Ulysses: Talks about how Courier 6 has a long history with him and ruined his life Courier 6: can’t remember who the hell Ulysses and is just here for the new Ranger armor and weapons
Ulysses is just a sad little hippy who blames you, when the place he wanted to call home got blown up. It wasn't the Courier's fault the device caused it to blow up, they were just doing their job as a Courier! Talk about shooting the messenger! XD
1. I love how the overarching storylines of the DLC are connected by a courier with a vendetta. 2. I love how Ulysses says that this is all on you, and how you walked straight into hell by your own volition.
@@mitchmurray6323 i met to say is Fallout NV DLC is quite the best DLC ever the pricing is great and the story connect to NV is amazing the price for Fallout 4 is a joke and there is no connection to the story at all
I mean, the start of the game was covered in signs saying "You can turn back" and "You can go home Courier." Hard to say we aren't to blame for walking headlong into it.
@@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself No, it's "women do" in game for female Couriers... They actually recorded two separate voice lines one for males and one for females.
A fan theory on a small detail, thought up by yours truly: Think of it as a 'what if'. The graves just prior to the Canyon Wreckage you looked at were prepared by Ulysses. Although he doesn't feel vengeful towards you by the time you make your way to the Divide doesn't mean he never felt that way before then. Didn't he expect you would die carrying the platinum chip? "Before seeking vengeance, dig two graves".
MGA Studios what do you mean? That’s like saying characters in Movies or TV shows aren’t cute, cool, cuddly etc. I don’t mean to be rude, with this, honest. But i don’t get where you’re coming from at all
jbiehlable "The road a courier walks has led me here and the package I must deliver shall require a royale with cheese and an assortment of sides. These are the calories the flag on back must bear."
jbiehlable This New World moves fast, almost as fast as the Old World. The Divide shows how it moves to the same fate: Of radioactive fire. But for now we must walk our roads, carry our packages like the couriers we are. Do you require caps? Or paper bearing the mark of the Bear or Bull?
Ulysses is the most underrated character. His dialogue, his purpose, and his meaning are all so deep and rich. Whoever wrote and voiced him did a brilliant job.
and he just gives you that feeling that he's in control, right up until you kill/spare him, you always get the feeling that maybe that was what he wanted, why he seemed prepared for that eventuality
He WAS intended to be a potential follower after completing the DLC. He was supposed to provide a counter to your other followers since he's the only one who doesn't despise The Legion.
Yeah he would have been a fun companion to have, especially since he has a lot of shared experiences with the courier. Would have been interesting to see, guess it got cut for time restraints or something.
00000000 was actually the launch code for all minute man silos in the United States for the longest time. It was done so in the even of the cold war going hot, that they could be launched quicker than trying to remember a 8 digit code. They thankfully changed it when the cold war ended
luckylucas 1 that is one of the things that really surprised me after reading the book, Raven Rock, was how little effort was put into actually protecting people. It seemed the entire purpose of continuity of government was less to do with ensuring the survival of the American people and government, and more to do with ensuring that, should the worst come to pass, the United States would fire a retaliatory strike. That actually seems like the only COG operation that had the resources to actually succeed in its purpose.
One thing I've thought of is the "you can go home courier" graffiti, to me it can mean two different things. The first could be Ulysses saying you can leave at anytime, the second could be him saying that YOU can go home but he cant.

@MRDRAXX Same. Though I fought it out with Ulysses for another reason: the man presents a threat overall to the region. He's completely insane, unhinged, and intent upon revenge for no reason (the Courier couldn't have know what was in the package, his/her job is delivery). Nothing says he would stop there in the Divide if he focused on revenging himself on others.
@robert20351 The issue I have with Ulysses' speech is that it feels superfluous and comes across as vacuous at times. Or arrogant, whichever you choose. He could easily get to the point; but then again he is completely insane. One could argue he's constructed his narrative of revenge and is therefore using those theatrics to fit that world view and identity he has constructed.
