@@sirwombat1858 now I have a new idea for a playthrough.
@@Slavesforsale1 i need that SOOOOO bad!
My personal head canon is that House insisted the data case be made into the form of a casino chip for purely aesthetics and they said "ok but thats gonna push us back a day".
Hahaha. I can imagine that so well
That's peak Fallout universe
No one would think a giant casino chip was weird going into a casino. It wasn't wrong to make it like that.
@@richardarriaga6271no one would bat an eye if the Robco CEO requested a special holotape with high tech software, he already installed laser defenses on top of the lucky 38, and nobody cared. He has no reason to hide the chip before the war. He simply loves a dramatic flair.
Imagine coming out the vaults to a more advanced world than when you entered
then just for the dwellers of 76 to ruin it all with appalachias near infinite supply of nukes
@@ricardoamaris9442"americas best and brightest" LOL yeah right
That's why you always side with the Institute in FO4.
@@ricardoamaris9442still don’t believe the us government would leave nukes near the sister fucking, meth smoking, crack snorting, hillbillies with guns
@citizenwayne4550 no? the institute doesn't care about anyone on the surface. shaun's whole post-bunker hill dialogue is him saying "screw the surface this world is dead" and the end of the institute questline is destroying any potential unifying force in the commonwealth and then becoming self-sustaining so they can afford to care even less about the surface than before. Yeah, Sole Survivor as Director, I know, but a bunch of sociopathic scientists with god complexes dont seem likely to actually listen to any ideas that dont support the track theyre already on, especially not if the ideas are coming from someone who doesnt have 2 phds or whatever
Well, obviously, we would have industry restored after 20 years, space flight in 50, and colony ships by the time the sole survivor was defrosted
imagine being the sole survivor in that situation. when you entered the vault you saw your city getting nuked, then when you leave the vault it somehow looks better then before you went in

@@owoberon4947 For clarification, House never expanded beyond the walls of Eden, he wasn't interested in ruling the irradiated wastes.
@@rickrossome8801
House makes it clear he doesn’t care for humanity; at least not in a Unitarian sense.
Basically House delivered upon everything he said he would and more:
_"Give me 20 years and I'll reignite the technology sectors. 50 years and I'll have people in orbit, 100 years and my colony ships will be heading towards the stars to search for planets unpolluted by the wrath of a bygone generation"_
nice
This video was an amazing work by the channel owner, but few people realize that the video assumes that House was telling the truth about everything he wanted to (and could) do. Would be really cool to get an alternative version of this story speculating on what would happen if House was actually full of sh*t just like the real life libertarians he was inspired by (lmao).

Lol you’re good house thought he had one more day than he did to prepare. He had the chip printed the day before the Great War began and it was supposed to be delivered by a private courier the next day, but he was off by one day in his calculations.

Anyone else think it’s ironic that Vegas, a city built on sin-industries and the exploitation of human addiction, becomes the safe haven for humanity and is rebranded as “Eden”?
Interesting never thought of that
Well, Caesar wanted it to be his Rome.
Well, the Casinos will still probably be open.
Las vegas was originally founded by mormons so it kind of makes sense.
God damn the writing New Vegas is really well done. I guess that’s where they got the inspiration for Joshua Graham too.
One minor criticism, he wouldn't need to send the platinum chip to the vault since he would still have complete remote access. The nukes made him lose that access so it required the manual connection.
Perhaps the upgrade couldn’t be sent over using just the towers radio signal
Damn listened to the whole thing physical access did catch my mind but bots be about and normal life the day before
In short: if Mr house got the platinum chip early the wasteland wouldn't have been so bad and it would have been kinda liveable around Vegas

Not gonna lie, this hast to be the most optimistic alternate alternate history for the Fallout timeline. Stories of rebuilding after such a cataclysmic event are really inspiring to me.

