Fallout: New Vegas (PC) - Ulysses Talks About Legate Lanius and Joshua Graham

- From the Lonesome Road DLC. If you get Ulysses to side with you at the end of the DLC, he will be waiting near the entrance of the Divide, where you can talk to him and ask him for tips on how to confront Lanius.
Talk to me on Discord: / discord - Ігри
Time-saving timestamp: Ulysses starts talking about Graham at 1:41.
EDIT: OK, I'm really curious now. Which subreddit was this video shared to? I keep seeing traffic coming from Reddit. Will someone actually answer me or post a link lol
Recommend after watching Lanius speech.
I'm a year late but I have a Firefox extension that shows if the YT video was posted in subreddits and shows the comments of the posts in lieu of the YT comment section, seeing as I got nothing it must not be the subject of a post.
@@Ace-fv4fg Hey, that sounds like a really useful extension. What's it called? Thanks for sharing!
@@Ace-fv4fg nice.
Wait how do i talk to him
If I had the same voice as Ulysses or Joshua Graham, I would never shut up.
You'd certainly sound more intimidating.
Or Lanius...
ohhhhhhhhhhhhbaby. i love their voice
@Daniel Vasconcelos This is so delightfully edgy that I can imagine Ulysses saying this
read it boy
SPOILERS:
What's great about this conversation is that Ulysses' advice actually WORKS. If you convince Lanius that the Legion can't keep the East and hold the Dam at the same time, he relents. Ulysses is a very contemplative "people watcher". He reads others like a book and that was probably why he held such a high rank in the Legion.
Well, Ulysses' lines were written after the main game, so the writers could just look to their previous work.
@Mr. House Indeed, Ulysses was planned to be in the main game, he appears in the cards and some translations of the game replaces a house's name with "Ulysses' house". Obsidian had a plan that they couldn't fit in due to time constraints and so just placed it in the DLC.
@Mr. House Omg, are you my twin brother?
Ulysses was suppose to be a pro-caesar companion, but he didn't make the cut.
@@mat8791 Wolfhorn Ranch I believe is the location Ulysses lived at prior to being cut.
god damn dude like just imagine how much more they couldve done without the deadline
Fuck Zenimax, greedy bastards.
@@Mujahed. it's fucking Bethesda that forced Zenimax to rush their work.
Zenimax are merely the developers. Bethesda are publishers that finance the whole thing and dictate the rules, set the deadlines.
Zenimax are fine. Blame dipshit Howard.
Vodka Flask Genie zenimax didn’t develop anything their the parent company of Bethesda, obsidian made this game
Yeah, I mistook Zenimax for Obsidian lol, I meant Obsidian.
Still, I'm right. Blame Bethesda.
@@JollyWanker Zenimax/Bethesda softworks are the people who's responsible about financial stuff for Bethesda game studios, they rushed Obsidian's work to sell the game so fuck them.
My point is Todd howard works with Bethesda game studios (not Softworks) so he's not the one to blame.
What I really loved about NV’s DLC is that the ending made the 2nd Battle For Hoover Dam feel like Armageddon, where the fate of the West would be determined by that one event. It really did give more weight to the game’s climax.
If only we could of had that in F4...
Meanwhile it's actually a fairly insignificant event if you side with the NCR or the Legion. In both cases the war is still on and they tell you they're preparing for the rest. It's only with House that it really determines a lot: it gives birth to a new independent nation.
@@heiveldboy I think the best possible ending is the one in which the courier takes control of the strip and it's securitron army, The courier can be any kind of leader you want him to be. and thanks to big MT, who knows how long he could be such a leader.
@@Jetsetskyking So where you are the benevolent dictator?
@@heiveldboy Monolithic thinking, With you in control of the securitron armies and all of houses systems, there is nothing to state that the courier you choose to be has to maintain a dictatorship. That aside, since the courier is a player determinant personality, you can truly be a benevolent dictator if you wished to be. There is no such thing as a perfect government or nation, but that doesn't mean you can't be better than house, the NCR, or the legion.

@@AceOfBlackjack ikr

Frontier is full of degenerated that even Caesar would start puking after hearing the legend of it
I love this writing. Even though it takes place in a post apocalyptic retro future setting, it still writes like some ancient tale. Further proof about the vastness of history.
Even though the scale of FO4 is far larger, it feels so empty and inconsequential, while FONV is written with such depth and finesse that you delve into a world that is truly apocalyptic and at war with itself. Every faction in NV is concerned with the bigger picture of the region with ambition for power. It reads like a historical fiction epic, albeit 200 years in the future after nuclear war.
