>was shown throughout NV that the NCR are being spread thin
>most outposts could not secure supplies for months
>collapse was inevitable unless players did something
So why did NV fans get mad that the TV portrayed them as they should be portrayed? especially when the show obviously won't go for the NCR route?
>>
or how Marcus said the Legion only follows Caesar, not the Legion's principles, therefore its collapse and infighting was inevitable in a few decades

crazy how much newfaggotry the show exposes
>>
>>731057265
>as they should be portrayed?

Getting nuked once and turning to dust on the wind?

You're forgetting the key context from the terminal entries in Camp McCarran. The ones from General Oliver's attache state that post Dam victory, the supply lines were being massively consolidated via Crimson Caravan contractors, basically solving the spread thin problem within a year. It's a really easy detail to miss, but it totally reframes the NCR's stability. The show just ignored it.
>>
>>731057347
thats usually what happens when you get nuked. yes.
>>731057349
if you played the whole game, you would know that's not even enough to fix their problem. their gold reserves are gone. their money is no good. they can't even handle raiders until the player walks up to them and handles it for them. the whole game frames you the player as the one who helps fix the NCR. if you didn't do that, their downfall was inevitable and that's obviously what happened in the show since it's definitely NOT going for the NCR ending and let's be honest who would choose the NCR ending over anything else?
>>
So far the TV show has done a good job of portraying all factions as being fucking retarded in some way.

>especially when the show obviously won't go for the NCR route?
The show seems to follow a canon where the player never existed or didn't 100% the game. For example, death claws in NV would mean neither NCR or Legion took over Vegas while House never gets killed or gets security bot upgrades.

>NCR can happily sacrifice a thousand soldiers a year, every year they've been in the Mojave (almost a decade) and still put up a fight against the Legion
>the "supply line" issues are literally only because Oliver is taking everything for Hoover Dam and letting everything else rot on the vine
>this somehow means NCR is going to totally collapse the moment Shady Sands gets nuked

People really out here pretending it would ever make sense for a nation of near a million people to fucking vanish into the wasteland when a single city gets blown up
>>
>>731057265
theres a subset of autistic nation building trannies that think Fallout is Hoi4. They think the entire setting should be post-post-apoc (an utterly moronic term) and that it should be about nation states and statesman politics because they are 20th century politics obsessed map painter troon polspergs

gee anon did you really think that through properly?

>>731057517
Japan got nuked twice, even in the setting, and didn't disappear. The NCR was bigger than Japan
>>
>>731057604
or maybe because thats literally what fucking happens once consolidated tribes turn into nations, you fucking retard.
>>
The real reason why people are mad is because the West Coast civilizations were showing there could be recovery after the Great War, but Bethesda's East Coast factions were still stuck in Mad Max apocalypse mode or worse in theme park MMO town mode, so naturally all of the progress made on the West Coast had to be erased so the true Fallout status quo could be reestablished.
And then there's the obsession with the Brotherhood of Steel, who are nothing more than an excuse to how power armor users that look good on box arts or posters.
>>
>>731057534
i believe the deathclaws came in relatively recently when bartender was talking to the ghoul, as in way after the conclusion of the game. house is physically dead we know this because his arm is hanging from his pod in the credits. high chance the show went with Yes-man's ending because it is essentially a "do whatever you want" ending
>>
>>731057604
>post-post-apoc

this is the first time i've seen that term, but that's basically been the series since fallout 2
>>
>>731057638
yeah dude all the other cities just MAGICALLY disappeared from relevance alongside the big army... dumbass.

>>731057517
>their money is no good
not even close to being true.
>can't handle raiders
the small overtaxed detachment in the MOJAVE can't handle all raiders, is what you mean.
You the player can't even wipe out all raiders.
YOU cannot handle all of the raiders.
>you the player fix the NCR, the entire NCR!
and thats strike 3.
you don't fix the NCR you stupid tourist.
You fix a few minor issues and a few major immediate issues at best.
The damn not being held by the legion is the biggest immediate issue for them.
Vegas acting as a friendly-enough buffer will help deal with even more of their issues, and having it (and the army) under their control would help things even further.

