Which factions do you think could truly be classified as morally good?

the followers of the apocolypse are the only really good faction. too bad they dont ahve any control over the mojave.

what is morally good is subjective so whether you join the legion or NCR doesnt make the biggest difference you are still giving a massive army control of other people just in different ways.

Normally, every factions in fallout are all f-cked up in their own ways but fonv put the followers as a good Samaritan in this hellhole. They try to tell the player that they are all good and helping. So yes in fonv they can be a good guy.

But may be because they still didn't show the other side to us... Who know ?

They were pretty much the same back in Fallout 1

Morals are a luxury the selfish can't afford, because one must be selfless to compromise or make sacrifices. Most people are selfish therefore without law there is no order.

Each faction has their propaganda, mostly rhetoric if not outright brainwashing. No one is innocent, it just comes down to diplomacy, which are willing to compromise to forget or forgive to establish and maintain peace.

The wild west theme suits the game, because terrorism is just the way of life on no man's land, so don't expect any of the factions to be anything other than survivors.

All factions has a side and some oppositions. So there can't be an all-good one. therefore there will always be people who don't support them. And at some point there will be conflicts and they will have to do 'bad' things in order to solve them :)

In short, there can't be a good faction by the definition. It's just good with people who share their views.

Morality is a subjective concept, technically all of them are moral to an extent depend on your point of view.

Now if you want to talk about ethics the only faction i can see are the follower of the apocalypse, they want to do good but not for theirs own benefits, all other faction are ethicaly wrong.

I would argue Mr. House is pretty good too since his goal is ultimately the advancement of humanity, and I think the ends justify the means in his case.

The Followers of the Apocalypse. They're pretty much the only faction in the series that truly want to help out everybody. They've got a few bad apples in their faction, but even with those bad apples, it's their chosen methodology that's questionable, not the goals themselves.

House only cares about Vegas, not it's people.

Again, "what Dawg said"... LOL

Let's look at this logically shall we -

NCR: Is making a land grab, looking to annexe the Mojave and bring all it's occupants under the NCR umbrella so they can tax them and keep power flowing from the dam to the NCR proper. (Losers)

Legion: They want slaves and land, ultimately threatening the NCR itself. Imperial invaders taking everything by force. After all, they already "conquered" 86 tribes... (Losers)

Mr. House: Wants his Robo-Securitron Army in charge of the Mojave's defence and control, the army that, if the courier co-operates, will be completely under his system's control. A dictatorship by any other name. (Loser)

Great Khans: They don't give a toss as long as they can live free and sell their chems to whoever pays. (Mercenary)

Raiders: Don't give a toss period...! They take what they want, when they want and kill whoever gets in the way. (Losers)

Fiends: Crazy, Psychotic Junkies just out for the next fix and the next kill. (Losers)

Followers: As Dr. Usanagi puts it, "We believe that technology for things like food, water and medicine should be free not hoarded". Good point. Make a donation to them and they are going to use it for, "aid and education" for the poorer parts of the community - social work of a practical nature for the good of the common people. (Winners)

Jus' sayin'.
Cheers,
T

no but he cares about pulling it's people out of the ashes. he has a better plan for rebuilding than the NCR or legion. he may be a dictator but you said it yourself... he doesn't care about the people of vegas so he's only going to use that authority to protect his claim which we see in game. I think he said it best "if you want to see the results of democracies... look out the windows"