@@xennexen9849 Of course it feels empty. You don't hear, feel or see any of your accomplishes. I love New Vegas because it tells you what happened to who. Yeah, its open to interpretation in 3 and 4, but listening to it like its history class is a lot more satisfying
Gives the feel that history Will always reset to the old ways when civilization is destroyed
It really is my favorite part of the game; its tone and scale are unlike anything I've seen or read. It's a contemporary epic.
@@milesperhour9256 you literally hear people referencing the outcomes of SEVERAL quest lines, as well as Travis commenting on your accomplishments not unlike Three Dog, but OK, sure, FO4 is bed!!1!
Okay, let's think about that for a moment. If the one under the mask is the same person.
How many times have you seen a 7ft tall human-tank like Lanius taking a stroll in the Mojave?
ask frank horrigan.
@@kaimerry1587 Lanius would be, well, James Horrigan, then. Or Lance.
Stilts my man
I mean, have you fought him in the game? Judging by his size and agility he's clearly a deathclaw!
I think I remember a thing saying that "Lanius" is a title that different people have held
You know, all these conversations in New Vegas that basically deify other characters and give them legendaries reputations make me think about what kind of particular monster the courier himself is, since he can do whatever he wants and breaks any character that crosses his path.
Taking into account what Ulysses says in this conversation about Lanius, you can only wonder what went through General Oliver's head when he saw a bloodied courier coming at him, Lanius's helmet in his hands.
A man who literally survived getting shot twice in the head rises from the grave and makes all factions bend the knee to him, and those that wouldn’t he would kill
This game is all about these legends of the wasteland clashing in the background, quietly and out of sight. But still molding the world.
There are many information in New Vegas that contradict themselves. Homosexuality in Legion is NCR's propaganda. Most characters will tell you that Legion soldiers fuck each other, but if you talk to Jimmy, a former slave he will tell you that homosexuality is punishable by death and he was nearly killed by his owner when other legionnaires realized they were lovers.
Caesar talks a lot about how he hates technology. He refuses modern medicine and drugs for his soldiers. Yet he himself will settle only for the highest tier services, keeps an auto-doc in his tent and demands an actual doctor to perform his operations.
House sees himself as a visionaire entrepreneur who will bring humanity into a golden age of progress. He's a dictator who thinks himself benevolent and declares that all he wants is the future of mankind. And yet even though he has absolute power over New Vegas, Freeside is little more than a dump of human refuse, where people who got grinded in the gears of strips money-making scheme are thrown, after they lose their caps in the casinos.
But there is one person in the game that has no contradicting information. One person who everybody sees precisely as they are. General Oliver. Everyone you can talk to about him will tell you what an absolute fucking moron he is and how easily you can manipulate him. His soldiers hate him, his plans are critized, he's called the "Wait-and-see" General. Every single person in the game will tell you of his ineptitude, House, Caesar, even Hanlon talks about how easily he figured out Oliver and he got him to do anything he wanted him to do.
And given how Oliver is about to try and fight the Courier in the New Vegas ending, when he just saw him murder Lanius and walk back with his bloodied mask and sword in hands, i can't help but think that there's genuinely nothing going through Oliver's head. He's likely incapable of though.
@@keatonkitsune4064 thats exactly why i like the wildcard ending. The courier breaks the back of the factions that he deems unworthy to rule over the Mojave, then dissapears, waiting to see if a new faction arises, one that can shoulder the responsibility of controlling the Mojave
@@exenochrono7059 I always viewed that as the courier taking over and being pretty laissez faire in governing. Though IIRC the Kings do actually do a good job in that ending.
Ulysses on Lanius: "Use his pride to scare him,"
Ulysses on Joshua: "Don't fuck with Joshua Graham. Caesar couldn't, I wouldn't, you shouldn't,"
NCR killed him five times with bullets. Didn't hold. Legion tried to kill him once with fire and water. Didn't hold so they try to kill his legacy. I didn't try to kill him. Knew it would kill me. You should not try to kill him. It will kill you.
"He crosses me, I'll break him". Stuff like that is why I loved NV.

@@Fatman1994 The time for talk has passed.
The Lord's work must be done.
Not only does he tell you to leave him alone; he respects his wounds, and passes that along to you. "He has earned his life, and his nature - that will be the death of him more certain than any blade of the Legion."
