Reminder that if you blew his head off you just proved his point

Reminder that if you blew his head off you just proved his point

stopped listening to him after first 2 minutes. i killed simply for making me spam click through so much dialogue

You're a stupid murder hobo and the reason why humanity will never recover from the post-apocalypse

I blew his head off for being a nigger

Not my problem.

This, if he would just fucking shut up we wouldn't have this problem. Every fucking step I take BEAR AND BULL AND BEAR AND BULL AND BEAR AND BULL AND BEAR AND BULL

don't know what game but I'd do the same

I just did this dlc. You niggers really couldnt finish like four conversations, all of which can be cut short with the standard murder hobo response?

What point? The gameplay and writing sucked ass in LR, easily the worst DLC not even made up for with the cool items

chilling with my bro Ulysses while gazing at the Divide after convincing him to not nuke everyone :)

BUCKY?

His only gimmick was skipping the word ''I''. He was a nerd.

Because in the usual Avellone fashion Ulysses confronts the player and gamers hate that. No one wants to feel responsible for their actions in a videogame let alone think about them beyond killing everyone they do not agree with.

I killed you so you cannot talk anymore = refutation. Except you just refused to engage with the story and threw it in a trash bin.

What was his point?

not really.
ulysses's was basically trying to tell the courier that 'actions have consequences'
the only consequence to killing ulysses is that the local insane hobo nigger can't launch nukes or get more people killed.

killing a guy who was about to nuke a place makes you yhe reason things won't recover

What causes this?

Based retard

No one wants to feel responsible for their actions in a videogame

Think about what you just typed. No one WANTS to feel responsible? More like no one's gay enough to feel responsible, it's a fucking video game you dorkus.

Reminder that if you blew his head off you just proved his point

Bear Bull Bear Bull Bear Bull Bear Bull

Waow so true

No one wants to feel responsible for their actions

Ulysses is confronting me about shit I didn't do.

Yeah but my head is still on my shoulders, checkmate atheists.

enemies win if you kill them

Yeah sure buddy.

game about choices and consequences

dlc decides your choices and past history for you

What retard okayed it

achtually courier, by killing me, i win!

Actually I slowed down time and held a chainsaw to his face.

Ulysses confronts the player

Does he? Last I checked he just accused me of some random act that even if I had been involved in wouldn't make me responsible for the divide exploding. This isn't even a choices have consequences thing he's accusing a mailman for causing a school shooting because he delivered the gun to the shooters house, instead of blaming the shooter.

their actions

a big part of why people hate ulysses is that he confronts the player about something that happened before you even 'take control' of the courier

heh, I just kill everyone even though I can philosophically refute them and show them a better way

this will make the world a better place

now that everyone is dead no one can question my actions and make me feel uncomfortable

How the fuck am I gonna write founding a town into my character's canon??

this will make the world a better place

I'm not trying to make the world a better place, Ulysses tried to kill me and so I'll kill him in self defense. This is a survival situation not a debate team.

ooooohh the questions about the predetermined past of the character i'm playing makes me sooooo uncomfortable....

ulyssesfags getting uppity

what would sparing ulysses realistically accomplish?
Bear in mind that this guy responsible for

Elijah learning of the Sierra Madre

The Think Tank waking up from their cognitive loop

The White Legs killing everyone in New Canaan

anything else he did while with the Legion

arguably even responsible for a portion of events from the main game because he refused the Mojave Express job

It ain't even that, the couriers envolvement with the divide begins and ends with delivering the package. Ulysses literally blamed a guy who showed up for a day for causing all his problems l.

Bear in mind

even though I can philosophically refute them and show them a better way

I'm not here to be his therapist.

if you kill me i'm right

uh huh. *vats spam click head*

The Courier should have checked the package. As the one responsible for deliveries you should know the consequences of taking on the job. He made a mistake and other people paid for it. Couriers are the most important people in Fallout and their job is not just being a clueless postman. That's why you are the one to decide who should have the chip.

dead money says killing dean and elijah is correct

honest hearts says killing the white legs is right

OWB says killing the think tank is right

but killing ulysses is wrong somehow

What does killing Ulysses accomplish? He's extremely capable and resourceful. With the right mindset he could be of great use and help rebuild the world.

