AFallout: New Vegasfan brought a figure of the iconic Yes Man character from the game to the Hoover Dam in order to blend theFalloutuniverse with real life, and the photo encapsulating the moment has gone viral.Fallout: New Vegaswas released way back in 2010, but it maintains a dedicated following today because of the many factions, locations, and different features in the Obsidian Entertainment spin-off released betweenFallout 3and4.
Expressing their passion forFallout: New Vegas, Reddit user Tunnelsnakefool shared an image of their Yes Man figure standing on a ledge near the Hoover Dam, showing theimportantFalloutlocationfrom an optimal angle. The Yes Man is introduced early on inFallout: New Vegasand it shares some similarities with other Securitrons but acts as Benny’s AI servant, unlike the other bots. Given his pleasant face and usually happy demeanor,Fallout: New Vegasfans have gravitated toward the unique PDQ-88b compared to the other Securitron units, and Tunnelsnakefool is no different as they own a Yes Man figure that stands at just over a foot tall.

Tunnelsnakefool’sFallout: New Vegas-inspired photo shows the dry and rocky Nevadan landscape, the impressive Hoover Dam power plant and the Lake Mead reservoir looming in the background while the smiling Yes Man rests on a nearby ledge. TheFallout: New Vegasfan noted this viewpoint of the Hoover Dam as the optimal location for such an image because of how the angle highlights the monument, specifying that it’s accessible from the side belonging to theCaesar’s Legion factionin the game. According to Tunnelsnakefool, the Yes Man figure in the photo was made by a friend of theirs, and it uses magnets in the face so that theFallout: New Vegasfan can replace the Yes Man display with other Securitrons like Muggy, Victor, or others.
The Yes Man is just one of severalFallout: New VegasNPCs that would feel right at home near the Hoover Dam, with the Legion and NCR factions playing a pivotal role at the in-game location. Although the Hoover Dam inFallout: New Vegasis called the Old World Wall, and it fittingly looks more damaged in-game, Tunnelsnakefool’s photo is a glimpse at how Yes Man would look in a restored dam. Perhaps because someFalloutfans still praiseNew Vegasas the greatest title in the series,Obsidian founder Feargus Urquharthas teased working on anotherFallouttitle since Xbox’s acquisition of Bethesda’s parent company ZeniMax Media.
Though many fans responding to Tunnelsnakefool’s photo from the Hoover Dam have expressed enthusiasm for the creativity, one player stated that the scenery was so perfect that it looked like a screenshot fromFallout: New Vegaswith modsactivated. Another fan noted that theFallout: New Vegaswater levels in the same location are much higher than in real life due to an ongoing drought, while one pointed out that the reservoir is at least not irradiated.
Fallout: New Vegasis available now for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
