[@greyxz101]

I was wondering if that would’ve been better (or worse, I guess?) than giving him to the White Glove Society

[@saxpackabs]

I personally think the worst playthrough is to take the Legion playthrough, but then pull the rug out and go independent. That way, the damage is done, but there's no one left in charge. There's great suffering and a huge power vacuum, with no one prepared or able to step in (especially if you blow up the Securitrons under the vault). You basically doom the Mojave to chaos with no solution in sight.

[@ftsquintyd2844]

I feel like the Fallout Tv Show will follow something like that. Especially with what we found later

[@viogo4690]

That's worse for the Mojave, but doesn't have as much impact for the world. Legion winning will cause far more damage in the long run for everyone.

@@viogo4690 it's an interesting thought experiment. What's better. Organised tyranny or complete anarchy? What I remember about Independence is, if you just leave The Fiends, they basically overwhelm Outer Vegas. The Security can protect Vegas, but the Wasteland around it just gets taken over by gangs

[@PraetorHesperus]

Selling Arcade Gannon to Caesar is definitely the worst for Gannon, but wouldn't it be worse overall to let Caesar die so Legate Lanius takes over the legion? As I recall that ending suggests he's even more brutal, and that the legion will ultimately fall apart to infighting without Caesar.

[@marko-gj1uj]

Also that

[@desertdude540]

You can also do Arcade's questline and convince the Remnants to side with the NCR, then go off and start working for Caesar. Arcade's Enclave armor will be recognized by NCR rangers during the retreat and he'll spend the rest of his life imprisoned as a war criminal.

[@kalimatronix]

Not quite the worst ending IMO. For one, Caesar is alive, meaning Legion is much more stable and his vision is conserved. Also, I believe the low karma Yes Man to be much worse. At least the Legion erradicates the Fiends. Leaving them be while blowing up the Securitron army and the Dam ensures maximum anarchy and chaos in the region.

[@viogo4690]

Caesar would be worse for the world. Yes Man low Karma would be worse for the Mojave but theoretically the NCR could return. Plus NCR regions wouldn't be that bad. With Caesar he'll March his armies to NCR making their territory hell. Though Legate would probably be worse.

[@Labyethan]

Dan my man, excellent vid, but wanna talk about some little quirks which you looked over regarding the Boomers & Brotherhood, when it comes to the Legion. Two hidden endings. Boomers; if their loyalty is gained and given to the Legion, their is a secret ending where if you murder Pearl & Loyal (primary leaders) you get this; "The Boomers defended themselves against many attacks from the Legion, but they eventually fell to the Legion's superior numbers. The Legion enslaved the Boomers and erased any memory of their existence from the wasteland." - confirming an eradication and further pain for the Legion. And that the Boomer survivors can't find a way out... Brotherhood; If you decide to destroy the Brotherhood without the bunker, aka, murder till the objective ticks, you unlock this ending; "During the fight for Hoover Dam, the Brotherhood took HELIOS One, inflicting heavy damage on retreating NCR forces, but it was a pyrrhic victory. Once The Strip was secured, Caesar's forces overwhelmed and eventually routed the Brotherhood from HELIOS One and Hidden Valley." - though not as dark, it effectivly robs the Brotherhood of their one chance at actually acheieving their long dream, then forces them into the wilds where their days are numbered.

This video hurts, 10/10

[@shabilioness7240]

You can tell Benny you're gonna help him escape and then tell him something like "oops sorry I changed my mind". Giving hope and taking it away is so much more evil. Also you don't have to kill Raul yourself. You can just leave him there as a prisoner. All alone, no food, no water... slowly rotting alive. Well, um, rotting alive for the second time. Sure, there won't be a sad ending slide... But aside from that it's really cruel if you think about it. Props for selling Arcade to the Legion for this run, his bad ending slide sure is something ☠But there is another evenly evil way for this. You can botcher Caesar's operation and kill him. Lanius takes over after Caesar and I think he's a much more cruel and hotheaded man. He'd probably have more people (both Legion and not) killed, slaved and mutilated. Arguably Legion under Lanius is worse than under Caesar.

