Same. Libertarian and Autocrat (more like a monarch by any other name) ideologies are literally the opposite of eachother. The terms don't belong in the same sentence, if you ask me. Mr. House's plans amount to little more than making himself into some sort of new age King. There's an old saying: "If your ideas require violence to enforce them, your ideas aren't worth a damn." Need I say more? A Libertarian wouldn't feel the need to have thousands, if not tens of thousands of heavily-armed and armored combat drones at his beck and call.

[@nagliszaglis]

@@MFKR696 that saying is ungodly dumb absolutely everyone needs violence and the threat of violence to enforce one's will. Anarchists, libertarians, even pacifist socialists. Unless your ideology gives you absolutely no directive to impact society in any way, it is fundamentally violent. But even then it could still be argued that it is violent since it is complicit with presently occurring violence and agreements that are solidified by the threat of violence.

Mr. House won't do shit for humanity. His plan is literally just tax evasion. He waited 200 years for others to do the hard work of rebuilding civilization, used his robots to steal land from the locals, and now he's trying to pull a coup with his robots so he doesn't have to pay back into the NCR, all while they do the hard work of ensuring society's survival and maintaining a viable economy. While House talks about grand plans, he's a terrible leader and is taking no steps to acomplish them. The Three Families say House hasn't done anything since setting up the Strip. He's not actually directing them towards anything. He's been imposing 50% taxes on the Strip for 4 years in order to finance the recovery of a software package. Meanwhile, the White Gloves are eating people, the Omertas and Benny are both independently planning coups against him, and Gomorrah is a den of slavery, even killing women for fun. The fucking Legion is more civilized than his tribes. All House has done for the Wasteland is build a den of debauchery, another New Reno. Compare that to the NCR, which has government, security, infrastructure, healthcare, food, water, electricity, industry, working trains even! All by their own effort.

[@sethsherlock9694]

I still didn't like that they cut the BOS house alliance. You say it is because it is out of character to have house compromise, this I can agree with normally. House is a genius who has run the numbers and determined the brotherhood to be at best a nuisance or at worse a serious threat for his post Hoover future, I don't deny this either. But I had been hoping so MUCH for Hardin replacing McNamara to have some sort of big game change at the end, and this would have been such a clever way to have the choice. NCR and a peaceful brotherhood House and a true techno raider brotherhood allied to the greatest mind alive. (Unrelated skip, I really figured it would be a Hardin BOS/ Caesar symbiotic relationship my first time I ousted McNamara. The BOS want tech, the Legion abhors it, Caesar needs some smart people to run the background tech he will use to empower his legion, but it can not be legionnaires as it might "corrupt" them. The western BOS have no history of land grabbing, just tech hoarding/prevention. If they could agree to aid in tech seizure and run some power/build aquifers or such, this relationship could work. Furthermore the BOS doesn't intermingle with society, if the legion treated them with some sort of "tech priest" DO NOT INTERFERE WITH class of society, this would work amazingly well) Bit back with house, how would you convince him? To me that is the best part, they could have taken this as an opportunity to have a high QUEST related science check and a brief humbling moment for house at the slight underestimation of the skills of his human agent. Talk to house and tell him you have managed to get the brotherhood Elder replaced, something statistically improbable to the point house would not have predicted it, and thus he would have to spend weeks redoing his calculations, or...just trust his top field agent's judgement (high speech pending). Instead, we ended up with house inevitably being forced to kill the BOS who just sit in their bunker all day...and come out rarely at night, such a threat. (Having said all my rant about that, what I recall from a forum post back in the day however, another reason BOS+House was cut was because, WITHOUT house ordering the BOS deaths, his ending is borderline idealistic if you make appropriate story choices in other areas of freeside and the game and the devs definitely went grey>happy with NV which overall I quite like)

[@TriangleCity]

Wow...this comment is incredible and easily one of my favorites. Very astute perspective. :))

[@bozotheclown666]

deaths dentist you say that the brotherhood aren't a threat, but if you want to join the brotherhood, Hadrian literally sends you to go kill all of the van graffs because they have energy weapons.

