Having to kill someone because they blew some tech up is fricking moronic when they break their own rules all the time anyways
It is very, very poorly explained in game. The distinction is that Caesar is concerned about Legionnaires believing victory could be achieved without suffering and human cost. Legionnaire goes down there, starts talking about how the Legion could just win automatically with an army of robots instead of men, and now Caesar's gotta kill him. Because now you aren't winning the war off the back of the Legion's own ingenuity and easily accessible materials like rifles, you are winning the war because of some irreplaceable pre-War facility. Relying on this technology would result in the average Legionnaire becoming a complete stranger to personal sacrifice, which is an anathema to the Legion's ideology and goals.
A lot of things are poorly explained, or presented. A lot of people think the glowing ghoul leader of the Bright Brotherhood is an butthole for deceiving the non-ghoulified guy who thinks he’s a ghoul; but the game explains many times if you probe the dialog that they always tried to convince him he’s not a ghoul, before realizing how helpful he could be since he’s stubborn on sticking around, anyway.
And when you talk to Chris about it, and make him see the truth, he spouts that the cult used him, but the courier’s response is not immediately “you were deluding yourself” but instead convincing him that murdering them all for their ‘deception’ would not be right.
I agree with you there. I don't think it is a massive issue (most people intentionally pretend there is no explanation for shit to make cheap bait, or they just skipped through the dialogue), but there are definitely instances of New Vegas leaving important things completely underexplained or presented as vaguely as possible.
FNV, Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 are all crap and overrated, I wish cancer to all their fanboys. And stop spamming Ganker with shitty threads about FNV, nobody here cares about it, y'all should go back to Schizo Elijjah discord serve to cry and act as weird incels

>Caesar's Legiom tries to buy energy weapons from the Van Graffes >Draws the line at robots
I get it, you can't trust them, they can turn on you and go rogue, but what stops the Legion from smashing anything either way. I guess nobody saw a robot and it would blow their minds. What a stupid subplot for an otherwise great game. There was no reason for the bunker to be under the Fort, or either way he should have sent trusted men and found a way for House to fake a collpse/self destruction if the player helps him
>have society based completely on slavery and slave markets >same society destroys labor saving devices such as robots on principle
it would make a lot less sense if they used robots
The Legion wants to create a new society in the post war that doesn't rely on technological relics from the old world so that it can grow and develop differently from it
>so that it can grow and develop differently from it
That's stupid. You don't magically create a new technology tree just because you break all your own shit. It just means your own people are at a monstrous disadvantage.
You create a new tech tree based on what is available to your society. If the goal was to not emulate the Old World then destroying that tech made sense for their ideal, but yes it puts you in a fricked position if you are at war with people without those qualms.
>You create a new tech tree based on what is available to your society
But that's the opposite of what they're doing. Extremely advanced technological remnants are available but instead they actively suppress and destroy such instruments because it makes them "Weaker", which is stupid.
The goal is being the culture that survives the best and can exert it's influence on others. If it wasn't for authors fiat and Caesar being a Mary Sue dictator they'd be a laughing stock. The story needs to tie the NCRs hand behind it's back at every turn for the Legion to even have a chance of mildly inconveniencing them in Vegas.
It‘s not stupid. They developed many new medicines, because they harvested from creatures or plants of the Wasteland. The technology of the Old World relies on resources that are too depleted.
Having a civilization rely on scavenged technology and resources creates a situation, where eventually that civilization collapses once the basis of it is removed.
Just like the early medieval world collapsed in population, when the muslims took over Egypt and North Africa, vital food-surplus producing regions.
The Legion is what you want. They are the adaption to the Wasteland. They progressed in a different part of the technology tree.
>Many new medicines >The chick from the tutorial literally teaches you how to make medicine >The same medicine that's been a staple since the first game
I don't think that's true, dawg.
>that doesn't rely on technological relics from the old world so that it can grow and develop differently from it
Pretty moronic to be honest, industrial warfare will destroy them. If the Legion invades the NCR heartlands then NCR will go into panic mode and start transiting to war economy.
>Fallout New Vegas has such good writing that the main criticism is this miniscule error of character
The real plothole is how the Bison Steve Hotel has pre-war skeletons on the beds despite the building being used as a hotel recently.
>be obsidian dev >Todd shows up once a week >tells me to add skeletons everywhere >but- >tells me to shut the frick up and calls me dreamboy >add the skeletons with tears in my eyes
I only play the house storyline. It's so cool to sneakily exploit everyone's trust, silently savouring the moment as all the pieces fall into place, aware that when you'll make your move and reveal your treachery, they won't be able to stop you, because the game was rigged from the start.
Doesn't the door to the underground fort locks without the chip?
He wouldn't be able to send anyone to check because without the chip the doors would be locked. In fact i think he says that he tried to open them several times
4 INT
Bad writing
Nah that's too much for the writers
As he said himself, he would have to kill them.

the legion is a b***h to the brahmin barons, same with NCR and the strip. their only advantage is in slave markets.
>ncr cucks still seething about the bvll 10 years later
I love it.
b***h please house chads owned your ass. you will either be getting fisted by the midwest bos or be reduced into dancers for one our casinos.
cope, filthy tribal.
>be getting fisted by the midwest bos
The Legion has encountered them and btfo'd them
>Fallout New Vegas has such good writing that the main criticism is this miniscule error of character
The real plothole is how the Bison Steve Hotel has pre-war skeletons on the beds despite the building being used as a hotel recently.
Boulder City having 4 year old skeletons and weapons still in a building despite being occupied by NCR is fricking dumb as well.

you got explanations for this in at least 2 other threads you dumb Black person
doesnt count
There is a very loud explosion when the bunker is destroyed, commented on by caesar himself.
Legion femboy bussy
The door locks behind the Courier, and iirc you slot the chip into the terminal to upgrade the Securitrons, so it isn't like Caesar had a key either.
read the archive for any number of threads that answered your stupid question.
I only play the house storyline. It's so cool to sneakily exploit everyone's trust, silently savouring the moment as all the pieces fall into place, aware that when you'll make your move and reveal your treachery, they won't be able to stop you, because the game was rigged from the start.
You already made this thread and plenty of people gave you the answer already
I am not satisfied with the answers sorry. It is bad writing.
Because he trusted you as his fricking friend maybe, butthole?

He wouldn't be able to send anyone to check because without the chip the doors would be locked. In fact i think he says that he tried to open them several times
