Mr House with a Good Karma Courier is my preferred ending and IMO the best ending for New Vegas. After growing to respect this man so much as a genius and a leader who is both a hero and a villain at the same time, it is so hard for me to pick any side other than House because that would mean I would have to kill him. I would rather end my storyline living in luxury in my Lucky 38 Suite with my new boss acknowledging me as the best employee he's ever had.

[@kingfairytale4306]

​@@Widowmaker93 Add onto that, there are some files in the game that have a near fully functional map that shows only chaos in all non Mr House endings, in which he is seen already actively rebuilding Vegas, new buildings and even in progress buildings rising from the wasteland, with even the roads in Vegas outside of the strip being repaired. In short, Mr. House more than fulfils his promises to the Courier.

Mr. House is one of those characters that I will never forget. New Vegas is among those few games that makes you think about your philosophical ideals in such a rare manner, about what one stands for.

@@kingfairytale4306 why do I get the feeling that Elon musk played new Vegas and got inspired by Mr. House. But is failing at being Mr. House

[@ElusiveMysteryMan]

I picture House in the TV series as seeing nuclear apocalypse as inevitably with or without intervention. Him attending the meeting was him taking an opportunity to see what his rivals were planning to do about it. After the meeting he moved, forward with his plan to save Vegas and become an immortal computer while the executives were in stasis, something that directly contradicts their plan to reduce the world to a blank slate.

[@hacksawjack9596]

I usually do a Mr. house play through but I recently did an NCR run and I remember after offing house you get a permanent note in your pip-boy that says something along the lines of “a tragedy has befallen all of mankind” and it just bummed me out because Mr. House wants to advance humanity while the NCR just wants to be a copy of the prewar government

[@tinaherr3856]

It should be clarified that the city of Las Vegas itself wasn't hit by any nukes. There were 77 nukes targeted at the city *and the surrounding area*, House only managed to prevent most of them (which included ones directly targeting the city). Also, I don't have as much of a problem with House's portrayal in ths TV scene. He was against the Vault plan, but he phrased it in a way that would seem to be more about effectiveness. Which makes sense, as he would be smart enough not to try using moral arguments around people that are clearly morally bankrupt (especially around dangerous people with connections like Vault Tec and West Tek) My main problem with that scene is Fredrick Sinclair being there. Yeah, he's a rich guy in Fallout, but he never seemed that malicious or callous like the show portrayed him. He was more focused on protecting his love Vera and his little slice of safety the casino than profit or power. Though, I get why the writers chose him for the role of Big MT's representative. There really isn't anyone else that we know of that's a named associate. The Think Tank's names were lost long ago, being replaced with loop-related ones. There was a general who was the liason to the facility, but that wouldn't work since he was a part of the military, and probably wouldn't be chosen to discuss the possibility of starting a nuclear war to end America and get power.

[@Slenderslayer351]

It's plausible that he was chosen as a representative of Big MT by whomever was in charge there at the time.

[@tinaherr3856]

@@Slenderslayer351 still, it's weird that *he* was even a representative. Based on the terminals, he was a client, not really involved with the facility except to order certain custom products like the Vera hologram and the Auto-Docs. (The laser features of the holograms added on by a different company, N.E.)

[@halolover6893]

First playthrough of new vegas was an independent ending. I think my logic behind it was very good and sound. I seen a terminal that I was too low level to hack. So I came back with a high enough skill and opened it. I was confused why the robots started shooting me even though the game said I was hidden. I didn't even use my brain with the hack. I clicked the first 3 words and then left the terminal to reset my tries.

[@michaelsilver253]

...the playinum chip was made where? Sunnyvale? Ricky: "Oh fuck boyz! Mr. Lahey locked us out of the vault! We're fucked now!" "Mr. Lahey how could you?? I hate those guys too, but this is too much even for you!" "LEAVE 'EM TO THE SHIT MUTANTS, RANDINGO!"

[@CarlosColon-m7i]

Honestly Mr.House is more smarter than Big MIT scientists and Vault tec.

[@Adz2]

Without a doubt House survived regardless of the ending in the game, using backups, etc. I think we'll see him in the show again, possibly related to Vault 21, remember House had a load of that Vault "Concreted over", im betting that layer of concrete is thin and House placed other things behind it, thats why Hank went there id say, maybe another "elites" cryo storage place?

[@neilhannan5112]

The Truth is.... the game was rigged from the start -Benny from New Vegas

[@OnDavidsBrain]

When I first played New Vegas on October 10th 2022 I knew that I would get the worst endings out of the way first. First was the Legion for obvious reasons. Next was the NCR, after spending 4 years under Anton York (a free Mr T trading card for anyone who gets both of these references) democracy was starting to lose its appeal, especially if you compare the NCR to modern America. Now, if it were me in this world instead of Courier 6, I'd work for a true independent New Vegas. But this is Courier 6 we're dealing with here and they don't have the skills to run a nation properly, it's not as easy as chowing down on a pile of Fancylad Snack Cakes. So the only option for the long term recovery of not only the Mojave but also mankind lies with Mr House. You can save the Kings if you show them as driving out the NCR and have loyalty to the people of New Vegas. The Omertàs are a problem, mind you a problem that House created but the adage "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" applies. The Brotherhood of Steel are a massive problem for any faction trying to restore the world with any technology more advanced than a Stimpack. But we'll just have to wait till Season 2 of the T.V Show to see if ultimately the House did win, of if he's Not At Home.

[@michaelsilver253]

One thing I dont get about the love House tends to get is why folks are willing to take him at face value when he says he's not gonna mess with people's private lives. He's already done that plenty to most of the denizens of the Mohave, even if those changes were for the better (House's Vegas > tribal Vegas for sure). Or for something on a more personal scale, look at his story with Vault 21. He's not a fascist, so he's not gonna flat out say he's tyrant even if he acts like one. That doesnt mean he might not still be the best choice for the Mohave, because this is NV and the writing is dope.

[@TheCorybonuaf]

I really enjoyed this video. I do enjoy learning about fallout even if it’s some of the older games. However, what I think would be really interesting is if somebody took the map from the TV series and tried to figure out all the vaults that we’ve seen in different games as well as other ones talked about. I think it would be a unique way of possibly being able to figure out where future locations of games could take place, just a thought. I’m sure that that map is more accurate than what most people may assume.

[@digital_u4ia]

Someone has done something similar to this, overlaying all game maps with the real world map. Original trilogy did in fact use a 1-1 scale, however with the way exploration worked in those titles makes it a little underwhelming. The issue came about with 3 and 4, where they began to use a weird .8-1 scale both to save resources and time, and for general lack of things existing in certain areas.

[@captainawf2341]

"That isnt canon" No one tell him

[@AtomicF0x]

I haven't even _played_ Fallout New Vegas, but I continually experience second-hand fascination by Mr. House. After watching my brother play New Vegas many years ago and gathering some inklings of his philosophy and vision, I couldn't help but conclude that if I had played the game, I would have helped him. After all, the Platinum Chip was his by right of invention in the first place. He was the one who---despite his immense personal losses (death of both parents) and deprivations (denial of inheritance)---built his own fortune from nothing. He then had the foresight to develop so many contingency plans in the face of nuclear annihilation. And even when he nearly lost everything again, _he yet endured._ I admire him for all this. For I believe in intelligent, hardworking and ambitions people achieving their dreams and realizing their full potential.

[@spaccy6349]

I personally see the fallout show as non canon, Mr. House being in that meeting would mean he knew when the bombs would be dropped, when clearly he didn't since he thought he would get the Platinum Chip in time. Aside from that, this video was pretty good. I dread to imagine how New Vegas' lore will be ruined in the show, like the rest of the franchise did in season 1.

[@michaelsilver253]

I think the bit with House still fits. The idea of being able to mathematically predict exact future decisions made by hundreds or thousands of people is ludicrous. Pretty easy to move that from just being part of the settings sci-fi qualities to being a lie House uses to cover up his involvement with the bombs. He was one of the richest men in America, it makes sense he'd be in on it. However just because he was at the meeting doesn't mean he knew everything. He might've been given the wrong time for the launch (2280 as mentioned in the video) for one reason or another, likely part of a plot from one of the other people in on the whole thing. Or even more likely, the plan was 2280 originally but then something happened and it went off early.