How would the courier even know that this random tech would set off a bunch if nukes?

and help rebuild the world

Worlds already rebuilt, this ain't Fallout 1.

"I listened to your tapes and basically you're retarded" is the best way to deal with Ulysses imo.

Bullish.

and help rebuild the world

Why do I give a shit? Legit not my problem.

blow your load in the first DLC by using and killing off Elijah

spend the rest of them building up this autistic retard that just shouts BEAR BULL BEAR BULL over and over again when you finally meet

What were they thinking

Who is this? I've seen her posted a couple of times.

Confronts the player for what? My character hadn’t been to the Divide at any point. So ultimately he’s just some retard that set me up to get killed for no reason.

BEAR BULL BEAR BULL BEAR BULL

anyone who tries to convince you ulysses is well-written has literally never played FNV

Avellone really wanted to preach to the player real hard again

the problem with ulysses is that I cant be bothered to care about what he is saying
he's perfectly coherent, even if he's rather pretenious. but I literally could not care less about why he is mad because I dont fucking care about hopeville or its destruction

oh yeah all those pillaged towns and people crucified on the side of the road while drug addicts rape their way through the wasteland is peak civilization
half of the world is still filled with monsters and radiation too

If you kill your enemies they wi-ACK!

Not here to debate him, House doesn't pay me for that

that's because you're a bad person

Meanwhile Sawyers dlc says violence is actually the answer.

Anon there's an entire faction with an average IQ rating of 150 and they're still barely able to get the wasteland together. A nigger that attended Philosophy 101 can do jack shit.

I prefer max charge plasma caster to the noggin

Is that why people go on about the importance of forgiveness and Joshua letting go of his violent past?

oh yeah all those pillaged towns and people crucified on the side of the road

Well ulysses was on the side doing that so...

daily reminder that there is literally no evidence other than Ulysses' insane ramblings that the Divide was settled or had any humans in it until the NCR and Legion started trying to use it to outflank each other

forgiveness

Graham's 'best' ending is more about mercy than forgiveness.

alright, sure, I can live with that
me being a bad person won't un-kill ulysses or un-nuke the ncr and legion though

Right, wrong, I'm the guy with the gun

reminder sawyer also directed Gun Runner's Arsenal.

More moderation. Like you can kill people to protect your home and family, just don’t go apeshit.

Daniel's path is pretty much the 'bad' ending of the DLC though, and he's all about turning the other cheek and running away instead of killing off the White Legs

Unironically The Courier should be a therapist. Helping as many people as he can and talking them down whenever possible. Otherwise you are just a murderer because you could have reached a peaceful resolution but chose not to.

Indeed, as both of those things still happen on the genocide the white legs ending, while this in fact doesn't happen in the leave ending.

He is my brother and my ally we survived and stopped the nukes

I admire your chivalry. However,
I don't care

There's no murder here, het shot at me, killing him was self defense. If he wanted peace he should have started there. It's legit not my job to talk everyone down.

more like i put all my points into combat skills because speech checks are for little gay men
i bet you take arcade as your companion every playthrough huh

Remember when you pull a power switch to open a locked door and "somehow" it immediately launches an armed nuclear warhead and he bitches you out for being so reckless?

Yeah. He wasn't 'confronting' you with anything.

"Please for the love of god role play in a roleplaying game, just think for 2 seconds about what you are doing and why."

UUUUUUUGGGGHH too much fucking dialogue in LR, just let me fucking shoot people shut the fuck up already

because you could have reached a peaceful resolution

Sorry my speech is bellow 100 so I actually couldn't have.

you're doing hte dlc in the wrong order retard

Why make a speech check when you make a guns check?

I taunted him, called him a shizo and killed him and foiled his plan. I do not negotiate with terrorists.

Dead Money has the worst gameplay but the best story. Old World has the best exploration and gameplay but the worst story with reddit tier dialogue. Honest Hearts had both good story and good gameplay but was heavily rushed. Lonesome road had the 2nd best story and having great gameplay but it's extremely sad because you know you're close to finishing New Vegas entirely and you know this is the last time the Fallout series was good.

