Mr. House Faction

Post » Sun Jul 03, 2011 10:02 pm

1. Alright first what is the true name of his faction/country I mean the legion and ncr have faction names so what is the name of Mr. Houses faction. (please answer this cause i'm puzzled by this)

2. How come the only allie you can get to help in hoover dam is The Boomers (I mean Mr. house doesn't even get help from the families) I mean you should be able to get more help than that, I know mr. house has a small army of securitrons but you should be able to have more help from the great khans, Remnants (you can only have them help NCR or Legion), Brotherhood of Steel, or even an army you can create just by getting some of help from the Independent towns of the Mojave.

3. Why in mr. houses play through is there no way of helping out the followers of apocalypse so that they can help freeside better I mean mr. house has the mean of supporting them

4. Why does Mr. House hat the Brotherhood of Steel so much and wont let them become allies with him.

5. Why are the Securitrons the only robots in his army he owned a company that made robots and he didn't even wan't to add some variety in it.

If anyone fan or anyone from bethesda answer why these factors are like this or better yet change these factors so u can make mr. houses playthrough more enjoyable and make it feel more like helping mr. house forge a nation (this also goes for yes man because I mean there pretty much the same kind of play through with moderate changes.) Thank You

I'll answer 4: The reason he hates the BoS is that they want to control and regulate tech. If they had their way, House would have no robots and they'd have them instead. I don't think the BoS would ever join forces with House unless he promised them retribution against the NCR. Even then then relationship would be tenuous at best.

I can try and answer 5: The securitrons are a design of robot that is unique to Mr. House being that he was the one who created them. With the securitrons being the only ones that guard the strip, it can probably be assumed that they are the most efficient of any of his other robot designs. There isn't really enough information to go on in trying to guess which robot is easier and faster to produce. All we can really tell is that if Mr. House uses Securitrons to defend not only the Strip, but himself as well, it may be that Securitrons are the most combat effective units in his arsenal, giving him no need to seek out any other type of robot and add it to his army.

1. If you mean in the reputation of your pip-boy I don't think here is one, but he refers to it as the "Free Economic Zone of New Vegas" in his treaty with the NCR.
2. House wants the NCR and the Legion to slug it out with him coming in at the end to clean up and secure Vegas. As a result, he doesn't need an army, but you can get those groups to help you at the dam on a Mr. House playthrough by having them ally with the NCR.
3. I would guess it's because he doesn't see them as necessary because he can do better than them?
4. See above.
5. Because with the mark II OS they were the most advanced robots that he could mass produce? Also they have a screen from which he can communicate and he doesn't want to have to send out a securitron somewhere whenever he wants to communicate.

1. Well in lamens terms the faction would most likely be called Free New Vegas, or Humanity if you want to stretch it. House is all about a New Vegas free from NCR and Legion oppression, while simultaniously amassing a fortune to kickstart humanity.

2. Mainly for this reason: Why rely on the fickleness that is the human mind? A robot can be programmed to carry out a specific order and does it without question. With a Securitron there is no room for them to stop and think "Am I really making the right decision here...?"

3. This isn't really known. :shrug: For all we know, after he annexes Freeside, he starts helping them. :shrug:

4. House doesn't necessarily hate the BoS. He see's them as a future obstacle, which is why he won't align himself with them. They'd just turn around and fight him for the technologies he has, and as House says, it's a war he can win, but would rather not fight.

5. The securitrons are the most lethal robots he has produced after the Mark II OS. THere really isn't a need for any other robot.

1. The Free Economic Zone of Vegas
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Order_of_withdrawal
2.The families wouldn't give him much help since he already took care of their problems and has Securtons on the strip. He probably thinks the Khans are savages who simply want to raid things (They are). And he would fear the Enclave or BOS would betray him for the robots later on.
3. He doesn't support their altruism because they keep Freeside stable. He wants LESS slum dwellers and the FoA simply keep more alive.
4. See 2
5. What's already been said, the Mo2 is the most advanced, and fast.

1. Mr. House's faction could essentially be called New Vegas.

2. House doesn't need anymore allies/already has allies. The Boomers and the BoS are the only factions in his eyes that could interfere with his operations, so he wants those settled. The Boomers could potentially be peaceful, so they can become allies, whereas the BoS probably wouldn't be peaceful. As for the Strip families, he does have you check up on one, and while they don't help in the battle, he does double-check to make sure their allegiance is with him.

3. Mr. House is a man who has a goal and a plan to get there. He doesn't care about the small steps along the way: he sees the big picture. Mr. House arguably only rescued you and saved your life because he saw a potential use for you, NOT out of the goodness of his heart. His goal is progress for humanity on a technological level, putting them back to work and increasing the productivity of mankind drastically. For this, he needs funding and for funding, he needs New Vegas under his control, which means he has to win the battle. Thus, the battle is his utmost priority during the gameplay of New Vegas. During the Battle of Hoover Dam, there's simply no practical use for the FotA and thus he doesn't concern himself with them. Same with afterwards: after the battle his priority changes to making a profit, and it's doubtful that his 'clients' have health problems. However, I would think it's safe to assume that somewhere down the line, Mr. House WOULD have a use for them. It's just a matter of bad timing with their arrival.

4. In his own words, "they're ridiculous." The Brotherhood of Steel is an organization that believes the best way to prevent another Great War from destroying the world is by hording the technology that helped it happen, so they horde and confiscate every piece of technology they find, then they end up using that very same tech to secure more tech. They believe that ONLY the Brotherhood is responsible enough to use such tech. Mr. House has the problem that he runs New Vegas with technology, and he was able to survive the Great War and live this long thanks to technology. Hell, it's arguable that Mr. House himself IS technology at this point, and thus, according to the Brotherhood, must be secured or destroyed. It's a pre-emptive strike on Mr. House's part to go after the Brotherhood, knowing they'd never agree to Mr. House's way of running things and could pose a serious threat to him in the future. He especially doesn't want them taking part in the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, ruining his plans.

5. He does have other robots guarding his securitron vault. The thing is though that Mr. House doesn't need Mr. Handys: he'd rather have human workers. What he does need is security, and his Securitrons are the top-of-the-line in security.
It's also worth noting that the game heavily implies that Mr. House can hook up to any and all Securitrons within his range, seeing what they see and controlling them remotely. It implies they monitor the Strip for him and act as his eyes and ears. He most likely has a network set up that Securitrons specifically are compatible with, and nothing else would be able to hook up to it and act as his direct eyes and ears. Therefore, for the purposes he's looking for, everything else is obsolete.

Mr. House's faction is the strip, of course.
