I'm getting tired of people thinking the NCR is a good faction.

[Lord Tony]

The NCR is far from a good faction.

They tax people to death and force people to become wage slaves. Which is basically "legalized slavery"

Also it's no coincidence that the NCR ending is the only ending where goodsprings is a ghost town.

Goodsprings survives monsters, raiders, etc. But they couldn't survive against taxation.

[Vassago Rain]

Very few people think they're a 'good' faction. Falloutscrolls people might, but they're kind of allergic to new Vegas.

Fallout isn't about having 'good' or 'evil.'

[Didjeridingo]

You're right, I always thought being forced to become a breeding sow/pack mule hybrid for the Legion is a much better system.

[Oddball]

No factions is perfect, but the NCR is the best ending in my opinion. At least there are troops patrolling the Mojave, protecting the cities from Raiders and the Legion. No faction is cool or evil, some are just less bad than the others.

House: Hope you live in or around New Vegas proper, 'cause the benevolent dictator is fine leaving everyone else to the NCR, Legion, or whatever else wants 'em.

Legion: Slavery, brainwashing/indoctrination, and genocide are super fun.

NCR: Oh noes, taxes in exchange for protection and basic civic services, what tyranny!

Independent: Chaos yesterday, chaos tomorrow.

If goodsprings becomes a ghost town then it's the worst ending.

That's funny because I don't recall a single NCR trooper protecting the citizens of PRIMM

When you have a war going on, it's hard to put dozen of soldiers in front of each home you know?

House: New Vegas is his domain. He made it clear he's not on a humanitarian mission and by siding with him, you drive both NCR and Legion out of the Mojave.

Legion: They're a militarized autocracy. Caesar understood what caused the Great War and sees the NCR emulating the very society that nearly killed the Earth. He chose to model Ancient Rome because it's a society adapted to surviving harsh conditions.

NCR: Taxes and forced annexation. They're basically the Legion. Less brutal, yes but all they're doing is expanding and draining the every last resource they get their hands on while their home government suffers from rampant corruption. Their society is a dead end.

Independent: Chaos, independence and an uncertain future.

My problem with the NCR is they are not allied 2 the Brotherhood

[Eikku]

mr. House is by far the best choice

[Nadie_j]

NCR isn't good, but Legion is worst.

NCR brought troops into vegas for no reason in the first place, they weren't even aware of the resources they could get with controlling vegas they just wanted to expand

It wasn't until later they found out about the hoover dam.

The brotherhood is a defunct and garbage group of glorified raiders, with no place in the world. They ceased to be relevant by fallout 2. No faction is 'allied' with the brotherhood in new Vegas. Everbody wants them dead.

If you go through a very lengthy process, with very specific objectives, you can argue for a ceasefire and a truce between the NCR and brotherhood, which is the only way the brotherhood gets a somewhat good ending.