Oh yeah and every DLC has great environments and art style

Please for the love of god role play in a roleplaying game

chooses to roleplay as a guy who doesn't care

NO NOT LIKE THAT

Fallout New Vegas

Roleplaying game

Good one anon

the couriers envolvement with the divide begins and ends with delivering the package

He explicitly says you're the entire reason the Divide ever grew beyond a few people camping in the ruins, that over years your continued dedication to delivering mail there helped the fledgling community grow from a handful of people to a thriving town. He's blaming you for first making something new and precious, showing him there was a viable third way between NCR and Legion in the process, and THEN being the one responsible for it being taken from the world (and him).

just think for 2 seconds about what you are doing and why

Any rational person would think a guy accusing you of genocide out of the blue is a schizo and worth ignoring.

Is being a reliably courier to an area not the same as oxygen in the lungs?

bro, why didn't you play Old World Blues first even though it came out half a year after Dead Money

Retard

Aika
JAV pornstar

Yeah this.
Its not even le white phosphorus scene.
He coulda made the whole story up for all I know

but killing ulysses is wrong somehow

BEARBULL BULLBEAR

i actually never killed the think tank in all of my many many runs, does the game really say its good to kill them? i'd understand why desu

I really wish you could truthfully say I don't know what the fuck you're talking about and I never worked as a courier before the chip. Avellone was just too caught in up "the courier" as some mythic role.

just do job i am paid to do

guy decides I'm somehow the most important part of thing despite just delivering the mail

Yeah ok

I killed them because robots are abominations science is crutch that keeps humanity weak.
AVE, TRUE TO CAESAR

wake up one day

there’s three new vegas dlcs

When the hell did this happen

Based & same.

Ulysses was a menace. They tried to make him a 2deep4u "do you like hurting other people?" type of moment but as another anon said you pull a switch to open a door and a nuke flies while he patronizes you for what may as well be something he rigged up. While I left a trail of blood and dead people behind my courier Ulysses is towards the very top of the list of those who needed to die for being a faggot and a nigger.

Just about every villain, even Tabitha, I consider to have a better and more believable motive than Ulysses. Thanks for the jacket though.

writer's pet mary sue goes ACK

I would consider it the case since the dlc does all it came to make them out as dangerous and insane even before they were pickle jars and they've only gotten worse.

The real choice is to convince him not to nuke the Mojave, and then nuke both the Dry Wells and Long 15 anyway. If you want something done well, do it yourself.

i remember one of the endings of you sparing them they end up basically being useful tools, since the courier just manipulates them to not be dangerous

Never leave the Siera Madre without every gold bar

I personally take this the same way I take the independence ending, the Courier won't be around forever and I dont personally see myself as a paragon who could run things in a way that's best for everyone.

Character has more depth than Luke Skywalker or Sauron

Gamers shit their pants, get confused, and say they're badly written

Reading through a LR thread should paint a picture as to why games are so gay and lame now.

they were terrible, flawed people as humans

they've devolved into inhuman monsters as brains in jars

even Mobius has his doubts he should ever have done anything to keep them alive and contained because of how horrible they are, he just couldn't go through with killing what was left of his friends

if you don't go out of your way to find some scrap of decency and basic humanity left in them they're all too willing to keep doing horrible things with their newfound freedom

Based? Letting go? Letting go od weakness and showing Elijah the power of human perseverence

as i said before, i'd understand why its good to kill them, but i cant help to just do all the quests in the dlc and then not just killing them
understandable, even if you were a paragon the independence ending its objectively the worst anyways

But I already philosophically refuted him, just like the philosophers of the old.

This.

The correct move is always the Vault Dweller pill. Do what you can to help abd maybe carve out your own place for those you care about. Let the world spin because you can't direct it.

This and then he proceeds to have a schizo spaz out and starts talking like pretentious teenager

i just wanted his jacket

You shot me in the head making me the victor

Ironically the same move the mutants took.

These new governments, they think they've got all the answers. Blah, blah. Been there, seen that, got the scars.

Survival situation

He told you that you can turn back from the divide whenever you want but you continue to go down it anyway.

Too bad, you get the one with the NCR bear and you'll like it.

