He also knows he's dogshit in a fight

The joys of being an computer i suppose

He could just open the security door and send out the sentry bots and protectrons

@@docsorrows1088 But he would never do that for the exact same reasons why he didn’t do that to the omertas

And that's why the house always wins... well atleast until a glorified mailman comes past with lead in his head >_

That's why he's a fink

I heard that he was partially based on Bugsy Siegel a gangster that was killed for his lack of loyalty (aka not paying his off his loans)

He reminds me of Dimitri Rascalov, who constantly betrays anyone who he's been in contact with since he cares so much about survival of the fittest.

Literally House says he woulda made Benny his protege, he wouldn't even have needed to betray House to take control of the Strip

The cut content really would have hammered that point home too: Even if you had freed him, he still can't comprehend being a partner in a greater scheme....

Bruh moment

Is that actual canon or just assumed because his character model can't change?

@@BlakeFerret Its in the canon, Caesar himself states that's the one reason why they caught him.

Vanity

9:30 I think game always strongly implied that Yes-Man ending is an anarchist ending. Especially negative karma version, it basically say's: "Courier is a giant dick and he wants to see world burn".

And how would Benny know of the brain tumor? Really coping here.

@@dont259 i dont think the comment said he knew about the tumor

@@momino9024 It's definitely an Anarchistic ending to things. How badly and what form it takes however are up to the player's choices and morality. Another factor in play is Yes Man becoming more assertive can be interpreted to mean more independent and perhaps dictatorial. It has more ambiguity then the other endings which makes sense it's literally called the Wild Card questline and No Gods No Masters ending. But it also has just as much room to degrade or improve as the other three endings. We see both the pros and cons of Mr House and NCR endings. Then the Legion has two forms of oppression to choose from and whether or not they'll actually be able to take the West. The Brotherhood has multiple fates within the region and without. The whole point is seemingly to leave the player with multiple interpretations and keep some mystery alive. Anyways even in worst case scenario of full scale anarchy of the entire Mojave area being fragmented and conflict rising...I have to ask is that inherently wrong? That seems to be the Natural state of the Wasteland. The series provides multiple examples of Humanity trying to build civilization only to make things worse not better. The entire reason the Wasteland even exists is the end result and radical extremism of the American Way of Life. Capitalism and Hierarchy that Mr House and the NCR support...Failed. Communism and Totalitarianism that the Legion has...Failed. Anarchy or Machine Rule might in fact be the legitimate progression of the Fallout world. It's something to consider at least.

If Mr House already knew that Benny was plotting against them I couldn't imagine a better time for him to think that Benny would make his move then during the chaos of the second Battle of Hoover dam no way it would work at least not smoothly

what?

Yeah the courier could’ve done Benny’s dirty work for him just like how the courier does everyone else’s dirty work.

@@wt4629 A "Courier helps Benny become king" ending would have been funny

@@Reipilled29 if you play as a female character you can have sex with Benny. The original comment is saying that he could've used the Courier to get into the fort with her Mark of Caesar which allowed the Courier free access coming and going to the fort AND free walking around. As the video points out until you get to the rank of Frumentarii (or however you.spell it) you're pretty much under other officers and don't really get too much freedom of movement. But even they have to answer to the boss and the Legates like Lannius

@@Reipilled29 , There is the possibility of forgiving Benny, it leads to the same 'captured by Caesar' outcome. Once more showing that the character of Benny will never form alliances, and that is what kills him.

From where you're kneeling, it looks like you've hit an 18 karat streak of bad luck. Truth is the game was rigged from the start.

I'm more sad about the actual cut line: "Hey Benny, special delivery! "

@Vermouth True lol

Next time he should aim for the middle though

he hit what he was aiming for, next time he should have brought a better caliber

My favorite gunfighter quote is "keep shooting until the target changes shape or catches fire." This mostly refers to fighter planes and tanks, but it still applies. It highlights the idea that even if you hit your target, it doesn't mean they're dead. But to be fair, Benny wasn't counting on a rogue robot scooping the couriers body out of the grave and taking them to the nearby doctor who just so happens to be a competent brain surgeon.

Hey may not have killed people the same way the Khans did... but he was still a fink

The Cut Content wasn't really much, the files are still in the game. It was basicly just a karma ambush from Fallout 3, but with Benny and some hitmen, and he says something like "You ruined everything you fink bastard!"

