    Honestly, that’s a great point that I hadn’t considered. I do think that unfortunately it has led to a bunch of unironically fascist Fallout fans, but the point about avoiding an objectively correct solution is a great one. And I do agree, Yes Man is the “least worst” option, but I do think that because the Followers support it and the Final Quest is “No Gods, No Masters,” it is still showing what the devs consider to be an Anarchist ending.

      Yeah that’s the other side of the coin, you get people like sloptuber Sch*zoElijah unironically shilling the Legion, Starship Troopers effect of fascists liking satire unironically.

      The Followers were meant to have their own ending once which had to be cut, and I find that very curious. Maybe NV had a best ending once?

        that’s probably overstating how much (if any) work was done on it. iirc they had some plans for the followers being a main faction instead of a side one, more legion content, etc but didn’t have time or budget. Very little of that stuff was actually made in any appreciable sense, it’s not like complete scenes cut from a movie.

        Yep, fuck SE and his followers. He even modded the Christchurch shooter’s gun into his game, constantly slurs in his discord, and displays fasces like the Black Sun.

        As far as I know, the Followers didn’t have an “ending,” but a permutation of Yes Man with Followers support.