He respects Joshua because he made peace with himself and everything he's done in his life, but seeing how he devoted himself to something greater than himself. Ulysses and Joshua are two incredibly similar characters who went through their own personal trial by fire. But one emerged changed because of love, and the other emerged changed because of hate

So you are telling me that the legion had Ulysses, joshua graham and lanius at the same time and still lost hover dam to the ncr?
NCR had Hanlon.
"We have some of the most strongest, most deadly men to ever come to west"
"Well we have guns"
"FUCK-"
Tbf, if you listen to what tactics the ncr used, they just turned the legions tactics against them and cornered them twice.
Also, Lanius probably wasn't in the legion at this point. Or if he was, he was very insignificant since Joshua couldn't recall him
Lanius was conquering out east, he came back to Ceasar after Joshua's failure.
@Hayley It was originally named Boulder City, it’s an actual place in Nevada.
i want ulysses and joshua to have a conversation
I don’t think they’d get along too well tbh. They seem like philosophical foils to each other.
@Nagger Yes but I can imagine the courier trying to get their friends to play well but also having “A light in shining Darkness” pointed at Graham himself and a 12.7 SMG belonging to Ulysses pointed at him. And there just wearing a Formal outfit, a suit belonging to both.
@Gnonam Pony “No. but the old worlds lessons have taught me that good work has never paid off.
Ulysses then proceeds to read the entire bible
Might be some hostility since Ulysses trained the White Legs
I think it'd be purposeless. Joshua has found God, and Ulysses is firmly within the realm of history and philosophy
Stunning writing..
Absolutely. Wish more people would just enjoy the fallout series, rather than cry about Bethesda 😂😂

@Zxylo 5 I oneshotted him with that tactic, I was both disappointed in lack of epic boss fight and pleasantly surprised that he was just a man.
@Zxylo 5 you like dark souls
@Zxylo 5 dark souls is pretty much what you explained in the comment above and skyrim on legendary can be hard only until certain level dependingo on your build
@Zxylo 5 My friend literally one shotted him on Hard in his first playthrough yesterday. With the Anti Material Rifle. So I don't know what you're talking about.
“19 tribes could not do it, all the lights in Vegas cannot”
“Yes man throw Legate Lamo off the Hoover Dam please.”
(this item is above your carrying capacity)
(you are now overencumbered)
Yes man has no such weaknesses
To this day
I Still chuckles to that dialogue and scene
It makes complete sense now that the speech option is not necessarily the Courier's idea, but one he took from Ulysses, who knows the ins and outs of the legion.
I fucking love this game and its writing.
A perceptive and charismatic courier could also conjure up that idea but there are a lot of times in NV where story arcs converge and intertwine into a beautiful complex net
I thought the same thing i was like wow how did he pull this out of his ass. Same with General Oliver. You learn by talking to other NPCs especially Mr House how they will tolerate war and heavy casualties but don't want their secrets exposed nor weaknesses and calculates he has a 36% suicide chance while president kimball about 7%.
Ironically most of the head leaders see the others the same way and see eye to eye on some things like the BoS and how important the Dam is.
Would've been better if you could only can use these options after certain dialogues or when a certain conditions met. Doesn't make much of a sense how Courier can just straight foreward attack their weak spots when he doesn't know much about them.
And this is why they're stupid for getting rid of NPCs on fallout 76
i know right!
Son Gohan that's bullshit but I respect your opinion
@Son Gohan i love how his argument makes no sense, bethesda fanboys are retarded
@Son Gohan while the story indeed needs some work and more rpg elements added I do like some gameplay elements, lore elements, and other stuff done in fallout 3 and 4. My favorite from fallout 4 being that power armor actually feels like actual power armor that turns you into a walking tank instead of just being another suit of armor you slap on. I however really don't care for the fusion cores as power armor is suppose to run off a different power sources. I also noticed Bethesda got lazy with a lot of things in fallout 4 chiefs among them being the fact they've just stopped naming the weapons.
@Son Gohan Oh don't get me wrong I do think you should've gotten it later and saved the deathclaw encounter for later as well. I'm just saying fact they got the feel of it right and that it actually feels like power armor that turns you into a walking tank instead of just being another suit if armor you slap on is something I loved. I also liked the settlement building and the ability to customize and later make your own weapons.
