Denying Mr House his prize and then giving in (Fallout New Vegas)

Mr House gets angry and sarcastic if you give in at the last moment.

If you refuse to give him the chip, he will order his securitrons to fire on you and you will fail the House Always Wins quest line.

He pays you more for
a snow-globe then a full military upgrade usb drive lol

I wish there was a low int option where you put a normal poker chip on the table instead

[Andrew-twsv]

The voice acting and writing for this character is superb.

“Give it to me before I give you a one-star on Uber Chips!!”

[TheIT]

“It’s MY invention, MY property - MINE. Now be a good courier and DELIVER IT”
“Ok”
“Why thank you so much”

[BasedPeter]

“I’VE WAITED 200 YEARS, PROTECTED VEGAS FROM NUCLEAR ANNIHILATION, MADE AN OASIS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT, PROTECTED BY AN ARMY OF ROBOTS I DESIGNED WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER AND I AM NOT GOING TO BE BLACKMAILED BY A LITERAL BRAINDEAD MAILMAN!!”

[Athesies]

Mr house has some of the best facial animation I've ever seen in a Bethesda game

0:22 "Think carefully- you're surrounded"
*seven damaged securitron guards stand above the corpse of the courier-
- woefully unable to extract the platinum chip from his pocket with their crane game claws*

[manboy]

"now give me my chip."
[intelligence 1] i mean, i got some potato chips.

I get people making fun of Mr. House being like "It's mine. MINE!" And saying he's being childish. But like, just try to tell me that if you were digging through rubble, for 200 years, looking for an object small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, that would literally make your most ambitious goals into reality, that you wouldn't react AT LEAST that badly when a literal brain-damaged mailman finds it and brings it all the way to your home just to tell you in person that they're going to keep it, despite it having literally no value to them whatsoever beyond being a shiny thing that you also want.

_imagine being an upstart courier with a 9 iron and a challenge_

[donaldravius]

I have played this game since its release on Xbox, and only today did I find out there was alternate dialogue if you teased robo-daddy with the chip...

[Samael]

"...any attempt to "re-negotiate" payment would be tantamount to blackmail. Which is illegal on this space station, Quark. You're going to the brig."

[basedbattledroid]

I wish there was an option like (Intelligence 2) "Why don't you just come out of your stasis chamber and get it?"

[JafarFromAfar_]

RIP René Auberjonois, what a fantastic voice actor.

[Kabutoes]

Mr. House acting like a child for the chip, “mine! MINE!”

[jarskil]

Courier: *I altered our deal, pray I dont alter it any further*

[bugraerkan]

I only wish securitrons were more powerful or he didn't let you in the floor with weapons. I always shoot the robots with ease and kinda feel sorry for him, being the most powerful man for the last 2 centuries only to be outed by some delivery guy with a toy pistol

[BeowulfMc]

I feel like his reaction after you hand it over, the thank you so much, is meant to be genuine relief. He may be arrogant but he knows how batshit violent and uh, bulletproof the courier is.

[apertureAI-jwiz]

Mr. House is an insanely reasonable boss with the amount of bullshit you can get away with him.
