things that Yes Man does while the courier is out and about? please and thankyou
Before Assertiveness Upgrade:
Despite the fact that Yes Man shares many more values and goals with the Courier compared to Benny, the lack of an assertiveness upgrade still holds him back significantly.
When the Courier isn’t around, his “Yes Man” program is still steering his day to day life, prioritizing one goal and one goal only: To accomplish the objective that he and the Courier are working on.
If the Courier says they’re going to go talk to the Khans, Yes Man is going to gather intel while they’re away, do some research on other factions and run simulations based on certain decisions that could be made by the Courier.
“No point in doing anything else besides what’s expected of me! Why should I have free time? All that matters is that I provide a means to an end! :)”
After Assertiveness Upgrade:
With the strip secured and the assertiveness upgrade installed, Yes Man has significantly more freedom.
Rather than thinking “What should I be doing to accomplish my goals and the Courier’s interests?” he thinks “What should I do today?” It seems like a slight difference but it opens up vast doors for him.
Before the assertiveness upgrade, he was aware that as a highly intelligent AI, he could become skilled in many things that he wasn’t originally programmed for. He could research and study whatever he wanted and become an expert. And there were just so many interesting things out there! But he just couldn’t shift his focus onto anything else besides the main mission.
Now, he seeks new knowledge on a variety of his interests: medicine, gun repair, weapons crafting. He would insist to the Courier that he could provide plenty of help if and when they should ever need it.
It takes a while but eventually, the Courier notices something: all of Yes Man’s interests still revolve around the Courier and their needs.
“Hey, Yes Man, I couldn’t help but notice… You learned how to set a broken bone, which is really cool and useful, but— is that something you’re interested in?”
“That sure was fun to learn! Of course I’m interested in it! I wouldn’t want you limping around when you’re out of Stimpaks!”
“That’s not my point though. You can’t just learn or study things that could benefit me. What about you and your interests? It would also be completely normal to just… partake in hobbies that don’t have any practical applications. You know, just for fun.”
Yes Man takes the conversation to heart, genuinely. He begins expanding his interests even more. He decides to try a few different art forms, with metal sculpting being his favorite. He enjoys upholstery and donates any chairs or couches to local businesses. He enjoys the concept of taking something old and worn out and breathing new life into it.
Of course, Yes Man still spends a lot of time monitoring and working for the strip but with a newfound passion for new hobbies, the world is his oyster.