*Get rid of that ol' Finky Ass haircut

And get into the Lucky 38 which he couldn't do.

Or wear a helmet

Or wear wig.

I mean even if he did cut his hair, no one is allowed in. The weather monitoring station so I doubt he could've snuck in

He probably would have used the cover of the Battle of Hoover Dam as a chance to strike at the camp using mercenaries. Once they and House were both dealt with there might have been a slim chance Benny could have at least gained control of the Securitrons. Its just hard to imagine him holding control for long.

@@GamingKeenBeaner I don’t know what mercenaries Benny could trust? Fiends Vipers Powder Gangers? The Khans won’t work with him again. Benny didn’t even tell any of the other Chairmen about his plan. Trying to infiltrate the Camp, in a Legionary disguise with the platinum chip up his butt, after Yes-Man had been installed, and the El Dorado substation rerouted, while the 2nd Battle of Hoover Dam is going on, probably would have been Benny’s best chance. Soooooo many what if’s there i just doubt Benny could have pulled it off…

@@chrisamon4551 He definitely would have had a hard time putting a crew together for sure. Benny doesn't have the personality of a real leader

Umm he was also digging in the wrong direction lmao...if you use the free camera you can get down to his tunnel totally going the opposite direction...dumb unfortunate Benny

@@jamatth52 huh! I didn’t know that! The poor fool…

Things would have gone smooth, like smooth little babies...

He'd still need to somehow take out Mr. House. We really have no way of knowing how he'd do that. The doors never open for anyone into the Lucky 38 till the player shows up.

Benny isn't strong enough to take out House's internal security. It would be even worse if he upgraded the securitron army. He'd have to go in with dozens of pulse grenades to stand a remote chance.

IDK, as pointed out in the video, the two biggest hurdles were the Securitron upgrades and House himself, I dont know what his "perfect" timetable would have been, but I still cant see him completing the latter, and even then, the former would still go wrong, as mentioned in the video. Benny's biggest problem was that he was to confident in his plan, a plan that sounded workable, but required far more skill, guile, and subterfuge... and perhaps quite a bit of luck... then what he had.

@@Dhips. it stands to reason, that if the player doesn't exist/show up, House would still want a man on the outside, and without the player around, Benny fits into that niche

He doesn't necessarily die though

@@overlord5186 But his gamble never goes off the way he hoped for, not even CLOSE to success.

Not yet at least.

You just haven't gotten that far yet.

Try not paying them

No theyll just throw you In a cell to rot if you don't pay them or shoot you if you try to resist.

If he was gay the story would have gone differently too

If he had gunrunner's arsenal installed it would've gone differently as well

I'm laughing at the idea of Doc Mitchell stitching together a horrific meat man, stuffing it in his old vault suit, and shoving it out the door to go meet the locals.

-What's your name, sweetheart? -Chip. -Chip, how are you doing Chip? -Alright...

Hmm.. Yeah but even if house went for that, I would bet he would have benny searched for any weapon he might carry. And he would have a Ton of securitrons on site. So even if benny got in. I doubt he would be able to really get to house

Dude his plan is literally falling apart when you show up without courier intervention House is a Deadman counting down the days till the Legion or NCR forced their way into the Lucky 38

@@terribleduelist4433 but that's just it. He has a plan for the future. More than can be said for anyone else. Also I can tell you've never done a house playthrough because house specifically states that he provides the balance of power and that if the NCR or legion wastes troops attacking him/vegas the other will be able to easily swoop in and finish the other so what u described really wouldn't happen unless the NCR or legion fully won already in which case house would've been dead already so when you consider that ur argument really falls apart

@@diffsnicker6570 I don't trust a word house says to the player because he only trusts the player because he thinks they're dumber than and easier to manipulate than Benny and he's right

"i could stand all day listening to what these NPCs trying to say" -patrolling the mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

Its hard for me to play New Vegas, Freeside smells like shit.

And also someone who literally survived a bullet to the head

Honestly Benny was pretty damn stupid and narcissistic. I could totally buy that his ego would be big enough to think he actually at a shot at taking out the courier.

It's not rational, but losing everything would make anyone act irrationally even if it's out of jealousy for the Courier's success.

@@mado-wh4jv This is just about the only thing that I can think of to justify it really.

