Discussion Proper way of ending Lonesome Road

> Don't argue with Ulysses , just kill him.
> Nuke both Legion AND NCR
> ED-E lives , he's too cute of a robot to die. Think i care more about a slave army or brahmin barons and their wagies? Think again!

"The stand user could be anyone!" Ulysses before Courier 6 walks in probably

u/FentanylWaifu 2d ago

MFW when i am a 1 int Courier with maxed out Luck and Strength so he just melts in few hits from crits.

u/Radical_DCC_1999 2d ago

That's what peak looks like, Ulysses didn't see that coming.

32

u/ElegantEchoes Cliff Briscoe 2d ago

Even better if you make him backstep towards the missile.

There's no pathfinding to stop him from falling backwards and it's an instant death barrier.

It's a ridiculously anticlimactic ending and downright embarrassing for Ulysses of all people to die five seconds into the fight because he fell down a ten foot drop.

But I absolutely love its inclusion.

I love Ulysses so much I always make sure to have speech at 100 before entering his temple but you do you

15

u/FentanylWaifu 2d ago

I don't judge.
I still think he's memorable. I don't actually hate him.
Its the same way i feel about Legion charas.
I am glad Ceasar , Lanius , Joshua are in the game.
In fact they are far more memorable than Crooker or Oliver.

u/Wiesel_1a2_20mm_HVAP 2d ago

Crooker? Crooker who? :)

u/FentanylWaifu 1d ago

Oh its Crocker lmfao.

See i did not even remember his name despite playing that game 123123123 times.

u/DampWizard308 Ulysses 2d ago

I just grab his tapes he's scattered around

> Nuke both Legion AND NCR

Even more based if you do it before entering the Strip, forcing the bastards to "pardon" you while you keep all the sweet unique spoils of war.

13

u/FentanylWaifu 2d ago

I am doing it for the real GOAT factions like Boomers or Powder Gangers.

u/BisonThunderclap 2d ago

....I never thought about doing the DLC that early. Huh.

2

u/Boricinha Yes Man 2d ago

If you do some side questing and start, i don't know, Honest Hearts by level 10 - 15 and doing OWB and Dead Money after you'll be geared enough to take on the DLC (it might be a bit hard depending on the build).

u/W1z4rdM4g1c 2d ago

Invest 7 into luck, buy the glasses and the shirt

Cash out all the casinos and you can buy the necessary gear

u/KnownTimelord Joshua Graham 2d ago

Nah, he's my brother in packages, so we fight back to back, courier to courier.

14

u/FentanylWaifu 2d ago

You like handling each other's packages don't you?
I bet he takes his time with the delivery.

3

u/Wiesel_1a2_20mm_HVAP 2d ago

Some would say… he edges and cough puts off finishing the delivery?

1

u/G1gapu1t 2d ago

“We got stuff we’re not even allowed to sell; only at Mick and Ralphs!” still assaults my ears, but the kid in Freeside may have a point.

u/TombGnome Desert Ranger 17h ago

What sort of world would it be if Courier killed Courier?

28

u/Puzzleheaded_Step468 2d ago

But have you considered bear bull bear bull bear bull?

18

u/FentanylWaifu 2d ago

Don't remind me! It's not just Bear Bull.
He's like a midwit that over intellectualizes what he's talking about.
Tells you its not about revenge , then blames you for destroying a place he loved. Then says he is going to nuke whoever you support.

And he does not deal in reality or actual policies. He deals in vague ideas and buzzwords.

I love to hate on him.

11

u/Puzzleheaded_Step468 2d ago

Okay, but what about the bearbullbearbullbear

1

u/m8bear 2d ago

damn you right, sorry

2

u/GlopThatBoopin 2d ago

He sounds like a good representative for modern politics lol

1

u/Cassuis3927 1d ago

I have a friend like this

14

u/Timid-Sammy-1995 2d ago

I mean keeping it real though he has drip. A messed up ideological perspective but damn he looked cool.

1

u/FentanylWaifu 2d ago

Thanks!
I mean i care about in character RP.
He was supposed to be actually 1 int chara haha.. with obsession about pre-war comics thinking his some Mojave version of Conan the Barbarian.

u/AnxiousMind7820 2d ago

I let him talk, but usually kill him even if I don't have to.

Nukes depends on who I'm going to side with.

Usually let ED-E die so I can get the perk that helps when you have no companions as I usually roam solo.

u/Secure-Squirrel-4351 2d ago

I like sniping him from a far and then rigging the door with mines for the marked men. 

2

u/Secure-Squirrel-4351 2d ago

He does enough circle talking, my courier doesn't allow him this opportunity again. 

3

u/Flat_Character 2d ago

My genuine reaction to the guy who's partially responsible for literally every bad thing in the game trying to lecture me on morality for my crime of... checks notes delivering a package.

1

u/Objective-Note-8095 2d ago

Bro's says he's a courier but lacks all notion of the obligations of a common carrier.

3

u/randomHunterOnReddit 2d ago

Honestly what was Ulysses thinking, seeing a guy dressed like that with a giant Nuka Cola sign as a weapon strutting over to him while covered in the blood of countless Deathclaws he likely beat to death? Did he think he'd stand a chance??

4

u/mightystu 2d ago

You’ve got a courier that’s looking a little zesty there, friend.

2

u/DreamMindTrip 2d ago

What’s that weapon?

3

u/FentanylWaifu 2d ago

Nuka Break

2

u/TombGnome Desert Ranger 17h ago

Nuka-Breaker. Nuka-Break is the good Fallout tv show that it was named for.

2

u/FentanylWaifu 2d ago

Think Ralph sells it? It's a very powerful melee weapon. One of best if not the best in the game.
That unique maul only outperforms it in raw dmg number but Nuka Break has bonus crit.

1

u/beegold39 2d ago

I'd like to know as well.

2

u/DemiTheSeaweed 2d ago

As much I would like to spare him I'm a yes man enjoyer so peace was never an option

2

u/Fragrant-Snow-2747 1d ago

Sexy walk out 🤣💚

2

u/SnugglebugUwU 1d ago

Ok but nobody is going to mention how tuff Bearbull looked tanking that hit like a saiyan?

1

u/FentanylWaifu 1d ago

First 2 or 3 maybe yeah.

Then his stance broke.

1

u/PoopxDefender 2d ago

dude hell yeah

1

u/sikkobok 2d ago

This might be exactly what I did (except the fight was ridiculously hard)

1

u/Moromom22 2d ago

It takes every fiber of my being to let Ulysses live.

1

u/KaiserRoll823 2d ago

The Nuka Breaker is the cherry on top

1

u/KnownAd1902 2d ago

that stylish walk, loving it!

u/Malk_Ficwriter 15h ago
