It’s not that he can’t spare them but that the rules say he needs a minimum soldier headcount at the outpost at all times. If it were up to him he’d probably do it himself but it’s one of many cases of the NCR letting themselves be governed by their own paperwork rather than by material reality. It’s one of the game’s central criticisms of them as an organisation, that its leaders don’t understand what the problems are, that they think you can win a war or feed a nation by shuffling paper around on a desk.
Nice video, cut like this you really notice just how few voice actors they had and how they're basically just playing one character over and over. In the actual game the dialog is spread out too much to be this noticeable.
Good observation. I think that's part of the charm with some characters like Trudy, Red Lucy, Sarah which are voiced by the same woman. Maybe not so much with the NCR, because like you said, they're playing the same character and not changing up their voice.
Obsidian’s just using the Bethesda method of having multiple characters being voiced by the same person. Skyrim has this too and I think Fallout 3 as well.
The fact the courier has to do so much for the NCR to get them ready to fight Caesar's Legion shows just how fucked they were at the start. It doesn't take nearly as long to sabotage the NCR and fight for the Legion. What irks me a lot about this is that you are never actually accepted as one of either side. My guess for the reason why you aren't considered a soldier in their army is due to how you are more like a hired gun trying to earn their favor. If you were officially accepted into their ranks, whether it be as an officer or an enlisted, you would have to follow the standards and orders appointed over you, you would be assigned to a specific post, and you will pretty much be in the same situation the courier is currently helping all NCR Folk out of. If they can't accept you as a soldier, how come they won't accept you as an NCR citizen? That also is rather disappointing.
Actually, the implications of your face getting put on a coin by the Legion, both male or female tells you that Caesar was choosing you as his successor because only Emperors in Rome had their faces slapped on coins, so the Legion does accept you. Additionally, it's a Legion Aureus, which is the coin that previously only had Caesar's face on it
@founderoftheempire8589 I never thought of that before. And I guess being awarded with the highest medal for civilian people from the NCR could potentially suggest that you have become a part of the NCR, just not a part of their military.
@@foxtrotzekeyyyea it’s pretty neat but also imo a bit lame where you don’t actually have any power or position in either factions but just vast amounts of influence (you could use to build up a political or military career if that was a possibility)
@@whilrybird67 Realistically that's probably what would happen for a Courier who aligns with the NCR.(especially a high Charisma one) The Golden Branch pretty much implies they gave The Courier citizenship, so the Courier could easily slip into NCR politics and gain popularity fast with their heroic reputation. Alternatively, the Courier could slip into the military and they'd likely climb rank very fast.
I think a better ending is with the Followers assisting the NCR, Enclave assistance, Gannon staying because he becomes a teacher for the NCR, and the Brotherhood assistance by reforming, regrowing and helping patrol for the NCR in a partnership.
I just had the funniest thing happen while watching this, so it got to the part when you investigate ranger station charlie & as you jumped over the first trip wire the explosion went off & it went from the white part of the flash into a trading 212 advert SEAMLESSLY 😂😂😂
