wtf are u talking about vederas.... first of all i love ncr, allways did.... and ncr was allways better then VC at least in my books... second of all u got broken hils 1 minute away with taxi alt with hq stuff, and if theres too many pk's then u got redding 4 min away from ncr....... and ncr is a great place for noobs... trading safe grounds eazy leveling by new reno, a protected mine and alot of traders which help alot on the beggining...
you love ncr, but that doesnt mean it is better. Lets compare
1 VC 2 NCR

Distance between towns where you can pvp 1 close 2 far
I dont know what factors could be compared also, but look at that, ncr has nothing that vc doesnt and ncr lacks many of those things that vault city has. Some very long time ago, ncr was very good, it had flint in town, junk barrel in town, tree in town, yeah the town was competitive those days. Now its total shit but people still living in there only because of reason that it was good town some very long time ago. Open your eyes man.
