Am I correct that this example suffers from Wiki Schizophrenia? If someone has a cure, readd it.

  • Draco in Leather Pants: Caesar. Many fans will fawn over him; completely white washing his role in the atrocities he commits, claiming that he was simply forced into them by circumstances beyond his control. However, there is no evidence for this as Caesar in game never expresses any hint of remorse or conflict about what he’s done- quite to the contrary, he admits he enjoys conquering and killing and smugly boasts about it. Indeed, he actively encourages cruelty and sadism in his ranks as he’ll scold the Courier if you try to save Benny. While the argument could be made that he doesn’t want the player to go soft, his in game reasoning is simply that you need to work in your, ‘bloodthrist,’ making it clear that he actively wants his minions to be sadistic. Additionally, many of his actions are just plain gratuitous, such as sacking New Canaan (Some have argued he needed to preserve his image of infallibility in the Legion, but this was jossed by J.E Sawyer on a post in Bethesda forum where he confirmed Caesar only did it out of hated of Joshua- not to mention in one of the ending he lets the White Legs go despite them knowing about Joshua as well). If you refuse to do his bidding, he’ll even threaten to torture you to death for his enjoyment. While many fans claim he wants to reform the Legion by taking Vegas and synthesising with NCR, he never shows an interest in changing the Legion’s morality, just its structure. His treatment of the Khans shows that he keeps on policies like eugenics and cultural eradication even after taking Hoover Dam.