@@flyingfoamtv2169 I just like settlement building. It's fun for me
I finished fo4 without ever playing with the settlement system, because it has no narrative value beyond a sandbox for someone to build sand castles in. Literally
I like to think The Desert Rangers/11th Armored Cavalry Regiment all were given some sort of military honors for their service.
There was a monument built in the middle of Hopeville honouring the 11th ACR. The Desert Rangers also became a legend of mythical proportions in the wastes, but no, they wouldn't have received military honours as a lot of information about what happened in Hopeville is unknown and many of the soldiers were MIA anyway.
@@TheOmegaInitiative Ah well, at least they got some recognition.
By the way, it’s cavalry, Calvary is a whole very different thing, lol
I would like to think the 11th ACR was trained by US army rangers and was ranger grade in fighting qual
I honestly like the rangers being separate from the NCR. Reminds me of wasteland (I think that's what the game before fallout 1 was called)
This alternate timeline sounds like the perfect setting for a Fallout Tabletop RPG.
Just enough civilization to allow for different styles of adventuring or player choices, but still more than enough chaos and classic Fallout wasteland to make it an amazing sandbox.
Here's what that would look like: ua-cam.com/video/nR0_YGg991s/v-deo.html

Shame Mr. Auberjonois is no longer with us to reprise House should this idea ever be made into a full spinoff game 😔
I was wondering where you were going building up to House's moon colony, because it looked like it was just going to be rather anticlimactic- "yeah, he said he would do it, then he did"- and then I said "oh, shit!" out loud when you reminded me that the Fallout universe has canonical extra-terrestrials, complete with alien motherships. _Nice._
Completely forgot about mothership Zeta when it came to that
I still personally like to ignore the aliens as a glorified easter-egg, but this integrated them well.
It's hard to kill House. Even without the Platinum Chip he has things moving in this general direction.
So true he’s obviously the best hope for humanity in general, the ncr is them surviving while House is humanity flourishing
Bro, without the Platinum Chip and the Courier's intervention, House would be completely fucked. Assuming that nobody interferes, the Legion would beat NCR at the Dam and take over the region, including Vegas and Strip. NCR is stretched way too thin and doesn't have nearly enough supplies for this war. Omertas and the Chairman both are looking to betray House while White Gloves are trying to go back to being cannibals. House is out of allies and options, surrounded by two-faced traitors who are waiting for an opportunity to strike him down. On a greater scale, he's surrounded by 2 powers of which one is dominant and conquering. The Securitron vault is his one saving grace but without the Chip he can't utilize it.
@@Mannnnnnnn Without the chip his Casino is mostly empty and filled with bots like you see in NV.
@@lilyschrodingy3600 how does that change anything lmfao

Moral of the story: Always chose same day delivery
But serious, good job on another fantastic what if scenario, it's rare for me to see people flash out those so far ahead and with such detail; Keep it up!
I know that when mr. House got that chip he went "damn, I really should have bought Amazon when I had the chance."

Ironic...it seems that the only person who has a slightly tragic end is house himself. Who like a parent can watch his children grow without his guidance, but lost the only man he ever called a friend. Even if he would never admit it
I feel like house is one of the best ways to have a character who seems like his motives are selfish, and yet everything he does helps everyone
Selfishly selfless.
Most likely because him being selfish would mean to do everything for his profit and in this AU best for him is pretty good for everyone else.
That's the good thing about most guinness and scientists - they really don't care that much about politics, ideologies and petty squabbles with one another, they just want to create and invent things that would benefit everyone in the end. I would choose and follow any mad scientist than any politician or ideologies, who only seeks to divide people into groups and factions.

Outer Worlds being the timeline where the great war never happened/humanity recovered is an awesome idea
@@socialaccount0000 Well, maybe. To me, the universe of the Outer World's implies a distinct lack of social responsibility caused by rampant capitalism. Could this take place in our timeline? Yes. But, does it make a significant amount of sense in a House timeline? Oh, absolutely.
If Mr. House already had the Platinum Chip on time before October 23, 2077, then this version of the Fallout Universe might turn out almost exactly like The Outer Worlds Universe with some differences to the timeline by a few decades.

