I suppose it's questionable about whether you adhere to the letter or spirit of the codex

#

Exactly lol

I can get behind her brotherhood

Also wasnt caesar succesor supossed to be chosen by a council, that body could be just a proxy

Rather than choosing him

heh I knew the ghoul wouldn't abandon Lucy. Despite her massive fuck up, he still came to rescue her. Also loved that he ignited the legion's civil war big time by lighting their dynamite on fire

copper ocean
#

Still, is it clear whether the Caesar who wrote the note is Sallow or Lanius?

raven stone
#

he will lead his own while respects ceasar

burnt yew
#

Succession in the legion doesnt really matter cause it was only caesar himself who believed in all his pax romana stuff

shrewd lily
#

I could've sworn Boone says something about Ceasar having multiple successors planned

proud sorrel
#

I think Coops Ship of Theseus is a reference to him and the NCR

he did have a power fist

#

As far as i remember when the player sides whit the legion one of the pretorians says that as much as he would be honored someone choosed lanius as a succesor

hehe I did like the fact Maximus and Thaddius are back together. And that last line "UH I think I just started a war" Well duh, you did right. First the guy was going to butcher innocent kids and your best friend, and your "Father figure" showed ya he don't give a crap about ya with how he spoke to ya. Ya did right my boy!

also... that one robot saying house is no longer alive... we see the NCR is pretty much gone, the legion is in the middle of a civil war... And there's so few of them house robots, we saw only 2 of em. Sooo... maybe the lore accurate ending is: the courier kills all the factions? XD

At this rate, Courier's looking like the most laziest Fallout protag known to man.

We need a mention of the courier

# copper ocean And just ran off immediately after?

I wouldn't be surprised. Fallout 1, the vault dweller got exiled and headed out into the wasteland. Fallout 2, dunno what that cannon ending is. Fallout 3, that person supposedly is up in space, fallout 4 if the commonwealth brotherhood ending is the lore accurate one then the minutemen general will also be a paladin and probably just focusing on building more settlements. Sooo the courier just saying "Ya know what, none of yall good" and offing them all then wandering off, wouldn't be too surprising to me lol

Obviously killing ghoul children is horrific, but it shouldn't be a surprise as it's a logical endpoint to their views on "abomination"

Watching the new episode...the Legion (or these two groups of the Legion) have been fighting over a patch of dirt for 15 years
I love the idea of a “Legion civil war” in theory but the show seem adamant on an “Idiocracy” style version of the Post-War world

I can't remember what game it's mentioned in, but isn't it stated that they specifically gloss over none military tech

noble owl

some do actively take it in to properly catelogue and then help normal peeps with safe tech and give it back

And if anything, the ghouls would be the ones claiming technology and the pre war leaders caused the downfall .the same thing the brotherhood thinks.

I do have a theory that all ghouls will turn feral, but the combination of being alone, forced to do horrible things, will turn a normal human insane

Will also turn a ghoul feral faster

The longest lived ghouls we've seen are Desmond Lockhart and Eddie Winters

Both had plans about what goals they were going to/wanted to achieve

I’d like to turn into a ghoul

Which I think lends credence to the must have something to be aiming for to stave off becoming feral

I think it might also be radiation dosage over time, highly concentrated radiation over a short time seems to turn you feral (like we see in Searchlight)

# sturdy sigil I don't understand character writing

Max has been raised after the brotherhood rescued him in a very religious chapter, we don't see what that looks like specifically but we are told this his chapter is abnormally religious.

They are lead by an Elder Cleric, rather than a Scribe or Paladin, and Quintus over season 1 confided and seemed to groom Max (not in a sex way) to be his tool, his paladin.

We see Max conflicted in his Brotherhood ideas, and has looked to the Elder Cleric for guidance (ie during the fight to see whether he would stop it).

Now we see him having to kill a fellow brother for practically nothing, and so Max sees this as a way to protect his chapter. Quintus just gave a speech about how if you're on God's side your righteous and will be victorious.

We then see Quintus dismiss him as a "dim sword" or an idiot, showing that Quintus' doesn't really believe all this righteous god stuff it was just to get the Yosemite Elder on site

Xander then turns up and says "Look we do all the hard work, why aren't we calling the shots? We bleed for the brotherhood, we do all the hard work, why aren't we in charge here?'

He then invites Max to come with him on a buddy trip to show him what a true Brotherhood looks like.

The unfortunate reality is that brotherhood dogma extends to the elimination of all Abominations, even Children, and to Max this is another blow to his perception (which is already wavering within his West Coast viewpoint) that the Brotherhood aren't protectors of the weak and the wasteland

we dont see dead kids either that doesnt mean there arent a metric tonne of kid sized skeletons in reality. every game barring 4 implies they see no problem with killing non ferals they just dont actively make a campaign of it in most of them. 3 literally tells us the lyons led chapter fires at any ghoull leaving the underworld. you can pretty easily infer that means they will kill them

I think NCR is dead in the mojave by desertions (like the season 1 ranger now farmer) and mass deaths either by nuke or raiders or whatever. But its implied that unlike what cooper thinks, the NCR is still alive and well in Dayglow, the Hub, and Maxon despite losing the boneyard and the mojave. Its possible however that these 3 NCR states (remember the NCR in new vegas was 5 states and the mojave was on its way to be the 6th state) are separated from one another.

Yeah Boone would be like 50 now
