我々とは違うタイプの人間だ。我々は重要であろうと夢見る必要はない。重要だからだ
”ロバート・エドウィン・ハウス またの名をMr.ハウス は、2281年のモハビ・ウェイストランドに存在したニューベガスのストリップ地区を経営する、総裁兼最高経営責任者であり、また唯一の所有者である。同時にロブコ工業の設立者でもあり、ニューベガスのカジノ経営者達を取り纏める責任者でもある。
背景[]
来歴[]
ロバート・エドウィン・ハウス (ロベルト・ハウスとも)は、2020年6月25日、ネバダ州の裕福な技術者の家庭に生まれた。父親はオートジャイロの運転中に落雷による不慮の事故により死亡し、ハウスは幼くして孤児となる。異母兄弟のアンソニーによって父の遺産である会社を騙し取られるが、ハウスはマサチューセッツ工科大学を卒業し、22歳という若さで故郷ラスベガスにロブコ工業を設立した。ロブコ工業はハウスの天才的な技術力と卓越した商才により、わずか5年で世界で最も稼ぐ企業の一つとなる。ハウスは他の多くの事業で支配的利権を得るために、富と権力を注いだ。これにはレプコン社の宇宙航空事業、ラスベガス大通りのラッキー38ホテル&カジノなどが含まれ、最も個人的なものはH&Hツール社だろう。父親の経営していた会社であり、欲張りな兄弟によって奪われた会社であった。(奇妙なことに、ベガス郊外の工場は2077年当時でも弟の支配下にあった)
本物の堅固な実利主義者であるハウスは、将来起こりうる障害を予測するため、世界情勢、社会経済的条件に基づいて緻密な数学的シュミレーションを行った。その結果、2065年から15年間のうちに、世界が核戦争により崩壊するという結論が導き出された。さらに悪い事に、中国軍の核弾頭77発がハウスの最愛の地であるラスベガスへ向けられている事が軍の内部情報によって判明した。ハウスは予測能力と自身の技術力をもって来たる終末に備え、崩壊する戦争後の世界を生き延びるために極秘計画に着手した。ハウスはまず、中国から放たれた核ミサイルを無効化するため、衛星接続可能な複数のメインフレームをプログラムし、ラッキー38の屋上に設置するための高出力レーザーキャノンを設計した。このレーザーキャノンはミサイルを無効化できなかった時の為に使用された。またハウスの脳は巨大なスーパーコンピューターを通して広大な情報ネットワークへ直接接続された。体は生理学的欲求を処理するためにLSチャンバーと呼ばれる非常に高度な生命維持装置に永久接続された。[1]ハウスは事実上、例のない形でヒトの脳で動くロボットとなった。現在の彼の"身体"は、セキュリトロンの軍隊とラッキー38そのものである。
彼の計画には必要不可欠な要素があった。それはプラチナチップと呼ばれた。バンカーへのアクセスキーに大容量のデータ記憶装置を組み合わせたもので、セキュリトロンとレーザー防衛ネットワークに使用されるOSの大規模アップグレードが含まれていた。プラチナチップは2077年10月23日の午後に配達される予定だったが、その20時間前に大戦争が勃発した。運の悪いことにプラチナチップは失われ、ハウスに雇われたスカベンジャー達がサニーベールで見つけるまで、200年以上も放置されていた。ハウスのコンピューターは劣悪なOSバージョンで動作することを余儀なくされ、以前の安定したバージョンを再起動できるようになるまで停電やシステム異常と戦い続け、数十年間の昏睡状態に陥った。
ハウスは2138年に意識を回復した。[2]2274年に指揮下のセキュリトロンをラッキー38から外に送り、再び世界へ存在を現した。これはフーバー・ダムにニューカリフォルニア共和国のスカウトが到着したことに起因する行動であった。ハウスは自らの支配力を確固たるものとする為、ニューベガスに三つの部族(のちに三大ファミリーとして知られる)を招集し、間もなく都市を再建した。これはニューカリフォルニア共和国軍の進出を歓迎し、関係を良好にするためのものだった。フーバー・ダムの助力とマッカラン国際空港を本部として使用する許可と引き替えに、NCRはニューベガス条約に調印した。NCRからの協力が保証された事で、暫くの間 ストリップ地区はNCRの併合から守られた。
戦後の状況[]
“
Mr.ハウスは、謎に満ちたストリップ地区の支配者です。彼は この200年、生あるものが誰も足を踏み入れていない ラッキー38カジノの中から、彼の小さな帝国を支配しています。
”— ロード画面ハウスはラッキー38に住みながら、ニューベガスを徘徊するセキュリトロンを使って失われたベガスを再建した。ある時点で、ハウスはVault 21の指導力を賭けにより獲得し、その際にVaultをセメントで全て埋め立て、永久に封印する計画を立てた。ハウスはVault 21の有益な技術部分を取り除いた後に不必要な階層をセメントで埋めていったが、サラ・ウェイントローブの嘆願を受けてVault 21の最上部を残し、ホテルに改装した。(全てのカジノ機器は、Vaultの実験の際に設置されたものだった)
また、ハウスはゲーム内で見つけられる収集物であるスノーグローブへとても興味を持ち、手に入れるために素晴らしい報酬を出す。スノーグローブはそれぞれ2000キャップと引き換えにジェーンへ渡される。シエラ・マドレ (Dead Money)、 ビッグマウンテン (Old World Blues)、ザイオン自然公園 (Honest Hearts) そしてザ・ディバイド (Lonesome Road) のスノーグローブは取得時に自動でプレイヤーの所持品から削除され、2000キャップと交換される。シエラ・マドレカジノではシエラマドレのチップが2000枚追加される。運び屋がスノーグローブをジェーンへ売ると、ラッキー38のプレジデンシャル・スイートへ飾られる。しかしプレイヤーがハウスを殺すと、スノーグローブはプレイヤーの所持品に残り、ジェーンは消えるだろう。
生命[]
Mr.ハウスの身体は物理的に極度の老化状態であり、自立型の生命維持装置内でしか生きることができない。運び屋はセキュリティを突破し、Mr.ハウスの真の姿を見ることができる。しかし彼のチャンバーは、たとえ一秒でも開かれると外部の汚染物質に侵されてしまい、一年以上生きつづけることはできなくなる。[3]
プレイヤーキャラクターへの影響[]
相互作用の概要[]
テンプレート:Interactions FNV
クエスト[]
- The House Always Wins: Mr. House gives the player the quest, which leads to one of the final quests, All or Nothing. In this case, player communicates with House only through the computer terminal in his office.
- For the Republic, Part 2, Wild Card: Change in Management, Render Unto Caesar: However, if the player decides to side with NCR, Caesar, or fight for an independent New Vegas, Mr. House has to be killed or disabled.
- The Moon Comes Over the Tower: Emily Ortal asks the player to bug one of House's terminals for important medical information.
Other interactions[]
- Mr. House plays a major role in the game. The Courier hears a lot about him while traveling, but upon reaching New Vegas they are invited by House, himself, to visit him in the Lucky 38. There, House gives the Courier vital information about Benny and the platinum chip. Also, he allows the Courier and their companions to use the Lucky 38's presidential suite as a safehouse.