I sided with Mr. House because this is exactly what I thought would happen. I enjoyed this alternate storyline so much I probably will re-watch it a few times!
That's exactly why I side with House in most of my playthroughs too.
Agreed. But its an incredibly difficult decision for me every time because I love Veronica and I don't want to disappoint her by slaughtering her family...
Yup, same here, I seriously hope the Mr. House ending of new vegas is the canon ending so that we can eventually see all these advancements in a future fallout game, that hopefully has the same weight of choices that new vegas had.
@@triplecrosscounter There is a theory, if you want to call it that, that "The Outter Worlds" is "the canon version of the Mr. House ending". It has some sense, and it would make as bittersweet as a many Fallout decisions come.
I haven't researched too much on that topic tho.
Mr. House ending + the 100 barter option with General Oliver, is undoubtedly the best ending for the future of the west.
Instead of “Followers of the Apocalypse”, House’s colleges would put out “Scholars of the Apocalypse”
Regardless of whether he received the chip on time or not, Vegas would remain the wildest place in America
Tbh yeah that’s true
Viva Las Vegas!
Yes it is still and always will be a wild wasteland
I like that the one thing keeping house from totally dominating the region is the mail coming late
People never give house enough credit, I actually sided with him in my playthrough of new vegas since he’s frankly the only one out of all the factions that seemed to promise any sort of progress at all for humanity on top of having plans far beyond
Step 1: take the dam.
Step 2: take everything else.
Step 3: profit.
As someone who sides with House in most playthroughs, I can appreciate what you went through in order to write, record and edit this together. I'm sure Rene Auberjonois would be proud his character inspires this kind of work all these years later.

I could still see some elements of Fallout canon still happening even after Mr House accomplish everything.
If the Brotherhood of Steel still rose at Mariposa, established as it is and discovers Eden, they'll be shocked beyond comprehension of the advanced technology and paradise that the people of the latter had developed. A dilemma would develop among the Elders, weather they should invade Eden and claim the technology for themselves just keep it out from those they deemed "unworthy," or they should established relations with them?
Same thing with the NCR, if they send expedition teams to the East, they would come across Eden and report it back to their superiors and the same dilemma would occur, annex Eden or establish relations with them.
I imagine the ncr would first consider a invasion upon realizing through infiltration scout s they have nuclear weapons a air force that can dominate any battlefield and space technology they choose to make contact peacefully .
After tense negotiation s the ncr with pre war manufacturing mostly intact offered their service s in manufacturing and space to expand the Eden colony in exchange for access to some of their advanced technology to improve their lives .
5 years later the ncr has become a client state in talks of adjoining with Vegas as seat of a new parliament.
The original Brotherhood (not Maxson's Fallout 4 crap) is keeping tech but also protections, I think they will recognise House because he is Ms House after all, they probably want to be allies, there would be disagreement yes, but its unlikely they will be enemies. Atleast I think so
This takes place directly after the bombs dropped. The Brotherhood of Steel are probably the former military members that join Mr. House. The NCR wasn’t even established until the start of Fallout 2, so everyone is still in their vaults.
@@spicyair710 no, the brotherhood was created by soldiers from mariposa base directly after the war.
I think the NCR and BOS if they are established in this timeline
Would either be threaten by the existence of Eden, and do a similar thing to Omegas recent vid (BoS win at Helios) or would fight against each other as The BOS thinks this Eden is wrong (unlikely)
Honestly, there should be more What Ifs for Fallout. In a universe where so many things went wrong, it’s crazy to see more people don’t make universes where things went *right*.
Mr House would’ve loved the Institute. He would want to turn himself into a Gen 3 Synth and have an army of Synths

@@greenearth975 Imo, House would only become a Synth after Heavy testing of their mental prowess and how much personality can be stored in their brains.
House is selfish and acts prude but it one of things were he wins big, everyone gets a moderate win too since he doesn't "Muck" around too much. House would mostly just want to set everything up for Success then just relax content after he sees the rockets fly off.
"You think you can come in here and ransom my property to me. I spent two sentries looking for the platinum chip it's MY invention MY PROPERTY MINE" -Mr house

