My first attempt at pixel art. Thatās old game and Iāve decided to make it look a little bit even older š¾
Lanius as Vercingetorix (Gallic Chieftain)
When Iāve seen the depiction of Vercingetorix the first time, I was immediately struck by question āwho is it?ā Honestly, how devs sculpted Laniusās face - itās pure classic Vercingetorix how he is pictured on pictures and sculptures. And when Iāve heard that he was mentioned in āGallic notesā of Julius Caesar, everything set in place. Iām absolutely sure that one way or another, Laniusās face is Vercingetorixās.
Also, itās interesting that while Edward Sallow playing Rome, late republic Rome is NCR. Bureaucracy, attrition, passivity and absolute disregard of local specifics (only their gear is something absolutely not suitable for Mojave). While Legion, in contrast, playing the role of barbarian force - little harassing raids against NCR patrols and posts, effectively using terrain and liabilities of obvious more advanced ācivilizationā.
Vercingetorix was a hero of Galls, no disrespect. In fact, he is one of the most famous and popular folks heroes of ancient history. Yet, such man as Lanius, in my opinion, has or couldāve had a potential. By the environment of the tent (bodies of the NCR soldiers donāt count lol) we can see that he eats with his praetorians (there are a few portions on the table), he sleeps on a plain mattress and calls his soldiers ābrothersā. That doesnāt excuse the rest of things, but at least it has something to think about.
Visuals:
Mr President and CEO at work.
I have a feeling this man had very bad vision, but wore glasses only at work. So, if you met him and he hasnāt greeted you, perhaps he tried to get if you are acquaintance or some piece of scenery. Arrogant squint - weaponized myopia and astigmatism

Ranking Pre-War Mr. House Depictions
1. The Terminal Screen
A timeless classic, it's the image Mr. House selected to represent himself post-war and for good reason, he looks both authoritative and condescending. Perfectly sums up the character, he's in top form, no notes. I love the raised eyebrow, the age lines in his face and the little notches in his chin. 10/10
2. The Camp Golf Portrait
The white slacks are an unexpected but tasteful choice and the contrapposto leg helps him seem marginally more relaxed than the hands-clasped-pose would be otherwise. He's still rigid but he's having a portrait done so it makes sense. Having this in the game makes him feel like a real person that existed and it intrigues me, plus the double breasted suit is a slay. 11/10
3. The Limited Edition Playing Card
Not much going on with this one between the lack of a body and the neutral expression. Not offensive but he just looks like a generic guy so he gets a 4/10
4. The Prototype
This one is upsetting, the tiny teeth and thin lips make me very uncomfortable. His mustache is weirdly flared, his skin looks thin and papery, and the expression feels pained to me. However, the wide peak lapels and his polka dot tie are funny, so this design at least has some comedy to ease the viewer's agony. Plus we can rest slightly more easily in the knowledge that this is not canon... but only slightly. -10/10
5. The Stasis Chamber Concept Art
This Mr. House looks truly haunted, which makes sense because this portrait hangs over his stasis chamber like a memorial photo at a funeral. The eye we can make out is so soulful and sad, it makes me feel like his pre-war self is deeply troubled watching what he's become, and yet his warped real body still clings desperately to life, which creates an interesting juxtaposition for the viewer. I feel like putting his body out of its misery would be a kindness for this tortured Mr. House, and I would do anything to ease his immense suffering. 100/10
I love his full-height image. Itās my primary reference in my arts (obviously a little bit more polished version, flattering), plus he looks the most realistic like that I think. More alive.
Scandalous Robert Edwin House š

Hear me out, Lanius is not the mindless brute.
From the very beginning, everything we hear about Lanius is that he is a beast: ferocious, mindless, violence incarnate. Caesar supplies the most vivid version ā a grotesque propaganda myth about a tribal who slaughtered his own people for surrendering. Itās pure boogeyman material: immoral, excessive, violence for the sake of violence.
The problem is that Caesar is a notoriously unreliable narrator. He lies constantly and instrumentally. His stories exist to shape belief, not to tell truth. And this one collapses under even minimal scrutiny.
We are given another account by Lucius, the head of the Praetorian Guard, a far more credible source in every sense:
āHe's the best warrior in the Legion. A full Legionary by the time he was 12, he's never lost a battle.ā
If this were a fabrication, why wouldnāt it align with Caesarās myth? Why offer a restrained, almost administrative description when Caesar is literally in the next room? The lack of coordination suggests that Lucius isnāt selling a legend.
Lanius himself dismantles the āmindless bruteā narrative the moment he speaks.
