I’m actually impressed with the way they tied everything back together at the end. I can’t say I was surprised that Steph turns out to be working with the Enclave, the deathclaw pack battle was pretty sweet as was the surprise capabilities of the NCR power armor and Thaddeus using his toes to stabilize the rifle. I know it was pure fan service but I love the NCR payoff at the end and while you could criticize it for essentially just setting up the same old faction conflict as all the games do it works. I am curious about what Hank’s final plan is and was caught out by the fact it seems he has his own agenda separate from all the classic factions. I also thought it was a hilarious bit with Culkin’s Legatus character claiming the title of Caesar and vowing to create a new “palace” to be the seat of the legion’s power in New Vegas and declaring the intent to build “Caesars Palace” that shit cracked me up. What did yall think of the end of this season? What do you think Hank’s programming is for? Also notably absent from both seasons is any whiff of the Institute, I wonder where they might figure into all this eventually?
And then there of course is that post credits scene.
A new Liberty Prime of course is the logical escalation for season 3
I wonder if they will mine Fallout Tactics for some stuff? I’m a Fallout Tactics defender, I love that game (as a Jagged Alliance like squad combat game, not an RPG). The Midwest Brotherhood is the most interesting version of the BoS. Basically contradictions being resolved through practice and going from inflexible fascists to a diverse coalition of humans, semi-humans and non-humans.
In a perfect world there would have been an Obsidan game about the NCR and the Midwest BoS (with a new better name) fighting a proxy war over a region. Two new superpowerrs flexing over the wasteland.
