the gangers free, ran off, then ran back none of the legionaries became hostile, also I didn't get any message about gaining legion infamy.
