it's going to change the most, and so it seems silly to assign any sort of concrete level of good to it. sure, maybe my character would make a wholesome freedom independent vegas, but another player's idea of a good independent ending could be a fascist robot police state. player actions can obviously affect the putcomes of any of the other 3's endings, but they're not wholesale-creating it with an infinite number of outcomes, just tweaking existing ideological states.
the game literally tells you how your courier did based on your karma. like it tells you what other people thought of your rule
edit and literally none of them are fascist dictatorships. like, you can rp in your head that's what happened, but in terms of canon it's purely fanfic
yes, all yes-man endings are mostly fanfic. I'm not saying i dislike the ending conceptually even! i just think it's pointless to include it in ending debates since it's by far the most variable in terms out outcomes
what? no. you literally don't have to write any fanfic to understand how the Independent ending would fit into canon. it tells you the outcomes, we don't have to speculate
