Choose Your Side Wisely
In New Vegas there are factions that have their own beliefs and rules. The NCR is the military of the land. However, their main goal in New Vegas is to keep control of the Hoover Dam. You can side with them or side with the power gangers, fiends or even the Caesar. Each side makes another faction mad. So, choose wisely.
When deciding who to ally with, consider what benefits each faction can bring to your journey. Aligning with the NCR will provide you with their military backing, but could strain your relationship with independent groups. If you prefer a more chaotic approach, siding with the power gangers or fiends might suit your style but expect to become a target for law-abiding citizens and the NCR. Alternatively, siding with Caesar's Legion offers a unique storyline but carries moral implications. Each choice affects your experience and the opportunities available, so ponder your decision with the foresight of how it shapes your path through the Mojave Wasteland.
