Yes, shame on Caesar for trying to reestablish civilization.
Caesar for trying to reestablish civilization.
The Followers of the Apocalypse actually reestablish civilization, not serial killers that happened to read a history book.
He has an army of securitrons. Even without the upgrade they should be enough to deal with any or all of the NV families. And that's another thing, why the fuck would you even bring a bunch of tribals into New Vegas? You already have your robots, just selectively open up the gates and get fucking employees that don't have long standing ties to each other that can one day turn against you...
From the wiki:
Before the
Great War started, Mr. House used his considerable genius and wealth to ensure that no missiles would strike the city of Las Vegas. Though a few warheads did get through in the outskirts, most of the city was spared. Despite this, the Strip itself was not re-settled, and after close to two hundred years, Mr. House immediately began searching for a mysterious
Platinum chip, and rebuilding the glory of Las Vegas. Sending out
Securitron scouts, Mr. House started negotiating with local tribes, specifically the
Slither Kin,
Mojave Boot-Riders, and a unnamed tribe of cannibals to exchange his considerable resource stockpiles for their help. Some of the tribes resisted, but these three tribes eventually gained Mr. House’s favor. They became the Omertas, Chairmen, and White Glove Society, running the Gomorrah, Tops, and Ultra-Luxe casinos, respectively. Because Mr. House was dedicated to restoring Las Vegas, he insisted on transforming the tribes into families with cultures that harkened back to Vegas’ glory days.
In the process of rebuilding the Strip, Mr. House also effectively “bought out” the residents of
Vault 21. After they evacuated, he had the Vault stripped of useful technology, most of its actual volume filled with concrete, and the entrance turned into a gift shop and small hotel. While the families were rebuilding the casinos, the rest of the locals were hard at work erecting an enormous wall around the Strip. When NCR traders and explorers arrived on the scene, they were amazed at the Strip and returned back to
California with tales of opulence and great wealth awaiting travelers.
Eventually, the
NCR military itself arrived and were surprised to find the Strip so well-protected and heavily policed. Though they struck a deal with Mr. House to establish a base in the area (along with control of
Hoover Dam), the NCR has never had control of The Strip. After the
First Battle of Hoover Dam, the NCR negotiated an
military police presence and
embassy on The Strip, but their influence remains small.
Though the tribes that became The Strip’s families were once hatefully opposed to each other, the demands of Mr. House have forced the families to play nice. They continue to hold long-standing grudges, but do not act openly against each other for fear of angering Mr. House.

Benny's not gonna throw his life away for the chip
He already did when he stole the chip. He knew the consequences. There was no going back. All the other tribes fear House, only Benny pulled this shit off, by himself. When you expose him to the other guys in the casino, they help you take him down. There was no going back.
the courier has to be involved somehow
The courier is involved by default, being shot in the head, surviving, hunting Benny, getting the Chip back, he already is or becomes an agent of change in the Mojave, attracting the attention of other factions trying to recruit him.
just fucking call his bluff
Mind > muscle > balls. Not that you would know.
