Crispy said:My opinion on the whole thing's initial concept still stands, though. It'd certainly be an interesting question to either or both of them.
What originally inspired the devs is kind of irrelevant, isn't it? It's what they did with it, which was to build a faction explicitly modeled on Imperial-era Rome, where an authoritarian-military state brings peace and stability through forced assimilation using brutal but effective methods.
Crispy said:Did you actually think the founders and members of Caesar's Legion took their inspiration from literature that's all but been destroyed?
Crispy said:I'm saying where would such an idea come from in a game primarily focused around the U.S. Southwest/Mohave region other than from Caesar's Palace?
Vault wiki says the inspiration (in universe) was NV-Caesar coming across copies of Gibbon's Decline and Fall and Julius Caesar's Comentarii. I guess this must be from the Joshua Graham DLC I haven't played yet.
