These are interesting connections. Liberty Prime IMO is a caricature that mocks anti-communism, and maybe naively, I think we aren’t meant to side with the Brotherhood of Steel. You got me with the Republic of Dave
FNV I’ve only played once, but I missed the connection to the USSR.
I will admit that the NCR is portrayed positively for the most part, though they show that some of the people living under them are resentful.
Well Liberty Prime did get squashed and fascists are the bad guys, but FO3 seems to have liberal writers and not actual leftists.
It’s not obvious but if the NCR is the US the only ideological opponent I can think of is the USSR or China. The Legion seems to represent the Bourgeois version of the USSR, but they don’t really shove in your face, so that’s a plus.
