Running the The Tops. Ring-a-ding, baby! Didn't Yes Man say that Benny didn't know what the chip was used for?

>Didn't Yes Man say that Benny didn't know what the chip was used for?
it's been ages since I played, but that would be incredibly retarded if so. My guess is he didn't know how to get into the bunker twith Caesar sitting on top of it.

I actually just played thru NV for the first time (yes I am late to the party) and that was the notion I got. Benny knew it was valuable but didn't know what to do with it. But then he tries to sneak into the fort? Idk. The story itself is kind of retarded. Lots of farfetched shit and coincidences. Why didn't Mr. House just have his securitrons go get it from Benny?

Ring a ding

Because Mr. House is a fat retard
>Wants to be the mastermind behind everything
>Can't even control 3 casinos in his own turf from doing horrible things

You all need to play the game again. Benny knows that the chip can be used to overwrite Mr. House's defense. That's literally what he plans to use it for. The only thing he doesn't seem to know is that the chip can be used to upgrade the Securitrons to MK. II, but that doesn't matter since Yes Man can tell him at any point.

>he doesn't seem to know
Not according to his sycophant. People really need to pay attention to the dialogue, its like 90% of the lore

Because he knows mr house has a bunker out there.

I think there were other couriers he hunted down as well. Besides that I think he was trying to broker with the other casinos and an opportunity to use Yes Man in someway.

>why didn’t House send his army in?
I think it was explained that even if he could prove Benny had it (which he couldn’t until the courier showed up), the agreement he has with the other families was predicated on his army not being used against them. If House had, his little old world project would tumble down

Standing in the Tops lobby.

Also that, as House directly says, Benny would just have to point a pistol at the chip or threaten to smash it. Even if House could easily just have him arrested or taken out the chip would be at serious risk, and if he lost it it'd be game over.

i never really even thought of it i just wrote it all off as triple 4d chess psyop reverse psychology gone wrong

celebrating?

House knew Benny had the chip, he knew it ever since Victor saved the courier. Why didn't he send a bunch of securitrons to intercept Benny along the road?
>the agreement he has with the other families was predicated on his army not being used against them
House's entire plan rotates around getting the chip back, breaking whatever deal he had with them was worth it because he's doomed to fail otherwise. And not doing anything because the game needs to put you on House's way by recovering the chip makes him look like a clueless retard.

>actually arguing character motivations for a fucking fallout game
lmao what in the world is wrong with Any Forums. It doesn't matter. Just shoot them.

why couldn't house just write new firmware for the securitrons

House says that his securitrons lack the ability to receive complex instructions or alternate guidelines from a long range, hence why Victor only has basic retrieval and monitoring instructions until the Courier is revived. Still, that doesn't explain why House didn't send multiple robot scouts around the routes to Vegas in order to intercept Benny earlier on or monitor the Mojave Express routes from a distance to make sure there wouldn't be foul play.

>you can spend a year of in game time just hanging around Goodsprings
>all the characters still act like everything happened yesterday

immersion breaking trash game literally unplayable

Obsidian "writing" in full effect. No wonder trannies worship this game.

House is full of shit, he sends a shutdown command to Victor if you convince him to help fight the powder gangers.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

The game very explicitly says he doesn’t know how to use it, just that it’s important

>that doesn't explain why House didn't send multiple robot scouts around the routes to Vegas
Its not like he has a limitless supply of securitrons at his disposal. He cant even set his plans in motion until he has his garrison at Fortification Hill activated and upgraded, and he requires the chip to do so

Why did Benny try and kill the Courier anyway instead of just robbing him