I always enjoyed how obsidian built up to this story with the clues in the vanilla game, and adding to it with the dlc in small, subtle ways. Lonesome road was the fitting end to the story of the courier.
Ryan Hawkins this may be late, but it's the truth. During the Cold War, all personnel that had access to the launch codes had briefcases where they would have to unlock it and input the code and press a button and they would launch. And to avoid having to remember a complex code that would take too long to launch the nukes, they decided to make the passwords all 0's.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! Literally just finished playing through Old World Blues last night following my favorite Wastelander (You, Oxhorn)... Even went and commented for an estimate as to when you’d playthrough Lonesome Road, because I’m not missing anything! ... And lo-and-behold I get off of work to see this in my notifications 🤩 You inadvertently made my day, sir 🧐
Fun fact: Ulysses was cut content from the base game. He was to be a companion and he lived in Wolfhorn Ranch, outside Nipton. This was my favorite DLC but when I played New Vegas I was oblivious to the continuity within the game so I'm looking forward to how this plays out.
@plaguedoctor460 The NCR and the Legion all watch your actions that will change your reputation, but only the flying robot boi will change your destiny forever.
I highly doubt it was military slang. It's almost certainly meant to be, for lack of a better term, poetry. Ulysses does that shit a lot, speak cryptically with bloomed language.
@@bucketofdicks4096 you be surprised by what goes for as for military slang. I don't remember the exact name, but windtalkers would call tanks turtles I believe. Hell the Japanese zero fighter was called "Zeke" and other things were called things that somewhat represent the weaponry
@@The_Stumbler I'm not doubting that 'Spears' is military slang for nuclear bombs, I'm just saying that Ulysses wasn't referring to them as such because Old World soldiers did; he was just naming them that because he articulates his speech in a very poetic fashion; like he'll also refer to them as 'giants' etc.
@@bucketofdicks4096 I mean with Ulysses, that seems to be more his priority with speaking, hell the whole the "flashback" oxhorn did was to a very poetic holotape. honestly I would believe you are right, more of that he just is wanting to be poetic as his priority. I mean it could also be poetic to his old legion self with one of their weapons being a throwing spear.
I love this DLC. I wish I could forget it all just so I could do a clean playthrough of it without knowing what happens. This DLC keeps me coming back to this game...I played through the game on xbox 360 no save editing or glitches at all originally. Looking back at it now it gives me some kind of strange nostalgia.
Aaaaaaamen that would be just awesome to get a completely blank playthrough.... just to relive my excitement for this awesome dlc.... even though i kinda missed the point the first time xD took me 3 more tries to get it xD
I have waited for this too every notification on mondays had me anxious waiting for this and a blank playthrough is id love also because i loved this dlc
It was nice to see obsidian studio give a nod to real world events. Between 1962 to 1977 during the cold war, the code meant to prevent unauthorised launching of the United States arsenal of Minuteman nuclear missiles was (apparently) "00000000" Yes that's right, 8 zeros! The permissive action link (PAL) code first came to light in 2004, after Bruce Blair, a former Minuteman missile launch control officer disclosed it in a column for the centre for defence information. According to Blair, the White House (under JFK) in 1962, ordered the codes to be installed despite objections from the US strategic air command which worried the extra layer of security would delay the launching of missiles in the event of an emergency. Nonetheless, official followed the orders and began phasing in the locks but all the while setting the "secret unlock code" to eight zeros. "The locks had been installed but everyone knew the combination and if you actually forgot it, it was written down on a checklist handed out to soldiers on the base" stated Blair. Sometimes, real life is WAY more scary than fantasy.Looks like in the fallout universe similar things happened except in this one the codes were left set at zero (or they had them reverted back) all the way up to 2077.
