    At least one of those groups actively caused it or at least knew it was coming.

    So for them it was more about turning every other ideology into ash so they’d be all that was left…

    Caesar is actually described as having a “neutral” karma. He doesn’t think he is evil, since people he gets killed are all barbarians anyway. Let’s say he just favor order above all.
    I mean, sure, the legion is portrayed as the bad guys and the game don’t give you that many occasions to get to know them, but if you search for some lore about Caesar, the legion can look like a valid option without playing an evil/bad karma character, just like any other faction.
    Also, Nipton had it coming anyway.

      counter argument, get crucified you degenerate. Or become a slave.

        Yeah? What about the NCRCF fiasco? Not only the NCR is doing their own brand of slavery, but they fail at it so hard it created a brand new raider faction - with dynamite. Caesar’s legion is at least competent in managing slavery.

          So your problem with the NCR is that they are only “enslaving” criminals instead of 50% of the population while crucifying the rest?

            It’s that they gave weapons to criminals and allowed them to organize. Doing so, they caused more harm than good, which would have never happened with the Legion’s methods.

              Doing so, they caused more harm than good

              which is that instead of having the powder gangers threaten a few people, they should have crucified the powder gangers, enslaved or crucified the people that they’re threatening, and burnt the places the people are living in to the ground, because that’s less harm?

                Yes, because the profligates usually have the option to surrender and join the legion. Those who are fit for combat can become legionaries, they don’t necessarily end up crucified or enslaved.

                  what if… hear me out… people would prefer to give a few bucks to some idiots with dynamite to being enslaved, being forced into combat or being crucified.
