Fallout’s Powerhouse Faction - The NCR | FULL Fallout Lore & Origin Story

The New California Republic are the predominant force within Fallout New Vegas, they are the law and order of the land and have one of the largest armies within America. They are the only ones who can hold back the Legion and push them back from the New Vegas Strip.
But are they the good guys? How did they set themselves up? What is their society like and what is their history with all the other factions of the Wasteland?
Well in todays video we explore the full history and lore of the NCR.

I love the NCR, and the general idea behind west coast Fallout settings - after 200 years, the civilization there is rebuilding, and there are actual nations making their first steps. There's nothing like that in east coast based Fallouts.

[@macdeus2601]

The Black Isle/Obsidian games have really good writing, including actual progression of a big, overarching story from one game to the next. (In Fallout 1, California is pretty much in a state of anarchy, with no real civilization beyond a crude city-state level, but in Fallout 2 and New Vegas, you see how the efforts of the previous game's characters to rebuild civilization are actually progressing, and the world is slowly recovering, providing a sense that the events of each game's story actually meant something.) The Bethesda games... well, they don't. They aren't like that.

[@cowbeanboi412]

The east has their reasons In Fallout 3 we learn that no one actually can do anything because of the lack of clean water And fallout 4 has the excuse of the institute doing it's shenanigans: murdering the cpg, kidnapping, etc

[@KingBrandonm]

@@macdeus2601 My hope is that since Microsoft bought Bethesda and Obsidian, they staff Vault with the writing team from Obsidian and the world building team from Bethesda. Boom. Best of both worlds.

It's just that there are a few inconsistencies like how did the ncr fall when they had other city's and how come shady sands is way smaller and in a completely diffrent location (from what I heard its where the boneyard would be) The main thing that has people saying this is the chalkboard in vault 4 how it says shady sands fell in 2277 (first battle of hoover damm is also that year and new vegas takes place 2281) So either a: it isn't cannon or b: someone fucked up in set design and other inconsistencies can be summed up to lack of resarch It's sad to see cause I really liked the show and other people are calling it dog shit over what could be just a mistake in set design Also now I realised bethesda wouldn't retcon it cause they knew the back lash they would recevie

Thanks for the history of the NCR, definitely a favorite faction of mine. A classic example of a flawed society, meaning well, but taking drastic actions to secure their goals. However, it is in the NCR's reach to to achieve a greater good, albeit only if leadership improves. It is also the fact that they are practically the only faction with both the power and commitment to improve the lives of those within their boarders. Most other factions either lack strength or any moral grounds to do so. Again, much thanks and I hope to see more of your videos in the future. For The Republic.

[@phyrr2]

Can we all give a sincere thanks to the developers and writers of Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas especially? They've given us a timeless game that will constantly be poured over, researched, mudded and revered for time everlasting. I'm not sure you can assign a price to such a game, let alone have such a phenomenon recreated by today's AAA companies. Other similar games (albeit with lower popularity) are oldies too, like Deus Ex and Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. But sadly, the AAAs have no reason to recreate such masterpieces, even if they knew how to, because they're never the most profitable. It's the same thing with cult classic movies that rise to the Top X Best of lists and remain there.

My favourite faction after Followers of the Apocalypse!

[@TheGrayHuntsman]

I love the NCR. They're the best faction in Fallout, I just wish the new gen fallout games would focus on it a bit more. I want to know what happened after New Vegas. Did the NCR canonically win the second battle of hoover dam? Are they going to reconqer the former USA? Are they going to expand into Canada and Mexico? Will there ever be peace between the NCR and the Brotherhood of Steel?

Keep it up brother

... and then Bethesda came around and, without understanding that Fallout is supposed to be a game about important individuals in different periods of NCR's unification of America, moved the franchise to the east coast.

[@mfspectacular]

Different periods of the ncr's unification? Tf? The series was meant to rep how post apocalyptic societies might form, what theyd be like & all that. That aint exclusive the ncr at all. That "unification" is insanity either way, emulating (1 of the 2) the very civilization(s) that gave the series' its' landscape

[@starhalv2427]

@@mfspectacular that's just my interpretation based on NCR being an important faction in Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout:NV

[@mfspectacular]

@@starhalv2427 gotta look at each game individually, with the ncr just being a cog in each one's machine. F1, society's just starting to recuperate after the war (shady sands). F2, the early formations of govts are taking shape (the real beginning of the ncr). New vegas, 2 different govts clash (the ncr & legion). If van buren released it wouldve portrayed the early formations of the legion. Followed by what wouldve been fallout 4, as the vegas area was already planned for that game's setting (many concepts were carried into fnv from both projects)

@@mfspectacular ... and regardless of which period of civilisation's resurgance we saw, NCR was always there. Yes, just as a part of the machine, but definitely one of the most important ones (For example, the entire Legion exists because of a man who used to be an NCR citisen, and the purpose of Legion's existance is also tied to NCR.

21:05 My opinion of the brotherhood, yeet them back to their holes.

Do a vid on the Free Economic Zone of New Vegas next.

Since no else is going to say it I will. The Khans got what was coming to them at bitter springs

[@donalddeluxe6407]

Vault 15 is such a success that it caused the enclave to lose its oil refinery and western coast.

The NCR Is The Power House Of The Mohavachondria

[@freeheeler09]

I’m winding up an NCR play through of New Vegas. I’d have loved the opportunity to rebuild and grow and unite Novak and the other settlements, or not. I’ve killed most of the rad scorpions and raiders, so the roads are safe. My favorite faction, the Kings, is no longer at war with the NCR. There are untapped opportunities in these games for rebuilding a republic, or creating a dictatorship or encouraging anarchy and tribalism.

[@HoneyBadger1779]

Caesar's legion was like 45% of a faction. It's unsustainable and going to completely collapse in on itself as soon as it's autocratic leader dies. I know that they ran out of time, but they could have very easily spliced in some backstory about the actual civilization aspect of Rome and a Senate back home that Caesar was on iffy terms with and that he was the military leader, but not the civil/political leader of an actual functional Roman style state.

[@GrimFaceHunter]

No, that particular aspect of history wasn't included. Caesar made up the whole culture of the legion, and he didn't include those parts.

It a shame we might not see the ncr again
