I don't know how to build laser turrets or Securitrons homie

Yes Man route is easy to pick in game but IRL you'd be insane not to pick Mr. House (unless you already are Mr. House)

House is basically a physical non-entity; he's like a cyborg AI. He's not going to steal ya girl and he gives you run of the manor to frolic in delight while he does all the actual work and counts chips or whatever a casino magnate in cryosleep does all day

Isn't the intro really quick? Intro cutscene, ring a ding ding, Goodsprings black guy for 2m (all skippable iirc). It's worth picking up on PC, the mod scene is really good

I finally downloaded FO4 but idk Bethesda has just put out such slop since Skyrim that it's hard to muster up the enthusiasm

FO4 was trash in comparison, but by intro I meant basically everything until you get to new vegas, I don't need to spend ten hours on things I recall quite well while I make the initial trek

The start of the game is pretty good though. The prison gang escapees, the introduction of the Legion ("degenerates on you belong on a cross"---J.E. Sawyers clever touch imo), sprinting around like mad trying not to get raped by the deathclaws in the quarry. It's all pretty memorable and fun stuff. The early game weapon power scaling is also enjoyable and the fixed enemy scaling makes for some fun unwinnable situations

Yea that's what FO3 was for though

It opens up after you run into Caesar's people iirc. Very deliberate decision to have you in a storyline funnel for the first part and I think the game is much stronger than its contemporaries for it. The focus and pacing adds to the sense of progression

Yes Man was too easy to encounter. He should've shown up only after a delay following failure of Mr. House, the NCR and the Legion

Apparently Obsidian ended up cutting a bunch of stuff from the Benny subplot mid-development and I guess the Yes Man thing would've made more sense in that context

Yes Man is the mechanism by which you can't fail. So to unlock, you should be required to make progression toward the Mr. House, NCR and Legion endings all impossible.

but you never fail at fallout, you just reload, if you want hard settings go for it but you're still just reloading when you die

It's not about being hard or reloading, dummy.

Imagine you can't reload. There are actions you can take in game that make it impossible to get the Mr. House, NCR or Legion endings. Again, without reloading. Assume you can't reload.

There is no action that you can take in game (other than triggering a bug, I guess) that makes it impossible to get the Yes Man ending. Because of that, the Yes Man ending track shouldn't be so easy to find. The whole purpose of it is to make sure that people who stick with their choices and don't reload can still always finish the game.

the whole point is to just give you another choice, if you didn't have it you would always just take one of the others and that would be that, you'd have to be an enormous asshole to purposefully fail all faction quests just to see

The game needed a BoS ending imo but I get why they didn't go with it thematically/lorewise

The Bethesda BoS interpretation was extremely lazy and stupid compared to the xenophobic AdMech techgrubbing paladin Jews that Black Isle originally had them as. Having the correct writing for them back in FNV made me pine for Black Isle's entries to the series

Neither here nor there but as good of a place to plug them as any

The cancelled isometric fallout 2 sequel (before Bethesda bought out the IP) "Van Buren" has all of its design documents online and perusable. There's some interesting stuff in there---really kooky worldbuilding, especially if you liked Old World Blues in FNV (my personal favorite)
