Which version of the Hoover Dam battle was the most fun?

I recently picked up and started another playthrough of New Vegas. While there have always been a lot of debate over which faction to support and why, something I'm curious about is which version of the Hoover Dam battle did people enjoy playing the most, and if that was different from the faction you support.

For me, while I prefer Mr. House/Indy ending, I actually prefer the NCR's version of the battle (have not tried the Legion's, which I will this playthrough). While dressing down Gen. Oliver with an army of securitrons is satisfying, I enjoy the NCR version more because it is longer and bigger, while the House/Indy version drops you halfway across the dam, wheras with NCR you have to fight all the way.

Agreed, I enjoyed fighting through Hoover Dam, to see the Boomers bomb the dam and seeing the Enclave come down, it's amazing. And then we get to face down Lanius and either talk him down or fight him.

My second favorite would be Legion, it was fun to chase down Oliver, but honestly, for me it kept crashing for me, and it was a bit annoying.

Mr. House. It feels like the Old World is breathed the breath of life when the Enclave roll in, the B-29, an army of Mk II Securitrons and when Oliver notes the moment House took over the Dam, he feels House got the heart of the Dam beating in new ways. Plus I like the ambiguity of Cass's House victory slide. Oh and the Good Karma Courier ending with House is heart touching to me.

I love it because the last sentence is like that only in the Good Karma ending, showing Mr. House does take pride in 'good', even if quietly. :biggrin:
