I think its safe to say that a lot of us here have played NV a bunch of times already, however I want to know what you guys experienced with your game.

Which of the 4 factions did you have fun siding with and why? To me, I've had a lot of fun with the NCR because the missions are all around the Mojave Wasteland. There was always something to do and not a time was wasted with them Also, the amount of bullets you could buy from Contreras and Quartermaster Bardon...damn.

My favorite was Mr.House ending but most fun was the Anarchy one

The New Vegas playthrough that I have enjoyed the most was going the Independent route with Yes Man's aid. In the beginning, I was doing a few favors and gaining points for each faction, going back and fourth between winning their trust and then losing it whenever I helped a rival. Overall, I chose to stay mostly on the side of the NCR until the very end when I just brought out my army of securitrons after the battle of Hoover Dam. There was something just truly satisfying about giving the middle finger to everyone fighting for control over the Mojave.

Huh now it makes me wonder if anybody has done a Caesar's Legion playthrough before

Independent. I think it fit the theme of the Courier being the wild card a lot better. That whole idea of being the messenger and the message makes more sense in that context. The message is hope, tyranny or anarchy and each is measured purely by how the player wishes to express their Courier's views. In a sense, it's actually the most complex Fallout ending we've ever had, because aside from the three faction endings, we also have a fairly open fourth choice.

Personally, I always viewed the Courier as someone trying to unburden themselves and be set free. First, to deliver their package, second being used as a pawn by the various factions, then confronting their past and understanding the impact they have (lonesome road) before ultimately looking toward a future free of all tyrants. It kind of makes sense that the Courier would be for the people considering all of this. They understand the impact and potential they have and (because of Ulysses influence) have come to see both the Legion and NCR as equally flawed in their philosophy. They use their influence to liberate the Wasteland. At least, that's how I like to look at it.

Surprisingly, I found myself leaning towards Caesar's Legion despite the horrors they inflicted to the populace of New Vegas. Perhaps it was more to them being portrayed as Romans that perked my interest as I have always been swayed by the military might of the Roman Empire. Then again, they were invaders and technically in a state of war against the NCR and the various factions across New Vegas - and in war, there are bound to be casualties and innocent would die.

So yes, my first playthrough was done in the name of Caesar.

I'm going to be 100% honest right now and say that I currently have 441 hours into New Vegas and have never gotten to the end because I'm never satisfied with the mods I have installed. The farthest I've gotten is stealing the platinum chip from some vault...

I'd have to say my favourite would have to be my very first play through which was 100% vanilla, it was the first time being introduced to the series and I'd love to go back and do it all over again.

I went with Mr. house all the way and stuck to the main story primarily, but in later playthroughs focused my attention on exploring, and doing side quests.

Probably my most recent playthrough, I had gone for more of a Pseudo-Hero typed character who reacted rationally but still wanted to do good in the world, not to mention he was a Psycho addicted whiskey drinking gunslinger with a bit of dirt on his boots from the good ol' bounty hunting days. Losing good friends can make you go crazy... *wink wink* In the end though i ended up staying independent, for good reasons.

@Woox Woah my friend you roleplay really well! The only time I RP'd that much is on my 2nd playthrough. My character's mother was a Colonel in the NCR, while his father was a Frumentarii. As he was growing up, his parents eventually "left" their factions and taught him all about the good and bad side of the two powers. After their deaths at Boulder City, he decided enough was enough and he vouched for an Independent Vegas.

@guan12 I haven't done a Caesar's Legion playthrough before. Anything I should expect during the playthrough? The main reason why I haven't done it before is because I dont want the whole Mojave after my ass.

I'd probably say my very first playthrough which was on console. I remember at the time I was so into the game and was so in love with everything about it; the characters, the location, the quests and I really wanted to buy a computer so I could mod the heck out of it.

Never really thought about it like that but I guess New Vegas got me into PC gaming.

I enjoyed siding with the NCR the most. I've tried the other factions and I never really found them worthwhile. Something about fighting for a Republic of at least somewhat decent individuals v.s. everyone else seemed much more fulfilling.

I had the most fun with the NCR as a matter of fact. Even though I like to go Yes Man a lot, there's something special about the feeling of importance and solidarity the NCR route gives you.

I haven't actually beaten more than one playthrough because I keep on making a new character but one thing's for sure. Setting luck to 10 and bending all the factions over to insert your long dingus is pretty fun.

While I support the NCR and and mostly do NCR playthroughs - Legion was the most fun because of how evil and twisted you could be   


Destroying the NCR from the inside (Freeing Silus, destroying the monorail, Camp forlorn hope sidequests, etc.) was also hilarious to me