"now be a good courier and deliver it"
“haha basement elevator go brr” - The courier
Dude serious props for how much time and general Fallout knowledge this must have taken to theory-craft all this out. I absolutely loved listening to what might have been with Mr. House.
I've never played Fallout and I only have a passing grasp on the plot. But man this story was awesome. The 11th showing up like the legion of the damned from 40k to clear out the water plant was so sick
"...only useful during the Great War..." - I beg to differ! The Lasers of the Lucky 38 can reach (almost) any point in the game, so it can probably be used at least as air-defense-system, if not as a direct fire-weapon against attackers (sadly it is never seen in the game, but if we take a look at Helios I, then we know how effective laser-weapons can be...you can wipe out most of the NCR there if you use the defense-system against them and the C-Finder is nice, too...imagine using that to ambush an NCR-Convoy! Blast them with the laser-artillery and have the Securitrons fire their missiles ballistically like artillery and you can basically wipe out entire units from a distance!)
Assuming it only has anti-air capabilities, it's only useful against aerial targets, of which are very rare in the post-apocalyptic world.

Only thing I could think of that would make a part 2 is if Eden went to war with the Zetan civilization.

Keep up the good work man, take your time how ever long you need for another video if you decide on one x
Considering how short of time House got all this accomplished, the Institute would still be in its infancy, I wonder if they show up on House's radar at any point
Assuming their mode of operation is as discrete as in the main timeline, it's quite possible they manage to retain their self sustaining underground complex for quite some time before either becoming aware of House's paradise and deciding to reveal themselves or House's various forms of surveillance stumbling across them and establishing contact.
From there, unless they've gotten deep into the ultra-isolationist bent, it's likely they peacefully collude with House and their technology is absorbed into the greater fold of Eden's efforts, bringing high level AI to the world at large, leading to massive increases in efficiency and automation potential, allowing the technocratic vision to unfold even faster--pair that with things like the alien technology and The GECK and you can have unmanned FTL vessels terraforming whole solar systems and/or things like self building Dyson Spheres.
Throw in the advancements in bio-engineering that FEV research and the alien tech used to create the 'abominations' have provided and on top of that you can have humans with perfectly engineered DNA living on planets they can fill with 'designer' organisms, being anything from purely helpful bacteria which eats pollutants and fertilizes soil, to perfect crops which give incredible yields while being literally engineered to be as energy efficient as possible, to pets algorithmically designed for cuteness or whatever else--bit of a tangent there but you get the idea, a sort of super civilization that can essentially play god at will in nearly every way it sees fit.
Of course, a lot of this depends on fantastical fictional technology but the interesting thing is when people discuss these hypothetical scenarios they don't often really boil down just how multifaceted some of these technologies could really be and how absolutely powerful they can make humanity.
@@ultimaweapon991 Its actually quite sad when you think about the bits an pieces of old world technology fallout. The world is at the brink of utopia with the technologies around the world, just waiting to be combined together, cut short by nuclear war.

