I really like that, dialogue that is solved by picking the right things to say instead of having a big enough number.

    • Looking back on this again, it's another thing that makes this so great. People expect strong individuals to defeat anyone through strength, yet others are able to neutralize supersoldiers without laying a scratch on them. One of the biggest lines for here was how the weakness of the NCR will be the problem, not what makes them strong. Lanius was infamous for scanning weaknesses like sharks sensing a single drop of weaknesses, yet couldn't see that in his own army. You were able to show them that without ever having a single threat to violence: meekness ≠ weakness

The conversation up to that point was point and counterpoint, but the Courier throws that curveball and catches Lanius off guard, he never expected you to make such a claim.

    • At that point he begin to realize the issues with the campaign. All the points the courier makes edges away at the stone in Lanius’s mind that is the war. When you mention the issues of the NCR, he sees now what may happen should they expand. Conquest can only carry an army so far, sooner or later when there’s no food or supplies to maintain the legion or nation altogether, it will collapse. The Legion is Lanius’s life, and he seems only to better it and protect it through the will of Caesar. So when you pick all of the options correctly, he eventually admits to his desire to keep the legion together, albeit indirectly. And this culminated finally into his eventual “surrender” where he reminds the Mojave that he is not going to be gone forever. Masterpiece, absolute masterpiece

    • Comic Sans Even if that were 100% true, you still cannot deny the content, depth, and story we get in New Vegas, which trumps anything that Bethesda had made for Fallout. Named characters in NV have logical dialogue sequences, in-depth stories to tell, and meaningful interactions for the player. In 4, the dialogue has the verbosity and detail of a children's story, plus occasional _non sequiturs_, a big writing no-no. In NV, there can be dozens of ways to talk to someone, as does real life. In 4 you are granted a meager four dialogue choices. And don't even get me started on the illusions of choice inherent with many FO4 dialogues. FO3 is even worse in terms of optionality; your plot is fixed with no possibility of non canon endings such as joining the Enclave. An RPG needs optionality that the script allows. New Vegas does that better than 3, 4, and the abomination prequel known as 76.

Funny enough, Kreia is also about doing things to strengthen yourself, which you can only do by min-maxing either light or dark. The game doesn't help by giving you promoted classes that are tied to only lightside or darkside characters. Ironically, playing a neutral character in KOTOR 1 is more viable than KOTOR 2.

  • Fallout New Vegas: Lanius can be convinced in a number of ways that the Legion cannot win this day. You can use your high understanding of economics and infrastructure to make him understand that Legion supply lines could not carry a campaign west, and that the NCRs weakness is their greatest strength. You can remind him of history, that the Malpais Legate failed because of the same reasons Lanius was about to fail. The Legions infrastructure can be criticized against him, causing him to fall back to defend his own position within the Legion. If all that fails, if you're honorable you can challenge him to one-on-one combat, making the fight against him slightly easier. If nothing comes together you fight him and several elite Legion soldiers, proving that he truly is the Monster of the East by being fast as a Cazador, hitting like a Deathclaw, all with the tactical mind a Legate needs.

He immediately gets defensive, and goes hostile instantly, which reinforces the idea of him being all about honor, because he sees Retreating as cowardice and he ordered the death of his tribe because they surrendered and lanius saw that as cowardice, and asked Caesar to kill his tribe, Because he's all About HONOR, yeah he's a warrior but he's not stupid. And who or what told you that he decides to quit the attack on The Mojave?, all you do is Delay the inevitable not stop it.

  • Fun Fact: Caesar build his legion based off of Roman Empire knowing it would eventually fail due to growing to large and not being able to control everything. This conversation with Lanius pretty much brings up that problem. If you take the west you will not be able to control the east. Making him realize this he backs down his troops and does not repeat the history that Roman Empire Caesar and (Legion) Caesar pretty much did. Pretty deep meaning if you ask me. Lesson: those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

    • Actually, when talking to Caesar, he points out that he's trying to stop his conquest for a bit at New Vegas by renaming it his capital and stabilizing things to make a legitimate nation. However, he doesn't state how he will do this, so this can be taken as nothing more than wishful thinking on his part.

    • Instead of this savage but smart military leader continuing to smash his forces against the dam and eventually dying, weakening the legion as leaving its leadership uncertain, he saves his remaining forces and develops and stabilizes the legion internally, with a core loyal force to ensure compliance even if he was defeated at the dam A legion victory is a loss to NCR for sure, but the long 15 is just as much, if not more of a choke point as the dam, and far longer. Mojave airport itself would likely hold out for some time, and the legion would bleed. Independent Or House Vegas is far from ideal from the NCR's perspective, but either is a buffer zone against the remaining legion and a trading partner, once they pull themselves together about the defeat. It's arguably even less able to invade NCR in ether route, and in terms of expansion theres nothing stopping NCR from spreading north into Washington and South into Mexico instead of east. Outright annexation is their ideal, of course, allowing them to fortify the dam and even the east side of the Colorado, putting an end to raids, as the legion likely collapses into infighting after not only Cesar but his second in command and at least a few other higher ups all are died or disgraced along with its greatest forces.

    • @@Joesolo13 With House or Independent, some of your actions end up benefitting the NCR anyways, like them investigating and reinforcing their trading if you give the evidence during Cass' personal quest or letting Chief Hanalan off the hook as he then returns to become a popular senator protesting against Kimball and Oliver. With the defeat Kimball's thrown out and replaced with a more competent president if I recall correctly. For me personally I see House as the ending that benefits all three as he has a legitimate plan for the Mojave, Lanius can reinforce the Legion better than Caesar ever did, and the NCR can focus better on the home front.

  • New Vegas endings: House: You helped the only person with a plan for humanity. You might see yourself as a hero for that but House isn't perfect. His "gifts" were ways he can use to spy on settlements and while he has a plan, he doesn't view people as people, just customers that'll buy his products and he'll wipe out any and all threats to his "rule". Legion: you helped a brutal regime rise to power. They enslave and torture but they brought civilization to the wasteland. For all the bad they do, you helped bring a sense of order to the Mojave. NCR: you helped the "good guys" but unlike House they have no plans for humanity's future other than just holding their land. And unlike Legion, nothing really changes for the better as raiders and the fiends are still out there. Independent: you helped a region gain independence from two warring factions. The people who live there love you for it, even removing House is something everyone appreciates. The "best ending" but you made the same mistake as House, relying on a single person (in your case a robot). Everyone says what you did was for the best but they don't know the robot in charge of House's securitrons and tech is a robot that literally cannot say no. Until he reveals that he's downloading a program left by House. One that'll make him more assertive. You now left the fate of New Vegas in the hands of a robot you know nothing about, one that'll stop obeying you eventually. Fallout 4 endings: Minutemen: you're the good guy, loved by all. Railroad: you're the good guy but no one knows what you did. Brotherhood: you're a good guy along with the other soldiers. Institute: you're a good guy even if people don't understand.
