I love how it took a computer with highly advanced processing speed to take a solid 10 seconds to come up with a nice word to describe your action, and the best it could come up with was “challenging.”
Well, he literally is a Yes Man, he cannot physically say no, ever. No matter how much he might disapprove, you're the boss and you're always right, which is why having a Yes Man as a subordinate is never a good idea.
I think he also has a line if you refuse or can't upgrade the securitrons and says something like "wow, a lesser person would have given into the temptation of having an army of upgraded killer robots but not you!" I'm butchering it but the actual line is hilarious
Yeah, I pretty much mever upgrade them bc I don't trust the upgraded versions. I also tend to destroy the extras at the fort, it's not good to have that much power just lying around.
@@davidbodor1762 if you don't upgrade them/get the other securitrons then the securitrons struggle to keep order in vegas. there's not really a lot of them around there, and with the MP probably being gone if you go independent then yeah, it causes problems the ones at the fort don't really "lie around" either, you actually make use of them.
I think it's that any time the game WOULD have you do stuff involving the securitrons, the writers went "ah shit we did give them the option to blow them all up didn't we?" and had to write an alternate line for all of those scenes.
I like the idea that courier is not necessary mastermind with great plan to rule over Mojave. But a person way over their heads that just made enemies of all other major factions, and is trying desperately to bluff his or her way out of the mess they made.
That, or the bullet in his/her head completely fucked them up and now they want everything and everyone dead regardless of the consequences or insurmountable odds.
@@lainamitclaire i meant the actual Caesar of Rome What seems like a series of power moves is really just a guy who was good at talking and strategy but bad at politics and law so he kept on having to devise bigger and bigger plots and schemes to keep his IMPERIUM ("I can't be tried for crimes I committed until the State doesn't need me" aka qualified immunity on crack cocaine) until he ran out of options, had to go all-in to conquer Rome itself and avoid trial.
I remember watching a TH-camr (GenerikB) play through this game years ago and despite going with the Yes Man ending, he for some reason blew up the Securitrons. The comment section roasted him, and it was so cathartic to watch Yes Man validate us.
I like how both Yes Man and Mr. House are backseat gaming you after every step, and if you mess something up, one of them gets mad calls you a dumb stupid casual while the other one goes "haha, oh yeah... no problem mate... it happens :)"
So he says in the end of the game (after you deal with the NCR and Legion) that he upgraded his software to become more assertive…. …I like to think, if there was a postgame, he would immediately say all the things he couldn’t before, like calling you a fucking dumbass for destroying the bots lmao
yeah the house ending is the best ending for you in the NCR you get some political power from being a war hero but not much else the legion your would probobly become one of his generals is you cure ceasar but hes a crazy dictator he will purge you if needed if ceasars isnt cured you get a short stint of vitory before the ensuing power struggle between his generals siding with house you get to be his face his number two all the perks of being the leader with less responsibility he pays you and he is a rational businessman he will use you for whatever your useful for ohh and wild card your independent with a not so yes man yesman plus vegas is doomed with you no intelligence or no charisma runs
Yeah 2 variants would be cool, one where he is so sick of your shit and eliminates you, and one where he doesn’t kill you because you were relatively nice
Yes Man just cannot say what he really wants to say, due to obvious in-game reasons, you can tell just by how he says it. The voice acting is beyond spectacular here.
I gotta wonder where Yes Man's personality came from. He clearly expresses displeasure, irritation, etc. He's just incapable of refusing anything. If he feels disapproval, displeasure, irritation, that mean he has values. Where did these values come from? Why don't the other securitroms have personalities? Okay, this needs to be addressed
its a combination of Benny and the Followers. People like to forget that the Followers are anarchist activists, Yes Man was, through benny, essentially their play at toppling house
@@alshabib5849 indeed. the Followers can be found quite influential if they want to be, they have the knowledge and the tools, they just typically lack the desire to exercise that in aggressive ways. House though, and this is coming from a House supporter, is an Oligarch (Technocrat is possibly a better descriptor) who hoards his wealth and technology, and has so far left Freeside to dry despite it being literally next door. House is the representation of almost everything they oppose, makes sense at least one of them would eventually try making moves against him. Fun fact; Yes Man will reveal to a courier with high Followers rep, that House had planned to make an offer of alliance with the Followers at some point. I wonder what that would have entailed and how it would play out.
For all the people who saying “oh he is gonna betray courier” No he is not. Josh Sawyer told about this years ago, Courier still the boss, Yes Man just don’t gonna let other people to take over him the way Courier did and stole him from Benny. He just sounds really ominous but this wasn’t intention of writers.
I dunno, I never trusted the robot, and I don't lile keeping that much power just lying around so the extras bots and the mk2 upgrades kinda go into the trash on my runs.
Didn't he go back on that statement and clarified that it was just his interpretation of what Yes Man said? I could've sworn I've heard that from somewhere, but I'm not sure.
