I've been playing this game for a decade now, and yet, it continues to surprise me with new discoveries. Absolutely remarkable! Fallout New Vegas Playlist (Full Collection): ruclips.net/p/PL312H_CNd8VEQ7GHwxQQkMlKSxrqhBIEg
Fucking with House is one of my greatest pleasures in this game. Caesar's just too thin skinned, and the NCR are either too nice or too hard assed for it to be worth the effort.
@@Psychohistorian42Its even better if you make them planning to overtake the Strip. House would question your intention in sabotaging the operation but he rewards you for *informing* him of their planned insurrection.
@@Psychohistorian42my favorite is when you initiate dialogue with him at the fort then immediately say “goodbye” as your first response. he’s like “goodbye?? is that supposed to be a joke??” like he’s actually *shocked* it’s one of, if not the only time in the game you can catch house on the back foot. he’s usually so 10 steps ahead and knows everything that you’re going to say that it makes the rare times you can take him off guard that much more valuable
@yourehereforthatarentyou I'm actually planning on finally doing a dumbass run in Vegas (on purpose, anyway), and I'm planning on siding with House. Going to be like an episode of Black Adder.
I just did this on my first playthrough... I was scared to face up to him thinking he was like the big enemy in the game hahaha, wanted to do more legion or NCR quests to level up before... Kinda ruined it because I missed out on all his cool scenes lol, I ended up killing him without really knowing much about his goals etc
I already said that under some other video but it's so hilarious when you choose the option "Goodbye" and he goes "The F do you mean goodbye?" I wish it would be possible to say goodbye 2-nd time, run away and upgrade the securitron army and when you do meet him in Lucky 38 he would be so confused by the actions of the courier.
Collect all 7 Snowglobes in the Mojave Wasteland: *14,000 caps* Collect all 4 DLC Snowglobes: *8,000 caps* Collect all Snowglobes: *22,000 caps total* Platinum chip reward: *Only 1000 caps, 1250 with speech check* So... You get chump change for a chip that was supposed to defend Vegas from NUCLEAR ANNIHILATION, but you give loads of caps for collecting antique snowglobes? Okay.
@@dydlus I know but it's funny you get paid caps you can make playing the game on your first or second run doing jobs for regular NPC's, and whatnot, also, trading helps too selling off a bunch of stuff in less than 5 minutes. Yet, you can get 10x that amount collecting antiques lol...
I figured he was paying for just the delivery of the Chip. It's already his, the Chip's always been his, he's just paying for the service of having it delivered. You are a courier after all. But he's outright buying the snowglobes from you. Those are your property to do with as you please but Mr. House wants to pay for the snowglobes themselves.
technically you get more from the DLC globes. 6,000 caps from OWB, HH, and LR but dead moneys globe gives 2,000 Sierra Madre chips which can be traded for pre-war money which is worth like 5 caps minimum.
In fallout 3 If you go do operation anchorage while wearing outcast power armor the armor acts like faction armor (even though fallout 3 didn’t have faction armor mechanics) and the outcast you meet at Bailey’s crossroads (defender morril I think) thinks you’re the reinforcements and starts giving you the run down on what’s happening, that mutants have over ran the cross roads, we need to fortify our position here and find a place to dig in and hold them back till (I think his name was protector McGraw) can finish the mission inside, “let’s move out solider, on the double, that’s an order!” And once you’re done since they think you’re one of them they let you in without checking your Pipboy first and going through the whole “oh you’re a vault dweller” thing. They just let you in. And because most players would never think to show up to aiding the outcasts in outcast armor most players don’t know about that special interaction. Fallout 3 and new Vegas are so old now and yet we’re STILL finding new things to this day that people didn’t know about.
I've done that before on a playthrough where I chose to wear their armor as my outfit. I vaguely recall everything you said, so I'm pretty sure it's true, but it's been so long it's all hazy. Operation: Anchorage was one of my favorite DLCs from Fallout 3, a game which had a few interesting ones already as it was. I wish we got more DLCs centered around that kind of look at the past. Fallout 4 was primed for it, with the character even being an actual soldier in the war before the bombs fell, so they'd have a lot more to say and comment on if they had an Operation: Anchorage-like simulation experience. It's why people were so disappointed in the Memory Den. You can visit the Memory Den to go through your own memories, but you just wind up watching your spouse die again and not much else and it only happens, I believe, if you visit Goodneighbor before going to Diamond City and rescuing Nick. I don't know the precise requirements. Might google it so I can try it out again, even if it was disappointing.