There's a lot that would need to be done to really fix things however short of Bethesda swallowing their pride and letting obsidian do it's thing again I don't see another fallout on par with New Vegas anytime soon. Like there's just a lot of potential floating there in 4 that you just grab but Bethesda just dropped the ball altogether. Something I really wish they would've done is allow you to assign units from the winning faction to your settlements. It would've been nice to have brotherhood paladins or Gen 2 synths guarding and helping outs. The Minutemen while cool on paper are just lacking so much. I also hate the fact they removed the skill checks you could have if you invested in certain skills. That and the factions feel so simplified and they don't have that much impact especially post game. I'm also a bit of a lore nerd and with fallout 4 I noticed they stopped naming their weapons and such like they just didn't care anymore. There's a long list and while there's things I love about fallout 4 there's just this massive amount of waisted opportunity especially since I recently learned they cut out a lot of cool stuff. Mods help but just * tired sighs*
The things they did fallout 76 that I liked is even shorter and they fucked up there plain and simple.

It's for the same reason Graham survived. He simply refused to die. The courier survived against all odds right off the bat, and just grew tougher with every step. The legate was strong in his own right, yes, but his own strength and honor is his ultimate undoing. The legate is high, the courier is low. And how the underdog fights. (With dynamite, anti material rounds, maybe a mini nuke, plasma, or a good old shotgun)
@@minecraftoverlordpe2842 (and a little bit of turbo)
I love how, despite this being a post apocalyptic, post nuclear war setting, the way it’s written it sounds like a myth of ancient times.
I feel like the NCR lacks for an ideologue. Which is part of their strength, and also their weakness. They're an amalgamation of convenience, not so much of necessity nor internal coherence. Whereas elsewhere in the wasteland, you have strongly forged personalities who, for all of their (many (and serious)) flaws and hypocrisies, have something they're striving for beyond their own immediate benefit. Ulysses, Joshua Graham, Lanius, Caesar himself, Mr. House, even people like Papa Khan, or Marcus, or, to say something charitable about FO3, the Liam Neeson father. The Master. Frank Horrigan. Unique, bizarre, highly driven people.
I've seen a number of players, Fallout fans, even New Vegas fans, who just don't understand the appeal of characters like this. Who don't _grok_ how anybody could be attracted to strength of personality or commitment to unusual ideological principles. I don't know that I understand it intellectually, but I do feel it. It's powerful, it's dangerous, it's romantic. It's "awful" or "awesome" in the original meanings of the words, and it's the closest, or second-closest, a human being can get to being immortal, inspiring, and terrifying in the same way a feat of nature can be.
It's interesting. Pretty good for only a video game, huh. I would hate to meet anyone half so charismatic irl.
The closest thing to an interesting ideologue in the NCR in FO:NV is probably Chief Hanlon, who I would rank with Papa Khan and Marcus, as people who care about something bigger than themselves-the something being their families and people at large, more so than abstract principles and big ideas. Still, impressive in its own right.
I think you've really nailed what the NCR is lacking. At the point in time that New Vegas takes place, the NCR mostly lack leaders with charisma and vision, with men like Kimball and Oliver vastly outnumbering men of honour and principle like Hanlon. More than that, though, they are slowly losing sight of the moral principles of justice and equality that underpinned the Republic's foundation.
Tandi was basically president for life, and I think she was the last true visionary leader. She was strong and indomitable but also fair and just, she pretty much defined what the NCR was supposed to represent - building a better future out of the ashes of the past.
THIS - You put into words exactly how I felt. Closest thing the NCR has to what I would consider a "warrior" in mind, body and spirit is Chief Hanlon. The backbone of the NCR's rangers (not the Desert Rangers). He's one of the few NCR characters I hold respect for. He has ideals greater than himself, charisma, intelligence, and does not underestimate the enemy. Even when he dies, his spirit and ideals will live on through the rangers, making him immortal.
But still its nothing compared to the powerful personalities in the Legion. Or the visionary and genius of Mr. House. People often shit on characters like these and can't see the beauty of characters like these. I like Ulysses even if he's a little crazy.
I completely agree! Alaways felt that something was missing about the whole NCR. And some other stuff in NV, but this being the biggest one.
I definitely think Ulysses has a lot of respect for Joshua. In my option Ulysses philosophy is essentially just him wanting to preserve history, since his own tribe's was erased by the Legion. The reason he speaks so highly of Joshua, similarity to how he speaks of how mighty Lanius is, is becuase both men are living legends surrounded by history. The reason Ulysses has such an interest in the Courier is becuase he mistakes them for wanting to destroy history like at Hopeville, which is why talking to you before he destroys the NCR is so important to him.
