#or b) kills his former commander at bitter springs and then commits suicide

i just think it’s really interesting how boone is set up as The NCR Companion (former NCR soldier + most supportive of the NCR route + will confront you and/or straight up leave if you gain too much NCR infamy) and then his actual dialogue, backstory and companion quest just beat you over the head with some of the most obvious pointed criticism of the NCR in the entire game

#fallout new vegas #fnv #craig boone #fnvposting #like the other companions will generally give arguments for their 'side' if they have one #meanwhile the whole point of boone's character is just. hey the NCR is kinda fucked up isn't it #just in case you didn't pick up on that we're going to have The NCR Companion tell you to your face how fucked up it is #and then! his NCR endings being (imho) his worst ones character wise where he either a) reenlists right back into the war machine #or b) kills his former commander at bitter springs and then commits suicide #even comparing the 'bad' legion ending to the 'bad' ncr ending like. with the legion he kinda gets to go out in a blaze of glory #with the ncr he's just like. broken. like this is a Fundamentally Broken Person #the 'bad' ncr ending is by far his bleakest one and i'm 100% sure that's on purpose #all in all boone ends up being like. the biggest argument AGAINST the NCR in the game despite being the companion most loyal to them #and i just. really like it! i really like the function boone's character serves for the narrative i think he's pretty neat #wish you could get a little more development after i forgot to remember to forget but alas such is the nature of fnv companion quests
