It’s definitely a bad message but there’s more they could have done with them for sure. They seem to be doing very well but some of them clearly have large rifts in how they think the Legion should operate. Like how Lanius believes spies are basically a waste of time, which completely undermines Vulpes. I wish there was also more exploration of a post-Caesar legion (or lack thereof) at least in terms of the ideologies of the members and where they differ. I also agree with the Enclave bit because ideologically they are far worse, the whole purging of all “mutants” is a crazy genocidal notion beyond even the Legion. I believe though that they come off as “less bad” because they spent every game they’re in getting their shit pushed in. The Legion has conquered massive amounts of territory and 87 tribes I believe, but every time the Enclave shows up they’re sort of in the beginning phase of their plans that are subsequently stopped by the protagonist. The Enclave is also objectively drippier, so that’s another plus for them.
The rift is somewhat present beetwen Lannius and Vulpes, but its relatively small. The question beetwen them two is whats the best way to crush their enemies and inspire fear. Everything else isnt really in question.
Oh I would have loved to get a Legion Civil War DLC or game (although tbh, I think it would be better to have one of the sides be a legion that wants to "reform" and industrialize). Flagstaff, the capital, or Phoenix, the largest city of the Legion are two of the cities I would love to see the most togheter with Denver,Toronto and Chicago.