@@JRYYD Because I wasn't interested in negating the importance of time, I wanted it to be one cohesive story that could occur within livable amount of time. House also started off with a massive disadvantage in New Vegas, Mr House admits that it would take him years after victory to restart technological development, in this scenario he already has advanced technology sectors still intact and there's plenty of pre-war scientists.
@@andrewmannson7543 Most of China becomes an absolute hellscape from the American bombardment during the great war, save for the American controlled territory, which mostly survived and grew into a small American like nation in the remains of China with a stark military hierarchy.
My god, I just realized why Sim Settlements 2 ASAMS were made by robco, it was part of house's plan to rebuild.
I watch a lot of 'what if' type videos and this is probably the best of them all. The writing is incredible. The far reaching ramifications of nearly every action is fully explored. Even the characters seemingly created for this story were fleshed out to the point where I actually cared what happened to them. Great job! Please write more!!
Who would of guess not crashing every 5 seconds, Mr.House would be able to do everything he wanted to do and then some.
Had chills when the General contacted the Oil Rig and the fight to stay loyal to the "traitors in chief" or stick with House
You are a true artist. That Enclave Video was awesome and this one is great too. Keep up the good work, your channel is a gold mine of quality content.
I gotta say I really do appreciate how you split your videos up. It makes it easier to watch.
The Unity seeing Super Space Mechanized Space Marines from Eden arrive in Mariposa with Alien Powered Gunships and wiping out everything in 10 minutes:
I have an idea: what if the Courier never destroyed Hopeville and Ashton
For Hopeville it would probably turned into a new battlefield, a piece of territory that would lose the "Hope" ..heh it had for a future that would be destroyed from the Imperialism of the NCR or the brutality of Caesar Legion
Ashton............what did he do there again?
@@czaroftheempire5715 Ashton is a nearby town, it was also destroyed when the Courier created the Divide.
@@beepbop6542 thanks for info
Ulysses would cope less, that's about it
You know, that would be a pretty interesting idea.
Considering that Ulysses already was planning as the Courier arrived, it would probably be a story of him trying to drive out the large NCR presence in the area while also trying to hunt down and betray his fellow Frumentarri in disguise, all against the backdrop of a race against time, as the first battle for Hoover Dam approaches.
This is one of the best Fallout ‘what if’ scenario videos I have ever seen for the fallout series. So incredibly detailed and fleshed out. Keep it up!
This is one of the best you’ve done so far, looking forward to more
This was so wonderfully written and thought out so thorough!!! Such a great piece in only 40ish minutes!!! Stumbled on this while looking through other Fallout content, definitely going to checkout your playlists!!! Thanks for a great video!!!
Hardly. A lot of the assumptions made are just outright clownish. If you change those to actually representative to what is logical, you will force to change the whole story which invalidate the whole video from the start.
These alternate fallout scenarios are always a treat you did an incredible job.
Hey, Omega? Would you be willing to do a vid about a timeline where instead of the Brotherhood winning Falout 3, Colonel Autumn successfully beat the BoS & used the Purifier to gain the loyalty & support of the wasteland populace?
A lot of people overlook the fact that Colonel Autumn never wanted to commit genocide. He was one of the few people who actually wanted to recruit wastelanders. I would love to see you make a video on if he won during the events of F3.
If a timeline like that did happen at what point would the two worlds split as given the fact the player was raised by the farther to believe in project purity I don't think they would give up the code wilily to the Enclave.
That's my next "what if?"
@@TheOmegaInitiative i like your content keep it up
There is a series of fanfiction based on if the Lone Wanderer sided with Autumn. Look up "Autumn Morning".
@@ianlewis523 Is it as visual graphic-novel story or is it read-only?
This is the first one of your video's i've seen, Genuinely enjoyable and well written. I've never watched a 40 minute video so quickly lol.
just found this channel like a week ago, and I love every minute I've watched so far. Keep up the Awesome work!
Always a Pleasure when you upload, Not really Alternate History but would love to see you take on a Institute Victory in Fallout 4!
I really don't get that angle people take. Am I expected to use "logic" to determine the entire outcome? When dealing with something as variable as literal existence, most outcomes are still legitimate possibilities. The way I create the story is obviously supposed to be such, a story, but that doesn't make it any less likely to happen.
@@TheOmegaInitiative It would be fun to watch you take The Institute and show what a compassionate director could do with their tech and resources, I mean House is great and all, but his tech doesn't hold a candle to what The Institute could really manufacture if they put their minds to it, I mean they gave Kellog an implant that made the guy either ageless or at least slowed his aging process down considerably! Now think about them making vehicles (Vertibirds should easily be possible, Road-Vehicles, too), power armor, medical devices etc.)
@@TheOmegaInitiative I think the whole space stuff what a little far fetched, but i still really liked the video, andi love the rest of your videos too. You're probably the best fallout youtuber out there, you're certainly my favourite at least
@@ollonet9965 Well that's why I didn't dedicate too much time to it. The Pearl Harbour chapter was meant as the finale, the space chapter was just tying up all the loose ends.
@@TheOmegaInitiative i completly agree. I love these long story videos. You are a great story teller. Keep it up
That was beautiful. Seeing the Army and House working together, doing their work morally, is a soothing and wonderful story. Well done!
What a great video! You are a hell of a story teller.The mothership zeta twist was a very nice touch!
I can tell you've put a lot of time into this. Keep up the good work. Earned yourself another subscriber.
These what ifs are amazing. Storytelling is completely lore-accurate, a good story that makes sense, and believable characters.
Also quite unique. I don't see a lot of what-ifs about Fallout. Especially good ones. Good quality as always and keep up the good work.