Anarchy Antz not surprising, I believe that there was stuff like that in Fallout 1 and 2 as well and since obsidian was founded by ex-Black Isle guys(the team who did Fallout, Fallout 2 and Project Van Buren aka Black Isle Fallout 3)
Exactly DCT. Like they have brought up since the early ones regarding "That Gun/ 2019 Detective Special" which links back to Fallout 1 and 2 as well as Fallout New Vegas (and of course a nod to Blade Runner). Actually I like all of either real world, pop culture and so on things all of the Fallout creators put in. Some like the nuclear code ones though you think are incredulous to the point of must be made up only to find are yeaaaah that's true is somewhat scary when you think about it. One of my favourites has to be the Y17 Harness guys saying "who turned out the lights" Dr Who reference in old world blues. I was hoping at some point to find some gas mask clad creatures saying "muuuuuuuuuumy! muuuuuuuuumy! Are you my mummy?" while chasing you down (another Dr Who reference).
Ryan Estes If I could time travel, I would take that knowledge and launch a nuke at Russia, starting nuclear war so we could actually LIVE IN THE FALLOUT UNIVERSE
I'll never forget my first experience with New Vegas. I picked up the Ultimate Edition (the one with all the DLC) in 2012 with no prior knowledge of the game. After completing Ghost Town Gunfight, the first thing I did was head for the quest marker closest to me. I skipped the warning message and entered the Divide at level 3 armed with nothing but an Armored Vault 13 Jumpsuit, a Weathered 10mm Pistol and a couple of Stimpak's. Long story short, I had to restart my game.
Oxhorn, when Ulysses writes "You can go home" he means that Courier 6 may return to their place of origin. He didn't mean Vegas, which may have become the Courier's new home. The Courier still originated from some other place and Ulysses was clearly talking about that.
That doesn't make sense to me. What you say is true about the Courier's home, however his use of the word "can" makes it hard for him to mean "the divide" as the Courier's home. After all, that is where the Courier is headed already. "Of course I can go home--I am going home right now!" If Ulysses meant the divide as the Courier's home, he would have simply said, "Go home, Courier". His use of the word "can" leaves the impression that he is informing the Courier that he can do something that he is not currently doing, as if he haddn't considered it yet. Since the Courier is currently on the way to the divide, the home Ulysses must be referring to is Vegas. This is made more evident in future conversation with Ulysses, when he blames the Courier for being thoughtless.
Huh, I guess that does make a certain amount of sense. It just seems weird to me that Ulysses would give the Courier reassurance. I mean, what does he gain from telling the Courier that they can return to Vegas if they want to? Oh well.... That's not that important anyway.
+Andrew Klan Thanks, man! I actually based it off of my own name a bit, cause "Yan" is my real name and my surname starts with "Al-" and ends with "vich" (which is how one is supposed to read Al's name, only his family seems to have forgotten to put the ´ in "Yanković")
Of all the New Vegas DLC series you've covered, this is the one I waited for the most. I never went through anything so bleak & oppressive in all of my gaming years. Keep at it Oxhorn!
Lonesome Road: An amazing DLC that tells the tale of two couriers, both with troubled pasts, both intertwined, both badasses, and both know of the Divide. I love Ulysses one of the best DLC characters other than the brains, and Joshua! Thanks Ox.
Fun Fact: The ArmCo company mentioned when asking EDE about reloading tools is quite likely a reference to the Armscor company whose U.S. office is located just west of Las Vegas. The company is known for their affordably priced yet medium quality cheap imported guns and ammunition. Their ammunition, .22 caliber in particular has developed a bad reputation for being about 10% duds. Fun Fact two: If you look up Armscor's U.S. location on a map you will see that in the Fallout universe it would be located just over the mountains west of Jacobstown and Red Rock Canyon in the town of Pahrump Nevada.
It's really odd seeing this DLCs sky so bright. The rest of the video is bang on by the way. I love how the intro captures the feeling of hopelessness, loneliness, and depression of the Lonesome Road. It's superb editing. You've really hit the nail on the head with this one.
