* Iceblaster doesn't mind the hacking minigame.

Then again, I have horrible unpopular opinions all the time

[KingofstarrySkies]

I never found it annoying, because I never bothered. Besides, who needs to unlock things when I have a Sonic Screwdriver to do it for me?

[MrWiggles]

The hacking mini game was pretty easy and somewhat fast to side step.

Just guess the first two answer. Back out, and try the first two selections. Eventually, the RNG will place the answer in those two spots.

But then you sometimes get an unskippable intro, or something, apparently?
I generally tried to get it right without having to reset, briefly checking each word to see if it was possible based on the previous guesses.  But rushing, so sometimes I missed stuff and had to reset.  It's not like consoles are excessively abundant.

Also, I've been playing Skyrim again, and I kinda forgot that it has a Legion too.  Still very Roman, without being vicious and backward.

Though maybe I was wrong to call Caesar's Legion "cartoonishly evil".  As people here have pointed out, it's the sort of thing that actually happened a lot in real life (though only a bit of it happened in the actual Roman Empire).  Caesar himself is a bizarre case, but he literally has a brain problem.

Depends on who you ask. It's actually kind of disappointing; I dug into the Forsworn quests and lore and that whole thing pretty well lays out how the Nords are land-stealing dicks who have oppressed the Forsworn and basically turned them into bandits. (Although they went to Daedra worship all on their own.) It added some depth to the otherwise faceless guys in furs and deer antlers, dirtied everyon'e hands a little.

There's just not as much on the Imperial/Nord side of the conflict, it seems. I'm planning on the doing the Civil War mod for my next playthrough and was hoping, after actually pursuing the Civil War (which none of my characters have since they're all usually outsiders to Skyrim and racist Nords don't exactly encourage them to pick a side) that there'd be some story development there besides "Ulfric is an asshole and the Empire is a puppet of the Aldmeri Dominion."

If I recall correctly, he has a problem with how the legion is acting as well, saying he is more like a barbarian king than a true emperor.  Though his belief that getting control of New Vegas as his Rome would be considered flawed.

In the former, you've summed up how I thought of the Stormcloaks at the end of their questline.  Haven't played through the Imperial questline, though (Imperial seems to be longer, as they have at least one mission before the fort capture, unlike what I recall of the Stormcloaks).

[Cheedows]

Generally, the Civil War questline for both sides in Skyrim was in my opinion pretty boring when it is supposed to be one of the huge main conflicts the Dragonborn is immediately introduced to.

I'm pretty sure Caesar just have cancer, not mental issues.

[GiglameshDespair]

He has brain cancer, and that commonly affects the mental processes.

[Flying Dice]

Knowing Fallout, it's probably Super Atomic Genegineered brain cancer, too.

[Bohandas]

Well I try to smash his head open whenever I meet him, so that solves that problem.

[KingofstarrySkies]

Literally have never done Caesars quests, face too explodable.

Besides. I almost always max out Speech. Killing Caesar and talking the Legate down at the final battle gets you seriously one of the best endings overall, IMO.

[Darkmere]

Literally have never done Caesars quests, face too explodable.

It's basically most of the stuff you do for the NCR but you just cause different outcomes and lie about it. You can actually maintain friendly NCR even after siding with the Legion past the point of no return in the main quest. Mostly.

Basically the whole campaign for Legion is half-done with a few interesting things at the Fort.... but not many.

[hops]

It'd probably be thematically appropriate to side with the Legion while doing a 1 INT, 10 STR melee run.

"I iz wit emporer nao."

[BFEL]

One of my friends tried a low INT high LCK run once. Said he felt like Rainman once he hit up the casinos
