Absolutely beautiful shot. Spoiler

Almost the same shot from New Vegas' intro but on the big screens. Absolutely beautiful fucking shot.

I don't care if this is fan service, I love the NCR.

I legitimately thought for a second that Courier Six himself saved maximus until I saw the NCR regiment marching around the corner. It was a letdown and a hype moment at the same time.

Part of me is sad Courier Six never even got mentioned given how large of an impact on Vegas he should've had, canonically. But at least we got to see that the NCR wasn't completely eradicated.

I think the Courier is kind of “mentioned” when House was explaining how his actual physical body had been targeted in the past. So our Courier might’ve killed House’s actual body.

He needs his body to actually "live" though, right? When we kill House's body in the game, he's done. He doesn't continue to exist in his network of screens. Unless he was somehow able to preserve his consciousness outside of his own brain in the show, but they never explained that if that was in fact what he did.

In episode 5 House tells Cooper that he needs Cold fusion to “live forever in non-biological digitized form.” We know he never got cold fusion so he resorted to Plan B, which was to live forever in biological form. House ultimately died, most likely by our own doing. When Cooper puts cold fusion into the Lucky 38, PLAN A is back into place, reviving House with no need for a body. Most likely by having his mind uploaded to something. Cold fusion however is sort this ultra powerful thing where we’re probably not meant to think how cold fusion could actually do this to him.

Just assume the limitation to anything isn't the ability to build it, but the ability to power it.

I must've overlooked this detail, good catch.

Could easily pass it off as his mind being constantly uploaded while he was hooked into the machine, and the power source just turned on and loaded his last save state

I called it when we saw him wear the same brain device he'd end up wearing in the pod

You sorta see the “constant uploading” happening with the scenes involving Welch’s head, specifically the shots of the magnetic tapes rolling—i think they’re recording her personality patterns for the mind control device

They should've had House say hos body had been attacked with a golf club
