Interesting. It'll be interesting how the VR pods are justified.
I was under the impression Anchorage and Vault 112 were unique, so having Braun build even more VR pods seems kind of odd.
And omg, House looks like a computer. D:
Pleasepleaseplease, let it just be a Wizard of Oz-type sham, where House is just a massive germophobe (in true Howard Hughes style) so he's holed up somewhere and wants nobody to pay any attention to the man behind the curtain.
Woot, Wizard of Oz references~
I'm hoping the same, though. Since we already had that sort of thing, where a powerful character turned out to be (admittedly, to me, a little amusingly/surprisingly) a computer in FO3. Cool idea and all, but repetitive use of the same concept in different situations is annoying and dull.
I've always figured he's been either preserved in some way, or simply-as you said-hiding out and contacting others through the computer. As he seems almost paranoid about it, from what we've read/heard about him.