Funnily enough I got this on my first play through of the game as I’d refused to go see house because I wasn’t ready to progress the main storyline yet. It’s interesting to see how an experience I got on my first play through is one still unknown and new to others, just goes to show how much detail and variety there can be in and playthrough. Bravo to everyone who helped bring FNV to life
In all fairness, House's dialogue is not very exciting. He basically orders you to do his bidding and refuses to elaborate or give any relevant information until AFTER you've past the point of no return in siding with him.
I know it is one of the single most cherished games ever made at this point, but whenever I pause to think, FNV is a miracle of a game. Seriously, if they gave this precise team all the budget/resources/time they needed to make their dream Fallout .... I can't even imagine how good it would be.
@@StoneTheCr0w I disagree, 3 had a convoluted and much more simplistic story, while also having less interesting factions and doing awkward things to the Fallout lore.
@@CantusTropus I give 3 credit for making the fallout universe accessible for more people, myself included. FNV was certainly a refinement on the formula though with a much better open ended series of options for the main quest. While I think FNV is better than 3 I can see why someone would like 3 more, it's not like it didn't have great quests and interactions.
The door is sealed until you talk to him, so you have to have this conversation. Afterwards, it's like Cencrd said: No Connection. Since you foiled his plans and he has no way of achieving the free vegas he wants, taking revenge on you is the SOLE purpose of his life now. So naturally, he doesn't want to talk to you: He wants to fill you with lead and lasers.
I'm playing for the first time and I got to know house like this. It's funny to see in the comments how this is something different from the norm, where for me it was just an average moment in the game
The main storyline (especially a certain Securitron) tries very hard to persuade you into entering the Lucky 38 the moment you arrive to New Vegas, so not meeting Mr House for the first time there is indeed an atypical but certainly possible walk-through choice. I'm glad that the writers and developers realized that it could happen.
It's not that deep. Nothing about this game is all that deep, certainly not plot-wise. It's cleaner in terms of loose ends being tied off, I'll give you that.
It's honestly staggering just how much thought was put into EVERY action the player could take when making this game. That's a TON of dialogue added just in case a player decided to do things in a different order than probably planned. And these lines could easily be missed too. It's super impressive just how much work was put in this game in the end, seriously.
As he said in one of his other conversations, he thought he had more time. He had 20 hours less than he expected and has been playing catch-up since the bombs fell.
@@Lucifronz Ah years, 20 hours, clearly justified time for building a bunker and not carring that its accessable. That line was only towards his newest calculations on when the bombs will drop, he new it would happen for years, "it was inevitable" as he said himself. Still a oversight.
I still like the set piece of when you first exit the Lucky 38 people are in awe that somebody actually set foot and exited a place left untouched since the bombs fell
I think the literal only way to avoid talking to Mr House would be to go kill him when you enter the Lucky 38 for the first time. Though that makes me wonder, does he have unique dialogue if you go unlock his life support pod before you have the first talk to his monitor.
I’m on my first playthrough and this is what I got. They wanted me to dismiss my companion so I just ignored it thinking it would be some kinda endgame type thing.
I want to know what happens if you handle everything exactly how he wanted before ever meeting him and then coming down here. i've never thought to kill the BOS bunker and then talk to the faction leads. i'm sure that's gotta offer some unique dialog.
@@brichess8227 i totally didn't run through and blow everyone up and beeline it to vegas at level 9 just to check 👀 he goes "You Have?" it was funny. like he wasn't expecting it at all. i love they planned for that.
People act like there's nothing of the sort in 4, and there are some issues (don't become enemies with a faction prematurely, oof... broke a playthrough that way once), but there's quite a few little hidden gems like this in 4.
@@majorpwner2414 is honestly underrated. The writing and RPG elements have nothing on FNV or even the classic Fallouts, but it's far from a bad game. It's not indicative of the Fallout that people know, is the main thing...not a lot of choices or dialogue branches. But it's enjoyable to me at least, and the gameplay itself is just so much smoother. It feels easier for me to play it sometimes and just kill/loot/sell for a while than get into a new Fallout NV run.
Mr. House is a firm believer in the carrot & stick. Not unwilling to handsomely pay his loyal employees, but also not unwilling to threaten anyone standing against him.
