What's the deal with Moldaver?
So, I liked the first season well enough, >!(even though nuking the NCR into near complete non-existence while the Brotherhood somehow pulls multiple airships out of thin air reeks of favoritism)!< but what's the deal with Moldaver?
She's built up as this infamous raider boss with a bounty on her head throughout the first half of the season, but then suddenly everything kind of changes to facilitate a big twist that she was actually with the NCR. But like, if she was working with/for the NCR the whole time (or at least some remnants attempting to uphold the ideals of the NCR) why did she besiege Vault 33 with a bunch of insane chem abusing raiders instead of the forces she was leading at the observatory?
She has a lot of innocent Vault Dwellers killed for no real reason at all, even though she knows for a fact that not a single one of them is aware of what Hank had done to Shady Sands. Are we supposed to think the raiders were part of the NCR remnant? That doesn't make much sense considering the rest of the force we see at the observatory. Did Moldaver just randomly hire a bunch of raiders for this job? If she hired them, why didn't they immediately turn on her for being NCR? Is there something I missed in an interview or behind the scenes video?
They also never explain how Moldaver is still alive ~220 years after the bombs, but that's a whole other can of worms.