Seems like a major theme throughout New Vegas and its DLCs is learning to let go of the past, and the risk of letting it consume you:
-Both the NCR and the Legion are trying to emulate governments of the old world (Pre-War America and the Roman Empire respectively) and in doing so have gained their weaknesses and their strengths (the NCR being a corrupted bureaucracy and the Legion being a barbaric cult of personality)
-The Brotherhood of Steel stagnate in their bunker because their codex lead them to being selfish isolationist horders who make enemies instead of allies
-Dead Money is pretty much all about letting go; it even says so in the intro and outro more than once. Father Elijah refused to give up on his desire for total control, and in doing so was left alone and trapped within the very vault he desired (or dead, whichever one happens first).
-The Think Tank have been stuck in a loop for centuries, performing insane and dangerous experiments for their own sake both due to their insanity and the loss of their humanity (and no, I'm not just talking about the fact they're all brains in jars).
-Ulysses' becomes obsessed with Courier Six after they unintentionally destroyed his new home, and tries to have his revenge by launching nukes.
Did I miss anything?
Convincing Joshua Graham to let go of his past anger towards Salt-Upon-Wounds, essentially saving his soul.
Excellent!
The Courier themselves needs to let go of the trauma the night they were shot in the head because of the looming battle for Hoover Dam. But of a stretch though
Boone is traumatized and can't let go what happened to his wife and unborn child, and so hatred against the legion haunts him every day
yes , fallout new vegas is fundamentally about how change is the one true constant , and all that tries to emulate past or remain the same , implodes .
I still remember Killing ceasar in his tent, and when his cronies came after me I ran them into my trap of landmines. Most epic fallout moment I had.
Always fun loading up with some heavy-duty hardware with Boone to back me up and charging the fort. Though I wish you got a quick dialogue when you enter Caesar's tent so you could deliver a badass line. Like this:
Caesar: You think you can come to my camp and slay my Legionnaires with impunity. I offered you absolution once, but this insult will not stand.
Courier: Then fall, Caesar.
Killing Caesar while wearing Joshua's outfit...
Payback's a bitch!
Mine?
Spoilers!
Battling beside Ulysses in the middle, then hitting a V.A.T.S and watching it track my bullet and slowly zoom out to show us side by side his gun flaring up it’s muzzle. My Eyebot{Rest in piece Divide Ed-E} flanking the Medical Eyebot as they covering Ulysses flank, his repair bot covering my flank as it vaporizes someone close enough the ash from the marked man covering the left lenses of my Authority Glasses. He shouts how their coming on his flank, I pull back the handle of the M1 Garand slide reaching down pulling out the clip with only two bullets in it. I breathe quickly still under the affects of Cateye and phsyco combination, I keep my hand on the slide as I put in a full clip filled with AP rounds in my fingers glancing the century’s old carvings on the side of the rifle saying “This Machine kills Commies” a joke that flys over most peoples heads, not for me though as I was curious about it.
I was pulled out of this trance when a Incendiary grenade bounces off of the repair Eyebot and was heading towards Ulysses, I had just made a friend I wasn’t going to lose them this way like this! My left hand keeping a hold of my rifle as I held it one handed near the front, my right hand quicker than ever pulled A Light In Shinning Darkness out of its holster, I screamed angrily and with two barely aimed shots I hit the grenade near my feet taking the flames before it had a chance to roll over towards Ulysses. I batted the flame off of the Elite Riot Armors Duster, I had batted it off only to look up and see Ulysses swing his Cane I flinch but it was not deserved as a Bowie knife scattered on the floor. Regripping my Rifle in a different way as more of a bat both hands on the barrels end, I brought the rifle down on the fallen chosen.
“Bear and Bull Shadows! Grandeur you once held gone and replaced by shadows!” Ulysses shouted his hand extending downward to pull me up. A Riot Shotgun peppering the back of Ulysses duster, the old world flag on his duster peppered with buckshot. Buck shot that missed the intended target peppering the side of my face, my neck protected by the shoulder pads of the Elite Riot, my pink hair curls being peppered by unnecessary amounts of shot, my glasses getting blown clean off my face.
Another scream as my rifle fell out of my hands on purpose as my right hand pulled out my Police Baton, my left hand extending out the baton. I jump upwards charging forward smacking downwards, striking the marked man scout in the gun it flying out of its hands. My left hand quickly flying outwards catching the gun in my left hand, the barrel choke shoving against its chest. My trigger pull ripping a large hole through the horrible NCR trooper armor disgraced with license plates and Legion pouches.