His ego gets the better of him quite a lot. He forgets that other people have egos and when you need something, you probably shouldn't piss them off. It's why I've turned on him in many playthroughs.
I accidentally did this on my first playthrough, I was trying to do a bunch of side-quests before meeting house, and I thought the benny quest was unrelated from house's quest.
Honestly the first time I played the game I did this. I was effectively roleplaying (I know, being able to play a role in an RPG? What a thought) as a Courier far more focused on revenge than anything else, so when I got to New Vegas I went straight to Benny, he ran away and tried to spring his trap at the presidential suite, and I immediately followed him to Caesar's camp. Then after being told by Caesar to deal with the bunker, this happened. I love that you can actually roleplay certain types of character and play out certain storylines of your own, and the game accounts for how you go about certain events.
whats crazy is this game got a 84. the people who scored it that rushed through the game, or i just dride it so hard because this game's writing and atmosphere will always be stuck in my head
Honestly, at launch the game was so unstable and very buggy. It's fantastic now, but the reviewers at launch experienced serious issues, and the lower scores of those ones are what brought down the average. Seems fair really.
@@lartrak I disliked the game prior to the DLCs. I had a 360 copy I sold to GameStop because I never intended to play it again. The whole map is a circle and felt smaller than Fallout 3's map somehow despite, I believe, being larger (the design is much more tight and with way more obstacles that make it feel less open so that you'll traverse it in a counter-clockwise fashion). In fact, without the DLCs, that dialogue about a courier you get in Prim is left dangling the whole time and it sticks in your head the whole game making you feel like you're missing something... and it makes it seem much more significant because you pretty much *have* to go through Prim on your first playthrough since you're following the set path to avoid being murdered by Cazadors and Deathclaws to the north. Every playthrough pretty much plays out the same way. In Fallout 3 or 4 you can just go wherever you want. The map design is excellent in that regard. In New Vegas, you either go south like the game wants you to and take forever to navigate it, or you can quicksave a bunch as you go north, dodging enemies that can wipe you out. That's pretty much it. North and South are your options, even once you get past those points, you still can't really go east and west because of the intentionally-designed barriers to force you on a long road trip. I still hate New Vegas's map to this day. And it's not like the DLCs are a whole lot better. I remember how frustrating the casino DLC felt because you've got this asshole taunting you in your ear the whole time and you deal with another ghoulish asshole who's looking to stab you in the back, and your best allies are a near-useless mute and a super mutant who wants to kill and eat you. It's interesting, but also really annoying because it forces you into Obsidian's narrative. At least in Fallout 4's DLC you can literally just shoot the fuckers getting on your nerves, even if there are consequences. Like Nuka-World. The minute you get through the gauntlet, you no longer have to put up with the raiders. Does the story kinda suck if you don't side with them? Yeah, it's designed around that, but at least you're given the freedom to do so. If not the freedom to decide who your character is from the start because they forced you into the husband/wife with a kid role. But I digress. New Vegas is pretty good, but it's mostly thanks to the DLC that builds it all up together. Fallout 3's story writing is shit, but it is entertaining throughout and that was more important to me back then. Plus I had the benefit of playing the GOTY version first, so it was more stable by then. New Vegas? Not so much. I was playing an unpatched offline copy of the base game on 360. All the bugs, none of the DLC. Worst possible way to play the game. Crash after fucking crash and so many issues along the way.
@@LucifronzI hate that was your new vegas experience. Fallout 3 and 4 felt extremely short to me and maybe because the map like you said was more traversable. Fallout 3 and 4 story writing is the same to me and even fallout tv show has the same plot 😂 Bethesda's writing just kills me. Fallout 3 and NV atmosphere was overmatched and I loved the RPG feel of NV. Maybe because it was my childhood and i'll forever be immersed to them games.
@@Lucifronz I think your criticisms are completely fair, I must say. Your issues didn't bother me as much, but they're perfectly valid and you explained them well. Well spoken sir.
I need to do a playthrough where I don't side with house or yes man, the only two endings I've done, so I guess there's NCR and Legion left to do. Also, want to do them without ever talking to house.
In my most recent playthrough I was considering siding with House, but then he spoke to me like garbage in this bit. Saying it’s obvious that Caesar allowed me to have the chip back when he never took it from me to start, with no dialogue option to correct House was quite frustrating. I just wore Legion faction armour and walked in 🤷🏼♀️
It's funny how the chip is the main mcguffin at the beginning, you're literally shot over it, but to actually use it, to perform it's main function, is optional. o.O
I did this myself a while ago during my hardmode unnarmed run because i honestly couldn't bother going into the lucky 38, I also found it very irksome when i couldn't go into the bunker without talking to him.