Ulysses: I'm a courier. Courier six... Was Courier Six. Like you - and not like you, in all the ways that matter. Me: Like me and not like me? No freaking way Sherlock.
The Lonesome Road is one of my favorite Fallout DLCs, Hands down. The build up, the lonely feeling as you travel, the challenge of the enemies, the loot, all of it is awesome. I love how much history they put into our character. I am so excited for this series. I am going to love every episode!
small bit of continuity error on developers part? I've always had this question too. Throughout all games The wasteland(s) seem(s) frozen in mid-day. People at work in office buildings, wives shopping at Super-Duper-Mart, citizens commuting through traffic or on planes etc.
Robert cross and his magic is how a voice like this is possible :) also apparently Because ulysses voice had to be so raspy roger cross had some problems with Voice acting him, i think
They should've programmed a function where you have a small chance of contracting botulism whenever you eat canned food, and your survival skill lower the chances even further
Ulysses is probably the best character in the entire Fallout universe. He is so deep, and wise somehow. The first time i played the dlc i was hypnotized by his narrative and his stories i love his character.
Isaac I can't see Dominguez Yeah obsidian did a good job making ulysses hes such a good villain that actually has a grudge against you for a reason you dont know at first but that curiosity just drives you forward
i wonder if Oxhorn finishes editing a considerable part of the episodes of a series before uploading or is it an edit and upload as it goes on. also if there's a dedicated script or just bullet points and if he works by his lonesome. either way, the fact that he works hard and meticulously shows and i admire him for it.
so I did a little digging and I found that the earliest references of cancer, date back to 2500 bc in a document written by ancient Egyptian doctors dealing with breast based cancer symptoms and they seemed to use what sounds like a heated drill to surgically burn it away, but still concluded that it was untreatable in each of these cases. they called the implement a "fire drill" sadly I was unable to figure out what a "fire Drill" was.
I would assume a peace of heated metal or stone or a tool they used to drill with heated like a sword would be when forging. That would probably melt away the cancer. Or even punctured it burning inside and outside. Another would be a piece of wood lit on fire than “drilled” into the cancer. All sound painful tho.
When I first played Fallout New Vegas, I started the Lonesome Road dlc while my character was Level 3, not knowing anything about it other than it was a dlc....I walked out no less than Level 20, just to travel to Big MT immediately after and start the Old World Blues dlc, followed by traveling to the Sierra Madre Hotel. All of this before even playing through the actual game.
eljamaicano1 it’s a rather linear dlc, owb had a ton of side content to work with, this one is literally on a straight path, but it won’t be super short. But I doubt it will be longer than owb
Haven’t seen anything like these DLCs since new Vegas, made every other one sooooooo much better. Was really hoping fallout 4 would have follow the same path 🤦♂️

Literally just finished playing through Old World Blues last night following my favorite Wastelander (You, Oxhorn)... Even went and commented for an estimate as to when you’d playthrough Lonesome Road, because I’m not missing anything! ... And lo-and-behold I get off of work to see this in my notifications 🤩
You inadvertently made my day, sir 🧐
Mark Stogdill Vault1701 Thank you (×123,456,789).
Fun fact: Ulysses was cut content from the base game. He was to be a companion and he lived in Wolfhorn Ranch, outside Nipton.
This was my favorite DLC but when I played New Vegas I was oblivious to the continuity within the game so I'm looking forward to how this plays out.
He's you but stronger
Is there any more info on him as a companion? Does he just join the whole game then at some point he disappears leaving a trail?
"You can always go home"
I always took this to mean that no matter what path in the game you choose you can always come home to the Divide.
That Won Magnus wow u have made me take that a different way I just thought u can return to the wasteland
Ulysses is a courier and wanted to call the divide his home. Maybe it's his for of denial and grief. Maybe ptsd
*Courier asks how he speaks through ED-E*
Normal person: I hacked him
Ulysses: *delivers 10 minutes monologue*
Straight answers are a foreign concept to Ulysses.
