New Vegas Bounties III's plot actually includes an event which makes this decision logical In-Universe: Brookshire, the NCR official tasked to clean Frosthill from its bandits, turns out to be working with Marko and betray both Randall and the Courier to him. Fridge Brilliance: In the Vanilla game, many players who eventually choose the Wild Card ending previously acted as NCR allies, since many sidequests are NCR-oriented.

Marko is so contentious that an entire mod has been made specifically to rewrite him.

Others disagrees and think that Marko comes off as a worse Ulysses (ironic, given the author's dislike of the character), who gets constant Character Shilling and can't be called out at any point by the Courier during his numerous rants, on top of the points mentioned above. Some players thinks that he lives up well to his status as The Dreaded and proves to be an harrowing enemy for the Courier, being capable of outsmarting them and being quite tough to fight even for a high-leveled character.

Base-Breaking Character: Opinions on Marko's character varies strongly.
