    If the alternative is that world just playing Mad Max forever, I’m supporting the best chance it has at a halfway decent, stable unified governance/society, warts and all.

      The real alternative is the axed Followers of the Apocalypse questline that would have made an actual independent Vegas that lasted beyond the courier’s lifespan possible.

        to be fair aside from the unavoidable “and some people died during the battle :(” slide, the independent ending that made it to release doesn’t seem all that bad either. i just wish the aesthetics of the independent ending were less “anarchy fuck yeah” and more “the conditions were right for a near autonomous bastion city of the wastes”

            lol

            And no hard feelings, I know NCR ain’t perfect. I’m just a One World (Ideally Communist) Government type guy, why I supported the Empire in Skyrim as well.

              That one is a Sophie’s choice of the Klan vs elf nazi lapdogs. I’d take my chances with the Daedra

                I suppose my headcanon is that maybe one day the Empire can regather it’s strength enough to beat the Dominion in round 2, especially with the help of various magic Hero-kuns

              I literally didn’t even realize that whole empire/nord thing was supposed to be the main quest in skyrim, I ignored it completely and just ran around fighting dragons

                The Civil War questline runs parallel to the main quest, but you need to interact with it in order to kickstart the last part of the main quest.

                You can beat the game without finishing it by getting everyone to do a meeting at the Greybeards’s place to discuss a cease-fire while you do dragonborn shit, which is a neat quest idea, just not executed very well. If you finish the Civil War quest you skip this entirely.