[@bozotheclown666]

deaths dentist 1. I don't think house cares about the van graffs, all the van graffs are is a mafia that only cares about money. 2. If the brotherhood of steel will send out someone to go kill all of there members because they have energy weapons, I'm pretty sure they won't be a fan of mr houses giant securitron army and will probably want to get rid of him, even yes man comments on this and you can also hear the brotherhood members talk about it.

[@sethsherlock9694]

As an additional note of something I have never thought about till now that is making me feel quite stupid... Why the heck does no one think the BOOMERS are a threat needing to be killed and that they are open to reason? Lore wise, no one lives to meet them, they are intensely tribal which in the real world almost inevitably is a bad thing, Pearl could wake up one morning and order a full bombardment to shell new Vegas to a pulp (as far as any faction knows they have full artillery shell stocks). And no one knows how their society or culture would react to a foreign emissary, they could see the guy as a harbinger of death and instead try to kill the faction that sent the courier, there is no real way to know. And everyone, even house, is like, yeah go talk to these insanely xenophobic tribals and convince them to shell the other guys or at least not shell our guys at the battle okay? I've never thought of how crazy the Boomer scenario is in comparison to the BOS and in retrospect it seems odd. NCR needs the help so this makes sense for them to send you damn the cost. Legion wants the deck stacked in their favor and a known threat is better than an unknown one, so it makes sense for them to send you. Independent is an I do what I want thing so obviously you do you. But for house in retrospect it just seems odd to let them live. One could argue House and his simulations would come to the conclusion "the only winning move is not to play" in regards to the boomers, as they have no history of outside aggression, or expansion from their base, but this would lead to him telling the courier just not to go. I really find it hard to believe he sees the BOS as a greater threat than the guys who literally are aiming their guns at New Vegas and would order the weaker ones death in all scenarios but not the stronger ones.

[@bozotheclown666]

deaths dentist because the boomers don't care about anybody else, the boomers keep to them selves, while the brotherhood are hoarders of technology and basically kill anyone who has technology. Not only that, if the bombers really wanted to hurt people or kill anyone, you think they would have done it by now.

House giving into the NCR is likely related to the Substation being able to power the Strip. And it'd likely involve some sort of sale over the Dam as well. If the NCR gave House no reason to use the Dam and he was severely weakened (destruction of the army), the NCR could easily push into the area and compromise the Strip's independence. Another part of the reason it was cut was to give the player more of a moral dilemma as stated by Sawyer.

The more I play this game, the more I feel like Benny had it right all along. He was just playing the game to win, no different than House, Kimball or Caesar, but unlike each of them, he was a native to the post-war area, and was among the first to "convert" to a civilized manner. The NCR is safe, the Legion is powerful, and House is smart, but Benny understands Vegas better than any of them, because at the end of the day, House is a barely living relic, Caesar is an heirless dying weirdo and the NCR is full of overbearing squares. New Vegas deserves Benny in charge.

[@geordiejones5618]

@@Arceon55 I agree with that in principle but in practice land is only yours if you got the muscle to make it yours, which in every factions case boils down to whether the courier places their trust in them or not. House is smart enough to run Vegas but when you meet him he's little more than a glorified babysitter, and he barely does that job well enough, because none of the casinos are strictly loyal to him other than the Lucky 38 which doesn't make any money unless you add the mod. He doesn't have the spirit or the juice of either Old or New Vegas. To me taking out House is the same as the Pantheon taking out the Titans: a natural changing of the guard. He talks a big game like he'll lead humanity back into the future but he's done more to preserve himself than anyone else, and its doubtful that he actually rescues a civilization lost to nuclear fire. He comes off as a bit of a fraud and a bit like he knows the NCR/Legion can overpower him (without the Mark IIs).

