Ulysses isn't gonna shut up anytime soon, huh? I hate it when characters are written such that they always answer questions with a bunch of pseudo meaningful tripe. --- Time is a funny thing, you know?

I love Lonesome Road. Mostly to get a bunch of money and gear early on, but still! Could live without the tunneler portion, though. Damn little gremlins. --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame ... Copied to Clipboard!

I never liked how that DLC talked about stuff the Courier had done in the past. Like it's supposed to be a role-playing game, I have an idea in my head about who my character is. Now some weirdo is telling me "Oh yeah, you also did this, remember? Remember that?" It's just weird. --- Bosses are immune to the eat command so it won't be possible to end the final boss fight of the game by eating it. -VeghEsther ... Copied to Clipboard!

I dislike the whole Ulysses connection. They kept hinting at him so much through the base game and the other DLCs where you'd be following him and he'd be following you, but all it turned out to be was some preachy author insert who wouldn't stfu. Why care about him at all? It's a rare miss that NV made. MisterPengy posted... I never liked how that DLC talked about stuff the Courier had done in the past.

The dude criticized me for launching a nuke (which the game forced me to do, I might add) at an already devastated, abandoned nuclear hellsite. Oh nooooo, I destroyed a few Marked Men and Tunnelers :( Also it's wild that he castigated me for delivering the Platinum Chip when I'm doing an NCR run this time. I killed House and destroyed the Protectron army underneath the Legion fort, that Platinum Chip didn't hurt anyone but me and Benny. --- Time is a funny thing, you know?

He thinks it was you that made the delivery, but it was actually someone else entirely, and the Courier is just massively confused about what he's talking about the entire time. --- http://i.imgur.com/VeNBg.gif http://i.imgur.com/gd5jC8q.gif http://i.imgur.com/PKIy7.gif http://i.imgur.com/3p29JqP.gif ...

He does kinda suck, seemed like the writers got a little too try hard to be cool and poetic. It's a really strange DLC because it completely shits all over the roleplaying aspect of the game and forces a backstory on a character that was supposed to be a blank slate. Has a lot of cool items tho, so at least it's worth playing. --- The Legend is True! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ulysses does not shut up for a second and his character is about as deep as a teaspoon. I get what they were going for but christ did they mistep something fierce. Unrelated but what do you think would have happened if the Courier had died? Either by Benny or if Doc Mitchell was too incompetent to patch him/her up? Would it be a clean sweep for Ceaser or would House pull something out of his butt? Ceaser seemed to be on the verge of winning yet at the same time is a complete idiot. So it's kinda interesting to speculate. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! http://i.imgur.com/yPw05Ob.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

UnfairRepresent posted... Ulysses does not shut up for a second and his character is about as deep as a teaspoon.House and Benny were at a stalemate, so I'm guessing the Legion wins. They were doing an effective job of crippling the NCR with a bunch of small fires all over the Mojave. However, I don't think the Legion would have lasted in the long run. --- Time is a funny thing, you know? I guess in the big picture of my life, you were only a blip.

Honestly I loved Lonesome Road because it really did feel like a lonesome road... with a robot companion but still. Just a long trek through a desolate but hostile area as you inch closer to the guy who has been pestering you the entire time for one final showdown. Loved the vibes. ...Admittedly I did not entirely get what Ulysses's deal was, though. --- Currently playing / Backlog / Collection: https://howlongtobeat.com/user?n=M_Watcher ...

Caesar was also on the verge of dying, and without being protected by speed of plot, who knows how much longer he would have lasted.Very true but the Mojave isn't dramatically effected by Ceaser's death. The future of the Leigon would be dramatically different. But the groundwork for the 2nd battle of Hover Dam and all the Leigon's work to destablize the reigon was already in effect. Ceaser wasn't even leading these efforts. Just ordering other people to do it. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! http://i.imgur.com/yPw05Ob.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

HighSeraph posted... Kreia is by far more annoying and you can't convince her she's full of shit.Eh, while it's true that you can't get her to admit she's wrong, the irony is this just demonstrates how wrong she is, whether by intention or mistake, when you think back to Jolee's cautionary tale about blindness on the part of an elderly Jedi master. And in any case you can prove her wrong, when she admits herself in the end that all those acts of altruism she tried to warn you away from had a positive effect on Nar Shaddaa, Onderon, and Dantooine, and that all the followers you gathered that she warned you not to gather, and all the Jedi you trained that she warned you not to train, would go on to become the bedrock of a new and better Jedi order. --- Time is a funny thing, you know?

It's a really strange DLC because it completely shits all over the roleplaying aspect of the game and forces a backstory on a character that was supposed to be a blank slate. Of course the kick in the pants was that they couldn't fully commit to giving the Courier a backstory with Ulysses because they didn't want to ruin the player's RP aspects, so we ended up with this wishy-washy " Now with the benefit of 14 years' hindsight, I think I can say that LR's story would've been greatly improved if Ulysses had simply zeroed in on your faction choice as motivation to be your nemesis; the mechanic / most of the dialogue was already there, just needed fleshed out a bit. It wouldn't have been stellar, but it also wouldn't have left a bad taste in the player's mouth the way the vague halfhearted forced backstory did. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. ...
