Name 1, ONE, thing wrong with Mr. House's plans for New

How easy it is to kill him.

I'm a housefag myself but it's always irked me that you just walk 3 feet and use a computer

What happens when his gross wrinkly body eventually shuts down?

He's not yes man.

I just realized that I've probably been through this same argument 100+ times by this point in my life. And that's just the Mr. House side of things. This fictional character has commanded more of my time and attention then every real life political figure I've ever looked at and every election or primary I've voted in. I'm decently politically aware and could give you the rough outline of my senator's voting record, but that pales in comparison to the countless hours I've spent discussing this motherfucker right here.

I think I'll sit this one out guys. You should probably do the same.

Although I will admit that House has the best plan for Vegas, what happens once he's dead? It's not explained. He has the same problem Caesar has: he has this grandiose plan for the Mojave, but it will die with him.

>>383536814
>>383539563
That's only because he lets the Courier through 3/4ths of his security.

Just imagine your the legion getting in.
First you've got to get past the outer walls of Vegas. Get through all the NCR, the 3 families (assuming any loyalty), and securitrons. You have to blast your way through two sets of doors to get into the Lucky 38, with more securitrons inside. The elevator is won't work, there are no stairs, so you have climb up through the elevator shaft. All the way to the top floor. Securitrons on the upper levels could open the doors and rain down grenades and laser fire. Once they reach the top floor they have to deal with more securitrons. After that they need to be able to figure out how to get past the two computers, or blast through the walls and doors to get the elevator shaft to the reactor. After climbing down that shaft, then you can take out House.

>>383540527
>need to be able to figure out how to get past the two computers
But why? He didn't even put a password on them

I find it a bit weird that House's main motivation for the Securitron army is that he knows the NCR will turn around and capitulate Vegas once the threat of the Legion is gone and he doesn't have any leverage...

But once you have that leverage violent withdrawal from the NCR is the only option. I would have found it more fascinating if you and he could have tried to work the NCR under your own control as a wealthy new member state. Literally just down the street you make good chums with a powerful Brahmin baron, you telling me the Courier couldn't become Tandi 2.0 working alongside House? Would be a much better use of resources.

Of course it's actually in House's character to be wasteful and dismissive of potentially useful resources and mess everything up on misplaced desires for grandeur. Just look at the platinum chip shit.

>>383536823
GET HIM A BODYBAG
YEAH

>>383542870
The withdrawal doesn't have to be violent, just involve the threat of violence. You can talk Oliver into peacefully retreating.

The reason that House would never work within the NCR is because he knows that the federal government would never allow him the control over Vegas that he needs to enact his plan. Talking to the higher-ups in the NCR military or even casual citizens like Cass show that many people don't like how Vegas hoovers (pun intended) up money from the Republic. Best case scenario would be that Kimball taxes the shit out of House and cripples his finances and ability to fund space travel like he wants to do. Worst case scenario is that that warhawk Moore gets someone else to kill him behind the scenes after you refuse to.

>>383543454
Except all that stuff about not having enough autonomy and being undermined politcally by Kimball was predicated on a scenario where House doesn't have the upgraded Securitron army.

Once he does surely that changes everything?

My probably incorrect understanding of why house is "bad" is because he's fighting to preserve and restore a world which of course ended in nuclear war, that and he's only really after his own self interests

Honestly that's pretty flimsy, I typically go for house.

I'm playing fallout 4 for the first time and have gotten to the point where I have to choose between BoS and Institute, not sure which to do.

>>383540527

Or if you are the boomers just bomb his ass, boom done

Or are new vegas's air defenses still active

>>383542870
>I would have found it more fascinating if you and he could have tried to work the NCR under your own control as a wealthy new member state.
The NCR already hated his guts for not handing out Vegas in a silver platter and were trying for years to reach a better deal with him. Even when the current Ambassador was a-okay of leaving Vegas to House the military branch were trying to find ways to assassinate him.

If Vegas became a state you can bet you're sweet ass NCR will use all their power to try to bankrupt House and shut him down every chance they got.

>>383545140
God I hated the boomers. Worst faction in NV.

He's too perfect. As his number one man you can enjoy the best life possible while knowing he will make Vegas the best.