"I assure you, you look extremely virile. Can you please put that away ?" -Arcade Gannon at gunpoint by the Courier

[@Coltonh65]

Love your content, Big Dan! You make choices so we don't have to! I should go.

[@Razor7557]

Caesar is the "sensible one" for Legion's standards... if you wanted to go for most evil ending, you should have let him die so that Lanius takes over(It can still be done while selling Arcade to slavery as far as I know, bonus evil points since then you make it an absolutely pointless cruelty towards the guy XD). Now THAT is a bad ending because it pretty much dooms legion to stay as vicious band of murderers, which will fall apart due to infighting in matter of months XD

[@lainamitclaire]

Effectively speaking there is no difference between the two, under Lanius it will just fizzle out and die faster. Lanius might be more brutal but ultimately Caesar lasts longer and is, like Lanius, also an uneducated, brutal savage like the rest of the raiders that form the "Legion."

[@Razor7557]

@@lainamitclaire Caesar is educated though, he was a Follower of the Apocalypse. His interpretation of some concepts like the Hegellian dialectics might not be entirely correct, but he still is at least a well-read guy far above the savages that form majority in the legion. Caesar plans to make New Vegas his capital and make big changes to the Legion if he wins, perhaps some of these could ensure longer stability... although considering he is using Ancient Rome as his basis, likely they would stay fairly savage with practices like slavery and such still allowed. Lanius meanwhile just plans to keep going west slaughtering everything in his way, which is guaranteed doom for the Legion as we can even explain to Lanius himself if we pass the rhetoric checks when going for any non-Legion ending.

[@lainamitclaire]

@Razor7557 No he isn't, he's able to read. That doesn't mean he understands philosophy and the human condition. It means he's able to talk his way to power at best because everyone else around him is fucking stupid. Just because his followers are stupid doesn't mean he's intelligent

[@mappingshaman5280]

​@@lainamitclairecaesar at least has a small degree of civility. He doesn't massacre the followers or the strip like lanius does

[@AtomicBLB]

For that issue you had with Arcade being hostile, I don't know if this would have worked due to his being hostile but at the Lucky 38 you have the option at a terminal to send all your companions to their home locations. Which will be the Lucky 38 if you've told them to go there or their original locations if you have not. Cass will go to the NCR Outpost, Boone will go to Novac, etc.

[@allhandsondik7803]

My preferred way of dealing with Ganon in a legion run is to get him on my side enough to do For Auld Lang Syne, and then have the Remnants fight for the Legion, and ice Ganon. Bonus points if Caesar is dead, then Lanius can take over and never let the Remnants rest trying to kill them, while getting countless Legionaires killed by them.

[@ThatGuyKh1]

You should’ve told Boone that you set him up to kill the wrong person. He gets even angrier and then attacks you. Definitely the evilest way to end the quest

[@mariocolantonio1943]

[spoiler] Missed opportunity to nuke both NCR and legion in lonesome road and killing Daniel and Graham. Worst ending for Veronica is to betray herself BoS, causing FoA casualities for leaving forever BoS way, then knowing what we do to her family. Lily with drug problem, transforming permanently in Leo seems also a very evil choice. Almost every legion quest has worst outcome. Eye for an eye flipping to legion side and killing NCR patrol outside searchlight (but first let private Edward be killed by some radscorpions). Killing Anderson in Westside and flipping water supply issue for NCR also is very depressing (in fact arcade could react very bad to this outcome if follow us). Shame there's no way in vanilla to "reward" st. James and Cook cook to their way to handle rap*ng and kidnapping business, if I can remember correctly. Worst outcome for rex I think is with violet new brain, but dead doggo in front of the king work fine for me. Raul imprisoned forever works too. Ed-e shouldn't be repaired at all, i guess (?). Ruining sharecroppers NCR farm with rad poison is such a evil thing to do (but you have to save some people in the vault, so this is one of that dilemma of killing some to saving more), so killing vault survivors is a brilliant idea, sure very evil, but brilliant 🤣🤣. There's such a variety of wild outcome from your action that at this moment I can't remember all the answer (yeah, poisoning the Mojave with Sierra madre gas seems very evil, but this overwrite all our previous action, so no deal).
