I'm actually impressed with the way they tied everything back together at the end. I can't say I was surprised that Steph turns out to be working with the Enclave, the deathclaw pack battle was pretty sweet as was the surprise capabilities of the NCR power armor and Thaddeus using his toes to stabilize the rifle. I know it was pure fan service but I love the NCR payoff at the end and while you could criticize it for essentially just setting up the same old faction conflict as all the games do it works. I am curious about what Hank's final plan is and was caught out by the fact it seems he has his own agenda separate from all the classic factions. I also thought it was a hilarious bit with Culkin's Legatus character claiming the title of Caesar and vowing to create a new "palace" to be the seat of the legion's power in New Vegas and declaring the intent to build "Caesars Palace" that shit cracked me up. What did yall think of the end of this season? What do you think Hank's programming is for? Also notably absent from both seasons is any whiff of the Institute, I wonder where they might figure into all this eventually?

And then there of course is that post credits scene.

A new Liberty Prime of course is the logical escalation for season 3

The thing is they're resetting thing by killing everything that looks like civilisation and then not allowing any progress, but to bring them back to the point where they were at they have to remove what the factions are.

The most spiteful is obviously them doing a round trip of west coast fallout locations and show them destroyed, but to me the most damaging is the NCR. The NCR were forged from the ideals that made the US the US, it is the new America for good and for ill (This in contrast to the Enclave who were the Old US, for almost entirely ill). This meant that commentary about the NCR could serve as an easy commentary on US history, it meant that the ideals of the NCR could slot into American and western conceptions of ourselves and our culture, and it meant that we could do stuff like contrast idealistic NCR believers with the jaded cynicism of manifest destiny and contrast both with other belief systems (And also with the Enclave, what the US became).
Now they serve as a literal fetish object for all that is good and pure, and that is just... nothing. There is no exploration of what the NCR was beyond a thing that was too good to exist on this sinful earth.
