Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill this man and run New Vegas myself

He sucks a mean cock

>>719924913 (OP)
he is carrying the whole game, without him, the game sucks.

>>719924913 (OP)
He has the same name as the character Dr. House from the hit show Dr. House

>>719924913 (OP)
He's like 100 years old and probably knows more than you. He'd be a useful ally.

Why would you want to get caught up in the bureaucracy when you could live like a king in one of the hotels while occasionally being sent out as an enforcer?

>>719924913 (OP)
The only time I ever kill him is if I'm doing a BOS-simp run, or a Legion run. There's pretty much never a reason to kill him otherwise. Even on a NCR playthrough, I roleplay that having a functioning soverign Vegas under House is better for the NCR in the long term.

>>719924913 (OP)
Legion playthrough every single game. You can wipe your ass with lore because New Vegas is never getting a sequel. Legion is the only faction with fun missions. Everything is terrorism.

>>719924913 (OP)
You're not smart enough to do a better job.

>>719924913 (OP)
Guenuinly the best option for vegas but I killed him because my Courier is insane and I hate my bosses irl

Only gay niggerfaggots that suck massive black cocks from reddit dont side with house

Being in charge is tiring.

>>719924913 (OP)
You are a black man.

>>719924913 (OP)
Hes technically the best way to get humanity back up to speed quicker as he still has the knowledge and power to revitalize old world tech (assuming we're not counting big mountain shenanigans).

>>719924913 (OP)
You should play a real video game instead

>>719924913 (OP)
huh

>>719924913 (OP)
You should kill him, but also fuck New Vegas. Go out into the wastelands and punch nibbas. By that point you're basically a god anyways.

>>719925416
The NCR storms the Kings compound with ARs and slaughters them just for the ability to tax fresh water

>>719926673
Kings ask you to walk into a food clinic and murder every single person inside. I only pick team terrorist.

>>719924913 (OP)
Same reason the US didn't kill all those nazi scientists.

>>719924913 (OP)
>give me one good reason not to pick up a job right now
Picking up the pieces is gonna be such a pain in the ass.
Why would you want to destroy the foundation unless you wanted to watch it crumble?

>>719925416
>Everything is terrorism
House doesn't care if you kill the Boomers or the leadership of the White Gloves and Omertas. He asks you not to kill Caesar but doesn't care if you do, you can speech check him into not being mad that you "accidentally" assassinated the President yourself. He's got final lines lamenting that it's going to take years for Vegas to recover from the shitshow your work has made of it.

he is an expert in playing political games, (you) while being a genuis and a one man walking genocide would do a shit job at running things

courier is the house equivalent of Lanius and Lucius combined, House is your mentor and benefactor, you are his tard wrangler and problem solver

house is the thinking man's ending, even if you love NCR, its better for them in the long run to not have the likes of kimball as a ruler

>>719924913 (OP)
You should. Show Howard Hughes that you're not taking his shit!

Do it, pussy.

House is too incompetent but damn, I don't want to be in charge. I wish I could put someone else that's not the Legion or NCR in the throne.

>>719924913 (OP)
Why would your Courier want to try and tardwrangle all the factions in the Mojave on a permanent basis instead of letting House handle it?

>>719924913 (OP)
He has centuries of experience running shit and is a scientific, engineering and economic genius.

>>719924913 (OP)
>He plays Troon Vegays

>>719927967
Because he failed to tardwrangle one (1) city whose ruling factions he could pick and choose at his leisure?

He has the same voice actor as Odo. Odo was one of the best characters in Ds9.

>>719928019
He literally does not have centuries of experience running shit. He's spent like a handful of years actually running New Vegas and some more years as a CEO. The majority of these hundreds of years were spent in an empty city.

>>719927469
>everything is terrorism
No. I'm saying there are specific quests which instruct you to kill unarmed civilians. Working for Legion, you must kill the president, blow up a monorail, and kill every member of the Brotherhood of Steel. That one specific King's quest also let the player shoot up a charity all because it cut into the King's profits.

