@benjaminoechsli1941 Elon Musk is real. And he will be remembered as the greatest man of our century. He's pioneered fucking space colonization, electric cars, and freedom of speech on the internet. The man is a magnate. The actor who plays house is dead and you don't remember his name.
It's so funny because he's obviously desperate for your help, since there is literally no-one else in the Mojave he can trust with his assignments. So he just has to put up with all of your bumbling nonsense.
-This fucker… screwing around in wastes, making friends with ghouls and supermutants, performing some low-level gun-for-hire shit… ALL INSTEAD OF TAKING HIS ASS TO FORT!!
nope, the dumbest decision he made was having the nerve to threaten violence against the courier. He could've offered a couple million caps and called it a day
@@nashooo5903 look, house isn't really the genius he thinks he is. the man knows computers he is a hooooorrible politician and wants what he says he doesn't: for people to look at him in reverence as the smooth-brained peons they are and do what he tells them to do as he does with you even his entire idea of vegas is a grand corrupting ambition
6:37 LMAOOO I always presumed the dialogue just ended with no response whenever you chose “Goodbye.” At the start of dialogue… House’s response is amazing
6:58 "And as the chip is a little too large to be... secreted away" My man, allow me to introduce you to my friend Fisto here, and I think you'll quickly see you've drastically underestimated how much I'm capable of "secreting away".
I would have loved to see House's reaction if his employee spontaneously decided to advise him that he partook in gigantic robot fisting on the regular
I love that House comes off as as smart person whos constiantly annoyed by your stupidity but still cant help himself to walk you through all his long winded plans and inviting you to his biggest personal moments. Its a dynamic ive only seen with Batman and Joker.
I’ve never actually heard the line where you refuse to give him the chip. The voice actor absolutely nailed the lines😂 I do love that you can test his patience over and over and he won’t fire you.
@@marxo6558 mordecai and rigby would probably annoy ulysses enough to make him talk like a normal person, like they'd be so grating to him that he just gives up the fancy prose out of exhaustion
@@nathanpierce7681 "OKAY, OKAY! here's the deactivation codes. God. Bear, Bull... the true war all along was the raccoon and the bird. May there be mercy for the new world."
@@nathanpierce7681his tribe practiced oral tradition, he doesn’t know how to speak normally because he’s constantly reiterating mnemonics to himself in the conversation so he can perfectly recall each and every historical event that he has knowledge of.
House talks a big game but in reality he is SORELY lacking in agents to carry out his will- he needs someone very competent but not so competent that they just go their own way (like Benny did). You don't run into that every day in the Wasteland.
The palpable disapointment in mr House voice when you ask about the energy in new vegas is so funny, you can almost see his expression as he says "..... hover dam... you know... the hydroeletric dam....."
Mr. House: “ah good you’re at the bunker. Now we can get down to business.” Courier: “….goodbye.” Mr. House: “WTF YOU MEAN GOODBYE?! I HAVEN’T EVEN TOLD YOU WHAT TO DO YET!”
Watching this makes me wish that 1 intelligence was as severe as older games The slapstick of House this genius having to deal with an absolute moron drooling and slurring his words between lengthy diatribes would be amazing
@@TheIrishRushin I mean, I think the Black Isle/Obsidian Fallout games are better, but let's not act like they never had any questionable ideas or knocked it out of the park all the time.
It's not a retcon, House is stuck in the West Coast. Jesus Christ people use common sense, Cats are extinct where House is. House has been stuck in Vegas for hundreds of years.
Usually go for the House ending, didn't know I had SO MANY ways of amusingly pissing him off in the process... Actually love the boss and annoying employee dynamic here.
"The Omertas are smuggling in guns and plan to attack you with them." "How do you know that?" "I gave them the guns." "Well that sucks." It's kind of crazy that the player can fail so hard every step of the way that it borders on treason and yet still win with the respective faction they are working for. I feel like there should have been a threshold where the game just pops up a message saying the game is unwinnable because you kneecapped every faction's efforts to conquer the Mojave for themselves. Edit: Or make that an ending. The Chaos Ending, where the Mojave just completely collapses into anarchy while you sit back and watch it all burn to the ground.
You should have told mr house you were going to blow up the robots in the weather station. he gets really mad but he doesnt go hostile on you and you can upgrade the robots anyway its hilarious
I got definitely about 3000 hours or so now in FNV, but I never quite got this linear line of dialogue options for Mr. House that are in every way constant pissing him off. It's hilarious 😂
my friend. by any chance do you have a mod list for compatibility? I have well over 1500 hs on that game but lost my mod list and you know how that game is..
