59. Fiends have the amazing foresight which allows them to see from miles away who isn't or is a Fiend, even when they're wearing the same exact armour they all wear. 60. Killing Pacer in hidden mode with a plasma rifle with one shot to the back of the head whilst wearing a Stealth Boy is...

Considering that the Legion utilizes ambushes and raids and other guerilla methods, that's not too surprising to be honest. Dutch counterguerilla troops were ordered only to use swords in the Aceh War in the early 1900s and were able to take fortfied positions from numerically superior hostiles...

Wasn't the main reason that certain security forces use crossbows is to take out individuals who might possibly be equipped with explosives, i.e. terrorists?

The problem is that the entire set-up of ''grey vs grey'' between the NCR and the Legion is so poorly executed. We hear characters talk all the time about how they doubt that the NCR is able to maintain control, and how it is corrupt, but you see few signs of it in game. The few dickish NCR...

That's not really the issure here though. The point is that there is absolutely no need for a crossbow to be made, when guns are stashed everywhere.

Yes. Hell no.

The thing that ruined the Legion in my opinion was how cartoonishly evil they were, with Caesar not elaborating alot on the supposed redeeming aspects his theoretical synthesis would have. I'd have prefered it if they were a bit more like Neo-Luddites, as mentioned before. Opposed to modern...

Why should anyone want a crossbow when guns are not only ample, but far easier to master, manufacture, reload and find/manufacture ammunition?

Well, Lanius' real nature is rather vague. Caesar claims that he was a beserker that has no loyalty to the Legion, yet he is clearly quite intelligent and calm-headed, and cares about the lives of his men.

Because the people in it are irradiated, and are not genetically the same as the Enclave humans. Again, it's not entirely logical, but that's the point. The Enclave already is an entity that is born out of mass, irrational paranoia which their ancestors answered with horrific wars that created...

Well, the NCR has expanded and taken over major settlements like Vault City and Hub, so by this point Shady Sands would only a be a fraction of the total NCR population. The NCR is also supposed to be federal, so it would've shifted from the very Eastern identity from Shady Sands to a more...

To be fair, it is explained that they've investigated the people of the wasteland and discovered that those have radiation as well. The plans to purge the Wasteland were based on the fear that all humans in it were just mutants waiting to happen. It's developped from scientific findings into...

Eh, well, again, the Enclave is an extreme evolution of Fallout's US, which is an exaggeration of the real US during the 50s. They share some similairies, like the extreme patriotism, rabid fear of Communism, unethical secret military and government experiments and plans, and the rather strange...

And the Courier is the only one who can fix it because he has created ''a culture that is largely ignorant of medicine''. That's just stupid. Here we've got Caesar, a highly intelligent man who's created an entire civilization the size of Germany at least with thousands of people, and he's...

Which isn't an economy, that's just infrastructure. It doesn't necessarily mean trade, unless the Legion have something to trade. Again, there's not alot of information on the Legion homeland. Just that they have settlements. How they work isn't really mentioned much. Again, not really. I don't...

Eh, no. The Enclave are descended from the fictional US government from the series, which has gone through an entire alternate history. It's implied a lot that the pre-US govt already was heavily militarist, authoritarian and oppressive. Hell, the original Fallout starts with a happy WWI-ish...
