it's not Anthony, he doesn't like his brother
and here he says he's his biggest supporter
Well minus the guy in vault 63 the one in 112
And the one who got abducted
they made the mr house orb
Yeah which is why it makes sense he wants to make the mind control technology to take control of his brother most likely
He literally references the H&H nail gun as paying for his research, Anthony is the one who owned H&H
Anthony was also not sane long before this, like tinfoil hat unstable and erratic
Yea which is why he asks that guy to punch him in the face
He's insane
I really don't see any world where Robert house willingly lets some meat head touch him
My theory is that the Robert house we first saw is actually Robert house, his character gets killed in the events of NV and his brother Anthony takes control of the 38 afterwards somehow
Anthony lost h and h in early 2077
And locked it down months before the war
Ok and, there's nothing saying that scene in the bar takes place in 2077 it could have been 2076 or earlier
Also based on time line anthony was much older than robert he took control of h and h in 2022
Well that just lends credence to my theory because the guy in the bar looks much older than the young House on the tv
Bar House looks at least 50s one on tv looks 26
The automation riots were 2077 and are something bethesda is married to
Anthony House being House in NV would be so terrible
They'd been building up to it for years it didn't just happen then
You have to remember Robert House was cheated out of H&H tools and went on to found RobCo
He hates Anthony, he doesn't hate H&H tools
There's no reason why he wouldn't be proud of what his Father built
Robert house was born 2020 for anthony to inherit he would have to be much older
House was 2 when his dad died
Yes so if H&H isn't Robert houses company why would he be down in a bar talking about H&H nail gun paying for his research it he didn't even own the company to be able to make money from it
actually Robert took over H&H
He was trying to he never succeeded before the war happened
Securitrons have H&H on them
Robert was only 2/3, when anthony took control of the tools
The factory was shutdown in the days leading up to the war the robots were probably in there killing people when the bombs dropped
the Amazon extra page calls him Robert House too
This worsened when RobCo Industries began attempting a corporate takeover, attacking H&H Tools on the stock market.This resulted in Anthony suffering a total mental breakdown, and several months before the Great War, he sealed the Vegas factory and activated its security systems, turning the factory into a deathtrap for centuries to come
Yeah its interesting to know robert was born in 2020
There's no reason why House wouldn't be stating that H&H tools made his family fortune, helped him kickstart RobCo
Doesn't mean much
It being Anthony doesn't go anywhere
So robert would be 57
And anthony in his 70s
It's an M Night Shamalanadingdo twist for nothing
Robert house was cheated out of his inheritance by Anthony, Robert didn't get any money to help him
He was cheated out of his share of H&H tools
No mention of any other money
The line literally says cheated out of his inheritance
Or you know a two year old inheriting is a bad idea
Well that's probably how they cheated him out of it
the trailer shows this Mr house literally on the screen like ingame
Is inheritance was his father's share of H&H
Given robert was a toddler it makes sense how anthony did this but it would still mean anthony is 70 by 2077
that was in FO1. the maxson line would almost immediately throw the altruism of their founder away. his son was already vindictive toward outsiders
Yea they probably have the OG house killed and his brother Anthony took his place
But anyway throwing all that aside, if Justin is Anthony and the house we meet is Anthony, then what does all the information in H&H tools factory mean?
what
Is that just brushed aside?
He is too young to be anthony
Like there's terminals of lore and stuff in the H&H tools factory in NV
Anthony's corpse was never found, his fate is unknown in the games
Anthony also has a lucky 38 executive override key
He was also a gibbering wreck and likely an old man
Where?
I imagine on his desk in the factory
do we really expect the show writers to know that?
I saw it in a video the other day
That was technically meant to be a Followers Quest that wasn't implemented
They knew about the Cut vault 24 so yes
okay good point
You know avalone admitted vault 24 was not cut it was a test jumpsuit
I mean to be fair I think we will know for certain which house this is in the next episode
That's funny
Tim Cain however also went on record stating they wanted to have twice as many vaults in nv
So it's not like the vault doesn't fit in
I still think anthony would look older given he was presumably of age when his dad died
Ok thats interesting when h and h started having its stock bought up no one knew much about rob co and its leader
This implies robert started doing this very early on
i feel ppl are hyperfixating on the body double thing... the real question is what are hank n house up to
beyond the mind control chip
It's not Anthony. Anthony House is at least ten years older than Robert House.
Good point but again
Anthony hated Robert
Here an issue
We don't know pre-war house
Closer to 20ish
And what we do know suggests a petty, aggressive and home bound person
Just a man looking to release his anger on some working class people
You know becuase they keep complaining and weakening house in terms of money and destory his products, etc
What i do wonder is if the three casinos house chose for new vegas infer something about him
Gomorrah
The tops and the ultra luxe
So he likes to drug people, scam people and eat people?
i know hes a prewar businessman, that alone says enough
I meant the casinos themes, though the fact he encouraged the mafia idea for gomorrah is interesting
Because he likes vegas history?
