[@invalid_user_handle]

@@ダンバダンバ I dunno, according to Yes Man's lines, apparently his system's backed up to the whole securitron network, not locally to the current securitron he's in, so he'd just be downloaded to a different securitron if his current one's destroyed, no matter what happens to it. However those methods of killing him handle processing the enemy as 'dead' must not cooperate with the auto-respawning method the game uses.

[@ダンバダンバ]

@@invalid_user_handle What's weird about this is that why would he need to back himself up during threat then if that were true? Gooing him or lasering him instantly wouldn't be able to give him that chance so therefore he'd just die.

Alternatively, just use a game bug and kill him with a crit on a plasma or laser weapon so that he turns into a pile of goo or ash: the game function which removes Yes-Man's dead body and replaces it with a living clone can't recognize his corpse when it has been transformed into a generic pile of goo or ash, so you'll be softlocked out of the Independent Vegas ending until you go back to a prior save or use console commands to revive Yes-Man.

Time to destroy everu Securitron

[@godai6203]

So I recently found out Dave Foley voiced Yes Man. As a kids in the hall fan I decided to make the “Yes Dave” mod that replaces his screen with photos of Dave Foley. There’s currently three options: Dave from the “Pure Evil” sketch, All-American Boy from Sky High, and Uncle Dave from the Postal Movie

[@NovaBlueNova]

Yes Man has always been my favorite character in the whole game. It's so hard to be mad at him

[@palladios4459]

I bet Yes Man and Norm would be good friends.

"Uh, yeah, theres definitely no way to kill me!" the robot told the person who by all calculations should be dead. "I could only be killed if someone destroyed every securitron and the network that controlled them," the robot continued, to the person who would eventually rule the Mojave. And there's still people in the comments who think that Yes Man can't die, and doesn't want to.

Courier: "Not if the writers have anything to say about it" *Crawls out of the screen and kills the writers, thereby causing a paradox*

And yet, most really, really go for independent for some reason

[@limesandlemons1367]

I mean, it's in the Courier's best interest. Even with House promising to provide them with the same lifespan-lengthening technology he uses, Big MT has that and more.

I love the final frame of long yes man

[@aquietdragon5671]

obviously the true victory here is to convince Yes Man that the uploaded copies of himself are just that, merely copies they are new instances born with an upload of all of that knowledge and killed when deleted or destroyed and that even if a copy of him exists elsewhere, that this copy, this instance, will very certainly die and be no more

[@erubianwarlord8208]

at which point i can see him either A. rolling out the exact securatron he was inhabiting when he set it all up (if it wasnt the one your currently talking to) and bringing it online just to make your revenge experience complete or B. apologizing profusely for his inability to do so and offering the current iteration as a consolation prize

Imo siding with yes man is the best way to doom new vegas. Siding with house seems like the safest option, ncr and caesar will also ruin new vegas in their own way but yes man would revel in it for sure

[@funnyvideohaha5337]

"I'm the courier" "No you aren't" "Yes I am" "Okay I believe you!" Would have expected it to take more than that to convince Yes Man

im pretty sure yes man is literally programed to always agree with whoevers talking to him so probably shouldve only taken 1 try

yes man casually ready to eradicate a random securitron’s conscious to preserve himself. i get he can’t help it but kinda morbid.
