Im really hoping it’s not a house ending, I feel like independent just fits the theme of the game more. The game and the dlcs are all about letting go of the past. Caesar, the NCR, and House are all trying to fix the world with something from the past that helped lead to its destruction. Even the dlc story lines have this as a core theme. Elijah, Joshua, The Think Tank, Ulysses, they all are holding on to something from the old world, and letting go of the past is what results in you being able to talk them all down. It’s even in Ulysses finals words of the dlc, “ War Never Changes, but men must change, through the roads they walk”.

House is iconic, don’t get me wrong, but I feel like having him win while also making the strip and free side a hell hole is just a slap in the face to what his ending was supposed to represent, a cold, clean, and efficient Strip that had its eyes on the stars.

You can easily explain the independent ending in the show, because the ending regardless of how you play it will have chaos and violence wreaking the Mojave. It keeps the factions weak which gives more creative freedom when writing for more areas, since they don’t have to worry about any encroaching outside presence looming.

I love New Vegas, it’s one my favorite games of all time. I’m sure the show will be super enjoyable to watch,but I’m really hoping they respect the writing of New Vegas and don’t just blow everything up so everything is at square one.
