What game is this? It almost looks like Fallout 4 but less favored by an aggregate critical score and less fun.
Matthew Jackson
>NCR is canon courtesy of Bethesda
Brody Reyes
todd please
Robert Ortiz
Not many games offer you the choice to grab power yourself it's just too tempting not to screw him over.
Luis Price

Nathan Carter
Why are his shoulders so tiny
Jeremiah Stewart
cause fuck Vegas, that's why
Lincoln Lewis
The majority of players is able to recognize that he is manipulating you, that's why they kill him.
Jaxon Ward
Not our fault nephi's driver posseses us and makes us go do it.

Why can't Bethesda just let Obsidian borrow the Skyrim/Gamebyro 2.0 engine and let them make Fallout 5 instead? Is it a matter of pride and a bit of jealously?
It's the 20th anniversary of Fallout and everybody is busy fawning over FO 2 and NV instead of 3 and 4.
Eli Reyes
house is literally the reddit option
Lincoln Cruz
Well, it's true obsidian was more autistic about invisible walls and forced pathing than beths ever has been...
Isaac Foster
It's extra confusing because they let another company make DOOM so it wasn't fucking shit. Just make Obsidian the Fallout guys.
Adam Turner
He words his requests as commands, and speaks to you in a tone that implies you are a simpleton, a serf.
Also, you can manipulate people using money.
Jacob Sanchez
>civilizes a bunch of assholes who live in the sand and eat shit into a replica of his era, literal social engineering
He didn't change anything, they just got a new coat of paint. They're still literally cannibals and gangsters.
Julian Martin

Every time
Angel Wright
Well, there's obviously more, like the fact that he is a megalomaniac, he turns New Vegas into a police state, etc etc.

He also doesn't represent the good of the people as evidenced by his treatment of the Kings and the Followers.
Luke Reed
>an employer treating his employees as such >meany manipulation
Carson Gomez

Mr. House is the best and only choice Shame he also wants you to destroy the brotherhood, I'd like to see an alliance between the two
Landon Wilson

he was a cunt and I saw the opportunity to really fuck some shit up by killing him. I just love to screw things up.

Fuck Fallout 4. Fuck the plot, fuck the endings.

This is why you fail, Mr. House.

