Mr. House....

Killing him felt....wrong. I physically felt bad. This is strange to me in a video game. After I want on my first sociopathic rampage in Fallout 3 I've become kind of immune to it (in video games). I'll go as far as to say I could be considered a bleeding heart in real life, but as I mentioned before video games just aren't a problem anymore. However, this... oh my god this. Maybe it was just his situation. Maybe it was how he responded to things I said (Humanity's future.....slavery.....what have you done...). I would have to say "props" to that voice actor. That tugged at some strings. I mean, I don't totally believe Caesar is bad intentioned or anything, and I didn't going in to the lucky 38. But that one line especially made me have some huge doubts. I wanted to just put him back in his tube and walk away like it never happened. However, he says that'll he'll just die in a year from infection anyway, so I decided to just end it. Completed the objective and headed back to Caesar. Slowly.

Anybody else feel this way?

Totally agree with you.

The fact that I actually felt emotion for a character in New Vegas makes it better than Fallout 3(which had very little interesting characters, and none of them I grew attached to).

Of course, this is just my opinion.

He took to long to talk so I skipped it and then shocked him :P

Before I shocked him I punched him up a bit xD

Well I'm on really bad terms with Caesars Legion. I am liked by the NCR, but have been conflicted over which way to complete this quest.

You see, stupid me got curious after refusing to give Mr. House the chip and killing his robots, I got to exploring, then actually found him old, feeble, and generally a sad case (I killed him then reloaded) . Now I don't know which way i want to go, especially after I had a discussion with Yes Man.

Ahh the choices we have to make. I don't remember being this conflicted about a decision while playing FO3. Maybe better writing, or better voice acting?

Possibly a combination of the two.