He is extremely articulate and eloquent. His speech is vivid, controlled, and precise:
āOur warriors will wash over them in a tide of blood, severing arms before they can attack, legs before they can run, and heads before they can pray.ā
Or this:
āThey are passable foes. Like their citizens, they prefer their war from a distance ā and at that, they excel.ā
Itās hard to pick a single line, because almost everything he says is linguistic ecstasy. His vocabulary is rich, layered, and deliberate. This is not the speech of a recently captured tribal. If anything, compared to Lanius, Caesar often sounds like an LA teen with strong opinions on dialectics. Laniusās language suggests extensive reading, internalized rhetoric, and imagination ā even his threats are structured and poetic.
(i canāt not mention this line ā Woman of the West... you will learn your place - in my tent, and again, when you beg for release on the edge of my bladeā)
He is also strategically literate.
He understands perfectly well that the Legion is worse equipped than the NCR and compensates accordingly:
āOur forces are better equipped to take objectives than hold them. I do not wish to defend this place if another option exists.ā
And he acts on this understanding. Legion forces attack through tunnels, neutralizing NCR firepower in tight, enclosed spaces. That isnāt brute force ā itās applied tactical knowledge. He uses strategic terminology naturally. You do not acquire this kind of competence as a ārandom tribal.ā
Even small details matter. In combat lines, he refers to his soldiers as ābrothers.ā Someone new to the ranks does not speak that way. That language reflects long integration, authority, and mutual recognition ā not an outsider elevated overnight.
Which leads to the most important question: why would Caesar, of all people, make a ānoobā his Legate?
Caesar had problems even with his oldest and closest ally. He does not tolerate incompetence, and he certainly does not hand absolute military authority to an untested brute. The far more plausible explanation is this: there already was a capable, literate, trusted centurion ā almost a prodigy. Caesar then manufactured the myth. He forged āLaniusā as an image and sent him east to rebuild the Legion Joshua Graham had nearly destroyed through arrogance.
And Lanius succeeded.
In three years, he rebuilt an army that Caesar and Joshua had spent decades creating. He survived the brutal Denver campaign, exploited the Hangdogsā weaknesses, conquered them, and even introduced innovation ā war hounds ā into Legion doctrine. That alone disqualifies him from the āmindless enforcerā label.
It also explains why Joshua Graham has no idea who Lanius is. The name didnāt exist yet. The image was constructed later.
Finally ā and most tellingly ā Lanius is reasonable.
He can be persuaded not to take Vegas, not through emotion, but through economics, logistics, and attrition. And this line, for me, is very important argument against bloodthirsty beast:
āThe East was a hard-fought campaign. Even now, Caesar drew too much of the Legion's blood needed there for⦠this. Hoover Dam is but a place. I will not have it be the gravestone of the Legion ā whether quickly, or as you describe, slowly⦠by attrition.ā
None of this applies to a ābeast tribal.ā
Lanius is a deeply underestimated character. Almost everything we know about him is propaganda or half-truth ā and that is precisely where Obsidianās writing shines. Their characters are never simple. Every major figure has an underlayer, and Laniusās is one of the most carefully hidden ā and most rewarding ā in the game.
Art- mine.
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it: I only like the Legion because I'm kinky.
Yep, plain and simple. What can I help, guys, you heard Lanius?

House isnāt a cold-blooded villain.
Yes, as I wrote in the previous post, he isnāt the worldās first softie ā but his persona is written far too carefully and deeply to reduce him to āevil technocratā to what he is reduced in series.
House is deeply sentimental.
He loves the Old World and openly longs for it. He adores Vegas and wants it preserved and restored exactly as he remembers it. He even speaks about the Lucky 38 almost tenderly:
āPerhaps you were referring to the Lucky 38? The years havenāt been kind to her, but still she manages to impress.ā
He keeps a collection of snow globes and eagerly pays a ridiculous 2,000 caps for each one:
āI enjoy them. Thereās something about a little diorama set inside a glass dome that I⦠{beat} find pleasing.ā
This is also why he inspired the tribe that became the Omertas to impersonate the mafia.
āThey reminded me of a certain criminal element Vegas used to attract. I told them some stories, gave them some clothes ā and they ran with it.ā
Just imagine it: a 250-year-old man teaching a tribe how to cosplay the pre-War mafia because it made him nostalgic. Thatās not evil mastermind behavior ā thatās a lonely intellectual indulging in memory. He may posture as an aloof techno-god in a coffin, but deep down he wants to live inside one of his own snow globes, where nothing went wrong and everything is still in its place.
