      Also, Mr. House is also the person who saved the Courier using Victor. Victor dug the Courier and brought them to Mitchell not out of goodwill, but Mr. House's orders. He also saved Vegas from total nuclear destruction similar to Capital Wasteland. He deserves Vegas and whatever he plans to do with it.

    People call house evil for not helping Freeside but ignore the fact that the New Vegas strip took 7 years to be in the state its in by the events of the game. Not even a full decade as passed since House took control of the strip. Freeside is the result of House focusing his efforts on the strip proper, not him wanting to see others suffer.

      It is also worth noting, that in the post hoover dam cut content, you can see construction taking place to repair freeside. Freeside is how it is because Mr house can't repair it and when he has the resources he immediately gets to work. It's not good business to have a bear trap in your shop's doorway.

    I agree with the analysis. Mr. House might be amoral but he has standards and reciprocative loyalty. The courier ending through yes man is just selfish and doomed, the legion is unthinkably barbaric and destructive. The NCR...I can see why it looks good on paper but they'll just grind everything into bureaucratic corruption.
    Plus, I like House. He's Odo and Odo is great.

    I have switched from the NCR to house multiple times but without constant investments in the mojave. You know, to actually give education to people instead of sucking everything from them.
    He is wasting and limiting human development and capital to actually help him with his plan.
    That is why i went with yesman. So i can implement his plan better and have an educated population
    A centralised government with securitrons able to patrol and protect the mojave. But decentralised in everything local.

    With Good Karma Courier, he/she can influence House with many great idea that house can overlooked and helped common wastelanders.

  • @Alex_FRD
    @Alex_FRD 3 місяці тому +19

    House doesn't plan to tax the NCR heavily, quite the opposite, in fact. House sells purified water at 5 caps per gallon when the standard is 10 caps per bottle (of aprox. 500ml). There's 3785ml in a US gallon, divided by 500ml in a Fallout water bottle is 7.56, meaning that House is selling 7 1/2 times more water at half the price of the wasteland standard. With that price, he easily underbids ever water caravan in the NCR.

  • @plutoniumrocks
    @plutoniumrocks 3 місяці тому +20

    Something I noticed about House's obsession with Snowglobes is a neat connection between his goals and the snowglobes themselves. If you look at Vegas, House is rarely ever involved in the goings on. All he does is collect taxes, and sit in his Ivory Tower. (This behavior even nets him the nickname "Not-At-Home" by the Omertas). He's so disconnected that he had no clue about all the plans to overthrow him from the families. This idle observer behavior House has is very indicative of how he wants to run the New Vegas area at large. He wants to advance humanity, yes, but it's a bit like playing a game of civilization. You don't really care about day to day life in your groups, only caring about the bigger picture.
    Under House, the New Vegas area becomes similar to the same snowglobes he has just lying around. A little diorama in the wasteland, encased in a glass dome.

    I went with the NCR my first play through, and man, killing Mr. House left a very bad taste in my mouth. Hell, killing the BoS doesn’t even come close to the level of regret and guilt I felt after game ending House.
    Second play-through was a year or two afterward, and I chose to go with Mr. House during a personal phase where I believed debts owed must be paid in full (still do to a great extent). Yeah yeah, Mr. House technically was the one who put us in danger, but the Courier business is a hazardous one to begin with, especially in the Wasteland. Who’s to say that there aren’t plenty of other hazardous “cargo” Couriers carry that would draw the eyes of certain parties?
    More so, Mr. House didn’t need to dig the player out of that grave; there are plenty of professional mercenaries and contractors who he could have chose from to recover the Platinum Chip, and yet he put a vested interest in seeing that the player was the one who did it.
    All in all, when I learned that Mr. House was planning to get humanity back on its feet on a quick time scale, I was completely sold to his cause. Autocrat he may be, but he’s the best chance the species has at this point, and so I’m putting my bets, and blood, behind his cause.

      The Great War was a huge and costly mistake.
      But before that, the pre-war world mostly WORKED.
      It would have worked even better if the US shared nuclear power technology with other countries. It would have reduced the need for resource wars and stopped the Chinese invasion out of desperation sue to severe resource shortages.
      Hopefully, Mr House can temper the might of capitalism with the wisdom gained from needless selfishness that started atomic armageddon.

    Quick correction, independent Vegas does not put you (or even Yes Man) in charge. The power vacuum begins almost immediately, and frankly, you just started what Mr House wanted to avoid. The securitron army has an expiration date, and just because a faction likes you, doesn't mean they will listen without a fight.

    The legion can't exist without Caesar but it can without Edward Sallow. Lanius would be a good Caesar, he's a very competent individual. Legion has a superior martial ethos compared to NCR and House and can reform wild triabls into well-spoken agents that can perform fairly high levels of espionage without the Caesar's direct involvement. What Edward Sallow built isn't an upside down pyramid that rests on him, though in an ironic twist that's almost exactly how House plans to build humanity up and his plans rely too much on things outside of his control.
    I do think though how House rules in the game is fine, in game and in lore it's hard to have confidence in the NCR taking control over the Mojave. Really enjoyed the video!

      And I doubt House would approve of wiping out peaceful settlements like University Point rather than making a deal or alliance for the data.
