He's a bully but he makes good on his threats. I think people like him because he doesn't waste time like many video game characters going "well the story won't keep moving forward if you try to refuse me so... Lol help" he lets you fail his quest with cheek
@@Kxidence "Yes Man Anarchy is le good! Mr house is le bad!" Like, just shut up Arcade, you Self-Insert of Joshua Sawyer, no one asked for your opinion. Speak nonsense once again, and i'm activating ARCHIMEDES (even when i'm trying to be on good terms with reddi-... uhhh i mean NCR) OR i'm selling you to Caesar.
I like to think that every time they beat the crap out of the Courier in this video, some time passes and they accept him back to work for them until he pisses off Caesar again and he gets a beating again lmao
I can imagine the courier talking to joshua "i didnt feel like killing kimball then i said what do you got the case of skulltosis? And he just let me go." While joshua sits there 😐
Imagine if after the credits the very last interaction would by the Courier, Joshua and Ulysses sitting at the Goodsprings cemetary just chatting about minor entertaining things that the Courier did in the playthrough.
@@oditeomnes "heh, one time, I sent a bunch of ghouls to the other side of the Mojave on space rockets, and I shit you not, one dude thought he was one of them because he started balding."
You know, Caesar is surprisingly forgiving for a dictator. I do understand him though, I'd also want someone killed if they interfered with my nap time.
literally chugging out of a sink to save Stimpaks- {sips canteen} whipping out a missile launcher to obliterate Kimball- {sips canteen} doing a tumor-removing surgery- {sips canteen} only time I wasn't sipping my canteen was when the bastard Elijah stole it from me >:/
I read a comment once I really liked about why Caesar is so forgiving, and it’s because he is grooming the courier to be the next Caesar. It’s most noticeable when he honors the courier post game by minting a coin with the courier’s likeness, just as they did in the Roman Empire when a new Caesar came to power. It let everyone know the face of their new leader. Lanius is technically next in line, but everyone knows he is more of a butcher than a leader, and likely so does Caesar, but he wants someone leading his army that everyone is afraid of and nobody would be hoping for Caesar to die for so he could come to power. But the courier wasn’t a tribal who got absorbed, he/she was someone who was tenacious, capable, cunning, and served the Legion of their own free will.
@@ddelarosa96 the RU-vidrs name is yaboii, title "Is the courier the heir to the legion" I think. Very good channel if you like learning about fnv in general
Caesar: You were sent to kill Kimball, he stood before you and he still lives. What the hell happened!? Courier: I like paying Taxes. Caesar: Understandable. The Strip Reputation Change: Villified.
Yes man: why is president Kimball in a state of super position? Courier: I couldn’t decided whether or not to pay taxes Yes man: understandable Strip reputation change: neutral
@@somebodyupstairs6234you can Play as pure evil character and still be vilified by legion - real villains don't want other villains around ruining their fun
It always amuses me how caesar bases his motivations on hegelian dialectics like its a law of nature, when its just a theory. And he says the legion will stand the test of time when theres people already plotting against him within it
@@cecilsmith2061 ulysses states it pretty clearly, history repeats itself, ceasar will die. Be it his own people, conquest, though i am of the thought the legion will survive regardless if he dies or not.
I think it's a theme of fascistic dictators to misunderstand philosophers. Hitler and Nietzsche is probably the closest and most prominent example. It's great writing imo
It's also funny how he thinks it'll stand the test of time when he refuses to groom a proper successor, basically ensuring that it'll fall apart very quickly after his death
Caesar: "If I learn you committed any more crimes against the Legion, I'll have you butchered before my eyes." Also Caesar: "Congratulations! You're now my personal Physician. I trust you to give me brain surgery."
That's what you get for forming a nation of ignorants denied an advanced medical knowledge. There isn't many options tp choose from in the wasteland when it comes to surgeons.

Do you have to destroy BoS before that or is there another way?
imagine doing all of this and joining yes man in the end, not out of any preconceived plot mind you, but caesar trying to kill you for incompetence, than you shift the entire battle in Vegas favor just to escape the consequences of your actions and caesar lives regretting ever having met you
It's still funny to me how everyone looks up to Caesar as this sophisticated larger than figure who is a living god but he talks and curses like an angry sports fan lmao. "Ugh fuck this!! Im going to bed. Come to me tomorrow" 😂
Doing a medicine centric playthrough, I had plans to treat Caesars brain tumor, and then chainsaw his head off, but I have too much legion infamy to even attempt that now. How was I supposed to know Terrifying presence on Vulpes would start a legion hate snowball that they couldn't win once I got my hands on an Anti matiral rifle? So also, by the time it comes to conversate with Edward, I'll just open with "The burned man sends his regards" with the rifle in hand.
I’m done working for you “If you disobey me again I’ll have you hacked to pieces.” **later** 3:46 “… have you brought news of the Boomers?” I’m done working for y- **instant brain aneurysm**
One thing I wish you could do on α high Intelligence character is systematically pick apart the inaccuracies of the Legion with actual Rome when first meeting Caesar, goading him to attack you.
Courier: "Y-you misunderstand actual Rome, t-they had tooooochhnelogy!" Caesar: "No shit imbecile, I don't want a copy of it, I picked the likeness to Rome because of how foreign and alien it was to the tribals of the east, something so new and bizarre that once imposed into them will erase their tribal identity and become a single one"
Interesting the Caesar thinks Kimball dying will weaken their moral, whereas the older House believes he'll be martyred, and that the NCR will be emboldened to return.
@@user-nw1je1ur6tI don’t think Kimball is hated by everybody in the NCR. The game states that he is a war hero and some of the soldiers in the NCR sound excited about meeting the president at his Hoover Dam speech.
Well, House also needs Kimball to live so NCR is pissed off at Kimball instead of House, so House' tourist business isn't ruined. Meanwhile Caesar doesn't need that, and just wants him dead because it would weaken already shitty NCR morale.
@@ratronald My RU-vid account isn't new, Mate. Also, no I didn't create this account just to comment something on a video which is not supposed to be a joke.
Caesar is really smart, if you wont work for him he knows your only a liability and there's no point in keeping you alive unlike every other video game antagonist that just leaves you alive for plot reasons.
@@cornesalvo9366 I meant when you are captured, or put in a place you realistically wouldn't survive and they don't just kill you immediately after you decline their offer, or keep you imprisoned instead up just killing you.
@@AldipxpI think it speaks more of his bloodthirst than it does his intelligence. He would probably order the death of one of the praetorians in the room of they so much as belched in his general direction or something. If you were looking for "unique antagonists" then you'll find many, many other bloodthirsty villains out there that see their own units as disposable, Caesar ain't who you're looking for.
"Caesar is really smart" I'm not saying he is dumb, but the sheer number of times you completely ruin the Legion's strategy for dealing with the NCR and House is ridiculous considering he forgives you every single time.
*caesar pulls the courier aside in private and confides in him about a potential disease he may have asking what it could be* *the courier not giving a shit, literally makes one up*
that's an amazing cut at 3:55, genius editing. I am curious though, on the bit where he tells you to confess other crimes, I wonder if there's more you could do, like doing How Little We Know and breaking up the legion's deal with the omertas
Keith Szarabajka is a very talented actor, and he's had A LOT of roles. Including L.A. Noire's Herschel(narrator and last partner), Skyrim's Dark Elves, and Mass Effect 2's Harbinger(the big bad). To me, he's "the" voice of old guys that come across as experienced or sinister.
Someone that can be upfront and honest. Yet is so afraid of losing control that he already has. Most people are control freaks giving into desperation. Unlike most people though he's more honest. People will side with the devil they know if they are honest.
