Always found interesting that a House/Independent ending is actually better is actually better for the NCR as a whole since the imperialist agenda of the politicians and the barons is the thing making things worst back in their territory, to lose the Dam and New Vegas to a third party that isn't openly hostile to the republic puts the politicians and their agenda on a halt and completely demoralizes them for a time. As always, we can't really say that just removes the threat, especially if we take real world inspiration about failed ventures (such as how the Vietnam War was a public fiasco, however, fast fowards a few decades and you've got the US invading Afghanistan on not very different pretenses over "national security").

Good find on this ending, Outpeer.
