On one playthrough I set off the self destruct at the bunker I wanted to keep Veronica as a companion, so I put on a disguise, but I had only one disguise on me, a Legion disguise, but not just any Legion disguise, so as far as the Brotherhood knew, Caesar himself rose from the grave to personally destroy them.

Useless Steve didn't talk down the Legate: Lanius saw the ventilating mask and decided that social distancing was his priority.

To think, none of this would have been possible without the help of His Highness King Rory the Radscorpion of Radscorpionsprings.

In this episode we talk to Liam O'brien, Liam O'brien, Liam O'brien and Liam O'brien while stealing from Liam O'brien, and killing Liam O'brien several times in the process. Once you hear this guys voice, he is literally everywhere. He is the real life Gary of the Fallout universe.

@@alfiemitchell3026 Old comment but I don’t think so, Lanius is more intelligent than the myths say. Graham doesn’t even know Lanius so you can’t just listen to him, Ulysses is probably blinded by myth like The NCR and Legion. Lucius basically tells a different account of Lanius (Lanius was a legionnaire at 12)… how could someone that young ambush legion patrols like Caesar says? Lanius comes off as not a military idiot who doesn’t understand supply and military tactics, and his retreat confirms he cares more about the Legion than Caesar says he does when he’s reinforcing his mythical status. Why would he be able to be convinced that a legion occupation of the Mojave would destroy the legion just like how it’s destroying the NCR if he was just a “savage general who only cares about Caesar?” Why would Caesar set him as a successor if he would the lead the Legion to ruins? I think Caesar made myths about Lanius only to have the NCR underestimate Lanius as an aggressive idiot who doesn’t understand smart military tactics. Lanius would do fine, he already understands how hard the conquest of the east was. Lanius almost lost because of the lack of supply, I don’t think he would allow that to happen again with the NCR.

Imagine preparing for war for years, then having a dude with pimp clothing and a fancy hat, high af on drugs, drunk on moonshine, and holding a magazine, walk up to you and somehow convince you to not do it. Hmmmm
