    The Rangers are fascinating as they are just normal people fighting for what they believe in, going against technologically superior forces in the Brotherhood, and winning. That kind of willpower is scary.

      I wouldn't say they're "just normal people" -- they're the best of the best and most experienced operatives on the NCR. They're people that have proved they can survive and overcome the harshest environments and still do their job. Not superhuman, but way, way above the average human that roams around in the Fallout world.

    It should be noted, something that the series doesn't go out of their way to explain, but the G.E.C.K. (Garden of Eden Creation Kit) is a module capable of localized terraforming.
    Fallout 76 has an entire zone that is an example of what happens when a G.E.C.K. malfunctions. Ironically, it's not entirely Vault-Tec's fault it did so.

    Yeah unfortunately the NCR got stopped due to geography and them facing Caesar’s Legion really halted their advance east. The second battle of Hoover dam changed all of it. Helios one does actually exist out somewhere near Las Vegas. It’s the largest solar energy collector on the west coast and currently powers Las Vegas and part of LA. Currently a government site owned by a power company. Hoover dam also powers Las Vegas but due to its less than stellar water supply in the last couple of years it’s mostly become a backup to a backup. All thanks to the horrible rainfall and the Colorado River being so used up.

    one thing i love about The Storyteller's videos is he's using the Fallout OST as he's narrating it, such a great touch for those familiar with the soundtrack. the NCR are very much the good guys, or at least as close to as someone from the wasteland is gonna get. sadly though, they suffer the same problems that we today have to endure, and that is a hierarchy that lacks empathy, growing colder and more corrupt the more time that marches on. it's tragic to think that simple comforts can make someone grow power hungry.

    Bethany kinda hits the nail on the head with the "History repeats itself, even in the post-apocalyptic." _That_ is literally what Fallout was about originally. Hence the tag-line: "War Never Changes."
    It's why The Protagonists end up using nuclear devices to eliminate both 'The Children of the Cathedral' and 'The Enclave' in the original games. (Bethesda just never picked up on that little detail, which is why we get to throw nukes around all willy-nilly in _their_ versions of Fallout. And why the overarching theme falls apart after F2.)

    NCR rangers are absolute monsters. Their military tech may not be as advance, but their anti-material rifles can easily tear through Brotherhood, and Enclave power armor.

      The New Vegas era NCR is in a weird place that there is not really much to talk about. No weird ideologies,no cooky power structure -they are what they seem to be: a provincial government in post apocalyptic America. What we know of cities like Shady Sands, Vault City and New Reno from Fallout 1 and 2 is ancient history at this point in universe.

    Well with Helios 1 it's 2 nations with opposing ideals. That branch of the Brotherhood absoultly doesn't trust people with tech so an orbital death laser is kind of out of the question. Which I get, the NCR would totally use the orbital death laser to crush their enemies if they knew about it, so they have a point. But really current NCR and the Brotherhood just didn't have any motivation to work together on that one until the bullets and lasers started flying.