Considering none of the bombs landed in or around Vegas, LVPD and other law enforcements from the surrounding counties would've been able to provide support. This would effectively add another layer of defense against the raiders as they would have to fight through them too. If they managed to coordinate personnel and resources under the leadership of the Governor or Mr. House, they would've had a good chance to coordinate an effective resistance. Enough for the National Guard and the 11th to arrive and aid them.
WOW…
You *really* thought this through, the only addition you could’ve made would’ve been having the current date in the counter to keep track of time.
Fantastic alternative fictional history!
I don't always try out videos from other UA-camrs that I have not been watching for a long time but I tried this video out and I really liked your voice 5 seconds into the video and I liked and subscribed that second and the rest of the video was great keep up the good work man I love it
The only problem I have with this is the Oil Rig. Control Station Enclave was said to be protected by "Poseidon Guns" that could easily shoot down anything that attempted to approach it. I know that during the events of Fallout 2 this is referring to the oil tanker but I doubt the rig wouldn't have anti-icbm defenses if it was the Enclave's designated fallback point. I don't think a single nuke would get through, and the retaliatory strike by The Enclave would be overwhelming.
The Enclave couldn’t retaliate because in fallout 2, the self destruct from Horrigan takes some time and gives the chosen one and probably some Enclave scientists and soldiers time to escape, while the icbm missles that mr house shot obliterated the oil rig almost instantly so the Enclave got completely destroyed, and if there was some soldiers left they couldn’t have enough power to effectively retaliate against all the securitrons and the army and the Air Force. But the Poseidon anti air maybe could take out the missles, but Mr house still has a bigger force than the enclave and even when they aren’t at the oil rig he could send missles and bombs then, rendering the enclave powerless against mr house
@@extrachezy703 I mean most probably gave up their Enclave past and settle down somewhere in their life after the events of Fallout 1,2,and 3 and the Enclave remnants we meet near Jacobstown are already too old to be soldiers. Either the President somewhere and his fellow soldiers have a way to reproduce more units by reproduction or controlled recruiting, sustainable station, and some resources to produce high-tech power armor then they can retaliate after years later but I doubt it since major known key point locations used by the enclave are destroyed by the main characters. Maybe in future fallout games there is one bunker that houses numerous enclave units and are waiting for someone to get orders from the president to re claim america once again.
@@starwolfcyberlight4546 If I had a guess for those locations which I do believe exist, is in the Tennessee mountains near Knoxville, or area's of low risk to the Nuclear holocaust of prewar America, I would think of North and south Dakota and probably Kentucky or Area's in North and south Carolina.
Kinda like West Virginia with White springs in Fallout 76
You're fanfiction is simply great and enjoyable to listen to. Way higher quality in involving existing lore than Bethesda does. They would do the whole community a huge service in hireing you for writing the future of the franecise. Even if something alike would mark the last entry of the Fallout Story, I would glady take it.
It's also cool to see a Fallout world that's actually post-Great War by a few years and the collapse of civilization with the named characters who barely held out rallying to Mr House, we don't see a lot of those
What is this channel! This is brilliant, it's my favourite games, but only their fabulous lore hypothesising, and a deep dive version at that. This should've always existed!
This was absolutely incredibly my friend seriously absolutely incredible I cannot begin to tell you how much I loved this absolutely amazing story telling and I really hope you make another video like this in the Fallout franchise
Here's a good recommendation for the next one. This topic has NEVER been covered by anyone apart from me, back in 2018. (Yeah I'm being bold, but i'm also correct): Civil Defense Administration as a faction. Civil Defense was the real world equivalent of Vault-Tec that existed in America during the 1940s, 1950s-1970s. Except they weren't evil, they were entirely competent, and despite what your History textbooks say about it, they spread no propaganda about Duck & Cover; all of it was legitimate information. Civil Defense undoubtable exists in the Fallout Universe. As far back as Fallout 2 we see reference to them, then in Fallout 3, NV, 4 and 76 we get posters about Civil Defense seen all over the place. In Fallout 3 we even get a little lore, being it's apparent connection to the NCRA.
Dawg, wtf is your channel
Not gonna lie, this was awesome. I would love to see something like this actually happen in the lore. Society actually rebuilding to this extent.
I am just amazed at the amount of theorization that has been put into this video. Every time I have a rebuttal, I remember something from the series that points me towards "Hes probably right tbh." Fantastic stuff man!
Listened to this on my way to work. Made my life a little better. I really enjoyed this, thank you
finally, the real questions are being asked!
Figured I’d see you here
I would have loved to see a larger Enclave presence, or at least hint of what happened to them after the nuke was launched at the oil rig. Whether Enclave on the East Coast sent out a small recon team or Mr. House found them would have been cool to see, however we do know that the Appalachian Enclave suffered internal conflict causing their deaths and an Enclave presence in Raven Rock is unconfirmed. But my biased opinion changes nothing and I still think this and the previous alternate history video are masterpieces.
HEY! REMEMBER ME? WE WERE IN THE SAME UNIT! EVENING FROM HOPEVILLE
Appalachian Enclave? Brother, no self respecting Fallout Fan considers that Dumpster Fire Canon. Fun to play with Friends, yes, Canon? No!
@@CazzyVR Honestly, for as subpar it is as a game, 76 actually has a lot of cool stuff going on lore-wise (BoS shenanigans aside).
A brilliant masterpiece in story telling and video editing. Thank you.
Enjoyed every minute of this. Thank you!
This truly brings a tear to my eye, it's so beautiful.
That was SO good. It answered every question in my head from when I was playing New Vegas and thought about what if House got the Chip a day earlier. As with your previous two theories, absolutely fantastic job! I'm eagerly awaiting your next Fallout theory video!
Really well thought out. Lots of fun to watch. Thanks!
This was amazing! Well done! Great story & storytelling xx
🎶 _Cause in heaven well,_ 🎶