Let the man do whatever he wants with the tribes
Also when house started buying out the tool company the ceo of rob co was not public knowledge
In fact the company is described as a maze
yes the bottom line is he took over a bunch of companies, including his brothers but i dont think thats anything too crazy
prewar businessmen were all just smaller versions of vault tec executives
Its the fact no one could find out he ran rob co despite being its founder-that implies he was quite secretative
every big company would have been trying to out compete each other in extreme exploitation in the run up to the great war knowing it was all going to end anyway
Agreed but i find the fact house not being known as ceo of the company he founded to be odd
But going back to vault tecs corporate get together is it not odd posiedon energy is missing of all companies
What if the house who ended up in the life support pod was actually the body double
Possible
Could even explain any personality differences between Show House and NV House.
Though most sources think the one at vault tecs meeting was the double
It got confirmed by multiple sources it is Robert in the bar.
I don't know why people try to think this deep, when it's literally just Robert House bragging about H&H tools being HIS OWN COMPANY, and that the Unionists are stupid for complaining about a Man - thinking he's the worst why STILL filling his pockets. Using his own company DAILY. In a way calling them sheep, cattle, they don't have the brains to figure it out. They are just part of the masses. It's like complaining about a specific ingredient in food that one man mad, but yet you still use that ingredient, in everything not knowing that the guy you're complaining about made the ingredient.
Probably not this either, because the point of Robert being the way he was in the Cryopod is a DIRECT relation to Howard Hughes. How we find Robert in the pod is a straight reference to Howard Hughes and the way he looked when the polices discovered him and had to use dozens of means of identifying the body. Because it was that far gone in terms of Howard Hughes being a recluse.
It's intended to be a 1 to 1 reference.
And anything would be dead already unless he somehow became a ghoul as much as people don't want to acknowledge it.
Here's more with Amazon straight up confirming it.
As well as it's silly and illogical to assume a big time actor was specifically hired to play Anthony.
I mean yeah we know this for a fact
Woah ranger armor confirmation
Yeah, Rafi's character at the meeting table is probably the House body double that they have been interacting with for God knows how long, and they're none the wiser.
Which is why when Coop visits that body double is specifically the one that brings him up to Robert.
I mean Rafi is the one on the tv
Yeah, they weren't lying about NCR playing a big part later.
It’s blatantly obvious that rafi is the double like we know for sure idk how people are still confused
It's willful ignorance I feel, one read through of the lore and you can see their dislike for each other wasn't one-sided. And given the timeline, Anthony's insanity is at it's worst WHEN Robert buys out H&H the show is implying he's done that. So Anthony is losing his mind atm.
Also Robert owned part of H&H after his father died and still wants the company. He would still be nostalgic and feel ownership of the nail guns
Even if he may not own it at the time of the show
People also are too conspiratorial about who Hank is talking to
That’s clearly house but people try to make everything a twist
Exactly because H&H was intended for Robert and Anthony to rule together. Hence. H&H, House & House.
So when Robert got pushed out of the inheritance, best believe he plotted his takeover. And took his damn time to ensure that plan to take H&H back succeeded.
It’s funny, people will see a single town get nuked and assume a whole country is dead. But when we have stuff spelled out for us they don’t believe it
Well...
we literally debated over if that was anthony or not
So many people are assuming that hank is talking to is either house or the enclave
The enclaves old stomping ground is Vegas?
To be fair
Both are good answer
Neither are bad choices
I believe it house but i dont disagree that there is a chance it can be the enclave
Yes, but there are also words to make you think it's not House either.
Like?
House and begging in the same sentence? In what world, there is no chance House would beg anyone for anything.
Can you cite a whole sentence here?
Just to make things easy for us
I do believe its house and not the enclave but i am not gonna pretend enclave cant be a possible choice
Hank implying that House would have to beg him specifically for help is crazy.
I’m at work and can’t pull it up
"You are going to beg me to help you"
I'll find the quote.
Its something close to that
It’s him trying to play hard ball negotiations
So the enclave used to be based in Vegas?
There also another quote where he says
Reporting for duty sir
Thats not really house ways
House speak more straight foward and doesnt fancy around agent talks
Hank's legitimately delusional if he thinks House'd ever beg for some jumped-up coffee boy's help.
There always the possibility of a different enclave base but i dont think so
Yeah it’s Hank being a suck up middle manager
Bro its business talk, he doesn’t expect him to actually beg
“This deal is so good you are gonna practically beg to buy this refrigerator”
You are taking it far too literally
He isn’t expecting houses corpse to fall to his knees, he’s just saying it’s a good deal
The full quote from the transcript is,
"This is Hank MacLean, reporting for duty, sir. Nobody in Vault-Tec knows I’m here. And nobody in Vault-Tec knows much of anything anymore. Wanted to let you know I’m still alive. I hope you are, too. I mean, I don’t doubt that you are. You spent so much time… calculating how to survive all possible contingencies. Uh, I’ve been keeping busy. I’m in Vegas these days, back in your old stomping grounds, actually… trying to pick up where you all left off. Looks like a couple of the Vault experiments ran into some speed bumps. 24 made progress on the brain-computer interface. This one, miniaturization. What it all needs is integrating. But I’m confident that if I just roll up my sleeves, I can bring it all home for you. Then, we can finally talk about my promotion. [blows sharply] I’m gonna complete the work you started. And when this is all over, you will be begging me to help you."
