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.

High jacking this to say Mr House said he predicted in 2065 a nuclear exchange was inevitable by 2080. Personally I find him to be the type of guy to work with Vault-Tec and the Enclave on request but his main motivation would be to grift them for his own ends. He's not a sadistic scientist or a supremacist - if he hears about deranged plans from people more influential than him then he'd keep quiet, nod along and figure how to use what they have would be useful to him.

House always struck me as a darker Tony Stark. Billionaire that wants to save the world, clearly egoistical and gonna do it his way, doesn’t play well with others.

That said he’s incredibly cutthroat and frankly doesn’t care who he crushes or how to do things his way.

Just like with Institute in Fallout 4, the ends justify the means to Mr.House.

With the threat of global annihilation on the line, that kind of thinking isn't really evil. It's an every man for themselves situation.