[@Arceon55]

@@geordiejones5618 Well, House never asked the casinos for strict loyalty. Only that they fulfill their part of the contract and in return, they're given relative autonomy. And I think the reason he might come off as a "glorified babysitter" like you said is because House really hasn't had the time or the resources to truly show the Courier his potential for the future by the time you meet him, given that he spent decades in a coma and had to revert to a primitive version of his OS after using all of his strength to defend Vegas. Everything that you see in Fallout: New Vegas is him basically winging it, which isn't his style. And aside from that, I would say that civilizations like the NCR and Legion aren't very special in the grand scheme of things. If they were to fall, eventually another society with similar ideals would replace them. But there's only one Mr. House, the only man with the sheer technical acumen and ambition to possibly elevate humanity beyond Earth. If he dies, that future dies with him, and so I feel it's only right to side with him in that regard. (Also I can't bring myself to make Victor upset, he's my robot buddy.)

Despite a few editing overlaps this was a very entertaining video. House has always been my favorite character/faction in FO:NV as he personifies the benevolent paternalism side of leadership: strict and condescending yet fair and rewarding. He may be cold and seemingly uncaring at times, but unlike the Legion this isn't out of abstract or arbitrary pretense, and unlike either the Legion or the NCR he lets people do what they want and maintains autonomy. Both he and Caesar have a lot in common, but their ideas of how to rebuild from the ashes (a hands-off guardian of a microstate vs. an expansionist empire) are irreconciliable as they are quite literally geniuses from different times. He embodies what Bioshock's Rapture would have been had the message there been less ham-fisted. I can see why they removed the cut content and honestly they made the best choices, but I still miss it. The idea of the lockdown is humorously appropriate as it's House's way of giving the player a timeout. For someone so "emotionless" he understands how to handle people very well (which is why he became a CEO rather than merely a scientist).

I love this game, but I've never been terribly happy with the end-game options -- either I follow an order from the NCR to murder House, or I stick with House and wipe out the entire Brotherhood before turning on the NCR, or I do even worse in the service of the Legion -- or I never get to see the final showdown at the dam. At the very least, I felt that as I was standing in front of House, decked out in my Brotherhood of Steel power armor, as an honorary Paladin, I should have had some alternative dialogue choices when he tells me to wipe them out. (Or when it comes to killing House, when he asks WHY, I'd love to have the option to say, "You IDIOT. I'm a Brotherhood Paladin, and you asked me to wipe out the Brotherhood? What did you THINK was going to happen?") That said, this is still an amazing game, and I go back and play it again now and then (trying new mods -- such as New California, etc.), and of all the entries in the Fallout series, I think it's given me the most to think about. Thanks for the video! It was fascinating to learn about the various elements that ended up on the cutting-room floor and that "could have been," if things had turned out a little differently.

[@Wveth]

I agree about the dialogue options, but about the ending choices not being great... yeah that's kinda the point. Ideologies put into practise are always flawed because there's always a human element. There never can be a perfect way to resolve these kinds of complex problems. The game's main themes would be severely undermined if one of the options had no major downsides.

[@ryanjones_rheios]

@@Wveth Even the "Yes Man' option has a big flaw that lots of people overlook because of their ego. And that's the fact that you don't rule the strip yourself. Yes-man puts the securitrons on autopilot, under you perceived worldview, before shutting down to upgrade on a non-specific time frame. At best you can come back and take House's place but the power vacuum will be filled likely before you return - its why its the anarchy ending. You leave no one in complete charge for the foreseeable future, with whatever chaos that might ensue from that.

[@ryanjones_rheios]

Anne Isopod Where? The securitrons remain and keep order on the strip, but the outlook on the strip changes by your karma and so likely in the way the bots enforce things. You leave the mojave to its own devices, possibly up to leaving it altogether as of the final slide about you disappearing into history, iirc (really House has that too, even if you work for him). Its not specified how long Yesman takes to upgrade and you can't give orders in that time unless you had access to the network Yesman hijacked, and the entire game treats the Yesman ending as free in its autonomy (not Yesman being free, but the Mojave), which includes from you. I don't think there's anything wrong with a headcannon that leaves you in place of respect or influences but the point that you're not leaving youself in charge seems pretty well made by virtue of no mention of your direct control of an independent mojave. I mean, hell, the ending for Boomers and the Followers even talks about how chaotic and anarchic it gets without a defined leader: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHO0e4awZr-MgJo The only part that seems to talk like you made a nation under you is Dingbat McBadGeneral

