[@blackirontarkus3156]

I don't understand how people can see Mr. House as bad or can't see him as the best option both logically and morally. Imagine basically trapping yourself in a tube and reducing yourself to a shriveled up body, never being able to walk, or enjoy basic pleasures like taking a walk, eating delicious food or having something to drink, being able to socialize with people face to face on a regular basis... All that for what? As Mr. House puts it, for thr future of mankind. He's the main person who actually cares for the people as a whole. NCR: Greedy Government that's already showing signs of corruption and will soon end up like the Enclave. Caesar's Legion: No matter how good they become when they finally are civilized and form a proper, strong and uniform government, they've done too much evil to be redeemed. And no matter what Caesar thinks presently, his campaign was first fueled by his ego, not for the care of his fellow man. Yes Man (Independent): Anyone who takes that ending seriously is not very bright. The independent ending is good for the fun of it. You get to become king and yay everyone's happy but that's only a fairytale in reality (at least in the reality of the game/lore). A courier with little to no understanding of *basic* education, much less any knowledge of economic concepts that go above the simple bottlecap currency is in now way fit to sustain a nation even in the short term, much less long term. Mr House: A pre war genius who rose from the gutter to become one of the most brilliant minds in human history dedicated to humanitie's survival. Think about this logically instead of listening to random npc's. Mr. House, with all his technology and wealth, could've easily bought his way to pure self preservation. He could've moved to a secret location away from the bombings and lived his days peacefully and die gracefully. But no, instead he decided to take on the burden of setting up defenses to protect New Vegas and developed such advanced technology that would keep him alive for eternity trapped in a shell just to ensure that Humanity would have a chance. What else could he have done besides moved away by himself? He could've easily bought his way into Vault Tec or the Enclave. Develope vast technologies for them and be granted the utmost safety and comfortable living. But no, he probably knew what they were up to and wanted no part of it. Mr. House will always be the best option.

[@davidhong1934]

While I agree that House is the best choice out of the three main factions, I believe the independent route is the best option if the Courier completed and understood the DLC locations. Every major leader is reluctant in some way to change. The NCR is so embroiled in its own bureaucracy that those without power cannot bring change while those with power choose not to. The Legion is held back by Caesar's unwillingness to listen to the opinions of others, dooming the Legion to die without a successor. House has plans for resettlement on some distant planet but at present bases his plans on the notion that he can acquire funds through gambling and tourism. In all three cases, while a single factor can tip the odds enough for one group to become dominant, none are willing or able to fix defects in their existing ideologies. In comparison, the Courier can change. In Dead Money, you witness men and women, devoured by their own greed and hatred, come to terms with themselves and let go of their past to look for a future. In Honest Hearts, you watch a man finally forgive himself from his past sins, striving to be a better person for his community. In Old World Blues, where science and progress have halted, you reignite the passion for discovery and convince a few old scientists to work to improve the lives of others. Finally, in Lonesome Roads, where the world has gone to Hell and one man has forsaken his ideals to undertake revenge under the delusion of proving some ideological point, you remind him of the home he lost and give him a chance to try again. Through the roads you walk, the courier witnesses lifetimes worth of pain and sorrow, yet also find ways to overcome these obstacles and see the good in people. In conjunction with the various technologies and resources found, the courier can actually become one of the most powerful and influential people in the wasteland, able to initiate change rather than follow the flawed ideologies of others.

[@GamingWithNikolas]

I honestly couldn't bring myself to play through the game to get the other endings once I knew I had to kill mr. House in all of them. I could never bring myself to kill someone like that in a video game because he represents everything I care about, science, technology, medicine, and progress. I could never kill him.

[@ofauvi2089]