>>383544953
While House is also my favorite his problem is that just like the NCR if something doesn't interest him or he doesn't see anyway he could directly profit he has no problem with just crushing it. A big reason why Freeside and all of Outer Vegas is a shithole is because he chased down anyone who didn't lick his boots.

The problem is that the game did a poor job of showing House more as "brutal managerial" since apart from the BoS he doesn't give a shit of what the courrier does. If they ever decide to remake the game he should be more bossy and have very strict plans of what he wants you to do since it fits more with his obsessive chessmaster role of the game.

Isn't that from the original fallout?

>>383544674
If he's just the head of a corporation within the NCR (as the cut "House joins NCR" letter shows would have been the case), then Kimball will obviously point out that business owners don't get to own fully functional robot armies and order him to dismantle them or face retribution. Being an independent city-state is his best option.

No, he explicitly states in the cut agreement that he will be the CEO of the casino enterprise. He even promises to stop using his Securitrons as a police force.

>>383549414

>>383549604
No problem, I can see why you would think he would end up as the governor, but House knows the NCR far too well to believe that he'd get away with a position like that.

>>383540527
Caesar could just shoot the giant needle with his howitzers from 5 miles away

>>383542420
Not really much on him. The wiki only states he was the commander of the NCR camp on the long 15, and the fact he can operate a suit of power armour speaks volumes about his status.

That's all It has to say about him.

>>383552545
they didn't really need to really. I mean I am pretty sure they added him for fun in Lonesome Road. He's pretty difficult to beat and Lonesome Road sympathizes with players who have gone really far into the game.

>>383545416
Why is it people hate them? Honestly I think the retarded thing was pearl hoping someone would show up yet kept having everyone who stepped in blown up.

>>383552804
Because there's no grey with them. You have no choice between licking their boots or exterminating them. You're supposed to side with these chucklefucks calling you savage and just go along with it like a total beta. They're portrayed by the game as being in the right despite being just a bunch of hicks with explosives.

>>383552804
they were retarded. Every fucking person in the faction felt like the same boring as person. And they are pretty much the brotherhood of steel of the Mojave but instead they hoard explosives.

>>383536636
Don't care what anyone says, he was the best hope for Vegas. Vegas under the courier was basically at the whim of a douchebag who betrays everyone he works for. Most likely your character was a retard (based on stats), too, and had no idea how to run a city in the long term. It really makes no sense that the player would choose to support himself/herself over the superior option - someone who clearly had vision and a plan for the future that would have put humanity at its high point.

This is probably one of the reasons Fallout 3 fans didn't like New Vegas. The game presents the BoS how they were in the past games: a bunch of insular assholes that don't give a fuck about anything but their own interests. They only stepped up to fight super mutants because the entire world was at risk and even still they let the Vault Dweller do the brunt of their work. They found the BoS in New Vegas and were expecting them to be the "Steel Be With You" white knights and found themselves being talked down to by a bunch of assholes in power armor staring you down with the heaviest weaponry in-game. Don't get me wrong I like the BoS but they're by no means the good guys people think they are. It's almost like Fallout is a setting that's supposed to be full of moral ambiguity.

He's focused and driven, he doesn't have the same moralfaggotry blinding him that the NCR does.

Childhood is taking Yes Man's path because "lol take over new vegas for myself"
Adolescence is realizing that actually leading a powerful, prosperous region to further glory is difficult, and giving the reigns over to someone with a plan, even if they're a fast talking basement dwelling megalomaniac.
Adulthood comes when you come to realize that Vegas is better off in the hands of an actual established institution of society than they are in the hands of an autocrat of any color; even if that means aiding the cripplingly bureaucratic NCR, or the vicious, oft-inhumane grip of the legion.
True wisdom comes when you realize that the correct answer was Independence all along, not because you get to take power, but because no one does. Only under the revolutionary banner of anarchy can the people of New Vegas truly create a just, evolved society. even if there are growing pains.

You can't count anything the courier does, because the player can influence any faction to win. What you need to do is go off what the game tells you is happening, and what's happening is that the NCR is getting their shit pushed in by the Legion, despite the fact that they won the first battle.