In Fallout 3, there is that Tenpenny Tower quest which is pretty crazy. You have to kill this ghoul named Roy, but Roy offers a different plan. He tells you to walk in and slaughter every single resident in Tenpenny Tower. Very fucked because no one is armed besides a few guards. Then Roy lets you blow up an entire city for no reason. Crazy guy, and most people never play his side of the quest.

>>719928019
>He has centuries of experience
Like 40 years of running a Pre-War corporation and 7 years of running the Strip

>>719928096
Major difference is that the securitron upgrade gives House a means to tardwrangle that he lacked before. Also, if the issue was just competence, you have the NCR and Legion as alternatives to trying to rule yourself.

The good ending is eating the Platinum Chip.

>>719924913 (OP)
That would require you to play Fallout: New Vegas.

>>719924913 (OP)
He's a cool green guy on a screen

>>719924913 (OP)
Because you should be playing Chadout 3 instead

>>719924913 (OP)
He's very smart.
You are stupid.

>>719924913 (OP)
Because you are too retarded and lazy to do it yourself.

>>719926165 >>719927621 >>719928019 >>719929734
House has 5 int
Lanius and Kimball are both smarter than him

>>719930693
NPC SPECIAL is meaningless

>>719930926
Then why does everyone yap on about Caesar having less int that a molerat?

>>719930994
It's a meme you dip

>>719931013
It's a meme people use as a genuine argument against the legion

>rags to riches self made billionaire
>single handedly climbed to being one of the most powerful men in the pre-war world
>founded and ran RobCo(named it after himself, deal with it)
>invented the pipboys used by every protagonist
>wrote the operating system on every terminal still operating since the great war
>made protectrons
>made sentry bots
>made assaultrons
>made eyebots
>made stealth boys
>made securitrons
>made AN ARMY of securitrons
>made Liberty Prime(with help from General Atomics)
>nearly perfectly predicted when the bombs would drop
>shot down most of the nukes
>survived the great war and used his advanced life extending tech to keep himself alive
>succeeded and became the longest living human in history(excluding mutant ghouls)
>positioned himself to be one of the most powerful men in the post-war world
>saves the courier and offers him/her the world as his right hand
>will repave roads, lay pipe, build water purifiers, aqueducts, irrigation tech, air conditioners, automobiles, repair train tracks and freight trains, security robots and turrets and weapons to eradicate the raider and mutant menaces
>will send robots to mine asteroids and find new planets for mankind to colonize

>>719924913 (OP)
He's got a cool mustache

>>719931103
>rags to riches
He was the heir to the H&H Tools fortune, he didn't grow up in anything like poverty. Even if his half-brother stole the inheritance he obviously had money, education and contacts to get him started.

>>719931759
>orphaned at the age of two when his parents died in a freak accident involving an autogyro and a lightning strike.[3] Cheated out of his inheritance by his half-brother, Anthony,[Non-game 1] he nevertheless managed to achieve attendance to the Commonwealth Institute of Technology and later went on to found RobCo Industries in 2042, at the age of 22.

>>719931879
Now point out the part where he grew up in poverty and pulled on his own bootstraps hard enough to make a billion dollars by 30. Because it doesn't happen.

>>719928989
Good morning, beautyfull.

>>719932807
Point out the part where he had connections and education as a 2 year old.

You're mad because a video game character is successful lol, brokie

>>719924913 (OP)
There is no reason. They put yes man in the game so the player didn't have to make a choice. Because they hate role-playing. Unlike in 4 where it doesn't baby you.

>>719924913 (OP)
your MC would then be stuck with running new vegas by themselves. If house wants it so bad he can have it. leaves you free to do whatever the fuck and not be tied down

>>719931053
Then theyre genuinely retarded

>>719933050
the whole fucking game 4 is in baby mode there isn't anything edgy or compelling about it, all your choices and actions are streamlined and almost meaningless unlike Vegas where it branches. God todd and you retarded drones ruined this franchise

>>719933661
You should actually try playing the games some time.