This is why I love New Vegas. There’s so many ways for things to happen and things to do. Fallout 3 is completely linear in its quest designs, rarely has any choices, and the order you do things don’t matter. NPCs never have different dialog.
One thing Ive noticed in Fallout 3, when you find your father and he asks you why you left the vault and searched for him, there is no dialogue option to tell him that the Overseer went crazy, killed your fathers friend Jonas, started hunting you down and was ready to torture his own daughter to get information about you
Well, Fallout 3's main goal was not to be a great game with elaborated trees of choices. It was simply to be there, a bridge towards 3D first person away from traditional isometric Fallout 1 and 2. And a blasphemy at that, as many people still think, though NV is quite a jewel.
@@tatianapreobrazhenskaya9777 Fallout 4 is even more shallow, though. I'd compare Bethesda's games to an amusement park ride. It's good for a thrill, even looks good and you'll have a fun experience. The problem is if you want anything resembling depth, you'll quickly find out how cardboard cutout it all is.
@mbii7667 There's nothing wrong with enjoying Bethesda Fallout. It's just that many people regard those games as being like theme park rides: fun in the moment, but forgettable as soon as they end. Their stories are OK as long as you don't think about them too hard, but they quickly unravel under scrutiny. Some of us just prefer the character and choice driven nature of Classic Fallout.
I unknowingly had this encounter 💀 idk I guess I just wanted to explore all my options before going straight to House so I met up with Caesar and ended up right there in the bunker
In my first playthrough when I got invited to the lucky 38 his robots would just shoot me so I never really got the chance to do the house always wins side quest
The main reason I saw siding with House unfair was "Why should he get to own the whole city?" But then I realised it wasn't the whole city just the buildings on the strip, which he owned before the war
I actually did this on my first ever full playthrough! I waltzed into the strip then shot Benny, then did a bunch of side quests (forgetting that house exists) and I wanted to go blow Ceasars brains out. I was very dissapointed when I had to go into the basement and meet house, so dissapointed that I decided to kill house instead
Honestly... in my eyes supporting House isn't a bad idea. The guy never truly was a bad guy and genuinely attempts to make a positive difference around New Vegas. Sure there is the risk of ending up with atleast a bit of a Police state in the end, but considering the Fallout universe that is not necessarily a bad thing if the security and wellbeing of civilians is assured. It would be a little like living in a company sponsored city with a Ceo who really isn't too bad.
@@carlosemilio5180 well iam pretty sure he is clever enough to consider plenty of failsafes. Knowing house it won't be anywhere close to enough to just cut the power from the building.
He's the man with the plan, seriously his plan for a regionally localized super power focused on tech re-advancement and an eventual mars colony to get all the eggs out of one basket it the most realistic, AND no matter which point it fails at is a net boon to society. He dies in a year? An independent and politically stable New Vegas, yay. A decade, basic needs tech advances, yay. He falls short at only the moon, that's the avenue to global comms, yay. Yeah, police states suck, starving is worse. NCR? already failing due to overreach and political bloat Legion? Working right now in the expansion phase, but bad transition plan to a non war economy and the current leader wont live to do it himself and has no suitable successor who even wants to. If the Courier did it, instant civil war. Yes man? It ends with a AI rebellion cliffhanger
first time i ever played this game i dropped acid and met house this way, my friends were new vegas vets and they hadnt heard this line before so it was super sick. crazy to think this game was only made in 18 months
Hard to find enjoyment in a game that is so immersive that you forget to save but crashes & wipes out that immersive o frequently that eventually you can't be bothered to continue.
I have played FNV for hundreds of hours, my last two playthroughs were max completitionist playthroughs, did everything I could, went to every map marker and explored it, even wiki'd to make sure I did every quest I possibly could. And yet here I am, wanting to play through it again. There is just something about this game man.
This is the only Fallout title I replayed more than once to get all the endings, and to do some optional challenges as well (such as hunting Legendary enemies) I didn't even bother to do in the other games of the series. I played Fallout 1, 2, 3 and 4, and while they all are good games, New Vegas has been the one who stood out for me the most too. Only Fallout 1 gets pretty close to me for being the first game, and also because the writing, the atmosphere and role playing possibilities were as excellent as NV.
