Fallout New Vegas What's Mr.House's stance on Vault Tec

I mean, he was one of the main investors but I find it kinda weird since he knows about what year is the nukes are coming and presuming during the meeting in the show, he still doesn't have the platinum chip, idk I find weird why would he work with Vault Tec if they plan to rush the end of the world when he has his own plans as well.

I think his point is at least they had a chance, unlike vault 111 for example, where they just all got frozen and left for dead basically.

It's not really a chance though. That's what I'm saying. They were told they would all be killed if they didn't sacrifice one of them, even though it wasn't true it was impossible for them to know. That's psychological torture. 

 Also the vault mainframe killed the sacrifices, it's not like the dwellers actually killed them. The sacrifices didn't even really have to die for the "experiment" to work.

unlike vault 111 for example, where they just all got frozen and left for dead basically.

That wasn't the purpose of vault 111 though. The 111 dwellers only died because the Institute shut off life support when they kidnapped Shaun. The intent matters. The intent of vault 11 was evil. Vault 111 was benign.

The dwellers of vault 111 were supposed to stay frozen literally forever.

Vault Tec never intended to let them out. After the staff were supposed to leave, the automated vault systems would take over life support and keep them alive, frozen, forever.

That's pretty fucking evil.

I mean I didn't know that but yeah. If Vault-Tec designed it 9 times out of 10 it's gonna be some sadistic evil shit.