Fuck off from this website, retard who didn't play the game.
>>
>>731057645
are you serious right now anon? you're gonna compare NCR to Japan? okay lets see NCR vs Japan
>population: ~700k vs 72 million (1945)
>city that got nuked: shady sands (capital) vs hiroshima and nagasaki (tokyo not nuked)

come on anon

We'll never know.

so why are you trying to compare the entire population of japan with the population of ONE of the NCRs multiple cities?
Why are you being so stupid, tourist?
Perhaps the problem is that you don't know anything about the setting, and are just here to shill your shitshow

already dilating, huh? the securing the mojave is an important campaign for president kimball. "small detachment" makes no fucking sense retard.
>and that's strike 3.you don't fix the NCR you stupid tourist
yes you do you fucking retard. the NCR are pouring resources into maintaining a fucking stalemate and they cant even get people in the mojave to use their shit money. also, kill yourself with your reddit spacing you faggot redditor
>>
What do they eat, or rather, what's keeping them fed enough to keep them from just strolling into Freeside next door for a feast?
Do the Freeside citizens just ritually sacrifice people to keep the Deathclaws from wondering to Freeside to look for food?

>>731057980
>so why are you trying to compare the entire population of japan with the population of ONE of the NCRs multiple cities?
YOU >>731057645 were comparing the NCR to Japan you fucking retard. NCR got nuked in the CAPITAL, Japan didnt. why the fuck is this hard for you?
>>
>>731058235
>"You compared two countries, so whats wrong with ME comparing a single city with an entire country?"
Holy shit its a retarded pajeet
Fuck off and learn english if you are too stupid to understand the difference between a city and a nation made of multiple cities
Stupid pajeeeeeet exposed himself lmao

nation states didn't develop out of tribes for thousands of years you actual retarded autistic nigger.

listen, rajesh. i wasnt the one comparing ONE CAPITAL to JAPAN. that was YOU>>731057645
>the NCR was bigger than Japan
THATS YOU RAJESH. YOU. let me put this into indian poo words for you okay? NCR go away because big city where lord vishnu live is boom boom okay? no more vishnu. Japan not gone because big city where mighty emperor hirohito live, no boom boom okay?
>>731058332
not the point of comparison and I made sure to bring up that Japan was rebuilt by the US unlike the NCR which was left to die by Hank, not like he could do anything. not to mention the US WARNED people in Tokyo that they would bomb the city giving people time to at least evacuate unlike the surprise nuke on Shady Sands. Hirohito himself was always in away from bombed epicenters
>>
>>731057645
Japan doesnt exist in a post apoc world you idiot NV tard
>>
>>731058563
well first of all, fuck you

second, even if i was lying it doesn't change the fact that
>that's basically been the series since fallout 2
>>
>>731058618
hey stupid tourist.
nation states developed out of smaller tribes within hundreds of years.
in fallout they ALREADY developed into nation states.
thats what the NCR and legion are.
newly developed nation states that are gearing up for a major war while internal issues brew.
That is the setting for fallout new vegas.
You are so retarded and new you don't even KNOW that?
You literally know nothing about the setting lmao

you stupid pajeet lmao
america issued vague warnings about the ATOMIC bombs.
not the firebombing they conducted to every OTHER major city (with the exception of Kyoto) before then.
You are a retarded pajeet trying to rely on gemini and you can't even get irrelevant history correct HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA
>>
>>731058745
>retard that thinks post-post is an intelligent term is also a stupid liar.
imagine my cock
>>731058771
The term nation-state is referring to a modern thing called Westphalian system developed in the modern era.

Poltards try to be stupid challenge (impossible)

Btw you're brown.
>>
>>731058618
imagine being so retarded you try to compare the first evolution of mankind into nationstates with post-apocalyptic recovery by survivors who had records and memories of what the past was.
>>
>>731058834
>reeee my historical definition states-
We aren't talking about the first evolution of nation states from unevolved barbarians.
We are talking about FALLOUT, retarded tourist.
This is the remains of AMERICANS coming back together to form nation-states.
Not a bunch of unga-bunga tribes with zero memory or examples.
Writing already exists.
Electricity already exists.
Records of civilizations already exists.
Established family unit traditions ALREADY EXIST.