>>719924913 (OP)
Because there's no reason to not just mentor under him? Because everything you dipshits fanfiction you could do you can also do while gaining his knowledge?

>>719924913 (OP)
He's smarter than you and honorable enough for that not to be a problem.

>>719925831
This. The NCR is already stretched thin and showing worrying signs of corruption and bureocracy bloat, and the Legion is Islam without the prayers

>>719925049
He thinks hes going to colonize space, hes obviously senile

>>719928019
Hes too stupid to write a targeting program for securitron rocket launchers. They already have guns so all you have to do is modify that. Hes an elon musk ceo shill bro

>>719924989
>if the game wasn’t good it would suck
stunning analysis

well for starters, there is no ending where you get to run the city yourself, so theres no scenario where you can kill him and achieve your goal, making the death and the entire premise pointless

>>719935746
>he's stupid because he can't or won't just rewrite an entire operating system from scratch

>>719936021
...do you not know what an operating system is?

>>719936087
>Have Windows 7
>want to upgrade to Windows 10
>could wait for someone to find the USB drive with the functional, feature complete W10 on it
>or spend all your time writing a new Windows 10 based on what you remember of the features list, with limited ability to test or debug it properly
Don't fucking pretend you'd do it even if you had 100 years in a tube with nothing better to do.

>>719933050
Yes Man is there because you can ruin your reputation with the other three factions, and they also gave him the most boring ending slides. it's for kids who play the game like GTA.

>>719936414
I guess thats a no. Also not to.encourage this ridiculous goalposting dimension hopping but in the analogy it woule be writing a few kernel extensions for win7 which multiple people are actively doing right now

Honestly I have 0 desire to rule. House does nothing to set the Courier up for failure. You deliver the chip, ask for more caps and you can either go on with your life or seek further employment. He doesn't press the issue, because by all accounts he has what he needs but realizes the potential in yourself. Continued employment under him means you have the backing of the most powerful man in the West Coast with an entire state of resources at his disposal. Even if you think House's plan for space travel is outlandish there is no safer or more luxurious foundation than a suite in the Lucky 38 surrounded by elite robots, with enough caps and guns to fill all your needs. And if you take in the best ending possible, almost everyone wins. NCR learns a hard lesson but naturally they'll be back in time. Legions fucked to hell.

>>719924913 (OP)
Because you could be fucking hookers in the presidential suite while House does all the work instead of you

>>719925049
He's also out of touch. And out of time when I hit him with my golf club and eat him

>>719938016
Who isn't out of touch in FNV's leadership? Besides Raul, Graham and maybe Cass nobody has enough pragmatism and logic in their day to day or grand decisions.

>>719924913 (OP)
>Caesar entered The Strip as though it was his Triumph. The Legion pushed the NCR out of New Vegas entirely, driving them back to the Mojave Outpost. The Legion occupied all major locations, enslaving much of the population and peacefully lording over the rest. Under the Legion's banner, civilization - unforgiving as it was - finally came to the Mojave Wasteland.

>>719938186
this guy.

>>719924913 (OP)
You can make him work for you

>>719939874
>and party out of fear.

>>719924913 (OP)
Because every other option sucks in comparison
>NCR are incompetent libtards mired in corruption and inefficient bureaucracy
>Legion is run by a chuddy balding midwit who will die of cancer and still uses stone age tactics
>Yes Man option is putting the future of the Mojave in the hands of a rogue AIslop

A smart Courier lets House lord over New Vegas while you do stuff in Big MT and in the Sierra Madre.

>>719941737
>and in the Sierra Madre.
wtf are you supposed to do there?

>>719924913 (OP)
Having to run Vegas personally is the reason I didn't kill him.
I've got better things to do in my postgame daydreams than governance. He does a good enough job, and instead of micro-managing a bunch of retarded tribals you get to live in luxury while House does all the boring stuff.
Win-win.

>>719941825
lots of resources there, plus all the fucking vending machines