Yes it was a complete mess until several weeks later and (several) fan patches to fix the major issues but in the long run, the game is more successful that anything Bethesda has released for the Fallout franchise since F3 (and even that was a disaster)

[@bigcrazewolf]

@@ProductioDestruction Wow I didn't realize YT was so bad at notifications. I had no Idea anyone liked this comment or even commented on it until today. I would love for Obsidian to use that Microsoft money to buy the Fallout IP back for Bethetic and restore it to proper glory 👍

Production Destruction Fallout 3 and 4 have both sold more copies than New Vegas. Obsidian will never make another Fallout game.

[@catysuewho]

I've been lowkey stalking your channel waiting for the next video in this series LOL. My 'canon' run is an independent Vegas - I have a hard time doing anything else. I've always loved the relationship between the Courier and Mr. House as a sort of disobedient child/strict father relationship. I would've LOVED the option to seduce him. The initial confrontation with Benny and the option to seduce him was one of the moments in my first playthrough that stands out to me as being like.... holy shit, this game really is something else. Seducing Mr. House would've been infinitely more disgusting, but also hilarious and downright delightful in the way that only F:NV can pull off. Another fantastic video, I can't wait for the next one. This series is truly awesome.

[@TriangleCity]

Aww thank you so much!!! Comments like this really make all the time I put into these videos worth it. :)

[@catysuewho]

well, know that your hard work is very much appreciated!

[@catysuewho]

well it's also pretty fucking creepy to seduce someone who shot you in the head

[@catysuewho]

and to get fisted by a sex robot in front of your companion. It's Fallout bro. Also i did specifically say it would be disgusting.

[@TriangleCity]

One of my favorite dialogue options in the entire game is after you "try out" Fisto. "I can't feel my legs!"

It’s a crime what was done to this gane

I would pay over 100 dollars for a Remastered and content restored Edition of Fallout New Vegas.

[@celienasn8426]

The vocal tracks about House joining the NCR are fully dubbed and implemented into the French version of the game! It always troubled me why nobody/wiki was talking about this outcome !

Rest well Mr. House/Odo, you’ve earned it

El periodico de las aburridas ... the bored periodicals gracias senor Raul

[@ADudOverTheFence1]

A better translation would be 'The bored women's newspaper. (Aburrida is the feminine of aburrido: bored. Which may also played with the 'bored housewife' trope and their consumption of variety/gossip magazines, hence the name)

[@averagejoe455]

I fucking love Mr. House. Really wish he had more content in game.

[@Blue-69-666]

new vegas is such a good game

[@TriangleCity]

It's my favorite

[@JoshPhantom]

House joining the NCR could have made sense if it was a deal like, he becomes a citizen of the NCR, and gives nominal control of the Mojave over to them, in exchange the NCR let's him run New Vegas as well as many other casinos and business dealings within the NCR, perhaps becoming the economic minister. The NCR would also be required to provide him workers and material to make his Securitrons. House would be required to give the NCRA some amount of Securitrons with a special police protocol like how the protectrons have in fallout 4. Or something along those lines.

[@jvcdeadmoney]

You didn't talk about House's dialogue with General Oliver that never appears in the game: "Ah, General Oliver. I expected you would survive. I see you've met my star employee. A real performer, obviously - and a lot more reliable than the other candidate I considered for the position. I'd pay very close attention to what he has to say, as well as any official papers he hands over for your perusal. Let's get on with it, shall we? Hmm?--"

RIP Rene, I guess the house doesn't always win

The best character of them all for me he was fascinating. Also I'm a big Howard Hughes fan so i was always gonna be biased.

[@silent_stalker3687]

You’re wrong, the dialogue doesn’t reference the cut robot sex slaves. 3:35 You’re forgetting about Victor the cowboy robot. [sarcasm]

[@MrStuniz96]

5:17 Mr House= the animal xD.

[@derektrammell911]

What's interesting, if you consider The Outer Worlds a spiritual successor to this game, and you choose Mr. House, is the fact that humanity becomes essentially one massive corporation-driven species, according to his dream. He mentions he wants to spread humanity to the stars, which could easily end up with an even more dystopian & wacky future that culminates in the plot of The Outer Worlds. Really cool to think about.

[@jacobslater485]

Thank goodness this video is back! I was at work and saw it came out. Went to lunch about an hour later and it was removed 🙃

[@TriangleCity]

It had some serious issues unfortunately. To the point I didn't feel comfortable leaving it up. :/

[@ripred42]

TriangleCity the dialogue at 13:12 still overlaps for a few seconds.

[@TriangleCity]

ripred42 Ugh that's so frustrating.

TriangleCity Still an excellent video! Quite enjoyed the last videos about the legion they have been the talk of the town amongst my friend group! Really looking forward to see the rest.

[@paulisaperson0516]

This is an editing nightmare, what happened man

[@charalinedreemurr2953]

The way that Mr house begs for you to stay away from the console and taunts you. Reminds me of GLaDOS

[@AlexVanChezlaw]

My favorite faction and ending. The house always wins, baby!

[@Mote.]

I never thought of that. Mr house would have liked to be in a synth body

[@ethanhayward3696]

First! ( I think) But also, great video! I really enjoy this series, even though I know most of this stuff. There was plenty of stuff I didn't know though, and I enjoyed learning that. Edit: 13:13-13:15 the dialouge (transition?) is hard to understand and overlaps

[@LethargicScientist]

I like how he accuses *you* of having a grandiosity complex. He's the guy who called his obituary "a tragedy has befallen all mankind"

[@jeambeam3173]

It be so insane if they remastered NV to put all the cut content now imagine getting dlc or a sequel showing off what happens at the end of every faction if they win that put NV as the best rpg ever made like the Witcher on steroids and acid

Dude I just started the video and if the only thing I learn is that odo voiced house, I'll be happy

[@jimmym3352]

@Evilmike42 that pop tv actor is Mathew Perry.

[@EveryoneElseIsWeirdImNormal]

Mr house is the Greatest choice I think

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

In a game where you can convince the Terror of the East, Lanius, to surrender peacefully, being forced to destroy the Brotherhood of Steel when siding with House was a huge mistake. Sure, House wanted the Brotherhood out of the way, but this game had a ton of systems in place to persuade others through SPECIAL stats, speech checks, dialogue choices, reputation, and more. It should have been possible to play peacemaker. Difficult, certainly. but possible.

[@ryanjones_rheios]

Lanius never surrenders really. He withdraws with a stated goal of returning, but likely just isn't charismatic enough to pull it off. I actually think he's stronger and at least as smart as Caesar but he lacks the respect and so can't gain control.

[@pancakes8670]

I actually kinda like the creepier depiction of Houses face. Makes him feel more dead and ancient

[@legionofregion8825]

love this vid but in places like 13:10 you mixed your self over your own lines. it takes practice but you can get it i like the whole thing though

[@alexanderchippel]

Imagine if you ordered a package off of Amazon and instead of the mail person dropping it off on your porch they broke into your house and then stole your TV and then murdered your entire family. That's basically what Mr. House's life has been like since the bombs dropped.

[@The-three-eyed-Prophet]

lucius was hard enough to convince, i dont want to think about how hard it would be to butter up house in a speach check

[@austinj.decareaux8830]

This video explains exactly why killing House in the final game feels so empty and absurdly easy.

[@prismpyre7653]

I thnk you're totally wrong it's the option I would have chosen and it would be TOTALLY in character for House to be pragmatic. You would destroy his burried army so he would not have sufficient power to resist a military force but still enough to negotiate good terms that would allow him to keep some local and economic autonomy and then you have two forces keeping eachother in check against the other's excesses.

Grew up watching Star Trek DS9, Odo (same actor as House) was, and still is, my favorite Star Trek character of all time. Suuuper biased towards House. Plus the amazing writing helped a lot.
