Mr. House, The Best Choice For The Mojave And Humanity || Fallout New Vegas 

Yeah I’m gonna side with the guy who possesses a missile launching army of self-repairing robots who pays me handsomely for snow globes. The guy literally gave me the best room in all of vegas to live in, I’m not gonna say ‘no’.

People call house evil for not helping Freeside but ignore the fact that the New Vegas strip took 7 years to be in the state its in by the events of the game. Not even a full decade as passed since House took control of the strip. Freeside is the result of House focusing his efforts on the strip proper, not him wanting to see others suffer.

I always liked Mr House from when I first played NV as a kid. The man has a dream

Always choose the house ending if he succeeds in getting humans back into space and advancing technological society even if he is basically a dictator . If a colony ship or even two reach two earth like planets in two separate solar systems and establish successful colonys the end justifys the means.

House is voiced by the guy from DS9 right? Like its the same dude

mr.house might be the best choice for new vegas itself, but the whole mojave? Naw the Mojave outside of the strip becomes just miserable.

wow dude! great video. (=

I have switched from the NCR to house multiple times but without constant investments in the mojave. You know, to actually give education to people instead of sucking everything from them. He is wasting and limiting human development and capital to actually help him with his plan. That is why i went with yesman. So i can implement his plan better and have an educated population A centralised government with securitrons able to patrol and protect the mojave. But decentralised in everything local.

Pre war wagey, or yes man ending were the brotherhood takes up the mante with you at the helm, sending out teams to the bigmt and the serria madray, divide, etc. To build an empire worthy to be cald the home of the brotherhood of steel.

He is like a more ruthless and evil version of Elon.

Counterpoint: I don’t want what’s best for the Mojave.

If New Vegas got a sequel I would 100% go with Mr. House. He's the only one with the plan. It's more than a couple years thought out

With Good Karma Courier, he/she can influence House with many great idea that house can overlooked and helped common wastelanders. Such as sponsoring or employing followers of the apocalypse to become head of education dept and health. Maybe possible massive employement labor jobs and mercenary job overseer by courier.

House doesn't plan to tax the NCR heavily, quite the opposite, in fact. House sells purified water at 5 caps per gallon when the standard is 10 caps per bottle (of aprox. 500ml). There's 3785ml in a US gallon, divided by 500ml in a Fallout water bottle is 7.56, meaning that House is selling 7 1/2 times more water at half the price of the wasteland standard. With that price, he easily underbids ever water caravan in the NCR.

Something I noticed about House's obsession with Snowglobes is a neat connection between his goals and the snowglobes themselves. If you look at Vegas, House is rarely ever involved in the goings on. All he does is collect taxes, and sit in his Ivory Tower. (This behavior even nets him the nickname "Not-At-Home" by the Omertas). He's so disconnected that he had no clue about all the plans to overthrow him from the families. This idle observer behavior House has is very indicative of how he wants to run the New Vegas area at large. He wants to advance humanity, yes, but it's a bit like playing a game of civilization. You don't really care about day to day life in your groups, only caring about the bigger picture. Under House, the New Vegas area becomes similar to the same snowglobes he has just lying around. A little diorama in the wasteland, encased in a glass dome.

I went with the NCR my first play through, and man, killing Mr. House left a very bad taste in my mouth. Hell, killing the BoS doesn’t even come close to the level of regret and guilt I felt after game ending House. Second play-through was a year or two afterward, and I chose to go with Mr. House during a personal phase where I believed debts owed must be paid in full (still do to a great extent). Yeah yeah, Mr. House technically was the one who put us in danger, but the Courier business is a hazardous one to begin with, especially in the Wasteland. Who’s to say that there aren’t plenty of other hazardous “cargo” Couriers carry that would draw the eyes of certain parties? More so, Mr. House didn’t need to dig the player out of that grave; there are plenty of professional mercenaries and contractors who he could have chose from to recover the Platinum Chip, and yet he put a vested interest in seeing that the player was the one who did it. All in all, when I learned that Mr. House was planning to get humanity back on its feet on a quick time scale, I was completely sold to his cause. Autocrat he may be, but he’s the best chance the species has at this point, and so I’m putting my bets, and blood, behind his cause.

I always thought House was the best choice to rebuild the country. Most people however seems to hate the House option for some reason. It seems like people hate him for not lifting everyone up at the same time which just isn't possible.

