My first playthrough was independent. When Yes Man said he was going to download more assertive program I genuinely said "Oh god, what have I done..."
Yes Man being assertive...well, maybe it's just going to make it so it can't be tampered with by another party and can actually say no. Maybe it's going to seize power itself (though what a machine would do with power is questionable, I'm more concerned about what program it's downloading, who made it...)
Same here! 1st time through, after that whole chaotic frenzied battle, the dam, Lanius, Oliver, and all, I was so relieved to have won. "Whew, that went pretty well, thanks to my army of KILLER ROBOT TANKS..." and then Yes Man drops that on me! "Wait-- what the-- oh, shlt, a whole army of killer robot ta..."
What a stunner. I just started laughing. :fallout: This game rules in so many ways.