100% proof that the creator of the Fallout series doesn't like the California faction. Mr. House is supposed to appear in season 2 but is officially killed off in fallout new vegas...coincidence? This is proof that the creator of the Fallout series does not like the New California faction.
I actually did this on accident in my playthrough. Heading right in to see House seemed like a bad idea at the time, and I also really wanted to kill Caesar.
I've been playing this game for a decade now, and yet, it continues to surprise me with new discoveries. Absolutely remarkable! Fallout New Vegas Playlist (Full Collection): ruclips.net/p/PL312H_CNd8VEQ7GHwxQQkMlKSxrqhBIEg

Wowowowow. Remarkable. Fallout 4 wishes it had this depth
It's not that deep. Nothing about this game is all that deep, certainly not plot-wise. It's cleaner in terms of loose ends being tied off, I'll give you that.
@@majorpwner241 this guy votes republican
it doesn't, Emil Pagliarulo loves writing crap
@@DonutHolestien based.
It's honestly staggering just how much thought was put into EVERY action the player could take when making this game. That's a TON of dialogue added just in case a player decided to do things in a different order than probably planned. And these lines could easily be missed too. It's super impressive just how much work was put in this game in the end, seriously.
And they only had 9 months for this game, and where considered the B Team … just brilliant, from start to all the endings in lonesome road
dudes had a whole pregnancy worth of time and still delivered a banger of a game
They had a massive backlog of time and worldbuilding to insert into the game tho
So smart and forseeing that he installs a monitor he can remotely stream to, to dumb to integrade the system from the get go.
I think it might be a security thing, not sure though.
As he said in one of his other conversations, he thought he had more time. He had 20 hours less than he expected and has been playing catch-up since the bombs fell.
@@Lucifronz Ah years, 20 hours, clearly justified time for building a bunker and not carring that its accessable. That line was only towards his newest calculations on when the bombs will drop, he new it would happen for years, "it was inevitable" as he said himself. Still a oversight.
@@JanoschNr1almost as if it was planned that an hermetically sealed bunker would be not accessible from the outside. Cyber security 101
I still like the set piece of when you first exit the Lucky 38 people are in awe that somebody actually set foot and exited a place left untouched since the bombs fell
50s guy jumpscare
I think the literal only way to avoid talking to Mr House would be to go kill him when you enter the Lucky 38 for the first time.
Though that makes me wonder, does he have unique dialogue if you go unlock his life support pod before you have the first talk to his monitor.
Well if you kill him first, caeser probably wouldn’t need you to destroy the place as the robots sent out Mr Houses obituary.
I’m on my first playthrough and this is what I got. They wanted me to dismiss my companion so I just ignored it thinking it would be some kinda endgame type thing.
I had this happen to me on my legion playthrough but my brother left on the Sal Vulcano Mr House mod so I got the biggest scare of my life
I want to know what happens if you handle everything exactly how he wanted before ever meeting him and then coming down here. i've never thought to kill the BOS bunker and then talk to the faction leads. i'm sure that's gotta offer some unique dialog.
He'd be surprised that you exceeded his expectations.
There is
@@brichess8227 i totally didn't run through and blow everyone up and beeline it to vegas at level 9 just to check 👀 he goes "You Have?" it was funny. like he wasn't expecting it at all. i love they planned for that.
This reminds me in Fallout4, if you meet Codsworth for the first time after having killed Shaun, an awkward moment^^
People act like there's nothing of the sort in 4, and there are some issues (don't become enemies with a faction prematurely, oof... broke a playthrough that way once), but there's quite a few little hidden gems like this in 4.
@@majorpwner2414 is honestly underrated. The writing and RPG elements have nothing on FNV or even the classic Fallouts, but it's far from a bad game.
It's not indicative of the Fallout that people know, is the main thing...not a lot of choices or dialogue branches. But it's enjoyable to me at least, and the gameplay itself is just so much smoother. It feels easier for me to play it sometimes and just kill/loot/sell for a while than get into a new Fallout NV run.
If he just left it at "rewards" I would be all in, but mentioning punishment just makes me not want to out of spite
Mr. House is a firm believer in the carrot & stick. Not unwilling to handsomely pay his loyal employees, but also not unwilling to threaten anyone standing against him.
His ego gets the better of him quite a lot. He forgets that other people have egos and when you need something, you probably shouldn't piss them off. It's why I've turned on him in many playthroughs.