Fallout new Vegas is a truly amazing game. I remember playing when I was kid. 14? I choose the ncr and didn’t really think about house at all. Now at 25 I understand what house is and choose him. Really amazing

Of course a robot would be on robco’s side. Suspicious 🤨

I agree with the analysis. Mr. House might be amoral but he has standards and reciprocative loyalty. The courier ending through yes man is just selfish and doomed, the legion is unthinkably barbaric and destructive. The NCR...I can see why it looks good on paper but they'll just grind everything into bureaucratic corruption. Plus, I like House. He's Odo and Odo is great.

I went with him first playthrough, just because I like his style!

Quick correction, independent Vegas does not put you (or even Yes Man) in charge. The power vacuum begins almost immediately, and frankly, you just started what Mr House wanted to avoid. The securitron army has an expiration date, and just because a faction likes you, doesn't mean they will listen without a fight.

I have always sided with Mr.House, I love him. The goat fr

The first time I played fallout new Vegas, I did it blind. I went independent and quickly learned hubris. Like Icarus I flew too close to the sun and was cursed to an evil end. Second play through I did Mr. House. The philosopher-king. Very charismatic.

the house always wins

House Always Wins! I still side with House, but the way he treats the kings if they act diplomatically with the NCR is not that great, but in my playthrough and went the non-diplomatic route so problem solved.

House is the best choice & not near as selfish and evil as people say. If he was truly selfish & evil he would have a failsafe for when he dies and the securitrons could just take everybody on the strip out but he doesn’t do that he admits defeat.

NCR: corruption, incompetence and taxes legion: destroy everything, turn everyone into slaves, rest turn into gay slavers in skirts independent vegas: status quo remains unless you headcanon it into a self helping place mr house: actual progress

Make Las Vegas great again and then put it on the moon -Elon House

The legion can't exist without Caesar but it can without Edward Sallow. Lanius would be a good Caesar, he's a very competent individual. Legion has a superior martial ethos compared to NCR and House and can reform wild triabls into well-spoken agents that can perform fairly high levels of espionage without the Caesar's direct involvement. What Edward Sallow built isn't an upside down pyramid that rests on him, though in an ironic twist that's almost exactly how House plans to build humanity up and his plans rely too much on things outside of his control. I do think though how House rules in the game is fine, in game and in lore it's hard to have confidence in the NCR taking control over the Mojave. Really enjoyed the video!

i use the golf club sometimes

Another great video! Keep up the good work! :D

Thank you bro ive been saying this this guy literally forged an actual city with casinos that probably brings in 1000s of caps a day and siding with any other faction is lowkey a dick move to everything he has built

Having Played Every Faction, I can only agree that Mr House is probably the best Final Choice. New Vegas does allow a player to betray anyone and everyone, so keep your knife handy. I recall an old saying, "it is necessary to Get Behind Someone, to stab them in the back"

Trick Question: The Master, because yes

I have run the game from start to finish at least 15 times. and except for exploring the CL and NCR endings once each. I end with their House or myself running New Vegas for the other endings. Every Fallout game I play, I purge the Earth of the NCR, BOS and Enclave. They are all evil and need to be destroyed at every opportunity.

What would House think of the Institute?

Mr House is the safe good choice

Libertarian technocracy ❤

Mr house was definitely the right choice but with the fallout show we'll see if it's Canon

House is the best path. FUCK THE LEGION

Technocracy, a structured society, Mr. House and the Institute are what is needed to revive the world!

Nice video, I enjoyed it👍

Choosing House is only "controversial" to Redditors and the types that Reddit/Twitter inevitable attract.

How does an American not know how to pronounce Arkansas? 🤔

I dont like the House path and not bc it's bad. It's simply bc humanity is not fulfilling its potential. It's executing the wishes and directive of a single man removed from humanity.

I'd recommend you watch "The Ideology of Mr. House" by Soup Emporium. You might find it interesting.

More or less the only real reason why someone would hate Mr. House is because of the Genocide that takes place during the game. So basically, if we were to have a Mr. House that was willing to talk to the Brotherhood of Steel then there is no reason at all to not side with him.

House is definitely the best. The other options are taxes, Trump supporters, and anarchy. I'll take house and my presidential suite