I always see this espoused but never see support for it. The reason each major faction sends you scrambling over the map to deal with the minor factions is because they know it's up in the air and they'll need every advantage to tip the battle in their favor.

Except for the first battle of Hoover Dam, the NCR has lost most engagements afterwards, and even set an entire faction against them because of one great fuck up (the Khans and Bittersprings). Many of the NCR camps have been taken by the Legion, the NCR is infiltrated on many levels by the Legion, and the only way the NCR survives the final battle is through your efforts to kill Lanius. The NCR will have to fight on three fronts, one against the Khans, along with the Fiends, one against the Brotherhood, who no doubt will see the battle at the dam as an opportunity to retake Helios 1, and the Legion, who is united despite having incurred a significant loss in the first battle. On the other hand, you have a demoralized NCR, which is proven through many quests (one being that major camp, that I forget the name of, and that radio operator creating false reports, because he thinks the Legion will win, which they will). On top of all this, you have House practically gutting the NCR at every turn. It's pretty evident they are on a downward spiral and the second battle would no doubt be the end of the NCR.

I wouldn't mind it so much if it actually showed you moving quite a distance away, like with the legion, to see the impact you made far away.

BoS in Fallout 4 are nothing like the Fallout 3 Brotherhood. In 3 they are shining white knights who protect the wasteland from monsters, but in 4 they're an invading army led by a narcissistic sociopath. In 4 they're a lot closer to the original BoS, but they're far from the "default good guys" like you seem to think. That's the Minutemen.

>>383567786
Dead Money was the best new survival horror experience when it came out, and stayed on top for a good few years.

>sheltered
He's not sheltered mentally, I can tell you that much. He's hardly the emperor type either, he's not constantly expanding his reach outward into other territories, he's perfectly fine with minding to his own in New Vegas. The only problem is the NCR and The Legion want to take it from him even though he practically built it up himself along with help. You don't see him commanding every Strip owner around as if they're his pawns, he seems to not care at all. The whole point of New Vegas to him is to bring in money to fuel his goals.

>childishly violent streaks against anyone who might've argued against him or indirectly opposed him without purpose.

The BoS is a apparent threat to his primacy and everything he is goes against their beliefs. Has every right to be afraid of them. NCR wants to take everything from him, also warranted. The Legion are going to tear him out of his seat the first chance they get, also warranted. The Followers practically tried to hack into his network for medical information and you don't see him cracking down on them when he most definitely knew that they attempted it.

He's not perfect, he's extremely harsh in his methods but the wasteland is also a harsh environment that if you try and go against in you're likely to get eaten alive. House isn't exactly in a "open arms" position.

>>383567618
Have you played Fallout 1 or 2? The Brotherhood of Steel were literally madmen that hoarded technology at gunpoint and would perform purges on anyone they didn't like.

They are still the goody two shoes, except, liek you said, they are led by a blood night. I wouldn't call him a narcissistic sociopath, he's right on all teh issues. You're retarded if you think that muties/synths should be allowed in public. BOS in 4 are templar knights on a crusade, nothing more, just as they were in F3, except that in 3, they were led by a bleeding heart elder who wanted to defend everyone from the supermutants instead

>>383563436
I'd also agree, but imo, I thought the controls for FO4 were pretty decent, and on par with modern shooters.

I know FNV is an RPG first and foremost, but I found a few mods, like Project Nevada, that push it up a few more notches so I can really get into it. That being said, 150 hours on a first playthrough is working out so far.

>>383568046
That doesn't change the fact that they are still the "Good guys", just as the institute is considered the "bad guys". Like I said, this is as far as bethesda's writing can get, very little middle ground or 3 dimensional factions like nv/old fallouts had

And if you want to be more technical, BOS in 4 are a lot like BOS in tactics: Crusader knights who actively employ new recruits and want to take over the region. You must not have played that one, I suppose you were too young

NCR are trying to dethrone him and any allies to them are technically his enemies, I really don't see an issue with that mentality.

It is to complacent. It wants to rebuild the new world as a farce of the old. Sure you can say that of NCR and Legion but since its about house only ill keep it to him.