@plaguedoctor460 The NCR and the Legion all watch your actions that will change your reputation, but only the flying robot boi will change your destiny forever.
When Ulysses said "America's Spears" he is referring to the nuclear missiles, since "Spears" is a common codeword for nuclear missiles.
I highly doubt it was military slang. It's almost certainly meant to be, for lack of a better term, poetry. Ulysses does that shit a lot, speak cryptically with bloomed language.
No no no no. It has got to be the fallout version of britney spears, only option
@@bucketofdicks4096 you be surprised by what goes for as for military slang. I don't remember the exact name, but windtalkers would call tanks turtles I believe. Hell the Japanese zero fighter was called "Zeke" and other things were called things that somewhat represent the weaponry
@@The_Stumbler I'm not doubting that 'Spears' is military slang for nuclear bombs, I'm just saying that Ulysses wasn't referring to them as such because Old World soldiers did; he was just naming them that because he articulates his speech in a very poetic fashion; like he'll also refer to them as 'giants' etc.
@@bucketofdicks4096 I mean with Ulysses, that seems to be more his priority with speaking, hell the whole the "flashback" oxhorn did was to a very poetic holotape. honestly I would believe you are right, more of that he just is wanting to be poetic as his priority. I mean it could also be poetic to his old legion self with one of their weapons being a throwing spear.
I have waited for this for so long. My fav dlc! Keep on doing the good job!
P.S. Never bothered people with asking for it, I was a patient, good boy.
I love this DLC. I wish I could forget it all just so I could do a clean playthrough of it without knowing what happens. This DLC keeps me coming back to this game...I played through the game on xbox 360 no save editing or glitches at all originally. Looking back at it now it gives me some kind of strange nostalgia.
same
Aaaaaaamen that would be just awesome to get a completely blank playthrough.... just to relive my excitement for this awesome dlc.... even though i kinda missed the point the first time xD took me 3 more tries to get it xD
I have waited for this too every notification on mondays had me anxious waiting for this and a blank playthrough is id love also because i loved this dlc
Andrew Vasyliew same
It's a good time to use our ark-welder *pulls out knife*

YES.

KC ? More like KFC!!!
Sorry if I offended you or something

It was nice to see obsidian studio give a nod to real world events. Between 1962 to 1977 during the cold war, the code meant to prevent unauthorised launching of the United States arsenal of Minuteman nuclear missiles was (apparently) "00000000" Yes that's right, 8 zeros! The permissive action link (PAL) code first came to light in 2004, after Bruce Blair, a former Minuteman missile launch control officer disclosed it in a column for the centre for defence information. According to Blair, the White House (under JFK) in 1962, ordered the codes to be installed despite objections from the US strategic air command which worried the extra layer of security would delay the launching of missiles in the event of an emergency. Nonetheless, official followed the orders and began phasing in the locks but all the while setting the "secret unlock code" to eight zeros. "The locks had been installed but everyone knew the combination and if you actually forgot it, it was written down on a checklist handed out to soldiers on the base" stated Blair. Sometimes, real life is WAY more scary than fantasy.Looks like in the fallout universe similar things happened except in this one the codes were left set at zero (or they had them reverted back) all the way up to 2077.
Anarchy Antz not surprising, I believe that there was stuff like that in Fallout 1 and 2 as well and since obsidian was founded by ex-Black Isle guys(the team who did Fallout, Fallout 2 and Project Van Buren aka Black Isle Fallout 3)
Exactly DCT. Like they have brought up since the early ones regarding "That Gun/ 2019 Detective Special" which links back to Fallout 1 and 2 as well as Fallout New Vegas (and of course a nod to Blade Runner). Actually I like all of either real world, pop culture and so on things all of the Fallout creators put in. Some like the nuclear code ones though you think are incredulous to the point of must be made up only to find are yeaaaah that's true is somewhat scary when you think about it. One of my favourites has to be the Y17 Harness guys saying "who turned out the lights" Dr Who reference in old world blues. I was hoping at some point to find some gas mask clad creatures saying "muuuuuuuuuumy! muuuuuuuuumy! Are you my mummy?" while chasing you down (another Dr Who reference).
