NCR in New Vegas

[Forbidden]

House is crippled and living on borrowed time. He can't exactly go to an embassy and discuss politics, if you haven't noticed

Indeed. And House had already negotiated the free passage/power deal with the NCR. Crocker would rather meet with house face-to-face, but that can't happen, due to House's condition.

I agree with Forbidden in general - although I don't think the player is better as a leader than a 250yo genious. I know we can roleplay and consider him to be 10INT, smarter than Mr.House, but to me, the courier is mostly... a Courier. may be smart, good with guns, but being the Last, Best Hope of Humanity? Nah. I'd rather leave that to Mr. House.

Oh, I don't think the courier was the Last, Best Hope. I think it was mostly based on House being kinda creepy and that the courier had been worked over enough by powers that be. And I had a vague notion of keeping House around, just unplugged, as a consultant.

What I meant is, if he can't meet with them face-to-face then atleast tell them he can't in the condition he is in, he hasn't even sent a robot to negotiate with them, i'm guessing he just expects them to do what they want.

 

[DForge]

And he should, too. Again, what can NCR want from him? they already agreed to share the power (95% to NCR, 5% to Mr.House). There isn't much to discuss because Mr. House doesn't want to become any part of the Republic. I

Wha?!? He already negotiated with the NCR. He negotiated a deal where the NCR would supply Vegas with power from hoover damn, NCR troops would have the right to enter Vegas as long as they were unarmed, NCR troops would only be disciplined by NCR MPs not House's robots, and NCR would have ownership of McCarran Airport. You think that deal just magically appeared? House negotiated it through an intermediary. Either a robot, or more likely, Benny sitting at the negotiating table. Crock is just whining that House won't meet with his personally, not that there was no negotiation at all.

from how much I have read it seems house was present at the dam with some robots while the NCR appeared there and they made some kind of contract house geting the power he needs (1% of it) and the NCR a base of operations in the Vegas area or something like that. But maybe I am wrong with that as I dont remember it exactly anymore.
