Who is your favorite character in/from the Legion?

"Up yours, NCR moralists! We'll see who crucified who."

Caesar also reminds me of how Shaka Zulu came into power. War in that area was more ceremonial, a way to solve disputes. It included displays of power which included ceremonial outfits, dancing, displays of wealth. Very rarely people died. Like Caesar said, they "played" war. Shaka showed them total war. He showed up to these events and actually killed his enemy. And he went on to conquer his local area. He eventually became paranoid and his elites turned against him.

It’s such a beautiful parallel how the legion and ncr both become wasteland superpowers. The NCR had been several towns inspired to unite thanks to the help provided by the vault dweller, as well as due to the fact all powerful threats had been removed (Unity and Enclave scattered). The legion was able to form simply because ONE tribe was able to master war strategies from an intellectual. Rather than occasionally skirmish, the Blackfoots under Edward Sallow engaged in total war to destroy or assimilate. And with just a few tribes absorbed into his new legion, Caesar’s legion was larger and more tactically brilliant than any of the simplistic 80+ tribes around them that they grew to absorb. Thus, the only power to rival was the opposite nation.

The legion is the most interesting “antagonist” faction in all of fallout, great vid

Kermit yapping in the beginning was dope

Ave, True to Kaisar

Wow, incredible work. I loved the psycological analysis and philosophy you wove into it. This is awesome.

Hearing lobsterman talk over dying light 2 music was super unexpected

Fallout New Vegas really was Fatherless behaviour VS Bureaucrat behaviour

This is by FAR the most engaging and interesting fallout channel on KZfaq.

The quality of your content is insane

They could've made the show about the rise of Caesar and it would've been the most interesting political drama show in TV history.

I wonder if the Legion never went further East due to the Midwest being so dangerous? Or just from a lack of tribes in Capital Wasteland or Commonwealth?

This was fascinating and incredible

The Blackfoot tribe isn't a nod to the Native American tribe. According to Van Buren the Blackfoots were actually the descendants of a branch of US Special Ops members. So they have the same name but not the same people.

I'm currently preparing a Fallout campaign set in the Midwest/Arizona before New Vegas, and a big part of it will be Caesar's rise to power. Just wanted to thank you a lot, as there are not a lot of sources to draw inspirations from. Ofc I'll write a lot on my own, but the topic is so fascinating, I'm just wondering why almost nobody really gets deep into it.

Fantastic video. Thank you for making it.

I just hope the show reveals that the courier captured Ceaser and had been torturing him daily all these years

Amazing vids man, please make more!!!

Great stuff man keep it up loved the opening message

The disdainful opinion about the FoA and calling them naive idealists more likely comes from the older, much cynical Caesar, who with them shames himself maybe for being just as idealist and naive as them, when he set out to the Grand Canyon all those decades ago. Personal opinion, this is.

I didn’t click on a fallout lore video to get slapped with the biggest reality check of my life

This was a great video man. Immediate subscription from me

I thought I was listening to a Cristian Cage promo for the first minute and a half

I went from a JBP clip to this video, and I cannot tell you how utterly confused I was for a good 3-4 seconds 😂 Excellent video, btw 🫡

I really wish they reached further enough to be in Fallout 4 back when that game was coming out but nah. We get generic merc faction, The Gunners, instead.

Best Fallout faction.

Have you played the DLC-sized mod in Hearts of Iron 4 called "Old World Blues?" The lore and stories they've written in that game is pretty interesting. You can even play as Legate Lanius and betray Caesar by simping to an AI larping as a Roman Goddess. The stuff they've written there is insane, might be a great source of inspiration for future videos or something.

I'm gonna need name of the music, please.

I love how you preface the absolutely unhinged ideology of the Legion, with the absolutely unhinged ideology of another maddened cult leader.

2:00

Sigh* (Loads anti-material rifle)

I world like fallout even if cesar fail at the second hover war he cannot be take as a failure but his succeeds he will be the greatest on his world UNTIL THE BOS OF THE EAST NUKE THEM WITH LIBERT PRIME but yeah hate as much as you want q godless world is a world where might is right and until the full eradication of the legion isn't happening he won the game

What would a fallout romania 🇷🇴 be like?. A top Guy like warrior horde?

I really don't think Caesars father was that influential in his life. It was more his fascination with Rome.

Jordan Balthazar Peterson introducing a video on creepy socially conservative slavers is deeply funny.

There is no "good guys" in fallout man i really hate that phrase

I always liked it was a faction copying the 2 most well known super powers in history. Modern day U.s. and Rome.

Hey could you please credit the fanart you use in this video? I know the people that made the artworks in this video.

So, long story short... Caesar has mommy issues?

Why couldn't we get a show written like this instead of that dogshit amazon show?

This video perfectly encapsulates the mindset of average western leftist urbanite not being able to understand what the world would be like without the amenities and security provided by modern industrial institutions. People call the Legion and its leadership “comically Evil” because “muh slavery”, even though slavery was the most common thing civilisations did and saw nothing wrong with it up until 250 years ago where international commerce became a thing thanks to technological advancements and the “pax Britannica” allowing safe oversees commerce and slaves became obsolete due to their relative lower economical output. In the world of fallout, where the whole human civilisation reverted back to it’s inception and has to start over from tribalism, it makes sense that a more organised structure would eventually appear, like the Legion. And no, it wouldn’t be like NCR, and in the fact the game lore itself acknowledges that since the NCR is already losing power due to corruption and internal struggles so much so they can’t even keep the roads safe, which are bread and butter of any successful civilisation. And the Legions treatment of the tribes is not “inhumane” or anything the tribals would be surprised by since the savages are the most violent people and in fact commit genocide against other tribes all the time. Whoever the leftist are brainwashed by the idea of “noble savages” which is the root of modern leftist anti western ideology. Hence the Caesar’s Legion is the only civilisation that can survive the wasteland and eventually unify it under one flag and maybe be able to restore technology so there would be no more need of slave labour. Obviously the writers of the games would never allow that to happen even though we saw shady sands being nuked in the series but at the end of the show they recovered a seemingly infinite source of energy which is basically gonna be their plot armour against the Legion. They are leftists themselves so they would never show other own ideology weak and easily conquerable by something that they villainize as “le heckin fascists”

Gotta love the wisdom of Jordan Peterson!

You had me with the title and lost me with Jordan Peterson video. Dude is a grade A nut job.

JB peterson sucks

Lol not Jordan Peterson 😂😂😂. 1. Wtf does he have to do with fallout 2. Has he like.. done any studies on any of the things he talks about ever? He just talks out his ass all the fkn time. I don’t think he’s ever written a single peer reviewed paper. Edit: also, I’m not a psychologist, but even if Peterson was much more scholarly rigorous, I’d still think that Carl Jung and sigmund Freud are outdated hacks. Talk to any therapist today and they’ll tell you that weird subconscious Freudian shit is a bunch of bs. Double edit: big thanks to the creator of the vid for the FIVE replies, none of which actually had anything to do with this comment :).