House also doesnāt behave like a purely detached CEO toward the Courier.
He slips constantly into instructive, passive-aggressive grandpa mode:
āArrogance was their undoing. There might be a lesson in that.ā (When courier says that Omerta wasnāt a challenge)
āCanāt put the genie back in the bottle, is that it? Maybe you shouldāve thought of that before you conspired to destroy my property.ā
āAnd whose idea was it to offer yourself up as a sacrificial lamb? Really ā what did you expect?ā
Heās grumpy, but even when the Courier fails, he scolds first and then adapts anyway. From cut content, he even says that Benny was like a son to him ā and that if he had ever had a child, he wouldāve wanted them to be like the Courier. This line appears at the very end of the game, where manipulation would be pointless. That makes it land as sincere.
And then thereās his snark.
House isnāt cold ā he feels a lot. His irritation just isnāt explosive like Caesarās; itās precise, sarcastic, and restrained.
For example:
āLast I knew, President Kimball wasnāt scheduled to visit the Lucky 38. Be on your way to Hoover Dam, will you?ā (When courier roaming around instead of going to the Dam)
But nowhere is he more merciless than when talking about the Brotherhood of Steel:
āNo, they greatly prefer the sort of technology that puts people in hospitals. Or graves, rather, since hospitals went the way of the Dodo.ā
āThe world has no use for emotionally unstable techno-fetishists. Just wipe them out, will you?ā (Sure, Rob, you shall be the only one)
āDonāt tell me youāve fallen for the stories of noble paladins on crusade. Dross!ā
āWeāre talking about a coterie of bulging-eyed fanatics who think all pre-War technology belongs to them.ā
Thatās not detached machine logic. Thatās academic bile. A pissed-off intellectual tearing into people he despises.
His pettiness even shows in his joke about Caesarās baldness:
āI donāt want you harming a hair on that manās head ā assuming you can find one.ā
He absolutely thought about that joke for years before delivering it. Yes, Robert, youāre older, richer, and immortal ā and youāre still bullying Edward over his hairline.
And of course, the ass jokes:
āā¦the Chip is a little too large to be {beat} secreted awayā¦ā
Emotionally arrested MIT nerd remains undefeated.
House presents himself as aloof and unreachable, but thatās defensive elevation.
He has low self-esteem, high social awkwardness, and an intense fear of being belittled. So he places himself somewhere untouchable ā above everyone ā where rejection is impossible. He craves recognition, legacy, and to be remembered.
He literally writes his own obituary, where between ālast hope for humanityā and ātragedy befallen mankindā, he adds literally : āHe lived 261 years. How many people do that? I mean, come on.ā
Thatās not godhood. Thatās insecurity with a PhD.
He desperately wants to be recognized ā and genuinely cannot believe he could be accepted as he is, without the techno-deity performance. The romance cut lines only reinforce this: theyāre awkward, cautious, reverent, and deeply human.
House isnāt cold. Heās sentimental, petty, snarky, defensive, lonely ā and painfully adorable old geezer ā¤ļøš«¶š»
Why House Is OOCā And Why āCommon Moralityā Doesnāt Apply
The problem with the seriesā portrayal of Robert House is not that he is shown as evil.
House is a bad person by ordinary moral standards.
The problem is that he is āevilā in the wrong way.
To understand House, common morality is insufficient.
Class matters.
House is first and foremost a monopolistic bourgeois. This is not a personality trait ā it is a structural position. His personal quirks matter, but they are secondary to the logic of capital he operates within.
The Strip is his enterprise.
The Three Families are his employees.
He does not care how immoral their actions are as long as they are profitable:
gambling people into ruin, organized crime, sex labor, indulgence of the worst human impulses.
If it brings income, it is permitted.
This is not sadism.This is capital.
Capital does not operate according to everyday morality. It operates according to expansion. Whether people suffer, degrade themselves, or destroy their lives is irrelevant to its function. In this sense, House is alienated from common morals ā not amoral, but operating within class logic.
His fixation on robots and automation is equally consistent. Humans are expensive, unpredictable, and politically inconvenient. They require wages, stability, and reproduction. Machines do not. Robots are constant capital ā cheaper, controllable, and ideologically neutral.
House still needs people ā as consumers and labor ā but not as political actors.
This is why mind-control fantasies are nonsense. House doesnāt want puppets. He wants systems.
Being bourgeois does not automatically make someone morally evil. History shows capitalists funding hospitals, charity, even labor movements. Class enemy does not equal personal enemy. Even Friedrich Engels despised his own class while remaining bourgeois.
House could have been kinder.