They've gotten a lot better about computer system passwords since then thankfully.
Its a real thing in the Mojave
I think the scariest part is those missiles are titan twos, which by the late 60's were found to be dangerously unsafe and ineffective.
Hey ox the 0000000 launch code is actually a real life reference. For like 30 years the American missile silos actually had that as the password.
Ryan Estes If I could time travel, I would take that knowledge and launch a nuke at Russia, starting nuclear war so we could actually LIVE IN THE FALLOUT UNIVERSE
Shawn Wolf But there would be no power armor or nuka cola :(

I'll never forget my first experience with New Vegas. I picked up the Ultimate Edition (the one with all the DLC) in 2012 with no prior knowledge of the game. After completing Ghost Town Gunfight, the first thing I did was head for the quest marker closest to me. I skipped the warning message and entered the Divide at level 3 armed with nothing but an Armored Vault 13 Jumpsuit, a Weathered 10mm Pistol and a couple of Stimpak's. Long story short, I had to restart my game.
Aaron Dukes same, i made it through (somehow) then got massacred by marked men
Humanity's biggest question:
Are other missiles also tilted to the side?
Pretty sure they are
An ICBM can not support its own weight so yeah they all probably are.
Given that Ulysses says the explosions that created the divide were made by other bombs like the one in the silo you start in, yeah I'd say so
(47:25)
Oxhorn: "We have an option to examine the poster and upon doing so..."
Me: "I get an add for Splenda."
If I ever have a life story written I want Oxhorn to *NARRATE* it.
Oh my god. Its actually happening. This is not a drill
SO THE LAUNCH CODE IS 12345.....
EVERYONE EVACUATE
@@JeanLucCaptain at least it is now. Sorry for politics...
Actually it used to be 0000000 on all land based US missiles for about 20 years in real life. MOST TERRIFYING THING I EVER FOUND OUT.
Jean-Luc Martel Hahaha!! Spaceballs.
I was confused at first but then I remember the events at Big Empty that allowed the Courier to understand 8
I really appreciate the way you mixed in the real history about Ulysses S. Grant, and the way you framed it inside the securitron. Good stuff.
That intro sends shivers down my spine
Oxhorn, when Ulysses writes "You can go home" he means that Courier 6 may return to their place of origin. He didn't mean Vegas, which may have become the Courier's new home. The Courier still originated from some other place and Ulysses was clearly talking about that.
That doesn't make sense to me. What you say is true about the Courier's home, however his use of the word "can" makes it hard for him to mean "the divide" as the Courier's home. After all, that is where the Courier is headed already. "Of course I can go home--I am going home right now!" If Ulysses meant the divide as the Courier's home, he would have simply said, "Go home, Courier". His use of the word "can" leaves the impression that he is informing the Courier that he can do something that he is not currently doing, as if he haddn't considered it yet. Since the Courier is currently on the way to the divide, the home Ulysses must be referring to is Vegas. This is made more evident in future conversation with Ulysses, when he blames the Courier for being thoughtless.
Huh, I guess that does make a certain amount of sense. It just seems weird to me that Ulysses would give the Courier reassurance. I mean, what does he gain from telling the Courier that they can return to Vegas if they want to? Oh well.... That's not that important anyway.
Yan Alkovic you may be wrong sir, but you still win the game of having the best name and profile picture
I always thought there was more emphasis on "Can." As in the courier CAN go home because they still have a home to go to.
+Andrew Klan Thanks, man! I actually based it off of my own name a bit, cause "Yan" is my real name and my surname starts with "Al-" and ends with "vich" (which is how one is supposed to read Al's name, only his family seems to have forgotten to put the ´ in "Yanković")
Ulysses: You and I are the ones who can walk these roads.