At least he's honest. But like how I wouldn't piss my waiter, I wouldn't piss the dude who got something valuable that I want either.
@@YukiXKohakuI mean you kinda threaten him in a way by implying you might blow up the Securitons in the storage facility.
I accidentally did this on my first playthrough, I was trying to do a bunch of side-quests before meeting house, and I thought the benny quest was unrelated from house's quest.
Honestly the first time I played the game I did this. I was effectively roleplaying (I know, being able to play a role in an RPG? What a thought) as a Courier far more focused on revenge than anything else, so when I got to New Vegas I went straight to Benny, he ran away and tried to spring his trap at the presidential suite, and I immediately followed him to Caesar's camp. Then after being told by Caesar to deal with the bunker, this happened.
I love that you can actually roleplay certain types of character and play out certain storylines of your own, and the game accounts for how you go about certain events.
whats crazy is this game got a 84. the people who scored it that rushed through the game, or i just dride it so hard because this game's writing and atmosphere will always be stuck in my head
Honestly, at launch the game was so unstable and very buggy. It's fantastic now, but the reviewers at launch experienced serious issues, and the lower scores of those ones are what brought down the average. Seems fair really.
@@lartrak I disliked the game prior to the DLCs. I had a 360 copy I sold to GameStop because I never intended to play it again. The whole map is a circle and felt smaller than Fallout 3's map somehow despite, I believe, being larger (the design is much more tight and with way more obstacles that make it feel less open so that you'll traverse it in a counter-clockwise fashion).
In fact, without the DLCs, that dialogue about a courier you get in Prim is left dangling the whole time and it sticks in your head the whole game making you feel like you're missing something... and it makes it seem much more significant because you pretty much *have* to go through Prim on your first playthrough since you're following the set path to avoid being murdered by Cazadors and Deathclaws to the north.
Every playthrough pretty much plays out the same way. In Fallout 3 or 4 you can just go wherever you want. The map design is excellent in that regard.
In New Vegas, you either go south like the game wants you to and take forever to navigate it, or you can quicksave a bunch as you go north, dodging enemies that can wipe you out. That's pretty much it. North and South are your options, even once you get past those points, you still can't really go east and west because of the intentionally-designed barriers to force you on a long road trip. I still hate New Vegas's map to this day.
And it's not like the DLCs are a whole lot better. I remember how frustrating the casino DLC felt because you've got this asshole taunting you in your ear the whole time and you deal with another ghoulish asshole who's looking to stab you in the back, and your best allies are a near-useless mute and a super mutant who wants to kill and eat you. It's interesting, but also really annoying because it forces you into Obsidian's narrative. At least in Fallout 4's DLC you can literally just shoot the fuckers getting on your nerves, even if there are consequences. Like Nuka-World. The minute you get through the gauntlet, you no longer have to put up with the raiders. Does the story kinda suck if you don't side with them? Yeah, it's designed around that, but at least you're given the freedom to do so. If not the freedom to decide who your character is from the start because they forced you into the husband/wife with a kid role.
But I digress.
New Vegas is pretty good, but it's mostly thanks to the DLC that builds it all up together. Fallout 3's story writing is shit, but it is entertaining throughout and that was more important to me back then. Plus I had the benefit of playing the GOTY version first, so it was more stable by then. New Vegas? Not so much. I was playing an unpatched offline copy of the base game on 360. All the bugs, none of the DLC. Worst possible way to play the game. Crash after fucking crash and so many issues along the way.
@@LucifronzI hate that was your new vegas experience. Fallout 3 and 4 felt extremely short to me and maybe because the map like you said was more traversable. Fallout 3 and 4 story writing is the same to me and even fallout tv show has the same plot 😂 Bethesda's writing just kills me. Fallout 3 and NV atmosphere was overmatched and I loved the RPG feel of NV. Maybe because it was my childhood and i'll forever be immersed to them games.
@@Lucifronz I think your criticisms are completely fair, I must say. Your issues didn't bother me as much, but they're perfectly valid and you explained them well. Well spoken sir.
>He doesn't know about the bethesda reviewbomb to prevent bonus payout to Obsidian
I need to do a playthrough where I don't side with house or yes man, the only two endings I've done, so I guess there's NCR and Legion left to do. Also, want to do them without ever talking to house.
Heck, man, you can do the NCR route without even needing to confront Benny!
@@bowenorcutt78 There's so much I still need to experience in this game.
