Opinions on Mr. House's Future

Post » Mon Jul 11, 2011 1:22 pm

If you beat Mr. House's campaign with very good karma, kept the kings alive (meaning you didn't ease tension between them and NCR), kept President Kimbal and Caesar alive, and Mr. House retook Vegas...


What do you think happened to Vegas in the far future assuming Mr. House held to his promise to save humanity with his advanced technology and extremely high IQ?



Alternatively, what do you believe happens to the NCR? Do you think they attempt to retake Vegas again in the future? Or maybe crumble because of spreading corruption and doubts in the government?




Personally I really liked Mr. House despite his Totalitarian rule. He really seemed to have a huge vision for the good of humanity. I was just disappointed that the ending didn't focus more on what he did for it, but instead focused on how he retook vegas and his pride in the Courier.

Honestly, I doubt much would change. It would still be the Strip, run by him. It would still be the Mojave Waste that nobody cared about. If anything I could see him getting worse, becoming more of a tyrant with his practically unstoppable army. I get the feeling his "vision" was just a load of crap he used to justify his actions.

As for the NCR, I could see them collapsing in on themselves. They would probably try to retake the Mojave but, once enough of their men were slaughtered, I doubt they would continue. Maybe they expand into Oregon instead?

I generally think House is the best choice out of all the factions.

He most likely would eventually make good on his promises for a more technollogically advanced and ecnomically stable future for New Vegas and a brighter course for humanity.

Their probably would be more attemps to retake it, but due to the upgraded securitrons an dother defenses I doubt any of the factions would have a big chance of taking Vegas.

NCR IMO will probably last, and maybe even in harmony with House since the NCR is one of his best "customers". House advances humanity ecnomically and technological from Vegas while NCR (after eventually defeating Casear's Legion) provides stability to the rest of the region.

Vegas would probably after some decades or centuries become some kind mega-city utopia filled with House's scientific advancements.

I think House deserves to control the Mojave. He earned that right when he saved millions of lives and the infrastructure of humanity by shooting down and disabling dozens of nukes. He is a brilliant engineer who has proven his competence countless times over. I like the NCR, but I don't think they have the capacity to accomplish what House can.

Add another one who has that opinion.


As for the NCR, I believe failing or succeeding in taking the Mojave area would have giant long term consequences.

Annexing the Strip with it's incredible income and point of trade, could mean a huge boost to them as a nation financially. They seemed to be have begun creating sources of industry in the area in fields of construction, as well as scientific research and agriculture. Not to mention the giant water resource of Lake Mead, which they seem to now base their currency upon, and see it as a resource worthy enough to base it's value upon. It's ready supply coupled with it's distance could possibly average out to preserve the value of their money.
Could be the fuel for an explosion in agricultural output. It's water also seems to be the Legion's resource-minded interest in the region as well. Water must be a major point of holding power in the time period of the fallout universe, all the consideration toward it taking in mind.

Most importantly of all, there's the Dam. The electricity generation seems to be the only real reason they're so heavily interested in the area. Losing that would be a giant blow to their continuing social and economic progress.

House's future consists of being fertilizer in my games.