@@purshottamadevadhikar5035 I have some good news and some bad news. I got the job! I'll be delivering packages in the desert for decades to come. The bad news is I was told to wear a helmet. But that's probably for some liability reason. I'm not wearing a helmet!
the "petulant megalomaniac" part of his personality peeking through his calculating genius businessman facade purely through the dialogue delivery right there is a testament to how great of an actor rene was
The Big Mt is chock full of personality modules. His comment makes me wonder if the Think Tank are just personality modules modeled after their human selves and is why their personal "interests" are so obsessive (Klein the boisterous alcoholic, Dala and her dolls, Borous and dissecting helpless animals, 0 and his hatred for RobCo, 8 just a nerdy lil guy)
@@Awesomebanana11 We can see in FO4 that wiping a removed brain to be fit into robobrain platform isn't an instant thing and doesn't always 100% work. Also, there was this psychic dude that removed his own brain in FO3 DLC
Well, it's mostly due to way House thinks. To FIND Chip he spent like, thousands upon thousands of caps, somewhere around a million IIRC, and now he pays you just for delivering it. I think the main problem is how broken game economy is, because you generally get paid like that in some longer quests (Van Graffs quest) for doing a LOT of work for them, while House is ready to pay you four amount the price for just delivering it. So it isn't that stupid from narrative side, but is really laughable when you play.
@@joby5838 I think it's just game economy problem. Like, I delivered the chip to him when I had more than 200K behind my back, so his 1250 are just a joke to me. But, again, I played A LOT of games, and it's a common problem - it's nearly impossible to make a balanced economy in a game where you can go wherever you want and get back to quest in, like, 5 in game years. In most similar games I've played there is a point at which you have more money than you can effectively spend, sometimes even physically spend. But... Um... I forgot what the point was :/
I love how much both house and the developers are just like 'THIS IS THE MAIN EVENTS PLEASE STOP TRYING TO LEAVE' and the frustrated explanations when they come back from dicking about
I actually had no idea there was this much dialogue. I really like Mr House, if I’m not role playing a different character, I always choose him. It’s really funny to see a him get so mad
6:37 bro you can tell he just WISHES he could stop having restraint and just throttle you for saying something so unbelievably stupid LMAOOO i love this, this is like yes man except unlike with yes man mr house is doing all he can to be as patient as possible even though you can practically HEAR him grinding his teeth hard enough to make sparks fly out
I wish there was a prompt after playing the DLC, after the "head in a jar" thing, where he says "they never retained personality" and you say "clearly you've never visited the big MT"
@sierra1513 It's because they're probably projecting the "genius billionaire" archetype that we get bombarded with onto him. In real life rich people love to play up that angle, because it makes them look like they "deserve" their wealth, even though most had a significant head start over the general population. It's honestly ambiguous how much House actually is lying, he could hardly know shit and be coasting off the work of his long-dead employees.
I played FNV right after binging Deep Space 9. Immediately recognized Rene Auberjonois voicing house, because he played Odo in DS9. I can't do any other ending, lol. RIP. Such a good actor.
"They never retained personality once removed from the human body" I'm not sure if this is House not knowing that they do, in fact, sometimes retain personality or it's his ego making him refuse to believe they do. Nice little touch as it's exactly what I'd expect a direct competitor to say about their rival product.
There is a far more resonable explnation. Just as with Wild Wastleand as a perk disregarding the DLC as a funny "what if" event solves these "inconsitencies" pretty neatly.
Eh, subject to interpretation. Think Tank and Vault 118 may have retained the rough outlines of their personalities, but they all went insane in different ways. Hell, if anything Old World Blues is direct confirmation of what he's saying, since the Courier's brain switches personality when removed from the body. I'd say he's 100% correct. Removing the brain from the body renders it useless as an analogue to the original person.
@@heswallowedburningcoals19 So if you rewatch the intro to the game, Benny actually takes the chip out of his pocket and holds it up between two fingers. It's clearly no bigger than a standard poker chip. I wanted to see the size by dropping it on the ground in game, but you can't drop quest items on the floor. I happened to have a poker chip in real life, that I got in a set of chips from walmart, and I measured the diameter with a ruler. Poker chip is only 1.5 inches in diameter. and you can take my word for it, I can easily fit this inside myself lol.
House by the end of it was absolutely baffled by how someone so stupid, so debauched and bumbling managed to fall at all the right ditches to bring his plan to fruition. I'd say that's just lore accurate on the account of the two Benny-sized holes in your dome
5:45 Only a shame there isn't an option to respond with "Revenge was never my concern, I just thought you might be happy to know a potential threat to you has been eliminated". There's a good reason to get rid of Benny, even if you don't care about him, he knows enough about how House's systems work to be a potential problem later.
They recently made a whole TV show nuking Shady Sands, before NV even takes place in the timeline. If there ever was a company more embaressed by their sheer incompetence and stil malding over it I have yet to see them. Fuck everything tod and his company stand for at this point!
NV's writing is on another level. I appreciate how the team behind its creation paid so great attention to the details of the recurring story, and also to the intricacies inherent to the game design they intended. The game can be funny (most of the time it is, imo), epic and even sad. What an atmosphere. Unmatched still by other Fallout installments of the 21st century. Just my opinion, of course.