Courier 6: For the loot?
I love how obsidian gave the eye bots emotion just by moving them up or down.
Best DLC I've ever played, hands down.
The Dog Agreed!
With elite Riot Gear, Red glare, Sierra scorched PA, Armor of the 87. tribe, Courier Duster, Ed-E 2.0, etc.
This dlc is too good to be true.
AGREE
It's good; great even...but Blood and Wine is the pinnacle.
BLOOD AND WINE
Of all the New Vegas DLC series you've covered, this is the one I waited for the most. I never went through anything so bleak & oppressive in all of my gaming years. Keep at it Oxhorn!
Joshua Perrin I agree. When I found Oxhorn's page I was disappointed that Lonesome Road wasn't available. Now, it's time to watch it all end.
ED-E IS SO ADORABLE!!
Other ED-E: Am i a joke to you?
"my character is naked so i can use my new weapons" 😂😂 best save ever!!!
Lonesome Road: An amazing DLC that tells the tale of two couriers, both with troubled pasts, both intertwined, both badasses, and both know of the Divide.
I love Ulysses one of the best DLC characters other than the brains, and Joshua! Thanks Ox.
note: the fisrt NCR Trooper had red skin making him a marked man trooper
A Face For a Skull lol i did not notice it!

Fun Fact: The ArmCo company mentioned when asking EDE about reloading tools is quite likely a reference to the Armscor company whose U.S. office is located just west of Las Vegas. The company is known for their affordably priced yet medium quality cheap imported guns and ammunition. Their ammunition, .22 caliber in particular has developed a bad reputation for being about 10% duds.
Fun Fact two: If you look up Armscor's U.S. location on a map you will see that in the Fallout universe it would be located just over the mountains west of Jacobstown and Red Rock Canyon in the town of Pahrump Nevada.
" I'm fully armed now no need to worry" yeah with a nail gun a shovel and an arc welder.
It's really odd seeing this DLCs sky so bright. The rest of the video is bang on by the way. I love how the intro captures the feeling of hopelessness, loneliness, and depression of the Lonesome Road. It's superb editing. You've really hit the nail on the head with this one.
"You can go home, Oxhorn."
"it was here that I regretted leaving all my equipment behind, but I was thankful that I at least brought my shovel" *bashes Coyote pups with it"
Ulysses: I'm a courier. Courier six... Was Courier Six. Like you - and not like you, in all the ways that matter.
Me: Like me and not like me? No freaking way Sherlock.
*visible confusion*
The Lonesome Road is one of my favorite Fallout DLCs, Hands down. The build up, the lonely feeling as you travel, the challenge of the enemies, the loot, all of it is awesome. I love how much history they put into our character.
I am so excited for this series. I am going to love every episode!
Ooooh... Like the new music. Sense of a showdown and finality from a techno-western which is exactly what Lonesome Road is. Fits it perfectly.
My God. I need to start leaving my gear like you when starting dlc.
I love how the DLC allows the major use of eyebots.
Another great lore video from another great UA-camr I have spent 36 hours watching you thanks Oxhorn!
I have to wonder, why are there so many cars in drive in theaters if the War was early in the morning?
Gus Davis maybe they were open 24/7? And a lot of people wanted to get a movie in before work/school? Idk
small bit of continuity error on developers part? I've always had this question too. Throughout all games The wasteland(s) seem(s) frozen in mid-day. People at work in office buildings, wives shopping at Super-Duper-Mart, citizens commuting through traffic or on planes etc.
Gus Davis time zones and shit
Certus Latile Fallout 4 seems to follow suit
Here’s a question I want answered: why are weapons so different on the west coast? Lore wise, I don’t have the slightest clue.
Oh my god how does a voice like this exist... It is a perfect combination of pleasant and gravelly... If I had a voice like this I'd never shut up
Robert cross and his magic is how a voice like this is possible :)
also apparently Because ulysses voice had to be so raspy roger cross had some problems with Voice acting him, i think
ED-E. The best floating robot friend you can ever ask for!
