Line 135:
== Mr. House was part of the Enclave. ==
* Or at lease he knows about their existence every since before the Great War. He is intelligent, powerful, influential, wealthy, and ruthless when it comes to achieving his goals, which basically fits every requirement for someone to be accepted into part of the Enclave. Also, the [[Rob Co]] Industries which he founded was working closely with Vault-Tec and the US government before the war. It is highly unlikely that a chessmaster like Mr. House doesn't eventually discover that a secret organization is working behind the shadows.
** Also, developing from something posted on the [[Fallout: New Vegas/Fridge|Fridge Logic]] page: Prior to the Great War, RobCo (owned by House) bought out REPCONN Industries, a firm that is known to have dealt closely with the Enclave government. RobCo also had dealings with Vault-Tec, and one of House's stated aims in-game is to eventually lead humanity in colonizing the stars -- andstars—and the Vaults are supposed to be an experiment testing the sustainability of [[Generation Ship|Generation Ships]]s. Given House's ambition, genius, and authoritarian beliefs, as well as the aforementioned ties to Enclave-affiliated organizations and the resources at his disposal (enough to arm Las Vegas with a state-of-the-art missile defense system, implying military contacts as well), he seems like an obvious choice for a leader, if not one of the founding members, of the Enclave itself.
*** That would be difficult, considering that Mr House went into dormancy after the Great War due to the strain of protecting Vegas from the nukes, and didn't resurrect until decades after the Enclave had lost nearly all of their power.
**** The OP is talking about the Enclave as it was before the war, and before Mr. House went into his life-support system. That he went into dormancy may even ''help'' explain why he wasn't involved in Fallout 2.
Line 254:
== The Courier is the [[The Messiah|Second]] [[Dark Messiah|Coming]] and the Mojave Wasteland is the Battle of Armageddon. ==
 
Mr House is God. An all knowing, near omnipotent savior of mankind who kept one last bastion of mankind (Las Vegas) alive and watches over them from heaven, the Lucky 38. The reason he wants the Brotherhood of Steel destroyed is because they [[Machine Worship|worship false idols]]. Caesar, once a member of the Followers of Apocalypse, the most altruistic organization in the wasteland, is the [[Anti Christ]]. [[Affably Evil|Charismatic]] and [[Wicked Cultured|intelligent]], [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|but trying to reshape the world in his image]]. The NCR are the united forces of mankind, who, while they are at peace with the forces of heaven, [[Rage Against the Heavens|wish to rebel against House]]. While they are [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|greedy, corrupt, and imperialistic]], they have some [[God Is Evil|decent reasons for doing so]]. The platinum chip is the Book of the Seven Seals from Revelation, which each faction needs in order to either deliver final judgment unto mankind and bring them under control of his Securitron angels (House), harvest the souls of mankind (Caesar), or break free from both God and Satan's will (The NCR). The Courier can either [[The Dragon|fulfill his duty to God]], [[The Paragon Always Rebels|betray him to Lucifer and Caesar]], [[Heel Realisation|help mankind break from from their creator]], or [[Physical God|take it for their self and shape earth as they see fit]]
** Best WMG ever.
** I killed house after I met him and then left the Luck 38 forever mainly because I was bored and thought he was a dick. That probably makes me more of an anti-christ than Caesar.
Line 737:
No-Bark Noonan is a generally insane man who comes up with crackpot theories for everything he sees. Evidence seems to point, however, towards him being the chosen one:
 
1. He knows far more than he should: he talks of Benny being chased by wanamingos--insanewanamingos—insane, as they went extinct around 40 years ago. How, though, would he know of them--especiallythem—especially considering that the word "wanamingo" itself was only used by miners in Redding and the Chosen One? Not only that, but he is the ''only person'' in the game to mention them. He mentions a giant rat teaching him a spell to "reveal your true form". In Gecko, there is a giant rat named Brain, and the Chosen One is one of the few who's seen him in person.<br />2. He has a ridiculous amount of money for an insane man--noman—no matter how often he's beaten in caravan, he can play more, AND he can wager 1000 caps at a time.<br />3. He lives near a crashed highwayman. The only working highwayman in the core region or the Mojave was owned by the Chosen One.<br />4. He's of tribal complexion.<br />5. The Chosen One was about 20 in 2241, 40 years before New Vegas takes place, meaning he's the right age as well.<br /><br />As an addendum, he's not actually insane--''he's just passing a speech check to make you think so.''
 
As an addendum, he's not actually insane--''he's just passing a speech check to make you think so.''
*** Or it would sure explaine Fallout 2's sillyness
** No-Bark being the Chosen One contradicts the canon ending of Fallout 2.
Line 753 ⟶ 755:
== The Courier is related in some way to the Lone Wanderer. ==
 
The exact relationship is hard to pin down, considering the Courier has no canon age, but the picture of James and Catherine that the player can find in Vault 21 seems to imply that they were originally from the Mojave, and as this is fiction, coincidence can be immediately ruled out as boring. I'm fully aware that details like this are left deliberately vague so that players can role play however they want, but I just wanted to throw this theory out there.<ref> I personally played my Courier as the Lone Wanderer's half-brother. At the end of the game, he's not going to oversee Big MT as the narration implies, he's going east to see what happened to his old man.</ref>
* The image is purely a reference to Fallout 3, canon wise, it is absolutely impossible for that photo to have originated there. Vault 21 did not open until after James, Catherine, the Lone Wanderer, and the Courier had already born. There is no way for any of those characters to possibly come from there. The exact date is never mentioned, but it has to be, but it does say Mr. House was the one that opened the vault, which meant it happened between 2274 (when Mr. House reactivated) and 2281 (the start of New Vegas). You could role play the Courier being from there due to his vague backstory, but James, Catherine, and the Lone Wanderer all did things that were canon before the vault opened.
