legion vs. ncr

[Kedi Yavru]

what are the pros and cons?

[Curious Incubus]

NCR - Bureaucratic and overburdened, built upon the ideologies of the old world, whom takes what they want with little consideration for citizens outlying the California region. For their protection, comes the price of heavy taxation and procedural conduct, but will allow for the luxuries that one would expect from before the Great War.

Caesar's Legion - Functions like the Mongolian Horde, a massive amalgamation of conquered tribes, not entirely assimilated into the centralized ideology that their leader beholds. Hierarchy of strength, intolerance for those deemed unworthy by Caesar, and bound to slide into ruin once their leader dies. Their rule comes slavery, mysogony, and bloodlines, but with a much, much more civilized wasteland, free of raiders and the drug abuse that enveloped the Mojave.

does one have better armor/weapons than the other. from what you wrote, it sounds as though the legion would be the faction with the advantage, although I could be mistaken

The Legion is lead only by the most experienced of their foot soldiers, bar Caesar. Their regular foot soldiers are unable to formulate tactics without their chain of command. This is why the NCR and the Legion are at a stalemate rather than just driving the NCR out of the Mojave.

The NCR and Legion are closely matched in terms of gear, but if you make enemies with the Legion, their assassins are equipped with some of the most valuable equipment in the game.

Go with the legion

why

Legion has better weapons(in terms of npcs)
NCR has better armor.
NCR is supposedly the good guy in this scenario but they're both bad in their ways.
I went with the NCR because they had a few kind people. The Legion makes me sick so I just blow them up with my fat man every time I see them.
Of course you can rule New Vegas alone if you side with Yes Man, but that's not the life of a courier so I didn't side with him.

The point in the game is you make your own choice

If you're looking at things purely from a "what can I get" standpoint, pissing off the Legion gives you hordes of assassins to mow down, and they drop some very valuable weapons.

Caesar pays very well, but has few quests until you've met him in person. The last couple missions on the Caesar path are pretty big, far eclipsing things the NCR wants you to do.

NCR pays terribly, if at all, but has lots of tiny quests and jobs all over the place.

In any given battle legion vs NCR, the NCR loses. They can't really stand up to them.

Legion anytime
Ave, True to Caesar.
