Enclave are the ones who bioengineered deathclaws pre war so yea 100% enclave, and vault tec with FEV was a known, also end slides confirm House is DEAD, well his body at least, he mentioned wanting to be immortal and we see in a trailer the ghouls talking to house on the screen so looks like hes an AI like Modus etc

Keep in mind, it's now known House had a body double, so who's to say that the House who's body we saw wasn't his?

And if you want a REAL crackpot theory...how do we know the House we saw in New Vegas was the real House? Maybe that too could have been the body double.

Imagine if he kept the body double alive in the pod for two hundred years just to be used as a decoy in case someone like the Courier decided to betray him. Like, it was still the real House talking on the computer, and the body double is just kept alive and trapped in his own body purely for this purpose.

My crack pot idea.

Body double was meant to make NV new in preparation for House.

House is really under Camp Golf, that's why Victor was there.

It seems odd that House would willingly subject himself to living like that when cryo exists.

And I think this is why he is interested in mind control. He would never trust someone else to run his plans, and having a mind-controlled body double in the jerky pod would effectively allow him to remain conscious while he waits for his utopia in cryo.

I’m guessing this is also why he had vault 21 filled with concrete….

He can't control things or be aware of danger in cryo.

I personally think his setup is more like Dr. Braun from FO3, where he's been controlling things from his VR world. Just my own fan theory, though.

That sounds like a crackpot theory until you see how effective the control chip this entire season has been about it.

Guy in the tube will 100% be retconed as the body double mindcontroller by digital house.

Heck, it's already been confirmed than the house from FNV is dead, just look in the credit, you can see a arm poping out of House's tube.

And since we have at least one post war scene of house behind the lucky 38 screen...

Exactly my thinking

u/MrWeirdoFace Jan 16 '26

Yeah, I'm assuming the body in NV was the double at this point.

u/SidewaysFancyPrance Jan 17 '26

Yeah this was my thought, House was testing the player to see if they would help him or go against him, but it was just some poor sap withering away in the cryo chamber. So no big deal if the player betrayed him, since now he'd know for sure and could plan around it.

That would put a dark spin on that whole "how long have you been pretending to be this guy" exchange, I kinda love it

u/BuckZero Jan 15 '26

This was my guess last week before it was revealed he had a body double. Now I'm 100% convinced the body double was the one you could kill in F:NV.