Christopher Campbell
Work implies you've accomplished anything
Elijah Garcia
Unless you stack Perception, Charisma, Inteligence, and Luck to 9 and then get the implants, House is the objective choice for the long term prosperity of humanity. It doesn't fucking matter if you like him or not. It's either you do it or he does it. There is no other options.
Jace Anderson
>invite someone into your home, a privilege no one else in 200 years has had >talk to them directly, a privilege no one else has had in living memory >offer them an important job far above their station as delivery boy >stay aloof in conversation because you've already sucked their dick enough with all this grandstanding >they come back and brain you with a golf club because you hurt their feelings
Well, he's right. Only a simpleton would fail to recognise the big deal he's making of them just by asking them to stop by for a chat.
Angel Bennett
Did you even play Fallout 4? It's hinted at numerous times that the desire of the synths to rebel is also programmed by the Institute as a means of a larger social experiment in subversion, it's left up to the player to try and determine if that's true or if synths really have free will or not.
Cameron Rodriguez
Niglet looks like he's missing the front top of his brain from how his head is shaped.
Joseph Edwards
Is that from Far Harbor? I still haven't paws the DLC and I'm finally doing a run through of the game and the DLC.
Lucas Howard
this, people forget house becomes progressively more complimentary and respectful the longer you do his quest
Thomas Garcia
far harbor was about as gay as old world blues
Jason James
That's nice, doesn't stop him from being a tyrannical dictator who doesn't communicate with the people he intends to rule.
Andrew Morgan
Ceasars legion are the most adapted to live in the post war era. They're a good natural reset for humanity. Otherwise yeah House is good
Christopher Ward
He's a condescending asshole to you, he thinks everyone in the wasteland is scum, he doesn't care if you live or die as long as he gets your chip. I don't care how smart he is, he provokes me into killing him every time. You would think someone so "cultured" would have learned some basic fucking manners.
Christian King
They're going to fail because they will run out of people to conquer. House can live for potentially thousands of years if not longer while after awhile micromanaging literally everything. He can get humanity back on their feet and then create an AI or something if he is going to die.
Jaxon White
>left a huge attack vector in the form of a poorly-secured computer to access his super-secret cryogenics tube
clearly not as smart as he thought he was.
Parker Scott
He accomplished more than you ever will, my fellow redditor.
Camden Martinez
>I want you to run these casinos for me >What's the catch? >I want 50% of your profits but you're otherwise allowed to do what you like as long as it doesn't interfere with anyone making money >Yeah okay sounds good to us
Oh the tyranny of contracts, how could he, forcing those people to work for him in conditions they explicitly agreed to
Noah Morales
>He's a condescending asshole to you, >I don't care how smart he is, he provokes me into killing him every time. see>>the only fault anti-housefags can come up with is he's rude >Every time
Oliver Baker
Well it's a perfectly valid reason. I don't care about money or status, talk shit get hit.
Juan Thomas
He thought he was better than me. I showed him what's what.
Aiden Richardson
People also forget house would kill you in a second as soon as you stop being anything but 100% advantageous to him
Anyone who sides with house is a classic beta (actual use of the term, not just Sup Forums cuck poopoo posting) who, while capable, is unable to assert themselves on their own and is only productive while toadying up to an alpha to guide them
Hunter Taylor
Implying the NCR doesn't do the same
Chase Taylor
Real high bar there, glad he was able to manage it
Robert Rodriguez
>Leftypol This will never stick because nobody knows what you're talking about outside of Sup Forums.
Austin Lewis
inb4 >bb-ut he saved your li- He sent a robot to save his courier so he could get his platinum chip. It was not a compassionate act.
Isaiah Edwards
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand House. His planning is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of advanced robotics most of the ideas will go over a typical player's head. There's also House's brilliant outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these plans, to realize that they're not just brilliant- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike House truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the complex planning in House's plans to let Freeside rot in it's own shit which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Robert House's genius unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a House tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
Brody Sullivan
>They're going to fail because they will run out of people to conquer. Exactly, that's the point. Just like the real Roman empire they will collapse and from their ashes lots of new states with a common culture and history (that of the legion) will emerge just like in Europe post rome and this will lead to a natural restoration of civilisation
>and then create an AI or something if he is going to die. Usually doesn't go well in the Fallout Universe. House will be a god to humanity but the people who take over after him will not have his wisdom or vision and may squander everything he's done. With the legion humanity gets a new start and are allowed to progress at it's own slow natural pace
Hunter Murphy
>People also forget house would kill you in a second as soon as you stop being anything but 100% advantageous to him Strange, because he doesn't actually do that at all in the game
You can royally fuck up his perfect plans and he still keeps giving you a job and lets you live at the end of the game. It's almost as if you're just making shit up
Tyler Walker
I killed him because I'm better than him. I haven't seen an argument to refute this
Jason Ward
>I don't care about money or status, talk shit get hit. >Kill the one guy who can literally save humanity because he hurt your feelings
>It was not a compassionate act. who claimed it was? This is bigger than you. House is a dick but he gets shit done, who cares about your feelings or what he did to the retarded Kings and Freeside when looking at the bigger picture?
Caleb Richardson
>what is Freeside >what is Vault 21
Oliver Nelson
>it's the "The Legion Is MEANT To Fail!" meme again we just can't get enough of this one, can we