House wants to just live in a world that mimics his past life before the bombs. He with his blatant lying and wanting to be rid of the brotherhood of steel also clearly shows that he cares nothing about the new world and its new opportunity if they get in the way of rebuilding the old world he is fond of. House is essentially a small ,yet smart, minded man who only cares about himself and his small sphere of influence.


So in essence as that house is simply a man who cant let go and begin again. Just like the NCR and more so like the legion , who speak broken mix of Latin.

>>383569165
>Implying the Brotherhood are a progressive faction
As a whole they kind of are. They horde tech and shit yeah but they also give some away to people and groups who they deem will be responsible with it to help them out.

The brotherhood is made up of essentially non enclave soldiers from during the war who survived the bombs. They know how irresponsible man can be with dangerous and powerful shit. So their primary goal is to stop that from happening again.

So yeah you can argue they are dicks but even thought they are bullish their ideals and goals are about bettering the world as whole more so than just themselves.

They only argument one can genuinely use against them ,though a great one, is just that over generations many of the new and younger people have come to misunderstand the point of the shit they try to do. Since they being younger and growing up in a safer more stable way of life have come to view the things they due from a place of undue superiority.


>>383569225
and yeah he says that sure. but House is a really smart guy. So he would have to know just what the Brotherhood is all about and what it is they want to do. The courier has no need nor the chance to ever really know this. But as an outsider looking in knowing about the world and what the factions do and who they are. House blatantly lies to the courier and if he is not lying then it can be said that he is not as smart as the game implies and he is actually surprisingly dumb as fuck which then makes shit pointless since its only a matter of time till he is usurped since he is actually dumb as fuck then.

So house lies to person who has no real recourse to know better. So who is to say that that shit is not also lie to the courier for the sake of hype himself up and making the courier think better and higher of him.

House is simply just someone who lies to get what he want. And if one knows better how can one truly trust such a person?

And who says they're the ones who should hold all of that power? Them? No thanks, they've proven time and time again that they're just glossed savages with rifles that'll kill at the first suspicion information being leaked or treason. They've killed an entire Follower outpost just because an ex-member decided to join them. Plus, have you seen the amount of infighting that's going on in the BoS's bunker in the Mojave? A group of paladins were practically planning to overthrow their leader just because they didn't agree with his methods. Just as House put it, emotionally unstable techno fetishists.

House's goals are more thought out and progressive compared to them. They're all about hoarding technology and learning from that. House is all about forgetting the past and building a new one, innovating new technologies and establishing colonies on far away planets. He inspires that kind of organization clearly with Vegas, he could pull it off.

Who wins without courier involvement?
It's not house or benny that's for sure

Friendly reminder Avellone said he'd change much if he was to do New Vegas again. He did not like how Legion was portrayed and there was no rational reason why to side with them, there was clear pandering towards NCR.

>>383570415
What he said -> >>383570442
It's simple storytelling, really. The "good" faction finds itself at an "all time low" until the player comes in to save them.

Yeah, talking with Caesar is a bizarre experience in the game because he's describing a coherent vision for a society that has the capacity to rebuild; but all you see out of his followers is carnage.

Seeing them fleshed out into a coherent albeit ruthless faction would have made the game a lot more interesting. The faults of the NCR also should have gotten a little more playtime. They come off too easily as being the "good guys".

Having some way to pursue a Yes Man ending that doesn't end in total anarchy would have been nice too.

Because all you see is his army, we don't see any Legion occupied towns to see how different they are and what the locals think about them. Which is a fault of the game's time constraints.

Honestly tho, I liked that the game was balanced, but I modded the game so that their football armor has dogshit defense, like it should. Plays much more organically

>>383571363
Psychological / military attrition, deceptive tactics, inserting themselves into NCR ranks and leaking information, and all of their soldiers are ready to charge in and die for their cause. Plus those slave women are probably pumping out children like crazy that'll be soldiers in the next 14 or so years.

>>383571363
Because they're trained from young age to be hardenned in battle while the majority of NCR soldiers are just conscripts. Also the Legion has spies everywhere

>there was clear pandering towards NCR.
I thought it was more an issue of they had the deadline that couldn't be moved back so they just shipped the game with the legion missing most of its content.

>>383571617
Yeah, I get the story parts of the Legion, but there is no reason for them to be so powerful when they are wearing shitty armor and using melee weapons.