I take a breath as Ulysses deals with this groups minigun, little breathing room at most 50 seconds before the next waves Marked Men come in and Storm us. I throw the Riot Shotgun down on to the deceased owners corpse. I walk forward bending downward picking up my Authority Glasses, rage fueling through my body as I look at the shattered lense on the ground, the right lense completely shattered and scattered on the ground, the left one shattered so badly I can’t see out of it. Rage fueled me as I picked up the shards and put them into a pocket holding Casino Chips from the Madre.
I breathe slowly once more, I move the chips aside the shards barely cutting me, underneath all the chips are old shades I haven’t touched since I took them off in the Vault. The Sunglasses going on smoothly lot strong then my normal shades my eyes aren’t hurting as badly now from the light.
The door opens once more as the next group Storms in, “This Machine” strap going over my shoulder. My hand reaches behind me and Unholsters the Survivalist Rifle, his journey is over and I’m ending most of my journey now it’s fitting. I grab loose 12.7 rounds and toss a box near Ulysses, he looks at me and pulls the pin on a Frag Grenade, the Frag being thrown far across the room. Ulysses spins the pin in his finger and looks at me. I enter V.A.T.S and watch my bullet tracking and being presented with a familiar scene as earlier. Last stand, we will kill every last one of these Marked Men if it’s the last thing we do, two Couriers standing in front of the Old World Flags.

I did it with a path of mines and satchel charges. A couple shots from my Holorifle until he ran, then blew up and I never found the body
The reason why Ulysses' dialog is so good in this game, is because of how fluently and easily he speaks. It's as if he were reciting poem or giving insight that's come from a very wise philosopher, yet you can understand every single word he says. His perspective is very intriguing and quite logical. He's also a very hard to persuade because of how well established his ideals are. He believes in what he says and doesn't back down. He has facts. Having a political debate with Ulysses would be a nightmare. Not even Ben Shapiro would survive Ulysses. Also the writting in Fallout New Vegas is 10 out of 10, don't even try to fight me.
Ben Shapiro is an insecure, pitiful man who has to debate college students because he would be skewed by "professional" debaters. If he ever did debate someone like Ulysses, he'd be verbally crucified.
That's why I try to convince him to stop. People like Ulysses, who truly believe in what they're doing AND with nothing left to really lose, are the scariest people in the world.
Yet, people try and say he talks too much. Cracks me up.
fallouts lore in the west coast is so much more rich than the east coast. the tribes, the legion, Joshua Graham.
Bethesda and Obsidian territory.
Because Bethesda in both 3 and 4 made the whole world look like its been few years since the bombs fell. They completely focused on pre-war times instead of the post-war, just like nothing has happened during these 200 years

What's true is true
Holy shit this is some fucking seriously good writing, comparing it to Fallout4 writing would be like comparing a Lambo to a scooter.
if you wanna see more of this quality i highly recommend kotor 2 or planescape torment. after playing both of those games Ulysses seems like such an obvious character that was written by chris avellone.
Caesar's anger written on him like a book
Damn that line 😲
Fun Fact: Ulysses was originally planned to be a permanent companion in the base game but was cut due to him having too much dialogue which would make it unable to fit it on a disk
Judging from how Ulysses' advice on beating lanius is actually one of the ways to beat him, it makes me think that Ulysses could've won the 2nd battle hover damn himself.
He's equally as capable as the courier which isn't a surprise.
It also makes me think that Caesar wins the battle of Hoover Dam, whether or not he is alive to see it, or alive after it to build Nova*Roma is debatable.
But everything I've seen makes me think that unless the Courier decides to intervene, then Caesar's Legion takes the dam... Especially with how cowardly the NCR forces at the Dam are.
@@KraNisOG the legion's as a whole is untenable anyway, the whole legion state is run by a slave economy that is sustainable only through warfare; they're bound to break as soon as their cult of personality dies or the successor is unable to hold the tribes together and even if they somehow manage to win and defeat the ncr, conquer its lands and bring all of its people into slavery, the whole of the legion would eat itself apart, stuck in a nightmare of conquest just to fuel its own economy.
Edward sallow is only borrowing the name of the romans, emulating a caricature of their society - Rome was adaptable, the legion is a stiff and uncompromising military dictatorship.
@@soundgfx7166 he literally says all of that, and also says he'll transform the legion once he takes New Vegas, he doesn't care about conquerors the whole of the Republic, only New Vegas to start the transformation.
I swear mailman in this game are nuts!