He simply isnāt.
Personality still matters. House is alienated, socially closed, distrustful of humans as a species. He explicitly prefers machines because people are unreliable. He is a socially awkward engineer with a god complex, limited emotional literacy, juvenile flashes of humor, and stiff old-world manners.
He is ruthless, unsentimental, pragmatic to the point of inhuman -
but he is not a thrill-seeker, not a social butterfly, and not a chaos enjoyer.
A man who calculated survival probabilities for centuries does not loiter in pubs or indulge in pointless violence for fun.
More than that, if we apply Georgi Dimitrovās definition, Houseās Vegas can be described as fascistic ā without mass politics. This is an open dictatorship of capital without liberal or democratic mediation. No chauvinism is required. People are simply irrelevant as political subjects.
The objection is not that House is ābadā.
The objection is that he is portrayed out of character.
House is not a cartoon villain.
He is cold, coherent, alienated, and rational.
As a faction, House embodies capital itself: pragmatic, controlling, undead, outdated.
A lich in a tower, consuming human lives to sustain a system that outlives them.
That is why I love this game and Obsidian writing so much. No faction is pure. No choice is simple.
House is not evil because he is mad. He is evil because he is consistent.
But i love that old weirdo nonetheless and canāt stand how he is flattened into ābad capitalistā trope.
Series lovers seriously provoking me to write stuffy politeconimical essay why we donāt idolize House, seriously. One ālikeā and I will seriously write it. āSuddenly he was shown like evil?ā- no, not suddenly, dears, but evil could be different. āEvilā can have different motives, different psyche organization, different modus operandi of their āevilā deeds. And yes, evil in quotation marks, because he isnāt psychopath, he is businessman, he operates within interests of his class.

BIG NEWS FOR HOUSE FUCKERS EVERYWHERE!!
After a recent discovery of the beta game files the previously unheard lines were made available!! YESSSS!!!! I personally sifted through all of the present voice lines for this. Not really to find these lines, though that was certainly a major motivator, but just for general House content. To which, there are some misc TTS lines left over that RenƩ had not voiced yet. Other than that, it is every line that is in the game and a few that are not WITHOUT the voice filter. So! Enjoy!
Oh my god. Him talking about the courier cheeks, calling us darling⦠oh my god heās so in love itās sickening. I am going to write the most putrid yaoi/yuri the world has ever fucking seen of him and the courier.
He asks the courier to look angrier oh my god Robert do you like sexy people who maybe are a tad mean to you. Do you like it when a hot person is a little mean to you, Robbie. Oh my GOD.
That line has been making me go crazy. Like! I love how incredibly awkward he is. It feels so wildly appropriate
Oh god, heās so awkward and fumbling⦠heās so stinking cute. Absolutely adorable with how bad he is at flirting.
im already planning on modding this into the game because the voice lines are (thank god) gender neutral btw šš½ idk how im gonna do it ive never made a mod before but im deadass gonna do it
PLEASE PLEASE DO IT
You made my day!!

Only I noticed how game fans became suddenly aware about any micro detail about House, started to call him Robert and defend him even if most of them killed him in every play through? Thatās so endearing. Because before the show there wasnāt much content about him at all.
Like we could despise that bourgeois fossil, but he is our fossil. Hand off our grandpa š
Oh, guys, I know that Iām in rant mode again, but just hear me out.
House in series is so out of character that is impossible how to do it worse. Yes, House is bourgeois lich in the game, how Caesar called him āwizard in towerā, but he was not fleshy rich slacker who would lounge in questionable places.
House is control freak, he is obsessed with systems, with numbers, calculations, he would not risk that much. Plus he is alienated not because of money elitism (my opinion, because he is canonically self made), but because he is obsessive with his industry nerd.
He is misanthropic, yes, manipulative, yes, but he prefers work with predictable systems, robots (he says it himself in game lines). Thatās on what he prefers to rely on. Not some weird mind control devices.
He doesnāt use wealth in the game for personal benefit, money are tools for his āvisionā of sorts.
As well as he isnāt charismatic. He is, in some way, but he has huge blind spot in social life. He chose Benny as his protĆ©gĆ©. That alone tells us something. Because for everyone Benny is the least reliable man in the world.
Thatās not our fossil granddaddy. Anyone but him.
For actors and speech writers I have zero questions of course, they do their best, Iām not blind hater of a show. But the concept of House absolutely has zero relevance to canon Robert.
And yes, Iām not Houseās fan. I like him, but I donāt like what he wants to do for obvious reasons, I never sided him, but I canāt just be silent about it either.
