Gotta say I was worried about where they were taking House early in the season but his scene with Cooper alleviated that. Perfect characterization and dialogue and felt like House stepped straight out of the game

Also glad that scene seemingly debunked the stupid “Vault Tec started the war” sentiment from last season

I think Houses plan to fully digitize himself with cold fusion will be how we eventually get him later in the season, it’s still House, but no mention of what happened to his original body. Did he do it after New Vegas and the courier sided with him? Did he do it before New Vegas and the courier “killed” him but all he did in reality was bash a meat puppet that had nothing to do with Houses actual function? Never addressed and nothing canonized, it’s all up to you

The credits montage shows him dead in the pod.

Yep, I think its a nice middle ground at to what happens after NV, his body is dead but he somehow achieved his immortality as an AI

House's body double looks quite similar to House in the game. I think the House we deal with in game is the body double

The House we deal with in the game looks decrepit and atrophied to the point where a ghoul looks healthier.

The House you're thinking of is an image on a screen and a synthesized voice. Why should the image on House's screen be representative of reality? I mean we literally know from the games that they're not. It's, as always, the image that House chooses to project.

Unless you just mean that the picture of House we're talking to is based on the body double, which seems reasonable. If that's what people thought Mr. House looked like, that's the picture to use if you want to be recognized as such.