Fallout: New Vegas endings
Notes[]
- On the shores of Lake Mead, due east of New Vegas, sits the grandiose pre-War House Resort & Country Club, the current site of the NCR's Camp Golf. Due to its name, its obvious past opulence, and the presence of a large portrait of Robert Edwin House, standing in front of a large bipedal robot in its main dining hall, it may be surmised that Mr. House was a chief financier and patron of the club before the bombs fell. This portrait is reminiscent of a famous painting of Howard Hughes, who was also an avid golf player.
- If Mr. House is disintegrated by an energy weapon, the stasis chamber disintegrates with him. The same event occurs when using a plasma weapon and its signature goo.
- From information contained on the terminals in the H&H Tools Factory, it is gleaned that Robert House's half-brother, Anthony, used underhanded means to wrest his inherited share of the family business from him after the death of their father. It is strongly implied that Robert's later, methodical hostile takeover, coupled with McCarthyist paranoia regarding the Communist Chinese, drove Anthony House completely mad.
- Mr. House is given the nickname "Not-At-Home" by the Omertas for his tendency to remain ostensibly neutral in Strip affairs.
- Upon his death, the quest The House Has Gone Bust! will simultaneously trigger and fail, and the note A Tragedy Has Befallen All Mankind will appear in the player's inventory.
- If you take Mr. House out of his stasis chamber, he will ask you why you have ruined his plans and he will react differently depending on what you tell him. If you say you did it in the name of the NCR, he will belittle them and call you a "sad, misguided whore." If you tell him you are acting on behalf of Caesar, he will be horrified that slavery is humanity's future. If you say you did it for Yes Man, he will tell you your "vanity project" is doomed for failure. If you say it was "just business", he will retort by saying that you should have worked for him for personal gain. Finally, if you say you did it just because you didn't like him, he will call you a fool for letting your feelings about him jeopardize humanity's future.
- Robert Edwin House is one of the characters that the player must eat in order to earn the Meat of Champions perk.
- In the G.E.C.K. there is a version of Mr. House as a human before the war, although he has no mustache and his hair is gray, rather than black as it looks on his computer.
- House cannot be targeted in V.A.T.S.
- Due to his age and method of staying alive, Mr. House actually counts as an abomination for the Abominable challenge. Because he is considered an abomination, shooting him with the flare gun results in the "The abomination panics and flees!" message, but nothing else happens.
- The Courier can also attempt to pickpocket Mr. House but he does not yield any items.
- If you kill him using the Ranger Takedown with any kind of displacer glove, Mr. House and the stasis chamber will flip over, causing a lag or freeze.
- Another portrait of Robert House, similar to the one in the House Resort, is found in Higgs Village in the add-on Old World Blues. It was punctured by several knives, most likely by Doctor 0, who has an intense hatred for House, long before the events of Old World Blues.
- When killed, the player loses Karma, despite House's Neutral Karma.
- When talking to him, if you look at the top left and the top area of the monitor, you will notice two giant fingerprints. The exact same fingerprints are present on the Pipboy's screen. The screen's texture might just be the same for both, but bigger on House's screen.
- If you speak to Ulysses after the end of Lonesome Road, you can tell him if you have killed House. At first he is indifferent and wonders what will happen to Vegas and the Three Families now that House is gone, but soon after he states that it's for the best.
- In Fallout 4, approaching Deezer in Covenant while having Deacon as a companion will trigger a dialogue in which Deacon says "Command override. Vocal audio House, Robert. Access core programming". Deacon claims that this is House's personal security override code, and that he won it in a poker game.