Lincoln Rodriguez
screw him over and create a shithole out of one of the few chances to rebuilt civilization
Noah Perry
That was cut from the game, but there's a mod that restores it.
Jeremiah Cruz
I can't even get near House, too hated to get near the strip these days
Nathaniel Cox
Realistically he would be the best choice, but independent was probably intended to be the best outcome seeing as it's the most thematically fitting. That aside, most people will go the way that gives them the most freedom if given the opportunity.
Josiah Kelly
>goes on a tyrade about how stupid human feelings are >wants to save humanity because of your feelings for the human race Don't give me that "le survival" crap. Admit you have feelings or get the fuck out.
Hudson Brooks
>not part of the Vegas Strip, the land he explicitly laid claim to and not his problem >he was originally going to force everyone out but let them stay on and run a hotel because he lost a bet What a monster
Landon James
>I killed him because I'm better than him. I haven't seen an argument to refute this because it's a good point
Best ending. Einstein tier player character with all the minor factions allied with you, the robot army and all the DLCs and tech from the Big MT and the Sierra Madre
Second best ending House
third best The Legion
4th N*R
Eli Ramirez
holy fucking kek
Camden Parker
>Had the chip made elsewhere rather than at the Lucky 38 in case it was needed immediately. He saw the war coming, why didnt he see the possibily of his chip never arriving?
Brayden Mitchell
>but the people who take over after him will not have his wisdom or vision and may squander everything he's done That's why you create the AI. Create AI isn't hard, it's time consuming. He would have that in spades. He could test and create and test and create and then he'd have one. That's even saying he will eventually die. >at it's own slow natural pace Fuck natural everything. Natural pace now has godzillas, zombies, eventually world ending lizard people, hulks, and literal nukes laying around from the ones that didn't blow everything up. Humans are petulant children that need to be guided. It is the worse it has ever been. Without intervention things will only get worse.
Aiden Peterson
>the only counter argument is calling the original argument a meme
Angel Hernandez
Yes Man is Anarchy, the Courier does not run the Mojave, Independent is not your headcanon
Ryder Stewart
Why would they? Even if people generally recognize NV, 1 or 2 as being better than 3 or 4, people will still happily buy anything with the name Fallout on it, not caring whether it's made by Obsidian or Bethesda. I'd bet a lot of people don't even realize F3 and NV were made by different developers.
Aiden Carter
Well it's literally true. The Legion will fracture into microstates and kingdoms and from them humanity gets a restart, at least in america where they willl now have a common culture. Eventually a Charlemagne will come and unite them all again
Grayson Rodriguez
Of course I killed him, did anybody legit fall for the sweet talking sociopath? Why do you think he wanted benny dead so badly? Because he's literally the same as him.
Angel Collins
haha fuck thats a good one
Ayden Campbell
WHy couldn't we control the dam and charge the NCR for it's power output?
Juan Thompson
Because it is. It's not true. It's not any kind of argument because it's based on nonsense. Caesar very clearly lays out what he expects to come from the Legion and it is not "I want it to fail".
Brody Cox
Freeside is composed primarily of the people he expelled from Vegas when he rose to power, and he hostilely annexed and filled Vault 21 in with concrete because the residents were autonomous enough to present a threat to his monopoly on Vegas.
Lucas Long
When talking about the fallout universe there is only one faction that is ever acceptable to back. Ever. And if you don't support us, you're just another traitor to this great nation.
Asher Taylor
>no secret ending where you killed everyone uh brainlets?
Grayson Hill
...
Andrew Martinez
>Someone who never actually spoke against him in conversation I bet you just assumed that and killed him without even talking to his face like a coward, weak justification for your violent cowardice is that he's "rude"
Leo Morris
I ate him too
Aiden Nelson
>talk down at you all the time >starts squealing like an angry pig when you yank him out of his space bath Cracks me up everytime
Jackson Hall
On a scale from 1 to 10, how gay is Project Nevada?
Christian Flores
Freeside is filled with people who have always lived in Vegas and a bunch of tribals cosplaying as Elvis who used to live in the very specific part of Vegas called the Strip.
Vault 21 was filled in with concrete because he doesn't want anyone getting anywhere near his Securitron vault and Reactor sitting under the Lucky 38. The people had nothing to do with it.
Adam Lewis
B-but muh OP mary Sue self insert independent Vegas...
Angel Harris
Explain. All I remmeber is the aknowledgement of Legions existance.
Jack Lopez
there is literally no more a neutered faction than the clave. there is at least three games dedicated to fucking them directly in the ass.
Carson Clark
>That's why you create the AI Again they tend to rebel in the Fallout Universe
>Fuck natural everything. Natural pace now has godzillas, zombies, eventually world ending lizard people, hulks, and literal nukes laying around from the ones that didn't blow everything up Ceasar and hte legion would erradicate them just like the Enclave would before it's collapse
>Humans are petulant children that need to be guided Maybe or maybe let them progress at their own pace. As I said I see House as a good option but the Legion is the more natural
Gabriel Nguyen
I like the bullet time and sprint options.
Sebastian Gomez
Military occupation will slowly turn into a stable government once the Mojave gets secured after Hoover Dam II. Once the region is stable more pilgrimage from NCR territory will arrive at the Mojave. It's colonization 101, america did it in the 1770s-1860s why cant the ncr do it.
Tyler Myers
Do you think the Romans wanted Rome to fail? Ceasar is a megalomaniac narcissist, ofcourse he believes it will live on. Doesn't change the fact that the Legion will have a positive impact on the wasteland by removing the different tribal identities and uniting the peoples under the same culture
Brody Smith
But he leaves the Kings alone if they work against the NCR and the Followers flourish under him, whereas the Followers struggle to provide basic services under the Courier's "rule"
Tyler Gray
House and Independent Followers endings are the same slide
IE. The Followers struggle because they try to do too much with too little
