What Major and Minor Factions Really Think of a ‘Neutral Good’ Independent Courier in New Vegas

Scribe Tacitus of the Followers of the Apocalypse documents the Mojave five years after the Courier’s victory, revealing a fractured world where favored settlements thrive while the rest collapse into anarchy under a system of selective feudalism. The defeated NCR views the Courier with bitter regret, the broken Legion worships him as a technological demon, and the Brotherhood fears him as an existential threat. Tacitus confronts the Courier in the Lucky 38, discovering a disillusioned caretaker who has rejected all ideologies to simply manage the wasteland's ruin rather than rebuild it. The story concludes with the realization that the Courier has frozen the Mojave in a state of perpetual, indifferent struggle, proving that true peace may be impossible.
