Ah, that one.

Tbf, the person he hand the minutemen to is a murder machine capable of tearing through entire factions in the wasteland on his lonesome in mythical feat of arms (like basically every Fallout MC) with ungodly charisma, and he’s also supposedly a pre-war soldier/officer, though he never make use of it to improve minutemen training/organisation…In conclusion fuck the FO4 BoS, fuck the Railroad and fuck the Institute for thinking giving the janitor robot self aware human like A.I. was in any way needed at all. Preston Gravey was the only sane man in the Commonwealth and in my head cannon he is Washington 2 "This time I am brown" who could have single handedly led a resurgence of civilization in Boston with his Minutemen if Bethesda writers weren't brainlets who made him give up command to some pre-war moron who can't even be bothered to run the organization on a 20hr work week much less full time and with propper care.
For all their talk about their superiority in terms of knowledge and technology, the Institute is pretty dumb to be honest. They could easily use Synth technology to functionally become immortal. Just implant the brain (which is the seat of consciousness) into a new Synth body modeled after the original one and voila, you can now extend your life many years.In conclusion fuck the FO4 BoS, fuck the Railroad and fuck the Institute for thinking giving the janitor robot self aware human like A.I. was in any way needed at all.

Imagine what Mr. House would so with such technology. He'd probably be overjoyed. Though with his centuries in isolation, he would likely have his brain placed in a new body, have that sealed while having a remotely controlled synth body to interact the general public in New Vegas in an official capacity.
I am a bit late but rhe FO4 Bos is literally the worst out of all the games. Sorry but it's true.
They are shitting over the "must secure tech" of the oldschool BoS and outcasts by blowing up the Institute instead of capturing it. I would understand if they had no choice but the PC literally is about to have the place handed to him on a silver platter. Just take a moment to work out a decent infiltration and Maxson can just remote destroy the synths he hates so much.
Then there is the worse part of the complete corruption of FO3 Lyons Elder ideals. They are no longer trying ro rebuild the USA or something like it like he was but just straight up a Fascist (and I don't use that word lightly) military taking over. They have become a bit too similar to the FO2 Enclave for my tastes, and unlike them they are perfectly willing to use wastelander fodder to make themselves into the new nobility of this empire.
Finally there is the despicable lack of self awareness ans petty shit with wanting to destroy the Minutemen. I can understand the Railroad with their Synth fetish and the Institute when they had no choice, but the Minutemen were pretty much a perfect chance to bolster their ranks with locals to serve as police and light troops. Preston would likely help the settlements ans help coordinate things. But the Minutemen aren't True Believers are they? They don't have the undying loyalty to Fearless Leader Elder Maxson. So they need to go.
Preston Garvey: Hey General another settlement needs your help.Also Pressed In Gravy's minutemen were not exactly doing super hot until the SS showed up, and they never get off the ground unless the SS makes it happen.
My issue with Maxon is that he's way too dogmatic to the point of stupidity. The pragmatic choice for his faction would be to capture institute technology and repurpose it to help supplement them.This is an outright lie. The Brotherhood do not turn on the Minutemen at any point in the game, it is outright impossible for them to initiate hostilities. The only way the brotherhood and Minutemen end up at war is if you, as the leader of the Minutemen, intentionally declare war on them without provocativation in the quest "With Our Powers Combined" and fire on the prydwyn. Otherwise, they'll remain friendly.

Then again as Mr House notes, the BOS is not known for collecting Autodocs but rather shiny suits of power armor. Their whole faction essentially while not evil, larps with their power armor as though they were the knights of yore. The Brotherhood's American Ancestor's would be horrified at how they lost their American heritage in favor of that of knights.

House, has a real plan(and has the tech and understanding)) to rebuild society and take back the world. Yes he will basically be the "King" if the Vegas he has running serves as a sample of what he can offer compared to living in the "wilds"/"other factions" then it is really a no brainer. Yes it is "bad" compared to theoretical freedom we have in real world modern day(maybe)(we used to have kings) the safety of not dealing with radiation, unclean food, water, hostile mutants, raiders, aliens and god knows what else seems like a decent trade.

For those of us that haven't played it, could you elucidate?
Ok, but the problem that a lot of the stuff he is going to need aren't there right now. Where're the engineers? Where's the platform for his rockets going to be? Where's the food going to come from?Actually, House's 'plan' in New Vegas is, essentially, practically two centuries of 'improv' planning, not his actual plan. He was, at this point, doing a lot of the stuff on the fly/seat of his pants.
What he had compared to the other options was a long-term goal and the drive to achieve that goal.
Thing is, he's going to have a mostly robotic workforce instead of the usual meatbags. Independent Securitrons are surprisingly intelligent, meaning that they can easily replace the engineers overall. One of the quests that get slotted to you (from either the nearby town or, if you ignored it, House) is clearing out REPCONN of Ghouls and House doesn't give a fuck on how you do it.Ok, but the problem that a lot of the stuff he is going to need aren't there right now.