- "Don't let the video screens and computer terminals fool you. I'm flesh and blood, not silicon."
- "You needn't be afraid of me. It's my Securitrons that are going to kill you."
- "By the time I was 30 years old, I was a billionaire 30 times over. I founded and ran a vast economic empire. Do you really think I'm going to let an upstart come into my home and ransom my property to me? I spent two centuries searching for the Platinum Chip. It's my invention, my property - mine. Now be a good courier and deliver it!"

- "I'm sure the assassins will wait for you to show up."

Appearances[]
Robert House appears only in Fallout: New Vegas and is mentioned in Fallout 4.
Behind the scenes[]
- Mr. House was written by John Gonzalez.
- The challenge "A Slave Obeys" requires the player to kill Mr. House with the 9 Iron or Nephi's Golf Driver. This is a reference to the first BioShock game, in which the player beats the game's main antagonist, Andrew Ryan, to death with a 9 iron while he repeats the words "A man chooses, a slave obeys." Both characters were based in part on Howard Hughes.
- In casino parlance, "the house" refers generally to the gambler's opponent, the casino itself, as in the idiom, "The house always wins."
- Mr. House's personality is based on that of Howard Hughes. His obsession with snowglobes is a reference to another work of fiction, Orson Welles' Citizen Kane, itself based on the life of William Randolph Hearst. A snowglobe falls from the hands of the dying 'Hearst' in the beginning of the film as he utters the famously cryptic line "Rosebud".
- Jane, House's computer companion, is likely an allusion to the filmstar Jane Russell, who was under contract to Howard Hughes and also his lover for a time.

- Mr. House had another Securitron gal named Marilyn (based on Marilyn Monroe) that was apparently cut. However, she appears alongside with Jane in a card from the deck of card of the collector version, the texture file for her "face" is still in the game's files and there's a reference to her in the G.E.C.K. Also, after meeting Mr. House, Veronica will say she's "surprised he only had the two robot sex slaves." This was likely meant to reference Jane and the absent Marilyn, but the line was never removed or changed.

Bugs[]
- A medicine check of 35, gaining XP each time, can be accessed as many times as you want. [verified]
- Activating Mr. House fails to start dialogue, rendering him useless (the mainframe). This might be the result of resetting ally status of Securitrons when they are hostile due to a faction error with vault 11 robots. To fix this, enter the following commands into the console: setally 1267AB 0001B2A4, resetquest 00147885, setstage 00147885 5, setobjectivedisplayed 00147885 1, prid 001264c5, setdestroyed 0. [verified]
- The dialogue ending "at Fortification Hill" may cause a crash once he's finished talking. [verified]
- The stasis version of Mr. House will sometimes break, turning invisible. [verified]