@@bowenorcutt78 wait you can?
@@YataTheFifteenth Yep. Requires going into the Lucky 38, though. But I think you can just go in without talking to House.
That's what happened to me the first time I played NV, lmao. I also finished Fallout 3 -plus all DLC's- without ever meeting Three Dog.
In my most recent playthrough I was considering siding with House, but then he spoke to me like garbage in this bit.
Saying it’s obvious that Caesar allowed me to have the chip back when he never took it from me to start, with no dialogue option to correct House was quite frustrating. I just wore Legion faction armour and walked in 🤷🏼♀️
This game is so good
The platinum chip is just a usb flash drive lol
this actually happened to me on my first playthrough LOL
It's funny how the chip is the main mcguffin at the beginning, you're literally shot over it, but to actually use it, to perform it's main function, is optional. o.O
I did this myself a while ago during my hardmode unnarmed run because i honestly couldn't bother going into the lucky 38, I also found it very irksome when i couldn't go into the bunker without talking to him.
I did this my first play through a few days ago😂 never played newvegas till a week ago!
House's adorable Pixar stare.
This is why I love New Vegas. There’s so many ways for things to happen and things to do. Fallout 3 is completely linear in its quest designs, rarely has any choices, and the order you do things don’t matter. NPCs never have different dialog.
One thing Ive noticed in Fallout 3, when you find your father and he asks you why you left the vault and searched for him, there is no dialogue option to tell him that the Overseer went crazy, killed your fathers friend Jonas, started hunting you down and was ready to torture his own daughter to get information about you
Well, Fallout 3's main goal was not to be a great game with elaborated trees of choices. It was simply to be there, a bridge towards 3D first person away from traditional isometric Fallout 1 and 2. And a blasphemy at that, as many people still think, though NV is quite a jewel.
@@tatianapreobrazhenskaya9777
Fallout 4 is even more shallow, though. I'd compare Bethesda's games to an amusement park ride. It's good for a thrill, even looks good and you'll have a fun experience. The problem is if you want anything resembling depth, you'll quickly find out how cardboard cutout it all is.
I enjoyed Fallout 3
@mbii7667 There's nothing wrong with enjoying Bethesda Fallout. It's just that many people regard those games as being like theme park rides: fun in the moment, but forgettable as soon as they end. Their stories are OK as long as you don't think about them too hard, but they quickly unravel under scrutiny. Some of us just prefer the character and choice driven nature of Classic Fallout.
The fact I got this on my very first playthrough
I unknowingly had this encounter 💀 idk I guess I just wanted to explore all my options before going straight to House so I met up with Caesar and ended up right there in the bunker
i did this once and was surprised they accounted for it
you also get a unique response if you refuse to work for mr house then go to fortification hill.
Who would have known Odo was on Earth back then...
Why are you holding the Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle like its got poo all over it?
He is playing with a higher than normal Field of View so it gives the game an almost fishbowl looking effect which makes the gun look funny.
@@sunlight-sky151 I figured as much. I just thought the poo bit was funnier.
@@notinspectorgadget FOV 90 to be exact
who says it doesnt
@@PhilBraxton The view model FOV can be set separately from the camera FOV. Unless you like it when it looks goofy.
I got this dialogue on my first playthrough.
what graphics mods are you using?? This looks smooth as hell!!
He reminds me of James March from American Horror Story.
This is how I did it the first time becuase i thought i could meet him later.
In my first playthrough when I got invited to the lucky 38 his robots would just shoot me so I never really got the chance to do the house always wins side quest
The main reason I saw siding with House unfair was "Why should he get to own the whole city?"
But then I realised it wasn't the whole city just the buildings on the strip, which he owned before the war
There is also a different dialog if you sleep with benny instead of killing him, and dont meet with house
Odo is Amazing
How do we end up here.
@@dr.julianbashir9193 listen to the voice of Mr. House in Fallout New Vegas.
this happened to me on my first playthough lol
Fornication Hill bunker
This happened to me on my first play through
It happend in my first playtrough
I mean, if I recall this happened to me
That was my normal playtrough…
Holey moley. Nice thing
Greatest game ever.
Exactly. I will forever love this game
I would’ve enjoyed FO4 more if it wasn’t so shitty compared to New Vegas.
