I've spent so much time in this game that when I hear "Las Vegas" even in real life my brain needs a moment to catch up and rememer that that's the actual name of the place
It's weird that a ghoul who was alive at the time doesn't even theorize that House mightve turned into a ghoul. I mean, we all know he didn't, but that seems like an obvious conclusion for him.
I mean if you haven’t heard from someone for over 200 years and everything is literally a post apocalyptic horror show and they are ridiculously unbelievably rich with a lot of top notch technology do you think the first thought is that someone is a ghoul or that they found a way to somehow survive normally if they hadn’t already kicked the bucket? Lol
Ghoulification requires pretty drastic radiation exposure from what I understand, and House managed to divert a *lot* of nukes from the Vegas strip. Between that and being an eccentric recluse, I don't think it's unreasonable for even ghouls to go "Yeah that guy's probably not a ghoul. Not unless he took a vacation from his fortified anti-nuclear fortress the day the bombs dropped."
It's amazing how Mr. House describing why he was absent for 200 years is more interesting than the entirety of Starfield even though he's just spouting techno babble.
I'm sure you're aware, and it can be modded on PC, but on Xbox, I'm able to glitch pretty much infinite ammo onto companions. Load Boone up with like 20k rounds of 5mm surplus and give him either an assault rifle or mini gun and he basically never runs out of ammo and shreds even more. The paltry accuracy penalty is barely noticeable with those guns, and the extra condition penalty doesn't even apply to companions. Win/win!
Raul's testimony shows that by "Vegas' surrounding area", House meant like at least a fifth of the United States and probably a portion of Mexico. The dude probably saved millions of lives. But the chaos and global collapse that followed took them.
Wrong, Mr. House was part of the team that launched the nukes in the first place. He helped finance vault-tec, vault-tec blew up the world, and in exchange vault-tec “gave” Robert House the rights to Las Vegas after the war.
Wrong, Mr. House sat next to Vault-tec when they launched the nukes. He financed Vault-Tec and their Armageddon, and in exchange Vault-Tec “gave” Robert House the rights to Las Vegas after the bombs fall.

