Damn, kinda fucked. But also recontextualises it as "Fallout the first game" instead of "Fallout the series" as he wasn't much involved past #1. I've no idea how accurate that statement is then as I've never played 1 or 2.
The way I envision my Independent runs (yes, multiple) ending is my Six knitting together the Followers of the Apocalypse, the Kings, and the folk who run the Atomic Wrangler(bc fuck the van Graffs) in tandem with Yes Man's securitron army to rule over Independent Vegas as a council
Facts; I constantly forget Westside is a thing once the scumbags that sold kids to Cook-Cook are dead. ('Cause they always have to die.) More Thorn runs are necessary x)

A worker's council even
Fold in Westside, guaranteed some are comrades. The bulk of infrastructure there is cooperatively managed, and they are firmly anti-Imperialism

Absolutely, fuck those shitheads. Westside is fun, but underutilized sadly.
G*mers: "Ceasar's Legion FTW"
I like the authors take, at the end.
Lol I've been hit!

Yeah, like, this isn't to say that it make his opinion any more valid, I just thought that was interesting context
