Okay sure, I did that too when I first played the game at age 15 or whatever. But it took one playthrough to be like "these guys are burgerland clowns and their bullshit benefits nobody", so it didn't take me long to decide that no choice is any good and the least bad option is to hold off all challengers basically.

I don't view Wildcard as a personal dictatorship, I always took it that the Courier basically installs Yes Man for the security of the Strip, and then fucks (probably to The Divide) off a la the Vault Dweller and Chosen One. The endslides for Wildcard don't make it sound like a personal dictatorship...