I do think Hank is delusional and overplaying his hand, if it's House, cause I do believe House is beyond caring about the chip.
Yeah he’s clearly talking to house lol. Houses whole thing is calculating probability and business
But if it's anyone else, it can work - and they might be interested in it.
This is bravado business man talk
Enclave in particular would probably have more use for it than House; latter always struck me as preferring bread and circuses over goofball mind control shenanigans.
Except that we literally see that it’s his technology
The thing to consider is that if House still cares about the Chip or not.
And House wouldn't have a use for it, post-war probably. That's more of the defeating part to the idea for it being House. Mind you im not against it, either Enclave or house can play out. I'm just saying. House's part assumes a lot of House's intentions specifically post-war.
Like I just don’t see how what Hank says could be referring to the enclave. Mention of Vegas, calculating probability, plus the fact that vault tec is in the pocket of the enclave
Coop implied House didn't own all of Vegas.
? He implied the opposite in fact that he did own all of Vegas
I'll double check, I'm almost sure he said House owned only half of it.
I have the transcript i'll just find the quote, I could be wrong.
Give me a sec.
I think he said more “he owns half of Vegas” like it’s a lot not that it’s not a lot
The implication is as that he was practically in complete control of the city not the opposite
Yeah he does say specifically, half of Vegas -
"Yeah, I’m familiar with Robert House. The guy owns half of Las Vegas."
I'm not saying that he isn't in complete control or doesn't have a good grip on it. But if he doesn't own the city in it's entireity, it's possible there could be other people involved with Vegas, too.
But we might just disagree, there. Which is fine. lol
Its literally house
The enclave is just an alternative option if for some reason its not house
I'm in agreement with you, lol I was just speaking in terms of an alternative.
Yes
But here a bigger one
The heck is hank working for house for?
Like my guy
This guy was with vault tec and then suddendly shown to be somehow working for house?
This guy is interesting
theres more to it that we dont know cause house wouldnt work willingly with the guy who nuked shady sands actively ruining his own planning
Though I'd have to think he was working for House pre-War; ain't no way he'd sanction Hank nuking Shady Sands and wrecking his primary income source.
exactly lol#
How would house know
That a good point
I dont think hank would just go around and say
OH I NUKE SHADY SANDS!
Nobody besides moldaver seemed to even know who nuked shady sands
Most people would assume legion or BOS
I suppose that could be a direction they take it, hanks final line does seem to suggest hank is pulling his own strings with making house "begging to work with him"
the legion?
I will be surpseid if the legion has access to goddamn nukes
Bro you can find nukes just laying around in fallout
And given the existing bad blood between the NCR and Brotherhood, the NCR would've jumped at the opportunity to blame the Brotherhood.
I know but still
You can visit abandoned nuclear facilities with shelves of them in basically every game
i wouldnt be surprised if the bos just claim themselves to be the one to nuke shady sands since they did land there straight after
House could've recruited him to be an inside man. It's House's MO with other companies and corporations.
It wouldn’t fit their image to claim it but it would fit the NCRS view of them
Nuking Shady Sands also frankly seems like a step too far for even the Legion; they presumably prefer to rule, not lob nukes like they're a 76 player farming for flux.
im surprised the bos arent more concerned with the idea someone else has access to nukes that isnt them or the ncr
Yes
I wouldnt be suprised if he was caught off guard if hank is alive
A post dam loss legion with a possibly dead Caesar would
i think this is likely the prewar situation, post war tho who knows what hank is planning
They killed everyone in searchlight and made it uninhabitable
Yeah, not that I justify it , Hank was stupid with it. Cause it hurts House's income, and it was an irrational idea in the first place. Which is part of why I'm saying Hank is overplaying his hand which will bite him in the ass in the end.
It was a retaliatory solution to an emotional problem he had about his Wife leaving him.
i think hank is purely just doing his own thing but idrk what hes planning on doing, like im unsure if hes even still working with vault tec rn
And he justified it with Vault Tec logic.
Hank is in it for himself
like hank left for vegas of his own volition and abandoned the 33 experiment he was supposed to be apart of and we dont really know why yet
He probably has a plan. But it revolves around his ego.
also side theory, i think house abandoned the mind control chips he developed (hence why he doesnt use them in nv) but it is vault tec that kept an interest in them and thereby hank who now also has an interest in them again
It sounded or seemed like, if it is House he's speaking to, idk if they've spoken in quite sometime. So you might be right in thinking House might be surprised he's even alive.
true then again house could completely be dead by this point and hank is talking to himself lol
My bet is vault tec is going to try and sell cold fusion to house in exchange for mind control chips
The look on Hank's face if he goes to the 38 and sees House's skeleton with a nine iron lodged in its skull would be priceless.
i mean the bos have cold fusion and by what we can see vault tec already has the mind control stuff
lmao
The Enclave had it first. Remember the scientist was the one who was creating it and lodged it into his skull.
