Well, I did have some crap going down in the Mojave wasteland that I never returned to since I have wanted to churn in more baseball in the Commonwealth. In the TV show, it looks as though the canon was that House won the game. That, however, is the most unlikely path since House had to rely on the Courier to achieve all his plans. On the contrary, the NCR did not "need" the Courier as much to eliminate Caesar's Legion and House's army of robots.
Regardless, in both the TV show's path and my path, the Mojave is as unstable as it ever was because war, war never changes.
In the Commonwealth, I gave peace a chance and got the Institute and Brotherhood on board with a gray path rather than a black-and-white one. They can achieve their missions and cooperate with other factions. Of course, creatures, raiders, and bad players are still out there. I am just not focusing as much on them since there is a considerable force holding them off in the Commonwealth. I also have introduced some former raiders into the fold who have agreed to civilization and the benefits of peace.
Quick edit: I don't think I directly addressed the status of Mr. House in my New Vegas dynasty. Perhaps there is a way to still work him into the equation for how things are going to change again in the future Mojave. I just lost some of my narrative opportunities I had sprinkled in here. When time permits, I will revisit since there are some crossovers from my two dynasties and the contents of Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Fallout 4 intended for this dynasty.

I don't think it's necessarily that Mr House won, but that the NCR lost per se. There's some semantic difference to be had. I think from a "writing" standpoint, it offers the most possibilities, so it makes sense. While I like the NCR, and want them to win, an NCR victory is "simple". Mr House being in charge is "complex", and complexity allows many plot threads to exist.
I'm more intriuged by the fact that the reason Mr House knew, down to the minute, when the bombs were going to fall is not because he had some super-prediction, but because he was just told when it'd happen, haha.
