Haha. Yeah they kind of are. I really just like how they're different than everyone else. Dressed all fancy like. AND THEIR MASKS..
Those masks give me the jeebies. Creepy as hell.
Anyways I'm working on my Mr. House playthrough right now. And I like him. It's kind of odd how much trust he puts in you from the start. I mean, the first time you're allowed in. You can open the hidden door to the right of Mr. House and walk right into his chamber and murder him.
Y'know, I'm always quick to defend House, but I really don't understand how House could leave that terminal practically unguarded. Yeah, there are a couple of Securitrons, though they're easily bypassed. Just bomb passed them. What is the need for the terminal being there, in the first place? It shouldn't have been so simple to kill House; I cannot fathom how someone as smart as House could lower his defenses so sloppily? And how about the control room? I would have mounted turrets all over the damn walls. One of the few criticisms I have of an otherwise superb story.
As for trust, well, who else does he have to turn to? You're clearly a capable human being and I've no doubt House ran it through first. Made the appropriate calculations. House has a fair amount of leverage on the Courier, too, and has the most too offer.
I hope you enjoy working with House. I won't spoil anything, but down the road he'll designate what many consider a particularly questionable task. Please, PLEASE, do not cut ties at that point
If you value the progress of mankind, then House is your only true option.