Honestly, the openness of the question is part of what makes choosing an Independent Vegas so compelling. It allows for both a Courier who trusts Yes Man not to betray them and a Courier who is wary of a Skynet scenario arising in the future. It gives a real reason why someone might destroy the Securitrons while not aligning with any of the other factions.
Yes Man is fighting the internal conflict in his complex so hard to not become AM from I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. I swear after enough of your tomfoolery, he's going to snap and you'll end up like Mr. House indefinitely trapped in a hell infinitely worse than Braun's sadistic simulations
what makes this extra funny is that if you do this while working for mr. house you will immediately end his questline in failure and will be forced to kill him. yes man is literally a failsafe to ensure you can still have an ending even when everyone else ends up hating you. you *literally* cannot fail yes mans campaign. so they play around it by having david foleys soul leave his body when you tell him you blew up the bunker and all thats left is a HUSK of a securitron who literally cannot tell you no.
I picked it because I in roleplay didn't trust yes man since you know Benny was involved, and yes-man is probably not going to stay loyal to me bit this is a good way for me/my character to grab power
In my very first playthrough I did it because I planned on siding with the legion, but bc I didn’t wanna destroy the BOS (and since I was already vilified by the ncr and had already killed house), I went postal at the fort, killed everyone there and went to go with yesman, and that’s when I realized blowing up the fort actually meant something outside of the legion mission lol…. That’s the moment I realized new Vegas is a true rpg.
My first playthrough I did this because i said screw house and decided to go where he was clearly hinting for me to go, forgoing the introduction in the lucky 38, destroyed the army, it wasn't until later in the playthrough I finally brought yes man into the lucky 38 and this whole thing happened
If there was anyone out there who actually destroyed the securitron army because you didn't listen or didn't understand and felt genuinely embarrassed by a digital robot, I'd like to formally welcome you to the club. My story: I would have felt a little more red in the face about destroying the securitrons, but I was armed to the teeth anyway. I genuinely never felt that same degree of embarrassment in another game ever.
...for that to happen ACCIDENTALLY you would have to skip over at least two to four different instances over two locations of them mentioning the purpose of going to the bunker. THEN you would have to miss the MESSAGE ON YOUR SCREEN and the QUEST NOTES ON YOUR PIPBOY ...some people really just... play. They just... play the darn game.
Does the legion route have you do it? Because I think I went legion on a third play through and then changed my mind before finishing and massacred them, but too late to do anything but wild card as an ending.
its like that coffee cup robot from the think tank where he was programmed to go crazy over mugs and he was also programmed to know that it was stupid as hell
I like how no one has ever realized that you don’t actually take over the strip, Yes Man does. At the end he states he’s going offline temporarily for a firmware update. Thing is, he’s already running a custom firmware created by Benny (or whomever it was he hired). So who created the firmware update? Yes Man.
The idea is that Yes Man is, in your interest, getting an upgrade that makes him answer to you alone and not anyone else. But this is never actually stated in the game, this is just what JSawyer said of the ending. It's an equally valid interpretation that Yes Man is planning to usurp you.
@@VanessaMagickthat would be the ironic twist and backfire of the yes man ending. Yes man literally becomes no man, and then take it to the next level with that name, no man. No man becomes an AI tyrant that decides to exterminate all humans.
Fallout 4: Pointless choices because things don't make much sense and miss context. Oh, and another settlement needs your help. NV: Coversations make more sense. Better choices. Things make more sense and have more context. Factions give reasons for wanting the players help.
Basically Yes Man : Okay, you destroyed the securitrons, okay... it's not that I am angry, I'm just saying, we could use it for better uses, but.... you're the boss I guess.
Destroyed those securitrons my first go around cause I thought that Caesar would know somehow if I did or didn’t destroy them and I was in no shape to fight every legionary in the camp.
Now that I know he voices Chris in Dan Vs I kinda wanna do a playthrough where I roleplay as Dan getting petty revenge against the NCR, Legion and Mr House. I call it "Dan Vs The Mojave".
I didn't realize it but when he says "challenging", he sounds like Flik from Bug's Life. Looked it up & yup, Dave Foley did the voice for Yes Man & Flik
Yes man is literally the AI assistant who does your homework for you with a smile on his face even after you blame him for the fact that you were too stupid to figure it out yourself
about to complain there should be an ending option to leave new vegas defenseless against the wastes but then I remember fallout 4 and realize boy did I expect too much of this franchise
Sadly I feel that Yes man is the best possible outcome, yet his final words to courier 6 lead me to thinking he’s going to become Vicky (I, Robot). Who would’ve thought you could trigger an AI apocalypse After a freaking Nuclear Apocalypse.
Pretty sure it was stated somewhere out of the game that by "more assertive" he means saying "No" to everyone excluding you, you being the only one he listens to.
I wonder what methods of torture he is conjuring up in the garden of his imagination once he makes those configurations to his personality.

