Yes Man's existence is completely retarded. He spells out everything you can do like a walkthrough, and if you want to do any of that you have to tell him so the game will "allow you" to do so.
Why can't I just kill Mr. House, get to his computer and use my Int 10/Science 100 to do the same? Or say fuck you to the world, kill Mr. House and blow all the secury-trons, leaving everyone without it ? Or even just beat the game without fighting on that goddamn dam? I really don't care about it, NCR or Legion.
Pretty much this.AoD, in certain situations.

"Yes, Man" is there to allow players who blew their bridges with all the factions an opportunity to finish the game. That's why he's so obvious in everything he says and does.'
As for the OP, I'm surprised nobody mentioned Planescape: Torment. While there is no single decisive moment, there are plenty of opportunities for those of Evil Alignment to betray people, including pretty much every single companion and most of the factions at one point or another.
The anarchist faction is a bit funny because it has a double or triple cross, can't recall offhand, and it's the only faction doesn't prevent you from joining others (mechanically ingenious that). You're also not the only one double crossing there...As for the OP, I'm surprised nobody mentioned Planescape: Torment.

In terms of changing the outcome of the main quest, I can think of the following:
KOTOR - you can turn on the Republic if you wish to
Fallout: New Vegas - you can turn on Mr. House
Jade Empire - you can turn on the Water Dragon
Alpha Protocol - lots of different ways to turn against AP and the people you had been working with
There must be more but those are the ones that immediately spring to mind.
But beware of the consequences of such an act.Skyrim, oddly enough.
You can defect to the other side of the civil war early on, after you get Jagged Crown.