This is why New Vegas is the best Fallout game of the franchise imo! The lore is so compelling! I could listen to these stories for hours!
does having this conversation actually open up dialogue options with lanius in the end? that would be sick
Yes it does
The dialogue option was already there with 100 speech. It's one of the like, 3 choices
@@nah6892 No it wasn't what the hell are you talking about base game you can can convince him with *speech* two ways, you can use Barter for another way of getting him to fuck off
@@BB_Promoter ... I was, mentioning that, you can bring up the same dialogue option that op is talking about, with 100 speech.
Calm down man. I already knew one was barter. Jesus
You cant unless you at minimum have knowledge of Graham, therefore played Honest Hearts Lonesome Road or talk to the Old Ranger in Camp Golf
Thanks brother
There was a moment in the Lonesome Road dlc where I entered into a huge crater I look to my left and accidentally hit the VATS button and it caught Ulysses walking around in a ruined building. That’s when I realized this dude was following me makes me wonder where else I could’ve seen him at.
@@czarnakoza9697 woah
Yup
He stalks you throughout the dlc
I've played through NV and old workd blues so many time, and each time I have never fought Ulysses and killed him. Each time I deliberately kept him alive. He is the dude like
Ulysses was one of the best character ever made for new vegas. Hes a fav next to lanius
I find it funny that Bethesda forbid Obsidian from making another Fallout game. So what does Obsidian do? *THEY MAKE THEIR OWN FALLOUT GAME!*
Also, goes to show how good New Vegas really is.
DerpyGamer0013
Then in steps Microsoft....
@@courier6960 And under Microsoft, we'll likely get a good Fallout game again given they can force Bethesda to let Obsidian work their magic on it. Bethesda was a dying giant, this merger will breathe new life.
If so, then let's hope this can be that one good thing for 2020
@@courier6960 cool. So maybe fo5 won’t be absolute trash. Not that fo4 was but It surly wasn’t on par with nv
@@courier6960 do you remember when Microsoft bought the creators of banjo kazooie
I'd keep the expectation on low for now
Let's get this straight falloutNV fans,
The courier and Ulysses weren't no ordinary mailmen!!!!!!!
Its kind of sad how he was supposed to be the Caesar affiliated companion apparently.
Can I be honest I’ve already replayed nv a thousand times but this just made me want to play it again thank you
This is so well written and acted.
Bethesda's writing is tripe in comparison.
Back in fallout 3 they had decent writing. Everything from then they've been lazy and half arsed with it and this is why 3 and FNV will be elite forever
@igor šajinović This guy good, this guy bad.
You're now good.
@@LucasGibbo The writing in Fallout 3 was garbage also.
insult to tripes, tripes actually can taste good
@@greigtoye nah i disagree. Not as good as NV but actually had humour unlike 4 and 76
This convo has more depth than anything fallout 4 produced
I just want to hear a conversation between Joshua Graham and Ulysses.
It feels good knowing that I changed Joshua Graham's nature slightly by having him spare salt on wounds. It means ulysses is wrong, Joshua Graham found peace.
Same. Very satisfying. Especially since Salt and his remnants got fucking myurdered for their failure. Saved Joshua some bullets~
Whaaat that's an ending? I just killed that dude for the second time
@@Scourgeoftengri yep. You need 100 speech for it. But its possible to convince joshua to spare salt on wounds , which allows him to finally find peace.
@@MisotheScot dang guess im doing that on my third savefile. sounds like a better ending for the sorrows/joshua
I never respected Ulyses for his knowledge. I felt like was a lost soul trying to figure out what to do but I respected his ambition to cut his own path.
Joshua and House are the wisest characters in the game
“Lost soul trying to figure out what to do”
Aren’t we all.
@@Ghidorah96 Your right. Some know what they want to do but others dont know their ambition, I get it. But Ulysses doesnt know what he wants while he sits on top of a nuke, wanting to destroy the NCR and Ceaser and the 2nd Hoover battle.
@@3starperfectdeer233 well that's pretty much the point of the DLC tho. Ulysses wants an answer he couldn't find by himself. He's met the Courier before, and wants to know his reasons to destroy "his world", the motivations behind his actions. He already understands what the Bear and the Lion are all about, but nothing about the mailman. It's only natural that he does everything he can to drag 6's attention, so that he may understand which role it will play in the final events of the battle.
Ulysses is my single favorite character in this entire series.
