This is a video game about politics
Yeah and? What does that have to do with the absurdity of "yes he's a dictator, but I like him so it's ok?"
Since you find it hard to use reading comprehension in a political game when discussing in game politics I'll try to help.
Between the three options of NCR run Vegas, Independent Vegas, and Vegas ruled by Caesars legion. An independent Vegas run by the autocratic Mr. House would be the best bet for the region in my personal opinion. This is because House wants nothing more than to rebuild civilization and return to his playboy lifestyle and is willing to drag the rest of the wasteland forward to get it Please tell me where I ever said that. I like it. I said he's got that going for him which is nice. That means it's better than the other two alternatives as at least the end goal is progress and improved living conditions for a majority of the wasteland It doesn't mean I particularly like it. If Edwin Robert house decides that you are a threat to his empire, then you will be eliminated or made a non threat. That's that. However, as long as you are not a threat and you are a standard citizen of the wasteland, he literally gives less than a rat's ass about you and will never intervene with whatever you're doing. So if we were doing the political compass he would be far right bottom corner. https://youtu.be/AhiR0OWKTws
If you want to tell me how it would be better run under The NCR . Please tell me how you're going to get anything done through the cattle barons and the corrupt senate.
The "liberty" offered by anarcho capitalists extends only as far as it allows them to make more money. When he gets his robot army, what, exactly, do you think he will do with it?
Also, just an FYI: if House wasn't a member of the Enclave, and that's a big if, it's only because he wasn't a team player or got betrayed on the launch date.
His endgoal was exactly the same and his business interests were closely tied with the other mega corps.
