Mod:Fallout: The Frontier/I Am Legion

I Am Legion is the first main quest in the Northern Legion quest line, granted upon asking to join the Legion during A Bridge Too Far.

Quick walkthrough

 * Talk to and follow Callidus Praceo
 * Survive the unarmed beatdown by your fellow Legionnaires
 * Deal with Yuri Osmo
 * Kill Bizmark and Warren or talk your way around it (Speech 69)

Detailed walkthrough
After asking to join the Northern Legion during A Bridge Too Far, which requires high positive Reputation with the Legion in the Mojave, you'll find yourself transported to the Ostia Dungeons without any items and fitted with a slave collar. After a brief chat with Bizmark, you'll be asked to follow and obey Callidus Praceo. Openly disobeying Callidus at any time will result in the collar being activated and your head exploding.

Your first task: survive a beatdown from four unarmed Legion Gladiators. Callidus will hand you six Synthetic Healing Powders to use during the ordeal; a Barter 40 check will net you an additional four.

Next, you'll have to execute a captured NCR soldier named Yuri Osmo. He can't fight back, so this shouldn't be too difficult.

Finally, you'll be asked to kill your fellow Legion initiates, Bizmark and Warren; only one may join the Legion proper. (Editor's note: This doesn't seem accurate and it seems you're supposed to kill both of them since the other will turn hostile if you attack one.) Either do so, or with Speech 69 make the argument that further bloodshed's a waste of resources. Unfortunately for your fellow would-be Legionnaires, Callidus will simply detonate their slave collars personally, but he's impressed by your silver tongue.

Either way, you'll have passed your tests and be taken to Legate Valerius. Welcome to the Legion. Be sure to grab your items in a small box under a table in Valerius' office.

Rewards

 * 500 XP
 * Membership in the Northern Legion
 * Legion Recruit Armor (Snow)
 * 6-10 Synthetic Healing Powders
 * Key to a room in Ostia, located near the library

Behind the Scenes
This quest has a minor inconsistency with the prescribed lore. It is mentioned that the player "killed numerous legionaries", however at this point that had not occurred. This inconsistency was not caught early enough to rewrite, so it was written as Scavs who were undercover Legion soldiers.

I am Legion was also the first and only major scripted quest done for the Legion. The heavily scripted, NCR main quest style elements were not used again for any other parts of the main quest. The quest scripting also had to be re-written multiple times due to a few major issues that kept cropping up, as this was quite early on in the development.

It was considered at multiple points in development to re-write this first quest to allow for a more natural implementation into the world, allowing the player to join the Legion at any point. However, more pressing issues with development prevented the developers from finalizing these changes.