But there's a problem, Mr. House knows, it's a matter of time before he sent a killer squad to return the chip even if he has to kill everyone at the tops.

@@mado-wh4jv Oh absolutely, it would likely not have worked, just pointing out that his 'run to the legion' idea wasn't actually a part of his plan, just a reaction to circumstances.

He also didnt expect being cruxified either.

His defiance and greed sealed his fate.

But not really

@@vandagylon2885 oh yeah it is, there's so many other games that are as old as it that no one even mutters anymore

@@joshuagraham1800 well. The age doesn't really matter.

@@vandagylon2885what was your goal even

If House upgraded his securitrons and released the army of them from the fort, Benny may have felt too afraid to make a move. Even inside the casino, House himself is very well-guarded. His personal securitron guard force is formidable and Benny would have needed a serious attack force to take them down even if he snuck in to the casino itself. Benny isn't much of a leader or a warrior, so getting past all that would be tough. If they were already upgraded it would be even worse.

@@GamingKeenBeaner I should've clarified that I don't think Benny would be successful in assassinating him, I was just saying him upgrading the army was a redundant part of his plan, since House was gonna do it anyways. Either way Benny is an idiot tbh. Even if he were the one to take the chip & upgrade the army, he would still have no control over them even if he somehow miraculously escaped from the fort. He would have to go into hiding from House. Sure, the robot army isn't activated until the battle of hoover dam. (House wants both NCR & Legion to weaken each other first). But the ones on the strip are still upgraded & mean. Realistically I don't see Benny succeeding in anyway. If he doesn't ambush the courier & House gets the chip + the army upgrade, all House has to do is close the Lucky 38 doors forever. If Benny does get through, House just shuts off the elevator power.. If Benny does ambush the courier, he shows his hand to House, & has to somehow sneak past Legion, upgrade the army, then sneak out...but then he still has no control over the army.

There's no indication that Benny knew just what the chip did until after he had obtained it and had Yes Man analyze it.

The reason he ambushed the courier was to get the platinum chip. If Benny doesn’t have the platinum chip, he never gets into the lucky 38.

Actually I forgot about the tunnel that Benny was having dug from the tops to the 38. In which case it IS kind of weird that he went after the chip. He’s too big brained for me

I wish I had both of you guy's voice talents. [And grammar apparently.]

Maybe that's why the White Glove society gave him the heebie jeebies (cannibalism aside). They were a mirror into the dark nature of his own ego, narcissism and arrogance.

Lol same!

Really? That explains a bit.

Whats his charisma?

Lmao that’s the only reason I still play these old games I don’t care how good the story is if it hurts my eyes to look at I’m not going to play it for an extended period of time

@@The_House_Always_Wins New Vegas is beautiful even without mods though

Night and day. Benny was about as oblivious as you can get to the difference and paid the ultimate price for it.

Gun is gun in this case.

2 rounds.

I mean. All the factions in new Vegas are doomed to fail at some point. No nation lasts forever just look at real history

Of course but I feel like New Vegas is gonnafall apart a lot sooner

I mean, Yes Man wasn't intended to give people independence in the region at first, it was intended for Benny to gain access to power for his own benefit.

I think it really depends on the leadership of either House or The Courier. The city and surrounding towns would definitely need to band together with some clear goals and a mobilized militia backing up the Securitron force. Then if they patched up relations with the NCR it would be possible to reopen trade to the West and be seen as an allied trade partner in order to avoid conflict. Expanding East of New Vegas would have a lot of downside for the NCR because its a lot of wasteland on the far side of the Hoover Dam. As long as they're getting economic benefit and Eastward security from New Vegas I think they could make it work. Playing the factions of The Boomers and The Khans correctly could provide them with new core missions and bring them into a strong alliance with New Vegas and thus keeping them and the NCR from getting into it. The Boomers have a lot of pre-war tech on their base that could be used to perhaps even reopen limited trade by airplane. Their artillery systems could be emplaced higher up and in better locations to cover the New Vegas area against invasion. The criminals and pimps would have to get right or get out though. Keeping Freeside and the nearby areas semi-autonomous would allow those who want to live a little more wildly a place to go.

@@GamingKeenBeaner have you played fallout 2? Even if Vegas can temporarily appease NCR their expansionist tendencies will arise again. They will have to be dealt with eventually. Probably nuked ironically enough

That's practically what ends up being made Canon anyways
