Forum:What is Mr House's deal???

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out what the deal is with Mr House. Everywhere I look on the internet it says he is neutral. But then he talks about restoring mankind's greatness, and when you unseal him from his chamber he says that "so much good has been undone" because of your actions. That means he was doing something good.... so what the he**? I don't get it. If you side with him, the NCR hates you and Mr House runs Vegas like a dictator, yet it says he was going to do so many good things. This doesn't make any sense to me.

Welcome to a true fallout game, where there there is no black and white. I think you'll understand better Houses' intentions when you listen to his speech when he wins. He does have plans, but they involve him being at the top. He has plans for space travel and more. He's a benevolent dictator - ss long as you don't directly oppose him or get in his way, you'll can do what you want. Agent c 01:36, February 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I interpret it as follows: House has a philosophy akin to that of Thomas Hobbes, who famously supposed that, in the absence of a strong ruler, human life would be "nasty, brutish, and short." House believes that having a single authoritarian ruler is the best form of government for everybody involved.


 * Coupled with that are two major factors:


 * 1. He wants power for himself, as do we all, to a certain extent.
 * 2. He has an ego the size of a zeppelin.


 * All of these factors taken together mean that, from Mr. House's perspective, having himself as the feudal lord of New Vegas would be the best solution for everybody involved, since his ego makes him view himself as the most competent ruler. The "good that has been undone" applies to himself, as you have killed his dream, and to the people of New Vegas, as you have deprived them of what he views as the perfect system of government.

House is over 200 years old has n army of military platoons on wheels and is a computer/mummy/corpse/robot must you question himFryingpan57 06:35, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

Simply put, he's a narciscist. Just read the note added to your pipboy after you off him, his self written "obituary" and you come to understand that he's really just like Ceasar: a power hungry, megalomaniacal, egotistical tyrant. The only real difference between the two of them is that Ceasar is more cruel, and House is more egotistical. Both believe that they are gods gift to the world, it's just that House is so much more in your face about it.

House's "deal" is that he's the only person with an actual plan for the rebuilding of humanity. -Schneidend 04:25, February 12, 2011 (UTC)