As far as we could tell, at least.
true acc so maybe they still have that research, and while were at it since enclave are clearly doing alot of experimentation what else have they been working on
Fellas gotta be cooking up something big if they've been spending nearly twenty years playing hide and seek with the rest of the Wasteland.
No pre war
Moldaver said she thinks that’s why vault tec is going to Vegas
ohh yeah i get u
Yeah.
Yeah this is why I said as far as we know, cause who knows how it ends up in the Enclave's hands.
i feel like if house had cold fusion he wouldnt have even needed the platinium chip, like a big reason why house doesnt do anything for so long is that it isnt until the NCR pop up that he can get energy to turn vegas into a real city for people from hoover dam
Yeah so the plan might not work out in the way that Vault Tec sells him cold fusion, which is how the Enclave ends up with it.
Maybe Moldaver/Coop sabotages that deal?
true and this fits a bit better with house wanting to do his own thing and not get involved with vault tec or the enclave
house in the trailer suggests that coop somehow plays a part with how the world ends which is a crazy line if you think about it
Mhm, or something occurs where the deal doesn't facilitate. This is speculation, but Robert and Coop seem to spend a decent enough time together pre-war judging by some of the scenes.
Which then makes me think perhaps Coop had a hand in delaying the Platinum Chip's arrival somehow.
na i feel like coop was too busy getting kicked out of hollywood and entertaining kids birthday parties just before the war
which further begs the question of how he could possibly be involved with the end of the world
Yeah, cause it is confirmed the platinum chip arrived due to the Securitrons being upgraded in the trailer. SO - we do know the arrival happened post-war.
the question would be how it got delayed, and what Coop's role might've been pre-war to fit into the end of it.
Once again plans are just plans, not what’s gonna happen
And then there's the walking question mark known as Moldaver to account for.
I am curious if they will show how she survived.
ye it gets me thinking tho i wonder if house really wanted cold fusion and then if he did imagine the situation in nv if he had both cold fusion AND the platinum chip arrived on time bro would be unstoppable by the 2280s
i cant wait for the prewar flashbacks to catch up to the day the bombs drop then we get full circle where we have one full straight timeline of events
Seeing House's defense system protect Vegas during the Great War would be cool.
they could totally do that tbf and yeah thatd be awesome
House could've had too much faith in his plan, and the platinum chip being delayed is what fucked him over. Which is why he denied cold fusion, or something.
true true
Not like he hasn't been blindsided before, considering Benny of all people bamboozled him.
^
Yeah it would fall in line with, most of his plans work - but not all of them, but more times than not, they do. This just happens to be one of the few that doesn't.
I think house is using fision power to power the lucky 38
If i recalled and correct me but when you siding with house, the reactor in the lucky 38 can literally be self sufficient
Could be, it would be one retcon I wouldn't mind personally.
Like i said
His reactor is self sufficient
That means he literally can make renewable energy enough to power up lucky 38
And he even admit that it takes a lot of power, even with the dam supporting it
i think that was more a failsafe for the battle of hoover dam he uses el dorado substation to redirect some power to the lucky 38 to jump start his own reactor in the basement so that if the legion damages hoover dam the lucky 38 and his control over the securitrons wont go out
on the other hand cold fusion is just unlimited free energy (which is kind of a wild concept lol)
There's a lot of renewable energies. It could be thorium for all we know, it's pretty renewable. But we'll have to see, like I said im not opposed to it.
At least in the trailer I saw house really just says “I know you came to Vegas to kill me…I don’t know how you you play a part in ending the world, but you most certain do”.
It’s not clear if those clips actually belong together yet or not, and the ‘kill me’ part could very well be a different scene than the ‘part in ending the world’.
But assuming they’re not separate and are all directed at cooper, if the context is Coop coming to vegas with his wife, the high up in VT, and house knows VT has questionable plans to end the world, then when the spouse of one of those VT people shows up to kill him I think it’s very reasonable just on its face to basically say “you’re clearly connected to what’s going on here, even if I don’t know how”
Coop was a big deal in getting vault tec its popularity and gaining acceptance among the population
He was, but Vault Tec could've just used him for their ends and would have no problem casting him aside, I think. Especially cause look at Bud, dude was actual integral to their schemes and they stuck that fucker on a roomba robobrain.
i still think that vault 33 is only just one aspect of vault tec and its not like their main thing or anything even though they have prewar employees there
in the context of 'how could Coop be involved with the end of the world in House's eyes', all that really matters is that Coop was super visibly connected to Vault Tec, as well as privately; whether or not they would be willing to cast him aside doesn't change that
Yeah but I think the line might be more deeper than that? I have to feel like if house is gonna mention it, it's something more significant. But I could be wrong and reading too much into it.
The reality is that it’s a trailer intending to get people talking and read too much into it haha
Actually I do think they might be seperate. This section is the "Mr Howard...I know you came to Vegas to kill me", but the "Mr. Howard" part is voice over, not said on screen.
And then this is the "I don't know yet how you play a part in ending the world...", which could certainly be the same scene talking to the same person, presumably Coop, but it could also easily be a different scene or talking to a different person.
