Sure, Pacer is a little abbrasive, but The King himself seems like a cool guy who genuinely cares about the poor people of Freeside (Funny that an impersonator of Elvis, an icon of capitalism, would care about the poor. very-intelligent )

They let you be a "Lady King" if the player is female and their barber is, if not gay, extremely effeminate. So they seem like an accepting bunch. Plus they are friendly to The Followers of the Apocalypse, who seem to be good people.

I dunno, they give me comrade vibes.

Every man can be a King

You're not wrong

Kings are my fav for sure. I like that The King acts hard but he's actually a softie.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

The real Elvis was actually remarkably generous (though of course, a rich person giving away money to random people won't change the dynamics of capitalism)

As for the Kings from New Vegas, they do care about the community, but nothing more than that. A positive force for Freeside, but lacking any kind of broader scope - they do make for a good partner to the local branch of the followers of the Apocalypse though.

He was also a pedo though

the actual best faction is right there. they're lame no-fun-allowed nerds but that's what actually gets the goods, not being sly greasers. the only criticism can be about Follower missionairisme, but besides the Sallow affair it seems mostly positive

The Followers are my favourite too. Don't agree with their no-violence thing, but they're the closest Fallout has to a purely good faction

Don't agree with their no-violence thing

Can I ask why? It seems like what would be expected for a Medical Organization? Its not like they're actually opposed to self defense considering the armed guards at all there locations and the fact that arcade can walk around with a death gun in his labcoat.

The Kings are great pillars of the Community of Freeside, and do what they can with what they have. However, they have no concrete plans or goals.

Westside is truly based, they have a cooperative structure, oppose Imperialism, and make a decent living out of horrible conditions through solidarity and camaraderie.

Both factions are friendly towards the Followers, so both factions get credit for that

They also give you gifts if you help out freeside. kel-bliss