I dont get why people hate Ulysses, the way he speaks in spoken word poetry is fascinating
@P. Cameron I think he hates industrialized war or whatever equivalent the wasteland has, not guns and explosives themselves as they are merely tools, where with minimal effort you can create pawns to do your bidding and commit atrocities blindly in the name of whatever convenient truth, whereas hopeville was something that naturally came together out of the ashes of the old world and for the most part like he said was an actual new chance for the world. Hopefully was inspired by America whereas the NCR modelled themselves directly off of America and the Legion regressed
People hate ulysses?
I love Ulysses voice as well as Joshua's.
🅱️anius
well amazing voice and writing here bravo
You know it’s funny at first never even care anything about the sky after playing fallout new Vegas for a bit in a little bit of the lore of the game, this guy is completely awesome he knows everything for peaceful options for violent options and then judge your actions to see if it’s righteous or not.
As Joshua is more of a Preacher Man knowing there is light in whatever darkness is out there.
But Ulysses is the very man to show that any actions can cause a ripple effect to change everything
That Voice hits hard
Masterpiece
If you didn't save Ulysses, you were wrong
Fuck I miss this kind of voice acting In fallout
This sick ass translation
The way he says "like a book" makes me feel tingly in my big iron
Lonesome road will always be my favorite.
Some of the most powerful writing & themes in any game.
Powerful voice acting too
Graham lost to oliver and chief hanlen, what makes lanius different from him? Nothing... Joshua graham, caesar and lanius... The only difference between them are their names...
Lord Arryn Oliver is a fool. Hanlon lead the troops of the Bear, and held the dam. Oliver relived him from command because he got the glory, and weakened the bears grip of the dam. Oliver leads the Republic to defeat at the battle, leading to the Bull pushing further west. If Oliver lead the first battle of Hoover dam, Graham would’ve won.
I kill hanlon tho for the ranger sequioa
Caesar is the scarry leader
Joshua is a direct confrontation master
Lanius is the trapper and trickster that's deadly in every way
@@diobrando2575 Oliver tries to beat the Legion in their own game, but they can't, the only way for the NCR to defeat the Legion is through an excellent strategy, not going straightforward.
@@dowom1452 Lol no... Lanius is not a trickster by any means. Lanius is just a muscle head that leads his troops through fear. If anything, he's a WORSE Legate than Joshua was and sending his troops on a suicidal fit.
"Yeah uh Ulysses? Fucking LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!"
Fuck I forgot how good his voice actor was
Wait, How did you talk to him in person instead of through ED-E?
I just finished the DLC and i didn't kill him instead the ending says he still roaming in The Divide, but i can't find him. And as i know the only First and last time i having a conversation with him in person was in The Ulysses's Temple.
Ulysses:No one can defeat Lanius
Courier:So anyways I started blastin
Ulysses never uses the word "I" to refer to himself, does he...?
Really wish you could have had josh as a companion and then when you do this dlc they have some dialogue together
this game is way too good. timeless.
This always makes me think that Caesar wins the battle of Hoover Dam without Courier input. Whether it lasts, and whether Caesar is up for alive is up for debate though.
image if this game had a couple more months to make it would be amazing
This game was good then the dlc all came out and it was amazing
This interaction explains why you can’t tell Caesar the Burned Man is dead besides budget and time constraints
ViDeO gAmEs cAnT bE aRt
wish they would go back to making fallout games like this
They won't. Bethesda doesn't understand RPG's. Or at least not anymore they don't. Skyrim was the last game they made that could match the description of a roleplaying game.
Fallout New Vegas was made by Obsidian, which is made up of the guys working at (the now bankrupt and dismantled) Black Isle studios, the original creators of Fallout and Fallout 2.
He underestimates the power of mr house
God I wish Ulysses could be a companion
I’m still trying to figure out what the order is for the DLCs. I think it’s Old World Blues, Honest Hearts, Dead Money, then Lonesome Road, but I’m not sure.
It's Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, and finally Londsome Road
That's the canon order for the DLC
I just wanted these two to meet in game, even if it was a fight, it would be the most insightful fight😂😎
Two Headed Bear, The Bull, Mr House, Wildcard. What ever your symbol is wear it proudly on Hoover Dam
Man I wish I could make my voice sound like that
How come the best voice actors are/were from the Legion? Joshua, Lanius, Ulysses
Creetosis brought me here. Ave.
He was the best of the legion, it would only take the best of legion to take kill him
stopped @ 0:20 , cos realised this could be a fkn amazing, written for adults game to play, and I dont want to see any more spoilers.
His voice is so fucking hott 💜