Holy shit did they just send the most retarded uneducated redditor around to come and try to shill about a franchise they never even bothered to read up on or something?

this thread is ass

retard anon, sit down stop flapping your mutt lips and be silent
read>>731058834

Nation-states is a NEW thing not an old thing.
I'm going to assume you are actually a brown person at this point

Nation states did not evolve out of tribes, This never happened. Nation states are a modern invention you low iq poltard

Hey man why does it say these fallout people got radiation powers and stuff?
Radiation doesn't work like that, my wikipedia says so!

>>731058959
>reeeee ssaaaaar do not redeeem my ignorance
and the pajeet is throwing a fit because he is too stupid and uneducated to look up what the roman empire was or how it came about.
>>
>>731057265
>collapse was inevitable unless players did something
Only the Mojave. The NCR as a whole is fucking huge, California wouldn't collapse if they got pushed out the Mojave. The same reason them nuking Shady Sands in the show wouldn't cause the entire NCR to collapse. It'd be a shitshow of politicians trying to figure things out and barons trying to get as much control as they can, but it wouldn't completely collapse.
>>
>>731057720
Ironically enough the Institute were basically a civilised society already and were almost on the path of self sustainability but the BoS had to literally nuke everything into dust because let's be real bethesda are gonna make it canon. If you looked at them from a reformists point of view they were probably the best shot to actual honest to god environmental restoration but Bethesda's writers can't writer worth a shit.
>>
>>731059005
The Roman empire wasn't a nation state. It was an Empire with a senate and Emperor. A republic before that and a kingdom before that.
You retarded turkish rat.

>>731059058

that nation-state kingdom.
how do you think it came about and EXPANDED, dumbass?

>was shown throughout NV that the NCR are being spread thin
Which played no role in the destruction
>most outposts could not secure supplies for months
>collapse was inevitable unless players did something
Also had nothing to do with their destruction and the nukes dropped before attrition set in. Here’s an idea go back to eating cowshit instead of doing damage control for some dogshit tv show.

Big news saars.
The babylonians NEVER actually existed.
the word "babylonian" is a NEW word in english, which is a much newer language.
So anything who thinks Babylon existed is wrong.

>>731059148

SAAAAR do not redeem this accusation.
your entire family line has only two digits between them

>>731059232
>no clean water
The water barons won then
>>
>>731059232
The NCR never existed anon.
They are some new fictional word called a "nation state" and historically nation states were NEVER called that, so they never existed.
Kingdoms emerged out of thin air by magic, and the NCR didn't have magic so it never was.
The nuke was an enlightened atheist unmaking their delusional existence or something.

Hello saars I am native fallout fan of many years show is 100% accurate because japan the nation is very big and shady sands city is very small thank you come again

I, as your better, will take pity on you.
You look at the fans and think

the problem is that your vision is dark and everything looks like shit because you are a filthy pajeet and thus EVERYTHING appears to not be bright to you.

Ending related to NCR do not support your claim. Even those from House/Yes Man route
Show retconned these

>>731057534
It feels like it's post "fuck up everything" run
>>
>>731057265
Because NCR is:
>the ideological default
A force for unity, however impractical is always treated as the default for those who were educated in most English speaking nations. No matter how far reaching this unity is and no matter who doesn't want it. Neolibs and Tankies both don't understand the benefits of borders.
Someone who hasn't done a lot of political thinking or hasn't read political philosophy will prioritise unity over independence over authority.
This is why the majority of people pick NCR, ignoring its issues.
This is also why people pick Imperials over Stormcloaks in Skyrim, despite the game outright telling you "They lost the last war and they're gonna lose the next one unless they pull a Caesar out of their ass. And their Caesar is gonna be assassinated by his own men."
>first option bias
The NCR is the side of the game you're exposed to first, the first follower characters you can meet are NCR, and the most quests you can do are NCR related. Human beings tend to be biased to wanting the first option they see.
>IQ
Midwits are the majority players of every video game, the majority consumers of all fiction, and median IQ people are terrified of any form of governance that isn't a representative Republic, so much so that they made Game of Thrones end in a fucking democracy. So when the options are:
>Caesar, an Imperialist Oligarchy
>Independance, an unprotected nation state
>House, Ancapistan
>NCR, Representative Muhmerica
There's only one option that isn't scary, and thereby personally offensive to them.

Why yes, I understand Yes Man to he the morally correct course of action, how could you tell?
