Mr Yesterday's True Identity... | Fallout Lore

At The Sierra Madre we can learn about a mysterious man known only as Mr Yesterday. Yesterday was the manager in charge of the Sierra Madre Villa construction, on the surface he was a likable man full of charisma, a reliable person who Frederick Sinclair, the founder and owner of The Sierra Madre trusted, but that was a mistake. Because Yesterday was in fact a con artist, he had cheated and tricked his way into Sinclair’s circle of trust, and the villa was to be his biggest con yet.

I think it's more likely Domino and Yesterday were longtime friends/partners in crime.(hence the similar speech and mannerisms) One was a con man, the other a singer.

[@thekidsinked3565]

Fun fact Dean Domino is the fallout version of our real world Dean Martin

[@Harpeia]

This vid made me far more emotional than it should have. Since a couple of years ago, I've started having some memory loss issues but, as this video went on, i started remembering absolutely everything about Sierra Madre... and why FoNV is pretty much the best storytelling of that era.

[@el-fantasma21]

Gosh, that must weigh really hard on you, Im sorry to hear it, genuinely. Sure sounds like fate though huh? Ironic a video about "Yesterday" from a dlc about letting go of the past would bring back yours to you. Best of luck to you though, I hope your memory loss gets better or at least not worse 🙏

I know how frustrating memory loss can be. I hope it doesn’t bother you or impact your life too bad

Appreciate the new content regardless of the level of agreeability in certain topics. You're one of the few still bringing fresh thoughts/perspective on these games to the table which has been long surrounded by a stagnant ocean of stale overused talking points.

If Dean Domino isn't Mr. Yesterday, they were at least in cahoots with each other.

I imagine Mr. Yesterday as a Wolf of Wall Street type of guy.

This is insane and I love it. Didn't even realize how much connective tissue there was between the two characters until you laid it all out so plainly. Can't wait to see what you do next.

[@richardsmith5797]

I do enjoy these informative episodes. Not many can find these things in fallout due to everything being done already. Yet you still find the stuff no one has.

[@majinju4803]

I greatly appreciate your dedication and reporting on fallout, you’re one of the few channels that really get into the niche aspects of the fallout universe and each one of your videos is refreshing to watch, and a lot of them are about things I myself didn’t know, even though I’ve been a fan since fallout 3’s release. Please keep doing what you’re doing, your videos keep us fallout fans motivated.

[@cameronburdette8565]

Bro I’ve been falling asleep to your videos every night for the past few weeks. So happy to see the new vids

[@joshboyle9783]

The possible references to Frank Fontaine from Bioshock are blowing my mind. Both Fontaine and Yesterday/Domino are con men, and both reference an ace in the hole when talking to or about the player. They both pretend to be someone else if it is true that Domino was, in fact, Mr yesterday. Both men pretend to care for the working class/poor people, and finally, both men aim to destroy the grand creations of powerful rich men in Andrew Ryan and Frederick Sinclair or just ruin them in general. I think these similarities are just a coincidence. If so I’m fine with that too. Great vid btw.

[@cspeazy6484]

Dean domino is one of the most insufferable characters in the entire series. A narcissistic piece of trash. He’s such a narcissist the only way to keep him alive in the end is to literally let him always think he’s better and smarter than you, if you correct him even one time you can never talk him down when he confronts you he’s the only character in that entire dlc that I am happy to watch die.

[@nrdpc5975]

If I recall correctly, you couldn't even use skill/speech checks in conversations with him.

[@zlostnypopolnik]

I swear, you could find a story even about a loose screw on the shack of Sierra Petrovita.

So glad to have you back making videos

[@chipsdubbo6983]

At first i thought the evidence was a little weak but after that last bit of audio i'm convinced.

[@bocktordaytona5656]

I always assumed due to in game evidence that the villa,s crappy design was intended by sinclair. I mean: he known the "secret" experiments from Big MT and to me the Red mist, the Holographic security and the villa its part of a defence layer mechanism to me: We have in one of the terminals that cars such as the chryslus could not operate inside the villa,s narrow streets, this also means by extension that other vehicles such as tanks or Apc could not work in optimal conditions so an enemy take over its more difficult. Second the villa,s crappy design would make that moving there would be difficult wich would be also make impossible even with NBQ equipment because the cloud melts the things themselves. And actually the mist works as visual concealment from aerial or satellite surveillance, it has a similar color palette to the canyon and sandy rocks in wich is emplaced, and it is in some places extremely dense and also self replicating. What other system we have also in the mojave wich works similarly? We have the artificial storms from the weather machine of the divide wich maybe where made for concealment and also the actual sand storm system of hidden valley wich works with ventilators like the ones of the Sierra madre. To me synclair it's just like house: both created bastions disguised as casinos but employing military grade technology. In the case of house to work as an antennae and anti air tower In the case of synclair as a dead,s hand protocol system to make the Sierra madre look or abandoned or camouflaged. And the crappy construction of the villa works perfectly just for doing that. Sorry in advance for my bad English

[@razvanapostol2611]