>>383571638
Goddamn why are Obsidian so fucking bad at finishing games? I guess it doesn't really matter anymore since all the good devs left.

>>383571683
Yeah, it's honestly pretty annoying how bulky they are health wise. I just assume it's a mix of rank and shit, like their experience due to rank influences how strong they are. Still doesn't make any sense why they can take an anti-material rifle shot at point blank.

He and the Legion both were way more authoritarian than I wanted for the future of the Mojave.
The NCR weren't competent or large enough to spread this far and actually keep the Mojave safe and controlled and have far too much bureaucracy.

I saw an Independent Vegas as the best solution short term.
Valued total freedom of the minor factions to operate as they want to within the Mojave.

I couldn't be bothered with having to rule over New Vegas for the foreseeable future. I want to be able to fuck off and do other stuff.

I have good relations with Mr. House and he pays well enough and leaves me well enough alone. If he ever becomes a dick it wouldn't be too hard to get rid of him.

Where as with an independent Vegas either you have to spend all your time, effort and money ruling with the risk of being toppled and killed or you invite raiders into the area if you leave it alone.

If you do OWB before ever seeing House in his life-support chamber, it's hard not to feel bad for him. He thinks he's discovered the ultimate in life-prolonging technology but none of his accomplishments have shit on what they accomplished in the Big MT, which the Courier now has complete access to.

>>383536636
He thought he could rule city the old (pre war) ways but slightly different to avoid the same mistakes.
But since you cant change the nature of a man and because old way worked so well in the past duh its obvious that House was a delusional remnant of the past.

>>383576646
Best ending is siding with house, then using the technology in big mt with helping him turn vegas into a stronghold of the old world

one of the biggest flaws with house's plan is his limited army, but there is a securitron plant right there. that solves one of the biggest problems right off the bat. big mt courier makes the space dream a distant reality, especially if the think tank isn't killed off

QUEST
that the NCR is full of a bunch of inept retards who have no idea what they're doing
It's full of people who want to help but they're constantly screwed over and ALL of their faults are at the forefront
Right off the fucking bat, you find out that the NCR correctional facility gets screwed and then the Powder Gangers become a thing all due to the faults of the NCR
Every single NCR settlement you run across is portrayed as despondent and rife with problems.
Fucking Primm gets fucked by raiders and the NCR is just sitting there on their asses not doing anything.
Every NPC complains about the limitations of the NCR brass. The farther you get into New Vegas the more it's apparent that they're horrendous and doomed for failure
God what's wrong with you people? Do you talk to any NPCs? There are very few who have nice things to say about the NCR

The NCR doesn't ban drinking, their outpost has a fucking bar.

>>383577480
But isn't that just until it becomes a proper part of the ncr instead of a frontier outpost?
In fallout 2 you're supposed to be arrested if found under the influence of alcohol or drugs in the NCR

I didn't kill him though I just left him there unable to control anything. Once things settle down I'll use some Big MT tech to put his brain in something else.

>>383577679
>But isn't that just until it becomes a proper part of the ncr instead of a frontier outpost?
They have a Sargent stationed there I highly doubt he'd allow it if was actually against the rules.
>In fallout 2 you're supposed to be arrested if found under the influence of alcohol or drugs in the NCR
"supposed" being the keyword? There are tons of alcohol to be found in and around NCR camps. I can understand buffout or med-x but they're stretched out enough as is, do you think they really arrest every single person they find drinking? If they do that is extremely retarded and it's no small wonder they are losing. Rads aside alcohol is probably the cleanest thing to drink in the Mojave.

I think it's just public intoxication that's illegal like it is in the USA nowadays so there could still be a bar. But not liking that law, and not being from america, fuck that. I want to be able to be drunk wherever I want

It's been forever since I've played 2 but I guess you're not wrong. In NV I never got the impression that it was enforced there.Especially on The Strip.
It could be public intoxication but that's not what that link infers to me. I just never got the impression that they cracked down on any alcohol usage just drugs when they could.

>>383577976
It seems like it. If you disconnect his cerebral control he's still blinking and moving, but sends out his "House is Dead" message anyway.