Either way...trailer editing intentionally obfuscates lol
excited for that scene cooper and house interacting
next episode too, christmas eve gonna be awesome
100% agreed on both counts
@gray basin
He'll try to justify it and say it's a red herring, even though all lore points to Robert Howard, and it's impossible for it to be Anthony. Lmao
Actually a cute picture of the two of them. Lol
how uncomfortable must that chest piece be for the actor lol
Imagine if Maximus defects to the East??? Would be an insane twist.
If he's defecting to me it seems like he's defecting to the NCR
He can’t. Atleast Not yet
Power armor vs power armor
Could be elders in the back. Or clerics
PA on PA boxing match?
Yes I’ve read about this in a review
that sounds awesome
She probably gets taken by her father after this
So it’s two knights fighting a securitron
seems like its inside a bunker
I'm guessing the two have to flee the Strip due to the Deathclaw and get into a fight over what to do next
Hank got him 💔
-# ...you have NCR related stuff, perchance?
Unfortunately no
Dangit.
The video of the two Dogmeat animal-actors showed the camp Lucy & The Ghoul stop at, seems to match the general appearance of the Ranger outposts in NV, you can also see someone in what looks like vet ranger gear
Oh
Which then would beg the question of why exactly a bunch of presumably NCR fellas are sticking around in the Mojave rather than bailing back to their home states or whatever's left of it.
Probably similar to Van Buren, no communication with the heartland, and the mojave wasteland is too dangerous to trek back through
Either that or the NCR still are somewhat organized after the whole Shady Sands ordeal
I'm vouching for the latter
I want to vouch for that one
I always knew it was on the atomic wrangler
Ill scream if lucy just mocks him with
"AINT THAT A KICK IN THE HEAD!"
My boy doesnt deserves a t60... But rather t51b 🔥
I mean
That was kinda obvious
Kind of weird btw
Actually no I'm full on vouching for that option
Being capable of making a new type of power armor should speak well of your faction's general well-being methinks
Yall realize we are going to see the t51b at the tv series?
Explain
I mean yeah a bit of a crashout to just punch a guy out of a window but like
They been telling we Will see a Canada flashback
t51b probably wont be in the anchorage flashback because most likely cooper will be in holywood by the time t51b was shipped out to the frontline
he likely served much earlier in the conflict when they only had t45
conjecture on my part here but im kinda hoping the flashback is set when the americans first use t45 and we see how much of an advantage power armor provided on the alskan front
The quality is low but they look to be wearing some sort of duster but it doesn't look like the Ghoul, definitely wearing some sort of shoulder armor which matches the Ranger armor (the show seems to be using the advanced/elite riot gear from Lonesome Road as the standard vet ranger armor)
Anchorage couldnt get a flashback
Due Anchorage was the cherry on top to later on getting the bombs out
Imagine if they were cowards to show a canon ending but they show up the courier
anchorage might be the wrong term i meant the chinese invasion of alaska as a whole which starts over 10 years before 2077
t45 rolls around within a few years of the invasion but t51 only appears way later
Probably because H&H tools is Anthony's company
i mean it was also the House family business and then later it was Robert's business after he used robco to take it over
other than that one line nothing suggests that anthony has anything to do with the tv show, all traielr footage, interviews and reviews indicate its just mr house using a body double
And honestly, why would Robert ever work with the brother who robbed him of his inheritance?
yeah like the mind control theory doesnt even work cause we clearly see him testing those devices in ep1 so he wouldnt have it fully operating to use on anthony by this point
T45-d. In the Anchorage flashback, Coop is wearing T45, unless others are wearing it - Idk. But.
It WAS his - It's Robert's now, not Anthony's. Robert took control of it, hence why H&H tools is on the Securitrons. Robert bought it out from his Brother and assumed a hostile takeover. He tortured Anthony and Anthony stayed an employee and H&H for years after he lost his position before he snapped. Atp you're either flat out ragebating or just refusing to read. Lol
And it would have to showcase Anthony losing control of the device, and snapping, too. Otherwise there's no way. Cause the whole Dungeon of H&H in New Vegas was dealing with the Robots Anthony used to kill himself and all the employees.
H&H was given both to Anthony and Robert as inheritance. If u read the lore, Anthony hated Robert because he wasn’t his “real” brother and kicked him out of that company.
if you read the terminals which i highly recommend you do. Anthony House died alone due to faulty security and fired everyone in his company for being so paranoid everyone was after him
While sure he shares paranoid qualities like Robert. He was incredibly schizophrenic
again READ THE TERMINALS
He didn't fire everyone, he trapped them inside H&H and killed them which is . . . a huge difference lol. Which then turns it into a Deathtrap for centuries, the security system was anything but faulty, he rigged it to kill the employees cause he believed they were working for Robert.
The security measures are listed as outlandish, but not faulty.
"In the end, Anthony's paranoia came to a head on June 19, 2077. Having lost faith even in Cindy-Lou Kreb, convinced that every single one of his employees was in on the conspiracy and that Robert House was coming to physically remove him from his office, he locked down the factory and activated its security systems, refusing to go down without a fight. His actions turned the H&H Tools factory into a deathtrap for centuries to come."
