TV show\u2019s ending tease explained<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>New Vegas is what remains of Las Vegas after the Great War of 2077. Robert House (known as Mr House), owner of RobCo Industries and the Lucky 38 Casino managed to protect the city from many of the falling bombs with his defence systems but not before a planned system upgrade would have ensured the safety of the city.<\/p>\n<p>Mr House managed to keep himself alive for decades in an induced coma, but the citizens of Las Vegas eventually succumbed to the huge amounts of radiation left over from the war.<\/p>\n<p>After this, tribes moved in and picked apart the city but Mr House chose not to interfere. It was only when the NCR (New Californian Republic) scouts entered the Mojave desert and discovered that the Hoover Dam was still operable did he make his move. House sent robots to the leaders of the tribes and invited them into the Vegas Strip to open casinos and join him, or be wiped out.<\/p>\n<p>However, House knew that this wouldn\u2019t be enough to stop the NCR and searched long and hard for the Platinum Chip that contained the necessary patch to upgrade the city\u2019s defences and ensure its independence.<\/p>\n<p>With all this in mind, New Vegas is one of the preeminent powers of the wasteland but depending on which ending you choose in Fallout New Vegas, its fate is all but certain.<\/p>\n<p>The end of the Fallout TV series shows Vault 33\u2019s overseer Hank MacLean (Kyle MacLachlan) making his way to the fabled city which has remained intact \u2014 to some extent \u2013 without much else being given away.<\/p> <h2><b>What happened in the Fallout: New Vegas endings?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Below are the main endings that players can unlock in Fallout New Vegas with one of them potentially being made into the official canonical ending.<\/p>\n<h3><b>NCR ending<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>If you choose to align yourself with the NCR, they will come out as victorious and control the Hoover Dam and go on to annex New Vegas as well as the surrounding settlements with Mr House out of the picture.<\/p>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvideo.io\/players\/gv.js\" data-license-key=\"f0cf5e3e9068d9a4affa36d5c8962eaf1a0662ba\"\/> <div style=\"width:50%;min-height:100vh;overflow:hidden;aspect-ratio:16\/9;position:relative;\"> <style><![CDATA[ .gvtext1, .gvtext2 { animation-duration: 5s; animation-iteration-count: infinite; animation-direction: alternate; width:100%; } .gvtext1 { animation-name: gvtext1; } .gvtext2 { animation-name: gvtext2; } @keyframes gvtext1 { 0% { opacity: 1 } 47% { opacity: 1 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @keyframes gvtext2 { 0% { opacity: 0 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 53% { opacity: 1 } 100% { opacity: 1 } } ]]><\/style> <div style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:smaller;position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;background:rgb(208, 208, 208);border-radius:30px;display:flex;text-align:center;align-items:center;\"> <div class=\"gvtext2\" style=\"position:absolute;\"> Green Video Post Element <br\/>Video ID: \"4c7dc1b16fa9a14d4b620b32224984b5fe070134\" <br\/>Mix ID: \"\" <br\/>Player ID: \"Tw3-XowQ\" <\/div> <div class=\"gvtext1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"> If the player doesn't appear here within a few seconds, the Player ID or Licence Key (set via IM Green Video settings) might be invalid. <\/div> <\/div> <green-video embed-id=\"Tw3-XowQ\" content-id=\"4c7dc1b16fa9a14d4b620b32224984b5fe070134\" mix-id=\"\"\/>\n<\/div> <h3><b>Mr House ending<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Mr House continues as the leader of New Vegas with his reign and control over the Hoover Dam secured by the delivery of the Platinum Chip that affords him an army of robots to keep the peace and enforce his law.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Yesman ending<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The Courier kills Mr House and takes his place.

This would no doubt be extremely polarising for many fans but it may just be a bitter pill that Bethesda and fans alike have to swallow.<\/p>\n<p>Another option is to explore what happened in the 15 years since the ending of New Vegas and the events of the TV series. Something cataclysmic may happen that leaves enough ambiguity to not say what happened one way or another as it was disruptive enough for any action taken during New Vegas to ultimately be futile.<\/p>\n<p>What this theoretical event could be is hard to imagine though but fans are already quite unhappy with how the TV series has handled the Fallout lore.<\/p>\n<p>Any trailer for season 2 is bound to keep its cards close, but if any rumours or leaks come to pass, we will update you as soon as we know more going forward.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly, it\u2019ll be interesting to find out if Mr House is still alive, after his flashback cameo in the show\u2019s first season!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out more of our <a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/\">Gaming<\/a> coverage or visit our <a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/\">TV Guide<\/a> and <a title=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/\">Streaming Guide<\/a> to find out what\u2019s on.
