Not a place for gamer gate talk or other reactionary behavior. TERFs and incels get the wall.

Not that this is ever going to happen but how sick would it be if Caesar found a book collection of Communist works instead of Hegel.
Just imagine: the game is initially set up the same way, you are told that the legion (they would have another name ofc but I currently can't come up with anything) is about to take Hoover Dam and that the NCR is barely hanging on. It is heavily implied that the Legion are the baddies but once you leave Goodsprings things get weird.
You can see at every corner that the NCR sucks and the more you learn about the Legion the more you realise they are actually good. All the while NCR personal is telling you again and again how evil the Legion is without the actual players perception ever reflecting that.
There would be so much potential to criticise western propaganda and hypocrisy regarding AES countries. And I think the best part would be that it would fly completely over the head of the average gamer/liberal.
