I chose the path of the gunslinger for him
Mechanic. My companions don't kill. They hold my stuff and sit quietly while daddy kills the bad guys. Raul reducing my equipment degradation is worth way more than effectively giving him the cowboy perk to me.

Last time I killed Caesar, I had a lot of fun. I got everyone pissed at me, ran out the door, hopped over the wall into the arena, counted to 3 (not two, not 4) and tossed a Holy Hand Grenade right back at the door. Went off and killed EVERYONE.
Which is basically the only time those things work. You need cover, because you can't throw them far enough to get out of the blast radius.

I Pay onto Caesar... Hot Lead and a Red Glare.
After relieving myself of booty from Mt Zion and not wanting to dick around with more DLC for the moment I decided to advance the main story. And after spending God knows how long in the casinos, I decided it was time for some action.
So, I marched through camp Searchlight (thanks for your mask, Ulysses!), stopped off to blow up some ghouls (gotta use dynamite on something) then went flashing my Mark of Caesar like a big shot, got to the ferry, and took a ride.
When I get to Caesar's camp some a#++!!! says we have to give up our weapons, of course, that's not happening, and immediately pull out Ghost who jacks in darkness (or some other pretentious name for a .45) of course this starts an all out Ballistic Fist brawl, and we all know who wins that battle!
It was right after this I realized it was past noon, grabbed my trusty Red Glare, and it's 256 rockets, and just started marching thru camp firing rockets everywhere! With ED-E and Veronica mopping up any stragglers, surprisingly I didn't hit any slaves.
By the time I'd discovered the shed (and walked by Caesar's tent) I'd gone thru over 50 rockets, when I doubled back to Caesar's tent, I knew things would be sideways in there, so I grabbed Annabelle, three her over my shoulder and went inside.
Now at the time I thought I'd only fired off three missiles when I opened the door and saw the f%&+head a@%&$%~ sitting on his throne with guards grabbing their guns. However after further review of my payload, it was five. Needless to say, I had a lot of body parts to sift thru.
While sifting through the bodies for ammo and sunglasses, who should I see tied up in his tacky as s&~+ suit, Benny!
So I shot him, in the head, with my huge giant rifle, no talking, just one shot.
In hindsight, I should've used one of the many ballistic fists I found and punched his head off.
Oh, well, always next time.
Rampage!!

Taking on the Legion with my army of robots.
The Legate is a bad ass, finally took him out but failed to save afterwards and got gunned down by the NCR General shortly thereafter.
So back to taking in the Legate, next time I won't take the NCR General so lightly (I'll also keep an eye on my health when the s+!@ goes down.

Yeah, part of the problem here is, the story makes it so plain that the NCR is hosed without your help, you don't always stop to think about what they can still do to you.

NCR is the only faction you can join that will allow you to ally with the Brotherhood (aside from Yes Man), so I don't mind siding with them. Even when I go against them with House or Yes Man, I usually have enough good faction status with them to not get in a fight at the end....when I side with Caesar, though, well, you gotta break a few eggs...

Here's a goal for you:
Get the Brotherhood, the Enclave Remnants, AND the Great Khans to help you out at Hoover Dam.
I mean, the Boomers are practically required unless you decide to do things on Legion hard mode, but there are some definite contortions involved in getting everybody else to help you out without hacking each other to bits.

I'm surprised no one took Imperator Furiosa as an alias, in the spirit of the holidays, and to not confuse people I added a bit, and didn't take the actual Imperator Furiosa.
can anyone guess what movie I finally watched this week. One of the best movies ever.
When you play Fallout 4, if you name your character "Furiosa" your robot will actually call you by that name.
Yes, the Battle of Hoover Dam is the ending of F:NV. When you are about to trigger the final endgame sequence, the game will very clearly warn you you are about to hit the point of no return--as in, an actual box will pop up saying, "If you go do this now, you will go into the endgame sequence and then the game will end. If you have stuff to do, go do it now, then come back here."
Also, when you do trigger the endgame, the game will autosave, so you will definitely have a savegame right before it, should you decide to go back with the same character and play through other stuff.
Have you not done Old World Blues yet????????

when dealing with the Legate I tended to just let my really high speech skill work for me after punching my way to him with the Super Heated Power Fist from Big MT while wearing my Elite Riot Armor
Yep.
Speech. In New Vegas, it's pretty game-changing.

so is unarmed with the piercing strike perk and a good weapon only the centurions took more than 1 hit to kill

In my endgame, Veronica with a single punch dropped the legate down from full to 4 hp. It was glorious. I should have let her finish him off but I had a clear shot.
I did have Speech, but somehow picked the wrong choices to talk him down. I think watching Veronica crush his face was the better ending.

Fallout Rampage Cap'n Furiosa |

My wife loved Fury Road!
Things have going great so far as Furiosa, I'm 8th level, took Wild Wasteland and the one that increases critical hits at the cost of durability, I have ED-E and Veronica tagging along (who looks silly in a biker helmet) so far we've made it up to the Gun Runners, after clearing out RepConn and helping the Ghouls there crash and burn their rocketships to the moon or Sun or wherever.
Also ED-E f~&~s up Legion goon squads something fierce!
Oh, yes I'm going for more of a balance between guns and explosives and I got the companions way earlier so I've been making way more bank with the extra carrying capacity.

Did Dead Money starting at level 4 the other day...
Their level recommendations, I think, assume that you haven't been dumping all of your points into the non-combat skills involved in getting sweet, sweet lootz.
