'Fallout' Season 2's Legion Is The Most Terrifying Faction In The Franchise

"Fallout: New Vegas is a vast role-playing sandbox. Its emphasis on player freedom yields more than 100 variations in the ending cutscenes, although the game champions four major faction endings. One of these branched narratives ends with Caesar's Legion taking over the New Vegas Strip after driving the New California Republic (NCR) out of the Mojave Wasteland. Season 2 of Amazon Prime's Falloutintroduces us to this imperialist faction after Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell) stumbles into their encampment while escorting a female survivor."

"Once Lucy is taken to the Legion encampment, we learn that Caesar is dead. Unaware that the name of his successor is written on a piece of paper inside his pocket, his men have split into opposing factions with newly appointed Caesars. Neither faction is better than the other, as the Legion unanimously believes in totalitarian dictatorship, basing its values on the worst aspects of the Roman Empire."

"In New Vegas, the player-controlled Courier can choose to work for Caesar by completing the "Render Unto Caesar" quest, which opens up various Legion-related storylines depending on the choices you make. Caesar opposes the NCR because he believes the faction doesn't care for "the greater good," but his own barbaric policies are rooted in autocracy. What's more, Caesar takes advantage of his men's ignorance by claiming that he's the son of Mars and executing anyone who dares to suggest otherwise."

Fallout: New Vegas is a large role-playing sandbox with over 100 ending variations and four principal faction outcomes. One major ending results in Caesar's Legion conquering the New Vegas Strip after expelling the New California Republic from the Mojave Wasteland. Season 2 of Amazon Prime's Fallout introduces Caesar's Legion when Lucy MacLean stumbles into their camp while escorting a female survivor. Caesar is dead and his followers have split into rival factions claiming new Caesars. The Legion enforces totalitarian, Roman-inspired autocracy and brutal punishments. In-game, players can align with Caesar via the 'Render Unto Caesar' quest, revealing his exploitation of followers and claim to divine lineage.
