The systems are scant and underwhelming? Well, maybe that's because you've been playing for 3 days and you haven't seen the fucking systems yet.
Things like combat, leveling up, etc. are clear quickly enough and, ya, they're underwhelming. I wish there was a bit more nuance and a bit more to do, but it's not a biggie. Fallout under Bethesda is a certain kind of game, and Obsidian did what they could with it.
And maybe if you payed some freaking attention you'd know that the NCR is quite big and they set up the correctional facility.
That's my point. It's unbelievable that a Fallout world would have any place for people who cause trouble. As slaves, perhaps, but a community wouldn't waste its time trying to reform them; they've got more than enough else to contend with, without also trying to fix people who are untrustworthy and dangerous.