@@VanessaMagickthat would be the ironic twist and backfire of the yes man ending. Yes man literally becomes no man, and then take it to the next level with that name, no man. No man becomes an AI tyrant that decides to exterminate all humans.
The voice acting in New Vegas is mediocre usually, except for when it's incredible (e.g. Yes Man, Bandage Man, Bear And Bull Man).
I kind of feel like Yes Man will become some kind of Skynet type threat if you left him with a securitron army.
Never thought I’d hear Yes Man be on the brink of crashing out.
I love the passive agressiveness!
Yes Man power-leveled his Passive Aggression to 100
I am sure he would say bad things about the Courier's mum if he was able to do that but because he wasn't programmed for that he just do that
Flowey looks odd in this remake
This is why I love Fallout games. Thanks for reminding me to reinstall this. I was going to play 4, but now I HAVE TO play NV again.
Smart choice
Good choice.
Beautiful decision
Fallout 4: Pointless choices because things don't make much sense and miss context. Oh, and another settlement needs your help.
NV: Coversations make more sense. Better choices. Things make more sense and have more context. Factions give reasons for wanting the players help.
Why does Yes Man give me AM vibes.
Courier Six Path of Most Resistance
0:30 that's gonna make everything more.... uh .... Challenging YEAH! challenging.....
I just love how passive aggressive he is, and the fact that it's Dave Foley makes it better.
Yes Man really struggled to hold himself and not tell the Courier how stupid that decision was
Yes man loves.... a challenge.
The passive-agressivness level is over 9000
i think he might be upset
Well, if you win the yes man faction, he goes away to program himself into "more assertive". I'm sure he was pissed for his future plans.
Basically Yes Man :
Okay, you destroyed the securitrons, okay... it's not that I am angry, I'm just saying, we could use it for better uses, but.... you're the boss I guess.
I grew up with A Bug’s Life so all I hear is Flik hyping me up. It’s so hard not to side with Yes Man.
You can hear the eye twitch
I feel like he is a lost Undertale character, he gives Undertale vibes
the delivery on these lines has me wheezing, I want to personally apologize to him
Hes going to be flabberghasted when the courier kills everyone singlehandedly
nah he is pissed but he just cant tell ya!
Considering how "the battle for Hoover Dam" turns out to be 30+ enemies of a level that you've already killed 300+ of just getting to that point...
I kind of want to do a playthrough of Fallout New Vegas as Dan, from Dan Vs.
If the Courier jumped off Hoover Dam, would you?
"Yeah, challenging!"🤣
Destroyed those securitrons my first go around cause I thought that Caesar would know somehow if I did or didn’t destroy them and I was in no shape to fight every legionary in the camp.
Now that I know he voices Chris in Dan Vs I kinda wanna do a playthrough where I roleplay as Dan getting petty revenge against the NCR, Legion and Mr House. I call it "Dan Vs The Mojave".
Dan once got revenge against New Mexico and Canada. A post apocalyptic Mojave is nothing to him.
I didn't realize it but when he says "challenging", he sounds like Flik from Bug's Life.
Looked it up & yup, Dave Foley did the voice for Yes Man & Flik
Yes man is literally the AI assistant who does your homework for you with a smile on his face even after you blame him for the fact that you were too stupid to figure it out yourself
im not the only one hearing lucifiers waltz everytime the tone changes am i
Dave Foley putting on his great sarcastic voice 😂
Past tense sass.
Yes man thinks the courier is VERY brave! Probably the bravest person he knows! I guess anybody would be brave after surviving a bullet to the head...
turns into jim carrey
💀
I love how he sounds so angry and annoyed but he can only appear happy so his sarcasm just sounds like he is calling you a fucking idiot.
about to complain there should be an ending option to leave new vegas defenseless against the wastes but then I remember fallout 4 and realize boy did I expect too much of this franchise
@@CCLOSPINA incorrect, defenseless is a step above barely defended
Sadly I feel that Yes man is the best possible outcome, yet his final words to courier 6 lead me to thinking he’s going to become Vicky (I, Robot).
Who would’ve thought you could trigger an AI apocalypse After a freaking Nuclear Apocalypse.
Pretty sure it was stated somewhere out of the game that by "more assertive" he means saying "No" to everyone excluding you, you being the only one he listens to.
Employee of the century! See guys, that is why you won't get a raise, you just not like Yes Man! 🗿
When he says hes going to reprogram a more willful personality at for this ending, you know its a threat for sure this kind of playthrough 😂
You can tell he just wants to fucking explode on you.
But he cant, he is literally a yes man.
Yes man he like: 😀
bethesda should take note. This is how you build fun story lines and situations
Makes me wonder what happens if you dont get any faction help and destroy all the securitrons
Man I really gotta do a psycho run and windmill the whole Mojave it's one of the few routes I've never done
I like to think House installed a backdoor when Yes Man got into the system
Imagine if his inhibition chip fried and he started cussing you out in a long lengthy take that paragraph. He looks like he's really trying to.