Dam people take this game a little too seriously. I sided with Caesar for a while because I love history and especially Rome. But killed him too. I never liked House because he offered me nothing and was just as egotistical as Caesar. And the NCR had no real solutions to any of their problems and were on the verge of collapse. Also the independent ending could work if the courier put all his points into intelligence and charisma. Plus security wouldn’t be a problem with all the securitrons. And only the courier could unite the Mojave. The NCR and house wanted several of the factions neutralized or flat out destroyed. Neither ever tried to cooperate with them. And the legion’s answer was basically “Join or die”. Where as the Courier was one of them. He approached many of them peacefully and gained the trust of most of them. The NCR refused this, House refused this, and the Legion doesn’t need to be explained. I played fallout for fun. If I wanted to get balls deep into politics I’d play bioshock. Or get involved in politics Irl. I didn’t do a play through thinking “Hmm this guy is the most logical choice due to current circumstances and moral dilemmas” I went “Oh I can be king of Vegas? Sweet!” Houses story isn’t bullet proof either. He’s a dictator, you can’t sugarcoat it. And there is absolutely zero chance of citizens protesting or revolting. Also house isn’t immortal. What if his securitrons are hacked? What is the Lucky 38 building collapses or sieged? There’s no escape for him. And he would face the same fate as the legion, a power vacuum.

[@Keyw]

Mr. House wanted the best for humanity, and thought himself their greatest chance. His folly was thinking that what he ultimately became could possibly qualify as, or represent, humanity. His prolonged physical isolation and preexisting narcissism and ruthlessness resulted in a callous, unempathetic man; he was overwhelmingly intelligent, and surely could have brought humans to another planet, but the dictatorial society he built and planned was founded on the calculated logic of a machine rather than tenants of human nature. He could guarantee survival of humans as living things, as he had with himself, but that survival would come at the cost of the dignity of choice and free will; the ability for us to decide our future for ourselves. Perhaps he was meant to lead humanity into an evolution, but inevitably it would be one that abandons aspects of humanity in its wake. A deeply flawed yet remarkable man. His atrophied, weathered form is symbolic of his own nature and the fate he would bring to what we know as humanity in his imagined world. As one looks around the Mojave, the slavers of the Bull on one side and the corrupt Bear Republic on the other, you see the repetition of human history throughout the ages. One must consider that letting go of aspects of our identity, to abandon that corpulent ideal of what it means to be "human," is the only way to save ourselves from a self-created cycle of damnation. But are you willing to leave that decision in the hands of a lone cyborg lich?

[@genericscout5408]

+Schalk Engelbrecht Mr. House has been around for 200 years. He's run super corps billions of times stronger than what he has now. The NCR is corrupt, inside and outside. It has good people, while Mr. House is cold and calculating. Keep in mind the NCR over expanded. They can't govern the land as well as a homebody with robots can. There is no middle ground unfortunetly. NCR want to annex Vegas and take it all for themselves looting it dry, House wants to keep his own city he helped defend and build.

[@schalkengelbrecht7859]

Maybe I should check what ending Mr House gives. It just seemed right to me since you grow attached to those rangers out in the desert busting their ass against the legion and other hostiles. (and I killed Mr House even though I didn't want to)

[@genericscout5408]

Schalk Engelbrecht House is using the NCR Military as cannon fodder against the Legion. His help at the Ending fight actually can save NCR lives from the Legion attack. The NCR just loses the right to tax the region and exploit its resources. House is no saint, but he's pragmatic.

[@alvaroramos9069]

+Generic Scout Glad I'm not the only one who sees this. The NCR needs a kick up the rear to realize they can't take what they want, they're ecologically unsustainable, corrupt, and don't properly defend their own territories. While I don't like House's free market capitalism too much (leads to poverty and income inequality), I think its better that the courier is in power with House's ending. Not to mention House has extraordinary pre-war knowledge. I also optimistically think the courier could build a socialist government with the Followers of the Apocalypse to take care of social issues in outer Vegas.

Instead of allowing the guy who waited two centuries for the perfect time to enact his plan, showing off his godly strategic mind, the guy who could've rebuilt New Vegas with exact calculations from his computers, the guy who could hold off two armies with securitrons BUILT BEFORE the nukes ever happened...

[@peppermillers8361]

Yes Man found some code snippets in House's databanks that allows him to reprogram himself. He even says it will make him more assertive.

[@genericscout5408]

That's not true at all. Most of nevada collapses under the independent, And mr house is a genius, Albeit he's taken steps that have been very harsh he himself plans to colonize planets, Something yesman nor the courier will ever be able to do and thats within 100 years or so. Mr House has spent around 200 years planning out every inch of this, And when he establishes himself as a government (in no way can mr house allow factions like the fiends and powder gangers to raid caravans and cut off access to the strip, that'd kill him as nobody would venture into unprotected roads with known criminals unopposed) hell in most endings he floods into freeside and restores order