"You can go home, Courier" is not a taunt...
mmmm 200 year old mre
Do do, do do, do: Food stuffs. (Barfing noise)

It's still good.
They should've programmed a function where you have a small chance of contracting botulism whenever you eat canned food, and your survival skill lower the chances even further
not a bad idea
I like how he never uses the cruel options if there isn’t a different response
oxhorn being so soft and gentle when talking to ED-E.... my heart
Ulysses is probably the best character in the entire Fallout universe. He is so deep, and wise somehow. The first time i played the dlc i was hypnotized by his narrative and his stories i love his character.
Isaac I can't see Dominguez Yeah obsidian did a good job making ulysses hes such a good villain that actually has a grudge against you for a reason you dont know at first but that curiosity just drives you forward
Ulysses isn't a villian
Morgan freeman
Mailman edition
the thing i love about the new vegas DLCS are that they are all connected and actually have compelling stories, unlike the fallout 3 and 4 DLCs....
Not everything has to be connected and deep. The Fallout 3 dlcs are pretty good as the Lone Wanderer's mythology
Typical NV fanboi. Hate everything Bethesda, and worship Obsidion.
I love how new Vegas did their dlc and how it's all connected in some way and hint to each other
I'm sick but that means I get to watch ox's new series!
The Cranberry me too!
ED-E is adorable.
I love how nice he is to ED-E, to me he is a very under appreciated companion
*"We see a teddy bear on a slide"* Yes we do.
Oxhorn sure loved watching dora
i wonder if Oxhorn finishes editing a considerable part of the episodes of a series before uploading or is it an edit and upload as it goes on. also if there's a dedicated script or just bullet points and if he works by his lonesome. either way, the fact that he works hard and meticulously shows and i admire him for it.
the dlc intros just keep getting better, i already know the tears will start rolling when this is all over :)) LETS GO
Man, I still get chills with that amazing opening theme
so I did a little digging and I found that the earliest references of cancer, date back to 2500 bc in a document written by ancient Egyptian doctors dealing with breast based cancer symptoms and they seemed to use what sounds like a heated drill to surgically burn it away, but still concluded that it was untreatable in each of these cases. they called the implement a "fire drill" sadly I was unable to figure out what a "fire Drill" was.
I would assume a peace of heated metal or stone or a tool they used to drill with heated like a sword would be when forging. That would probably melt away the cancer. Or even punctured it burning inside and outside. Another would be a piece of wood lit on fire than “drilled” into the cancer. All sound painful tho.
When I first played Fallout New Vegas, I started the Lonesome Road dlc while my character was Level 3, not knowing anything about it other than it was a dlc....I walked out no less than Level 20, just to travel to Big MT immediately after and start the Old World Blues dlc, followed by traveling to the Sierra Madre Hotel. All of this before even playing through the actual game.
ED-E is the fallout equivalent of R2-D2 ( I LOVE IT ) And Palatine would be proud of the new heavy weapon ( DO IT )... ALSO AWESOME VIDEO OXHORN 😀😊

That voice is so chilling! "America is waking" literally gave me goosebumps
To think the Courier just shrugs off nuking a town as if it was a casual Tuesday
Yes! Fallout's best loreman narratoring Fallout's most interesting DLC.
This is going to be a long series.
And soooo worth it
Nah, is going to be shorter than old world blues
eljamaicano1 it’s a rather linear dlc, owb had a ton of side content to work with, this one is literally on a straight path, but it won’t be super short. But I doubt it will be longer than owb
45 minuet minimum for Ulysses's dialogue.
27:01 does anyone think that the pre-recorded message of the woman from ED-E, is talking about colonel autumn from the enclave in fallout 3?!
🤔🤔
This i like
Haven’t seen anything like these DLCs since new Vegas, made every other one sooooooo much better. Was really hoping fallout 4 would have follow the same path 🤦♂️