Never thought much about how Vegas is the only place in that good of a shape, I just assumed the nukes were focused on military bases and not civilian populated areas
to debug an OS you have to revert to a previous version that is such a IT problem solving problems thing to do it just works and if you ask you dare awaken the computer gods to your presence
House is such a fascinating character. He's an incredibly smart genius who saw the real end of the world coming with concrete certainty. It's no wonder he ended up insane, in his own megalomaniacal, ultra-controlling fashion, especially considering he actually did have the means to prevent annihilation for his own little oasis of the old world. It's like if Bruce Wayne became a doomsday prepper on behalf of Gotham. Obsidian was really cooking with New Vegas.
@@ashgonza92 Jeez, I thought I made it clear I didn't think he was a very good role model by calling him megalomaniacal, ultra-controlling, and insane. I'm not some libertarian Reddit edgelord, dude - I just think the major characters of New Vegas, House included, are fascinating. Am I allowed to think that?
Because it doesn’t “belong” to the Strip… I think the Strip in game is pretty big if compare to real life, and House doesn’t care enough to protect its surround area.
Uuum, you do know how Shockwaves work, right? Even if none of the misses hit Vegas, any that struck in the nearby deserts would have sent out a blast of energy capable of destroying brick buildings. Compared to, say, Primm, Freeside looks fine. If anything, it was 200 Years of tribal warfare, inclement weather, and erosion that ruined Freeside.
@@demondeity9816 Yeah, there are buildings that are dilapidated but still recognizably buildings all over Freeside. That would not be the case anywhere near a nuclear blast.
Nukes aren’t the only thing that’ll destroy buildings. Local gangs, looters, accidental fires, even standard neglect would’ve collapsed a lot of the buildings. The fact that any in Freeside are still standing 200 years after the bomb fell is pretty good luck for the locals, tbh.
TBF we are talking about intercepting Nukes before they are in a range where their EMP and shockwaves wont damage the city. It would be like seeing new stars in the night sky for a few moments from Mexico
@@Zinlain If that was true then people could see SpaceX launches from 1,000 miles away. The furthest anyone has seen a SpaceX launch from California's Vandenberg military base was 300 miles away in Ensenada on a clear night. So seeing them during the day? Cap. The Great War started around 9:45 am EST time. That would be 7:45 am Mexico City time. That would be too bright to see as the Great War happened in the morning in the Western Hemisphere, not night. So you're wrong. You sounded smart but it's wrong when you lay out the data.
I just downloaded the mod that that puts back the cut content where he allows them to live. They cut it cause too many play testers were choosing house.
@@TheJewishAzovMemberIt was cut because it didn't align with the character and created a better narrative for the players. Mr. House is no better than the other factions
The only difference between Mr House and Mr Tenpenny is the writing level. Both did and do the same in their own right but one has Bethesda writing and another Obsidian
My favorite part of the Fallout series is last episode. In the game we are led to believe that Robert House predicted the apocalypse, several terminals and comments from npcs also say the same thing. In the show however, for those who looked closely, you can see that the representative for RobCo at the Vault-Tec meeting, is in fact Robert House before the war. He didn’t predict the end, he sat next to vault tec while they launched the nukes, all the while gaining complete control over new Vegas.
But you have to take that with a grain of salt because Fallout NV came out 14 years ago, while the TV show was recently released. I don't think they talked to the Fallout NV developers about it, but even then, it doesnt invalidate the idea that Mr House made the calculations years before the bombs actually fell. When you look at the meeting, everyone but Mr House suggests ideas, and he is the one who asks "How are you sure the bombs are going to be dropped?". Knowing House, he would have already known the answer, and just wanted a confirmation
@daimpthing Exactly. House is pretty smart, I'd even say a genius, but him predicting it isn't impossible, or even retconned. It's probably on the same level as a teacher knowing which students are gonna cheat beforehand. If anything, the "We drop the bombs ourselves" probably made him go "Okay shit, time to hustle".
@@daimpthing i see what your saying but when a show or game was released chronologically has nothing to do with the actual in story. Bethesda confirmed that the event of the show happened almost immediately after the conclusion of the FONV game
They don’t need to talk to the developers of NV…because Bethesda owns that game. And I imagine anyone who planned on profiting from a nuclear war would want to ask and make sure the bombs will for sure fall. Why begin planning taking over New Vegas if your uncertain vault tec will actually provide the opportunity. There was no uncertainty about it lol, vault tec controlled %50 of everything before the war…they had the money, the resources, the connections. When they told me house the bombs will drop and he confirmed it…he didn’t need to ask anymore questions or provide any other ideas…he already had what he wanted, New Vegas
@@daimpthing and if we are talking about prediction, Mr house didn’t predict the end of the world, the world already knew it was almost time, this is obvious. Take the popular beverage nuka cola. A soft drink that millions consumed everyday. The ingredients in nuka cola were horrible, they purposely made every bottle with radiation. Everyone knew the end was inevitable so they just stopped caring
Elon is a very competent fraudster, but that's it. Frauded his investors in Zip4 by showing them a fake server room. Frauded Tesla by promising thousands of sales a week and promoted solar panels that were fake (Solar City, at best, sold a thousand units in its lifetime). Advertised FSD with a commercia where the car crashed and no FSD was actually used, which of course is edited out and undisclosed, and then wrote on the ad "the person driving the car isn't doing anything, he's only there for legal purposes." A multi-layer lie, since not only was he actually driving, if YOU crash in your Tesla while it's on FSD, Tesla's attorneys will tell you FSD is just a level 2 driving system and you, in fact, are the driver of the vehicle. This is just the tip of the iceberg for Elon lies.
This is the only time I’ve ever heard an NPC refer to the area as Las Vegas
Well it wasn’t always New, and it’s not Two-Sun!
I've spent so much time in this game that when I hear "Las Vegas" even in real life my brain needs a moment to catch up and rememer that that's the actual name of the place
Oh man I was wondering why that line sounded really off to me for reasons I didn't fully register, lol
@@LabMattI sometimes think Las Venturas instead of Las Vegas
fallout new vegas is so popular they made a real place because of it@@LabMatt
crazy that Raul was able to see nukes exploding over Las Vegas from Mexico City even though that's over 1,000 miles apart
He can see a lone star a thousand miles away
Well, they’re nukes so
Well, they are Nukes
Can't really not see nuclear misiles exploting in the air like fireworks
@@ionescuandrei1245 good one
If it's blown up at a high enough altitude then you could probably see a flash.
"All he wanted to do was scan her brain and have her wear different outfits."

And learned punctuation in school too.

It technically outdated and unplayable today tho. Even mods can't cover it's lacking engine.
So that’s how Mr House’s “Companion bots” were made. Played the game to death but never really travelled with Raul. ED-E plus Boone OP, never nerf.

Been going through my first nv play through and I love listening to people and reading the terminals
Same here. I was always dissuaded from playing, but after forcing myself to play, I love it!
God I love the writing in this game. It really builds so much into the franchise
Never thought much about how Vegas is the only place in that good of a shape, I just assumed the nukes were focused on military bases and not civilian populated areas
Valut tect and china could have made a deal to collapse the United States
That’s why I always choose House.
The house always wins

I really, really, really hope we get to see the defense of Las Vegas in flashback in the show.
Why? They'd fuck that up, too
1,000 hours in New Vegas, countless playthroughs, but I've never bothered to talk to Beatrix long enough to get that dialogue option.

Raul is so old that his lip-sync doesn't work so good.
It would be so sick if Amazon brought Danny Trejo to play Raul in season 2 of the fallout tv show

Another reason why House ending is canon to the show. Since NCR = Tax, Legion = Slavery, and Independence = Chaos. House = He Won