Overall we know its not Anthony because we know how he ends off vs House
Very true. ^
Interesting
It also doesnt make sense why Anthony would use Robert as some sort of mascot for a company he doesn’t even know aka Robco. He owns H&H and Robert also owned and probably helped develop the nailgun
i mean we know its not anthony because the cast literally tell us theyre both playing robert house
Robert had to have known because Nailguns were integrated into Construction Protectrons. Which were designed and created by... RobCo. Robert's company.
So you're definitely correct some level of knowledge, Robert had to have known.
^^
Yeah, the issue is too many people get into the weeds and scream, "RED HERRING, RED HERRING, THEY'RE LYING" without really doing surface level reading and looking at basic context clues. Lol
Surprised no one’s pulled the media literacy card in those arguments yet.
I think we all are protecting ourselves due they probably gonna ruin Mr. House character lmao
Or at least make it more difficult for NV players to justify doing House runs to themselves.
Literally just seen pre-war House
Chill out with the pitchforks
Sorry 😔
||I know something that nobody is going to be able to stop pitchforking from happening anyways||
The thing is, it just seems they Will go portraying him more as evil rather grey character
||Trust me
People are going to forget that problem as soon as the Strip proper comes up||
tbf we shall get more house tonight so thats exciting
||Even though the Strip proper being like that makes sense after Shady tbh||
i cant tell if youre trying to be reassuring or saying that they ruin it lmao
Im 100% sure at the end the prewar meeting between cooper and house Will end like
"Cooper, moldaver is mad"
|| oh wait are you talking about how the strip is abandoned ||
Cooper be like
"Yeeez, didnt thought on that one"
||Yep, and how those people will be mad
Spoiler it btw it might be sensible||
So
What Will be the day for chapters drop out?
idk how the wider community will take it but people in this discord seem to have taken it pretty well already cause it featured quite prominently in trailers
|| then again no faction "winning" completely i suppose is less offensive than one faction winning for certain even if it is a huge copout ||
||I mean tbh I'm just working based on the assumptions we made with Space Organism (who was on set btw that's based) so we could be missing something||
|| fair, we do know that the lucky 38 is abandoned and so is the strip (theres a deathclaw running around in both) thats been locked up by freeside ||
Would You rather see being adapted to the show
The enclave armor or the old goddie t51b?
||Plus post-war House still seems to be around so like
Not transited≠abandoned I guess????||
both one can hope 🙏
|| no clue tbh i do agree that those two things do seem to contradict one another ||
Imagine if they just showed up Ulysses in s2 like nothing
||I mean again
Shady blowing up must have been a huge blow to business since the inhabitants in the Strip were just mostly NCR tourists||
||We could see some locals inside it
Maybe
Hopefully
Possibly the families are still around somewhat
Maybe||
||People would have still been mad lol||
So, yall realize norm Will be on a quest for a water chip?
|| ye true and after shady sands got bombed you could basically infer that every faction in nv wouldve suffered ||
|| i do wonder what the reaction will be when the episodes release ||
Unpredictable
|| personally (and i used to be a nv purist) im acc glad theyre building on the west coast, like even if my personal headcannon for the games ending are out the window now. im excited to see what they do with vegas and the factions etc ||
||Nah same
I was on the whole "show isn't canon!!!" asshurtingness before I saw Creetosis for the first time||
||And given I do not want to be around people like that I realized
Hey I'm just spewing other people's opinions not my own||
|| yeah lowkey when i first saw shady sands getting nuked i was MAD lmao ||
but im kinda okay with it now and okay with seeing where they take it
Honestly I got the impression they were actually just making fun of it
Turns out, whole other deal
This was a tragedy and it was shown like such
Even for as little screentime as it got
||Honestly, I'm still peeved at the method they used to wreck the NCR; NCR had God knows how many ways of falling apart, from overextension to famine, that were already brought up in NV. But having it because some upjumped middle-manager from Vault-Tec had a hissy fit just feels wrong somehow in a way I still can't put to words.||
Sudden?
yeah on first watch it seems like such a gutbunch given how little we see of the NCR in season 1 but now that i can tell theyre actually expanding on the NCR i dont mind them doing that anymore
Yeah like
If that was it for the NCR in the whole show
That would have been dissappointing
i do get this but im hoping they will explain the bombing more like we havent actually got hanks side of the story yet just what moldover said, so surely he will expand on it
Plus the truck thing
This was a whole team plan
yeah lmao then there would be pitchforks everywhere
I doubt Hank was acting fully alone
truck?
Which then makes me think he had help from the Enclave on that operation.
