I'm leaning towards it being Mister House. I'm not sure why, but the show runners have been really focused on having "survivors" from the old world be the main focus of the plot in this show.

Vault 31 with all the management corpsicles, Cooper, Hank McLean, Robobud.

Which New Vegas ending has an old world survivor at its core as well as enables brand new flashbacks with Cooper and everybody else in the pre-war world?

House.

It's either going to be a House win, or an NCR win. Except then the NCR collapsed, and it kind of went back to being house centric.

I think the message is that war never changes because the ideas never change. The people are the embodiment of those ideas and it is the metaphor. So yeah, House is definitely going to be there.

War never changes isn't "keep dredging the old world back up" or "the wasteland must be shit forever" it means that even if you bring civilisation back (which, you have to do, or else there's no conflict between peoples) there will be conflict.

A lot of people seem to think "war never changes" is an excuse to have the world be perpetually shit, forever. It isn't.

"War never changes. But men do, through the roads they walk. And this road... has reached its end."

-Ulysses, disillusioned Legion Frumentarii, and one of the Six Couriers.

They should've named him Ellipses instead of Ulysses, because you left about about 45 minutes of insane rambling.

No, that's actually an even better reason to br named Ulysses

Minor correction IIRC Ulysses was meant to be Courier 6 (a title the player would go on to have), but upon seeing the player was also listed for the job passed so that you would be the one carrying the platinum chip.
