>The NCR is objectively the right choice because they put a load of stuff showing how good they are in the game but forgot to put in all the stuff showing how bad they are.
Objectively wrong. Every NCR quest is about how incompetent/undertrained/underequipped they are, and how the higher ups and bureaucracy fucks up everything. Hell, if you play Fallout 2, you'd know that Shady sands is literally a dictatorial police state with heavily armed "police" doing nothing but standing around protecting the brahmin barons and government agents while extorting travelers and citizens. They shoot you on sight if you carry a weapon, too, + Tandi's worthless junkie son is allowed to harass, rape and rob anyone he wants to, but if you defend yourself every cop on the map turns hostile. + Tandi literally gives you a quest to murder the squatters in vault 15, and only if you suggest a peaceful resolution she goes "yeah, ok". The entire fucking point of the Legion is that it's the NCR (an expansionist dictatorship), except the legion doesn't pretend to be an egalitarian democracy, actually gives a shit about stopping raiders, doesn't rape you with taxes and has competent leadership. Caesar literally tells you this.
