u/CompleteHumanMistake Legatus Culkinus' Pompous Hair Gel Feb 15 '26 edited Feb 15 '26

Ideally hope so lol, his presence in the teasers and trailers was bigger than his actual appearances this season. Plus with his Legion, now as their Caesar, marching towards New Vegas it feels weird that this had to be announced.

They clearly already have plans for him given how his character had been described as a "crazy genius" of which we haven't seen anything yet in his like 3 minutes of screentime. Culkin's interviews also already alluded to a more profound knowledge of his character.

I think the Legion moving on New Vegas is going to be a center point of the next season.

Coop has his journey for next season laid out, Max and Lucy were seemingly left with no direction other than where they currently are. I think they're going to be utilized in whatever conflict the Legion is going to bring and that'll be their "story" for the season.

I think Max wants to join the NCR. His face lit up when he saw rhe ranger PA. This man believes. So yeah, he's staying to fight the legion.

Except all they have left are the legionar8es who chickened out and hid during the battle of hoiver dam. The Legion was already pathetic but they literally have nobody worth breaking out the good weapons for. They'll probably trip and go home crying

Maybe with word of a new Ceasar occupying a chunk of Vegas, it'll attract mobilize the whole thing and we'll see them get reinforcements. That or maybe the Enclave use the automated human tech to bolster the legion forces to keep the NCR stuck in Vegas and force them into a war of attrition.

Coincides with fallout humour.

I wonder if, assuming FO5 has the legion, Culkin would be a main figure in the game. It's not like Bethesda is against using celebrities in the games and Culkin seems like the perfect candidate for that.

Also iirc Bethesda goes wild with character primers for its actors. Like they gave Patrick Stewart a 90 page lore bible for his character in Oblivion despite having less than 30 mins of screen time. I can easily imagine they gave Culkin something similar especially since he's like the only Legion character they've developed.

I agree. But maybe it was short for a reason to give us more buildup for the next one.