The ghost people are long dead. The suits are prototypes from Big MT, as you can get a copy of that suit in the OWB dlc. They are prototypes of the trauma harness suits, I am sure you can find that info in a terminal in OWB. The courier before you, Ulysses, is a frumentari under Caesar, he knows many things as his main job is to spy on the west. So he knows how to look into issues, it wasn't hard for him to piece together that the chip was supposed to be delivered to House. Ulysses didn't take the job because of the history he shared with the main character, and hoped the mojave would get the main character killed, or even the Divide. Fresh apples, pears, carrots and potatoes for example are foods that still grow in the wasteland. Hildern in camp McCarran specifies also oranges/peaches, so many things in the wasteland didn't get mutated (like mutfruit, which looks like mutated berries) and can still be grown. For the lack of apple trees or other fruit gardens, we can look at the caravans as sources that bring the fruits from areas where they grow

[@martiobatch7613]

You can also argue that Sinclair was well aware of Deans activities but chooses to allow him to go on to lure him into his trap he had prepared at the Sierra Madre vault.

[@Scottoest]

A big salute to everyone of the Fallout universe keeping such comprehensive terminal notes about everything they thought and did before the war. Very helpful.

[@lifeisbutamoment]

I really don’t think domino is me yesterday, Mr Yesterday is just a character based on old time casino owners

[@fnord4960]

I enjoyed the video and speculation. That being said, I think it’s unlikely Yesterday is Dean Domino. It’s funnier to think that Sinclair had two equally despicable people working against him. Both who were unaware of each other.

I always thought "Mr. Yesterday" was Dean Domino and that nickname was either a codename or people calling him a has-been. However, like the meaning of "kale watcha nei conserva oh", Mr. Yesterday's true identity is probably meant to be a mystery that only JE Sawyer has the answers to.

Hey a completely unrelated question but one I’ve been trying to get an answer on, from Fallout 1, where are Albert and Natalia’s last names established or become known? On the character selection it only mentions their first names, but their last names seem so openly known and I’m curious where people know their last names from (I haven’t played Fallout 1, to clarify)

My guess would be the vault dwellers survival guide, it has a lot of additonal information the game doesn't, including the playable characters surnames

[@VaciliNikoMavich]

Who knows…that’s the trick of alter-egos or identities ^^

[@HeartThief21]

As an architect, construction fraud is a major problem in the building industry. In the bidding process, contractors bid against one another to see who can build the project to the architects’ specifications for the lowest price to the owner. The owner will usually select the contractor who can build for the lowest cost, but that cost is still set by the contractor. It is then left up to the architect to ensure that the quality of work and materials is still being met during construction while the contractor is incentivized to cut as many corners as they can without getting caught for fraud. Usually all three parties want to provide quality work and fair payment as their reputation is worth more than a quick payout for shoddy work. But sometimes you do see schemers who try to rip off the owners. In the rampantly corrupt capitalist society of Old World Fallout, construction fraud is the default.

[@dendostar5436]

Interesting.

[@tarquilkorris2563]

Hear me out: as a ghoul, Dean Domino has no ears and no nose. How the heck does he wear these shades?

[@Abudzin]

I mean I do like me some unlikely theory from time to time, but this one is just TOO unlikely. I think it is rather apparend that it's just some dudes that happened to be at the same place at the same time, and they both hated Sinclair. It's also not that difficult the have plenty of enemies that try to scam you and ruin you if you're a millionaire.

Dean's face is also plastered around the Sierra Madre. Literally everyone especially Sinclair would know what he looks like. There's also zero supporting evidence for his theory of Dean using a proxy or prosthetic makeup to meet with Sinclair.

​@@D-MaleKingFirst of all, you would have to be a complete moron to not see the resemblance between Clark Kent and Superman. But to have both identities known to Sinclair and he never made the connection...?? Doesn't make sense. Not to mention how many other workers didn't see them both and make the connection.

[@jjsmith4845]

​@@eskmiliothunderbunny21 many social experiments prove that Clark Kent would be a viable cover. Both Christopher Reeves and Henry Cavill did experiments themselves. Dude perfect and corridor digital also run similar experiments. Either way, "complete moron" seems a little harsh, no? It is impossible for someone to not pay attention to people without being a complete moron?

[@eskmiliothunderbunny21]

@@jjsmith4845 So I could understand how the average person might not realize Clark Kent is Superman. But the reporters at the Daily Planet who report on him for a living can't see the difference between them? C'mon that's a pretty well deserved "moron". As for the studies you mentioned I don't know anything about them. I could see average people not recognizing Henry Cavill on the street. But we're talking about the Sierra Madre vs the whole United States. To be a lounge singer and a lead foreman in a small area. Well that's a lot of eyes on you. It's hard for me to believe that someone wouldn't notice the difference between them. Especially when the other workers could exploit him for more money.

In my theory, Dean was blackmailing or persuaded Mr yesterday to embezzle Frederick Sinclair, Dean really wanted Sinclair to have nothing in life, even if Dean robs the casino, it is still a casino will generate money, but with the villa collapsing for If it was poorly built this could lead to a lawsuit for Sinclair, with people getting hurt or dying because of it the whole place would be closed down along with the casino.

[@loganjorgensen]

Yeah you'd think some sort of vendetta behind that but nope just extreme narcissism in action, simply a method to extract money from another. People really need to start recognizing this obvious personality defect and stop letting themselves get robbed lol.