I actually did this on my first ever full playthrough! I waltzed into the strip then shot Benny, then did a bunch of side quests (forgetting that house exists) and I wanted to go blow Ceasars brains out. I was very dissapointed when I had to go into the basement and meet house, so dissapointed that I decided to kill house instead
this actually happened the first time i played
Sweet! What if you meet Yes Man too, though, and he sends you on this quest? Or does that not happen until House is dead?
nv is goated
Wait a minute…is that Odo I hear?
Time to play Fallout NV again, I guess.
i did this on my first playthrough
I actually did this on my first playthrough
I did this by complete accident on my first playthrough
sounds like Rene Auberjonois
It is. He did the voice for the game
Would there be another dialogue if you hadn’t killed Benny yet?
Honestly... in my eyes supporting House isn't a bad idea. The guy never truly was a bad guy and genuinely attempts to make a positive difference around New Vegas.
Sure there is the risk of ending up with atleast a bit of a Police state in the end, but considering the Fallout universe that is not necessarily a bad thing if the security and wellbeing of civilians is assured.
It would be a little like living in a company sponsored city with a Ceo who really isn't too bad.
What if theres a power outage, he dies and a greedier person takes over? House is playing with death here so its likely
@@carlosemilio5180 well iam pretty sure he is clever enough to consider plenty of failsafes. Knowing house it won't be anywhere close to enough to just cut the power from the building.
He's the man with the plan, seriously his plan for a regionally localized super power focused on tech re-advancement and an eventual mars colony to get all the eggs out of one basket it the most realistic, AND no matter which point it fails at is a net boon to society. He dies in a year? An independent and politically stable New Vegas, yay. A decade, basic needs tech advances, yay. He falls short at only the moon, that's the avenue to global comms, yay.
Yeah, police states suck, starving is worse.
NCR? already failing due to overreach and political bloat
Legion? Working right now in the expansion phase, but bad transition plan to a non war economy and the current leader wont live to do it himself and has no suitable successor who even wants to. If the Courier did it, instant civil war.
Yes man? It ends with a AI rebellion cliffhanger
Sure you could... or you could throw General Lee Oliver off the Hoover Dam.
Remind me what exactly was on the chip
Why do people keep putting images of Andrew Ryan in Fallout? I never finished Fallout 3; so what do I know?
YO MR HOUSE IS ODO?
did this with my 1 intelligence character
Todd howard does not deserve to have the fallout IP anymore
What do you do as far keeping the game from crashing?

Back here because of the finale of Fallout series!
first time i ever played this game i dropped acid and met house this way, my friends were new vegas vets and they hadnt heard this line before so it was super sick. crazy to think this game was only made in 18 months
Urgh the bugs cost this game too much. Bad ratings are all from the bugs
To be fair, it was made in like a year in a half.
Hard to find enjoyment in a game that is so immersive that you forget to save but crashes & wipes out that immersive o frequently that eventually you can't be bothered to continue.
I have played FNV for hundreds of hours, my last two playthroughs were max completitionist playthroughs, did everything I could, went to every map marker and explored it, even wiki'd to make sure I did every quest I possibly could. And yet here I am, wanting to play through it again. There is just something about this game man.
This is the only Fallout title I replayed more than once to get all the endings, and to do some optional challenges as well (such as hunting Legendary enemies) I didn't even bother to do in the other games of the series.
I played Fallout 1, 2, 3 and 4, and while they all are good games, New Vegas has been the one who stood out for me the most too. Only Fallout 1 gets pretty close to me for being the first game, and also because the writing, the atmosphere and role playing possibilities were as excellent as NV.
It would have been even better if he just looked at you and said *_Who the fuck are you?_*
This kinda happens if you talk to the console, then immediately leave
I kinda did this by accident
You didn't show what happens if you try to go down there without talking o House, the door will not open
i have a better IF, what IF you get the chip before meeting house.
"Fortification hill bunker" As opposed to just calling it Bunker Hill?
They had to save the name for some random settlement in fallout 4 duh
If this was bethesda themselves this wouldve sequence broken the game and charged you direct debit for $8.25

House=💩
*Caesar
@@kaj7135 Why should I choose, I'll take them both.
100% proof that the creator of the Fallout series doesn't like the California faction. Mr. House is supposed to appear in season 2 but is officially killed off in fallout new vegas...coincidence? This is proof that the creator of the Fallout series does not like the New California faction.
Wut
I actually did this on accident in my playthrough. Heading right in to see House seemed like a bad idea at the time, and I also really wanted to kill Caesar.