Yeah in the trailer they show a nuke in a truck and what seems to be Shady
This implies it wasn't a missile launched from afar with a button but rather a planted thing a-la terrorism
Putting a single pickup truck somewhere requires a team of people?
wait how on earth did i miss this
i literally rewatched both trailers yesterday lol
thanks
Though considering Maximus's parents presumably had enough time to stuff him in that fridge, there probably was enough time for the alarm to be raised; not enough time for anyone to defuse the dang thing, mind you, but maybe a few minutes.
interesting a guy seems to be wounded on the right before the nuke goes off
so this is confirmation that we do get the shady sands explanation (or some of it) in season 2 good
I mean yeah kinda
You don't just jury rig a nuke, drive it to the political center of a nation, plant it and detonate it in minutes all by yourself
Especially when the NCR undoubtedly would have security checkpoints around their capital.
It wasn’t the political center anymore
cant wait for the big plot twist that maximus' parents somehow survived a nuke so that all 3 fallout show protagonist can continue the trend of searching for their family
It was no longer the capital
Plot plot twist, maybe they're Ghouls now.
Fair but that's besides the point
You get what I'm saying
this has been confirmed?
You can drive a truck right now through Washington DC without being searched
Yes on the sign
Still, if Shady Sands wasn't the capital anymore, wouldn't Hank have basically nuked the NCR equivalent of Philadelphia? It'd be a leg shot for sure, but not a fatal stroke unless Kimball and his entire cabinet were in the city.
He was nuking them because moldaver cucked him
Look what I'm saying is that this seems coordinated
Plus if it was a single man operation wouldn't it be more sensible to just, find a silo and push a button?
He used the other vault tec stuff as an excuse
Seems way harder to launch a nuke then grab one and set it down
oh wait yeah yo thats an incredibly good catch
Just transporting the nuke implies some sort of manpower
Do you know how heavy nukes are
thats fascinating as well cause that sign would have been erected prior to the nuking but after new vegas so its interesting they made a new city the capital in between those two events
Still, if Shady Sands wasn't the capital by whatever year the place went boom, what would be its current capital? The Hub? Arroyo, even?
Bro it’s one 300ish lbs object
I think the guy could get a forkift
hey no matter where it is this kind of means we will get to see a fallout 2 city again in the modern day
Arroyo or hub seem most likely
seeing the architecture of arroyo would be nice
I still do feel like this was not him acting alone
Seeing Arroyo would be a dream, ngl.
i think arroyo might be chosen soley to please the fans after shady is nuked
||Btw going back to the Strip proper
Why has no one mentioned the fact the lights seem to be on even if they are flickering||
I don’t think the strip has been infested for long
||Lucky 38 generator still providing the buildings with power, perhaps?||
||Hmm good reasoning
If any building seems likely to still be in operation it would be the Lucky 38 given that's House's HQ||
what happened to hoover dam if shady sands (which is now in the boneyard) has been nuked, is it still sending pwoer to the NCR?
Probably back in disrepair; dam itself ain't collapsing unless a nuke goes off on it.
No way to know
For all we know the NCR won the second battle but lost the dam shortly after anyways
The dam could have dried up, could be destory, could be useless, etc
A lot can happen in 15 years
Would be funny if that Vault-Tec bunker Hank's in is underneath Hoover Dam if it isn't in the sealed-off part of Vault 21.
It would be but hank did he say he at vegas grounds so he clearly somewhere in vegas
Oh hey btw
I do still think Shady is still apart from Boneyard
It definitely got closer given it seems to be in the LA County but not in LA itself
It seems to me like it is in Lancaster or somewhere near it
Hmm
Well where hank is too big to be just confortable be underground in vegas
The dam in theory could be a place hank is in
Obviously there are many issues with this theory that i have developed
The vaults are fucking huge dude
The skyline dosen't seem like the LA skyline to me
oh yeye i agree i suppose i meant the whole LA when i said the boneyard but ye i agree with you
Yeah but this one is way too goddamn big
There is a season 1 scene and the vault looks at least 50 stories deep
That was under downtown la
Still would make the NCR state distribution weird; wasn't Shady its own state separate from the Boneyard?
where is it hinited that its in dwontown la?
33
I was just pointing out that the vaults in the show are fucking huge compared to the games
Yes
The Boneyard State could compromise the actual LA city as opposed to the pre-war county lines so Shady State can still be its own thing
Knowing Vault-Tec, they probably have a base underneath Mount Rushmore.
Then that still doesnt answer how it is even maintained for that long
Robots and good environmental sealing
*Santa Monica but yeah we get the point
Things are huuuuuuge
Most things in fallout would be in way worse condition then the games and show give is
Robots
Yeah I actually wanted to talk about it but like
The show actually is the first time I see a media thing portray actual decay of urban areas after a century or two
Like tbh it would make sense most areas comprised of suburban homes and heavily damaged buildings would just eventually succumb to the elements until a little or nothing is left
That's why the deserts in the middle of LA and all of that
Buildings in the west would actually be in much better condition then in the east
Unaddressed water damage in the east would make most building deteriorate super fast
That also explains the skyscrapers, actually
A well built steel and concrete structure would probably last 200 years
There also the fact that the west werent nearly hit as hard compare to the east coast
But houses and smaller buildings will just collapse
There is a house in my neighborhood that been abandoned for 10 years and already looks about as bad as the average house from fallout 4
i dont think we should pay too much attention to this given this is a universe where they discovered practical nuclear fusion before the transistor
I don’t think we need to pay attention to the fact that they did invent the transistor
ye ik but after nuclear fusion, just saying its silly game logic
To be fair
I dont mind it
But i would prefer the skelton not to be somewhere a person lives in
Yeah pull the dead child out of the only bathroom
Hey its a skelton
How would you know it a child?
