Fallout TV show Mr. House Game Accurate Voice (Fallout New Vegas)

[@dissolution9843]

There's actually a lot that suggests VT doesn't drop the first bomb. For those interested: - Janey's not in a vault when the bombs drop. (Barb is so influential that I'd hesitate to imagine any world in which she okays the bomb being dropped with her daughter unsecured) - Vaults were unfinished. (VT wants to secure the investments of its shareholders and the experiments within) - Mr. House misspredicted the bombs being dropped. (if there was prediction at all that means someone beat VT to the punch, assuming VT informed him of their date) - We are not shown VT detonating a bomb, even if they intended to.

[@User-qp6cw]

Omg this all makes sense. Who would have dropped the first bomb then? I wanna say China, but that seems a bit too obvious. Not bad, just obvious.

[@NomadJedi]

In the end, House was more "right" than Vault-Tec, his AA defenses managed to make Vegas stand the test of time, while many of the vaults failed.

[@battlesheep2552]

I suspect it's a little more complex than that. Vault-Tec built vaults for whoever commissioned them. While the investors here were looking to build vaults that could protect a population indefinitely, a lot of the vaults were commissioned by the Enclave who had other plans. They simply wanted to use the vaults as large scale social experiments, and whether or not the population survived was inconsequential. I think this is the reason why a great many vault experiments seemed to be just about throwing science to the wall and seeing what sticks.

[@DT-267K]

Hell, had House possessed his platinum chip the day before the bombs fell (it was scheduled to be delivered one day after what became the day the bombs dropped, to his detriment), his anti-warhead servers would've had the upgrades they needed in order to avoid the absolute worst facets of the Great War's onset. In canon, they burned out and forced House and his Vegas Strip HQ to enter a centuries-long slumber after deactivating 95% of the warheads heading his way in canon, so without that major setback, he'd not only have gone the full 100% on the nukes and leave most of Nevada preserved from radiation damage, but also have had almost two centuries of additional time capitalizing on the fallout while Vault-Tec was still in stage one.

To be honest, House's voice in the games seems slightly "computerised" or whatever you'd call it, which makes sense as you're not speaking to him directly. Also, you have to take into account that House is much younger in the show than in the game. Even if you disregard all of that, you have to be realistic and understand it was surely very hard to find an actor who could act, look and sound like House from the game, since the voice actor who voiced mr House in New Vegas has passed a few years back.

The Enclaves plan was to remove all competition for resources, meaning everything on earth would be theirs. And with the Garden of Eden Creation Kit (G.E.C.K.) the earth can be terraformed into a paradise, although the actual purpose of the vaults were experiments whose data would prepare the Enclave to travel space and terraform other planets.

How do you make a profit from the end of the world?

[@LordDaret]

You do realize this is an ENCLAVE meeting, right? This is a defence contract meeting, and House builds the government’s pipboys, computers, Mr Handy model, most robotics, and even LIBERTY PRIME HIMSELF (in co-operation with General Atomics). Chances are that declining the meeting would not only risk him loosing favor with the government, it risked getting a bullet in the back of his head. Plus, why wouldn’t he attend a meeting for the end of the world? It would be dumb to skip it.

[@jessicaberry5596]

It's sad some people are failing to realise this. House in the game was a hyper intelligent, cold and calculating dreamer. He predicted the end of the world to the year, probably within the month though was just off. He is the only reason Vegas as a city stands, and with his return he intends to send humanity beyond this ruined world. In this game he is explicitely told when things will go bad, Vegas is still shit if not worse, and he only did it for what, profit? Whose profit when everyone is dead? God this is embaressing.

[@tonykriss1594]

Maybe he comes to the conclusion that nuclear apocalypse is inevitable thus it's better to have it happen on his schedule while he's ready and others not. Also as we understand it's a mystery who drop the first bomb. So maybe House and his partners have planned out the entire "world end" thing with a deadline and make preparation accordingly. But nuclear armageddon naturally happens which is why House's prediction is off by one week and his special delivery didn't make it before bombs fall.

[@asimplepolyp5641]

@tonykriss1594 "iT's A mYsTeRy!1" lmao Bruh, when they do this in television, it's not "a mystery". It's the villains admitting their plan to the audience. When no indication otherwise is given throughout the entire rest of the show (say, by the villains cursing their misfortune that the Chinese did it first), that means that what you just saw was in fact what happened.

Honestly, there IS a difference in the actual Mr House's voice in New Vegas (even though he was old and on life support) and the 1950s movie style Transatlantic robot version of him.

Real question....if your mixing real NV dialogue and A.I. Can you create John Henry Eden blended with his actors lines, and possibly other films... To recreate JHE voice? And if done well enough.... Could that then be used perhaps to integrate into the idea of a mod in which the fallout 4 survivor travels to raven rock and through certain means similar to Curie... Uploads some measure of JHE into a synth body? I've always wondered at that prospect as a mod, factor in the option of repairing eden be it wholly original or stripping the genocidal enclave mentality programming if one could then create a humanoid companion that could be by patriotic example a leadership idol...perhaps for the minutemen or even integrated into existing enclave mods...

[@aitorleal4676]

another thing to consider why his voice is different, it's basically an AI that speaks his words during New Vegas, probably made after the bombs dropped because he realized staying outside or even in the Tops wasn't safe due to the radiation, so he could've been quite a few years older than in the show because of how long it would take him to make the tops into his HQ and to automate it with police bots so he could lie in his pseudo-coffin for the rest of his life until the Courier drives an Iron 9 into his skull repeatedly.

Even Cooper Howard and his kid were in the middle of a nuclear blast, so unless Barbra Howard didn't care about her family, she likely didn't know when the bombs would fall either.
