Choosing a faction Fallout: New Vegas Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Major Factions

Once [Ring-a-Ding-Ding!] is completed, a moment comes when you have to choose a faction you'll be loyal to. You can choose one out of four possibilities:

1. Yes Man (Independent Vegas) - [Wild Card: Ace in the Hole]
2. Mr. House - [The House Always Wins, I]
3. Caesar's Legion - [Render Unto Caesar]
4. NCR - [Things That Go Boom]
5. Yes Man (Independent Vegas) - [No Gods, No Masters]
6. Mr. House - [All or Nothing]
7. Caesar's Legion - [Veni, Vidi, Vici]
8. NNCR - [Eureka!]

Each faction has its own questline (they are divided in this guide into the relevant chapters), but a lot of side quests are the same, because of need to choose (or destroy) other faction. You are able to eliminate, ignore or try to side with any of factions but you have the greatest freedom in case of the Independent Vegas. The other factions have their own specific plans for other groups and prefer that some of them are eliminated and some better join them.

Minor Factions

There are of course more Minor (or Other) Factions, but only these listed below count during the final battle for Hoover Dam:

• Brotherhood of Steel
• White Glove Society
• Omertas
• Great Khans
• Boomers

You don't have to take a decision right now. You can complete some initial quests for each faction and then decide which suits you best.

President Kimball

There is one more special chapter in this guide, which contains two quests dealing with the arrival of NCR president to the Hoover Dam. Almost each of factions has its own plans connected with the president and therefore you will have to complete one of two quests:

• [You'll Know It When It Happens]
• [Arizona Killer]

For the first one, your task is to protect the president and prevent the assassination, while in the second case you have to kill the president personally.

Hoover Dam

The last listed chapter deals with the final fight on the Hoover Dam. Depending on the faction you're loyal to, you will have to complete one of the four quests:

1. Yes Man (Independent Vegas) - [Wild Card: Ace in the Hole]
2. Mr. House - [The House Always Wins, I]
3. Caesar's Legion - [Render Unto Caesar]
4. NCR - [Things That Go Boom]
5. Yes Man (Independent Vegas) - [No Gods, No Masters]
6. Mr. House - [All or Nothing]
7. Caesar's Legion - [Veni, Vidi, Vici]
8. NNCR - [Eureka!]
