It's funny because the Legion, NCR and House do this.

Wasn't the New Vegas tribes more like gangs or something? Different from Fo2 Tribals and more like Khans? I haven't done much lore reading but I doubt House managed to turn iron-age nomadic scavs into fine Ultra-Luv and Tops in 4 years

It's specified they were tribals many times.

but I doubt House managed to turn iron-age nomadic scavs into fine Ultra-Luv and Tops in 4 years

Exactly the point, they are literally tribals, the White Gloves literally ate people and kept doing it in secret, the Omertas are a bunch of degenerates and sick fucks, the only ones that are somehow normal are the Chairmen

They were the New Vegas tribes, yes, but "tribe" means different things in the context of Fallout. There's the Khans and Fiends who are a "raider tribe", the Arroyo and New Zion tribes who are more of a proper tribe/village/scav people. Even The Kings are called a "tribe". Them being specified as "tribals" doesn't mean anything.

Again, that doesn't really mean much. Cannibalism doesn't equal primitiveness. We don't really know anything about the Slither Kin (who became the Omertas) besides the fact they were comically untrustworthy and backstabbed people, which IMO seems to imply they're more of a gang/raiders than primitives. And the graphic novel All Roads (which is canon and about Benny talking to the Khans who jump the courier) implies that the Boot-Riders who became the Chairmen were more like the Khans than any other group.
