New Vegas, where you can take over as "benevolent" dictator, hand it all over to a capitalist that would make the monopoly man blush, "might makes right" historical cosplayer caesar, or the NCR which is effectively pre-trump america 2.0 spread way too thin (admittedly I'm not as familiar with all the issues of this group as people tend to accept them as the default "good guys" lol). It brought us the violently isolationist Boomers (the jokes write themselves) and the wonderful line "Degenerates like you belong on a cross".
That's all without going into the DLC.
Don't get me wrong, the game is great. But I can see a lot of people missing the criticisms and challenge to try and pick the least worst options who instead would see it as endorsement of their particular yuck.
The NCR in New Vegas is clearly a nation overtaken by oligarchs deteriorating because they are slowly hollowing out the wealth of the nation.
Their whole lore is being founded as a “commie” republic, but by the time of New Vegas the Brahmin Barons took over, because of the ~republic~ part of it.
Also the specific entry they chose is FO3 LMAO