Maybe use one of the pieces of scrap metal to cover the massive fucking hole above your bed
Cover the smashed windows or smth it is getting cold in here damn
Have you people ever heard of proper sheltering
How come you figure out how to maintain power armor but not that
To be fair
This issue is mainly occurs in the east coast
And lets be honest
The east coast got hit so hard that can you blame them for not bothering to fix shit than trying to survive?
I want an Amish faction to show up and be identical to the current Amish
But with laser guns
Fair enough
This is whatever for random wastelanders but in the settlements it doesn’t add up
Fair enough
Fallout nukes seem to be like epsilon times worser than IRL nukes so a high concentration of them could be just, brutal
Megaton. Huh.
Big metal ball go boom.
If anything I’d say the seem small
In appearance yeah but I'm talking in payload and effects after deployment and usage
I mean, no?
Most of the single detonation sights we can find are very small direct effect
Like the White House got hit directly and its foundation is still kinda there
Fallout seems to just have smaller nukes that were used in carpet bombings
That they wouldn't normally have IRL
Radiation works completely different
Physics itself works completely different in fallout and doesn’t follow our laws
Right I forgot about that
Finally caught up.
Damn good coffee, and hot!
Today is a wednesday
Goodluck gentlemen for the 2nd episode
I'll see the lot of you in the episode 2 chat.

WHAT, THE PLURIBUS FINALE DROPPED TOO?!
It's a good day.
Guess I'm gonna have a really fun next 2 hours then
I'm gonna wait for fallout though
yah watch fallout when you are awake tomorrow, thats what I am doing
No I mean, I'm gonna wait for 25 minutes until fallout comes out, watch that first, then Pluribus

who else has got: "ron perlman as marcus" on their bingo card?
episode 3 is taking too long
Oh... This is like classic TV... only without the upside of 22+ eps.....
to be fair, each one is about an hour long
as opposed to tv which is what, 20 minutes?
We're essentially getting up to 3 typical modern day tv episodes into 1.
Modern day 60 minute blocks are 43 minutes TV, 18 minutes ad time. Thats up from the 60s/70s which were 52 minutes TV/8 mins ads.
So for every 4 episodes at 60 minutes you gain 1 linear episode.. so you'd be talking 10 TV eps per 8 Streaming eps...
Star Trek tng was like 45 mins an episode. We trade shorter seasons for longer episodes and higher production and larger scope
….but you’d also be getting 1960s/1970s TV quality if you follow the length / ad numbers then, pretty sure you don’t actually want that trade off lmao
Shows used to be very episodic and reused sets like crazy
This is so true. I miss DS9.
It's just as good as tng, plus recurring tng characters
Not to mention now days a lot of sets are digital in the first place. Once it's designed, reuse is simple. (Not saying I prefer digital sets, but they do have their place..) Also an old addage: Tight budgets force creativity. Some of the smallest budgeted things are some of the best. (See ST:TWOK, Robocop) When you throw endless money at a project...people get sloppy. (And inefficient)
Early seasons were a little meh, but once Sisko got rid of his hair oh boy lol.
Currently watching episode 1... Neat how they used an unused vault number from the files of New Vegas for this vault
SON OF HANK YOU'RE AWESOME (I forgot your name)
Yeah, they're definitely in their cut content bag, and I'm all here for it.
Exactly!!! Using cut content like that is smart
Especially with how, well
I'm currently IN the vault 24 scene
It's quite fun to see what they did with the thing
I feel like Hank was talking through that one guy ngl, at least it felt like it
It says those bombs could have been used for explosives in the pre-war era... But House himself said they were used to prevent most of vegas from being destroyed. I honestly don't know which is true
After all why not use the unused vault number that was planned to be in the mojave for the vault they're putting in the mojave?
OMFG GOLDEN PIP-BOY
"You spent so much time calculating how to survive all possible contingencies" ngl it sounds like he's sending a message to House, especially because those black boxes were a part of Vault 24 it seems
Moving to watching episode 2 now
flea soup is fucking, jesus christ
So, I need to know Mariannes family tree. Cause what she describes in ep 1 sounds fucking wild
well that's a BIG spoiler to be putting in ep 1 lol delete that and move to #1447296686111068221
Yep keep an eye on the number episode thread you're in #1447296686111068221 for all of them, also #1447295973129978058
oh i didnt even know there were other channels my bad
Lucy is fucking annoying
Naive bitch who for some reason didn’t learn her lesson from season 1
some big feelings there buddy
i am also upset that it feels like she hasn't really grown much as a character, same with Max.
She litterally hasn’t and she’s still stupid
hopefully it'll rectify itself with S3
This channel is for Episode 1, you can talk about 2 in #1447298446229766359
Well now I won’t since u deleted my message so fuck u