Would be really interesting to see how an interaction with the NCR would look like in this setting. A rebulding nation meeting an already advanced nation. But either way no, no matter the timeline, I'd imagine that the "post-post apocalyptic" territory of the united states will look drastically diffrent than the old world nationwise.
Even though I usually side with the NCR, in this timeline I would full out go house lol.
Id love to see ceasers legion go up against this vegas. Half the legion troops would probably be wiped out in a year.
Honestly impressed by the level of detail you put into this alternate timeline, this felt like a full novel. Absolutely impeccable
You put a lot into this , well done 👍🏻
This was well written and thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you for sharing this.
"The police force effectively stopping all crime"
That's pure fantasy
Not in a police state where things like privacy aren't respected. So it's the same old tradeoff. Security vs Freedom.
chaos vs order, probably an acceptable tradeoff to getting devoured by irradiated ghouls or surprise deathclaws in the wasteland still out east/north/south
like, yeah eden vegas probably ain't the most joyful and free place to live but it beats being sick hungry and dead
Right but ghouls aren't committing a crime when they eat you, just like bears aren't. The policing might stop that sorta thing, but crime? Straight fiction.
You cant bribe securitrons 8b
@@frstack Securitrons run on software. Software is only as unbiased as the person or people who wrote it.
Even though I love the enclave with my entire soul I loved how they were dealt with in this
1st generation Enclave was incredibly corrupt and flawed. 2nd generation is slightly better, but they still hold a grudge against everything that isn't them, still they could have been talked into joining House.
I love this what if breakdown, I’m new to your content and really enjoying it!
The best and most comprehensive video on fallout I’ve ever seen. Thank you very much
BY THE GODS this was such a good story maybe if possible make continuation
This has been a great video with a good ending, nice tying in the different elements of the games, I hope you the best in your future efforts.
I think I'd actually love to have this as some sort of conversion mod. It's just so cool to hear all this. Nicely done!
I feel like With the Chip, House would be able to save most of the west coast area. He just seems so OP.
