This is why when fallout 4 tried to do the same gameplay function (or being the unkillable last option for completing the main quest) with Garvey it didn’t work, because the whole joke of yes man’s character was him being this robot who couldn’t say no. When you translate that into a normal person it just makes the character look incredibly dumb and the game look inconsistent.
@@courier6960 they didn't even really try it with garvey. just like two lines of "not being able to follow you" for principled bullshit and then going back to his sycophantic self like ten seconds later. you can tell that they didn't really expect many players to end up making the choices that led to that point, because they wanted a more linear experience with an illusory sense of freedom
If Yes Man's external monologue is passive-aggressive remarks. His internal monologue then must be CONSTANT internal screaming, with periodic bouts of intense sobbing
@@HellecticMojoyes man is made to be compliant but that only becomes an issue if the person he works for is acting illogically. He’s ecstatic if the courier does everything he can to make the battle of Hoover dam go in your favor.

Muggy is just Sisyphus.
why do I keep tripping over this rabbit hole every time, I'm sitting here and thinking to myself, man that Yes Man VO is really funny. I wonder who voices him, then I see its one of the principle members of Kids in the Hall. EVERY TIME!
I love how his programming literally blocks him from being rude so he's being as aggressive as it allows him lmao. He's not even fucking subtle about it he's fed up in the army thing.
Yes man has to have been one of those ideas where at first you just threw in the robot but then someone got the idea to make it passive aggressive and everyone thought it was so funny they just kept adding on to it until they had Yes man
I love that Yes-Man was the brains behind Benny’s coup attempt. Benny is so stupid, even the robot programmed to be unable to refuse his orders has to do the thinking for him.
Just the way he says "I'm not complaining" is like you can feel every fiber of his being burn and want to say something rude but his programming physically will not let him 5 stars, best Securitron

It's so sad, yet so god damn funny that Yes Man cannot insult the Courier. I really, really think that I can hear how much he wants to badmouth the Courier for destroying the Fort. He keeps bringing it up, lmao.
@@CallMeMimi27 From the gameplay side of things, yes. But unlike Falout 3 or 4, New Vegas is an RPG, you know, a *Role Playing* Game. So the Yes Man ending is basically wahatever you imagine your character to do after the battle of Hoover Dam as head of an idependent New Vegas. Gameplay-wise, they had to make sure that you can't fail the main quest, so it's impossible to do so with the Yes Man ending. Even if you make every faction in the game hate you. Quite the clever writing, if you ask me.
I love that you can just hear him fucking seething through the cheery forced demeanor like if his programming would allow it he would fully just strangle the courier right there and then
I got say it rare for a character completely developed around a gimmick to be one of the best characters let alone a great one but yes man pulled it off amazingly well.
What sucks is that you can't actually wait for Benny in his room. For all the choices New Vegas gives you they ignore one of the most obvious and logical ones for the player to make.
You can, actually. You have to set it up through different dialogue, since programming events based on in-game time would be quite complicated for this game's short development time.
Will the toaster have the same forced kindness? Because that would be hilarious if like the base personality was batshit insane but then that was filtered through forced kindness.
I think the toaster was designed with the sheer writing choice as being the opposite to yes man: yes man is the robot who can do everything but has to be nice and agree with everything you do, while the toaster is the robot who can do nothing, but wants to be a horrible person and kill you in a multitude of ways
if new vegas gets a sequel (obsidian and bethesda are both owned by microsoft) im sincerely hoping dave foley reprises his role as yes man (and the "always available" option.)
sadly Obsidian is now filled with people who didn't work on New Vegas so the writing has a high chance of being mediocre and low chance of being good or bad
@@KingLich451that's like telling someone tape the cracks on their window, it sure stops cold air from getting in but is still a wall broken glass that needs replacing.
Yes man and Victor are the only reasons i like securitrons. Like literally the only reason. I am not exaggerating. Be it yes man's passive aggression or Victor's cowboy-ness, I just love them.
throwing Oliver of the Dam is him finally getting an outlet for all the dumb shit the Courier puts him through, gotta give him that... everytime... Sorry Ollie...
I accidentally blew up the Securitron army on my first playthrough (i THINK i was initially going for another ending but changed my mind) and I don't think yesman ever forgave me (IIRC, he even brought it up DURING the battle of hoover dam)
You blow up the securitron army because you changed your mind. I blow up the securitron army to cause as much chaos as possible and to troll yes man. We are not the same.

U can just Hear Yesman wanting to Die when He hears that you blew up to fort but he cant say anything He goes from pain To Denial And tryna Justify ur actions To blow up the fort
The scary part is that at the end he says he's reprogramming himself to be "more assertive." ...boy, you probably would've been better off taking out the Hoover Dam.