God i love fallout 2's mutants. Everything about the idea of being able to look back fondly at the masters cause while admitting they lost the ideological conflict is fascinating. Especially when Marcus talks about the Vault Dweller abd how if every human had their resolve the Master wouldn't have been needed.

You get a duster based on who you most align with. If you side with Mr. House you get Ulysses' duster.

You literally become Ulysses if you kill him or if you use the nukes. You're not helping people by killing them, just operating under your own law and being a judge of the wasteland regardless of how it shapes the world. Revenge is useless. If war doesn't change then men have to change.

NCR is the best option. House, Legion and Yes Man are all a complete disaster. Yes, you have to pay taxes, deal with it. Playing the game like a psychotic murder hobo is a waste of time. You might as well join the Powder Gangers and set the civilization back by 200 years.

You have to install a mod to get the House or Independent versions because the way the base game check which reputation you have is utterly retarded. Or you have to metagame by progressing House's questline without touching any NCR or Legion rep.

I didn't do shit until I nuked everybody, he didn't mind me doing that.
This zesty nigger gets sweet as a sugar plum once you're actually guilty of something.

NCR is the best option.

LoL, LMAO even

I get the one with Old World America's flag by doing Yes Man and killing House every time. Pretty sure the 21 is if you don't have enough to qualify for the other three?

You literally become Ulysses if you kill him or if you use the nukes. You're not helping people by killing them,

the help he was asking for was suicide by courier and he got what he wanted

awesome outfits

hell yea-

sleeveless for some retarded reason

and dropped, back to the riot gear I go

You're not helping people by killing them

Well I didn't go all the way there with intent to help Ulysses. In fact at no point in the DLC did helping him cross my mind. Helped a lot of others though by stopping him from setting nukes off.

I think the Strip fame check for House is weird in general because despite controlling the Strip, House is basically separate from it and all the families. How does helping Tommy Torini find acts make Ulysses think you're trying to help House control the Mojave? Got me.

His point being?

Tpbp

LE IF YOU KILL YOUR ENEMIES THEY WIN

sorry I don't subscribe to josh sawyers cuckold ideology, somebody pulling a gun on you means you can blow their brains out in self defense and sleep like a baby feeling utterly satisfied and content knowing you did the right thing

It is weird, because I go out of my way to get full Strip fame. I fill up the Tops, I sort the Ultra-Luxe out, and I get my guy Cachino to run a tight ship with the hoes at the Gomorrah. And I get the Old World Duster every time I go Independent.

There is no proof you're the courier who delivered the nuke button, maybe that nigga is actually projecting

Sounds like england to me

you're in denial

That sounds like a lack of ownership for his emotions and actions desu

even if you did it's literally the equivalent of blaming the mailman for delivering the fertilizer somebody used to make a bomb instead of....you know......the guy who actually made the bomb and blew people up.

It's just not a compelling conflict to begin with

Holy zoom zoom

I simply believe he is a schizo and made everything up. I still don't kill him because I feel bad for him for being so stupid.

If House won't pay me extra for delivering his invaluable platinum chip, then I also won't bear responsibility for nuke detonator delivery bullshit.

if your fledgling post apocalyptic society is dependent on the charity of a single postal worker to exist that's kind of embarrassing and is more an indictment of your own failings than anything else. the bombs fell 200 fucking years ago. Even bronze age city states weren't utterly dependent on ONE nigga with a mailbag

I killed Ulysses, launched both nukes and then got the rest of the people enslaved by Caesar. Not all heroes wear capes.

Do people even keep tabs on their murder count while playing the game? Or do they just mindlessly mow down everyone without even thinking about how many deaths could have been prevented?

How many people roleplay as a reasonable good guy in their head but needlessly take hundreds of lives?

if five guys who moved into some crumbling buildings 10 years ago need mail what is civilization even DOING?!

bear

if your fledgling post apocalyptic society is dependent on the charity of a single postal worker to exist that's kind of embarrassing

mr house and ncr in shambles

babies first edgelord murder hobo fantasy, you'll grow up some day

His point isn't gonna do him much good with his brains all over the floor

skipped all his dialogue

blew his head off

How is he right?

if they need mail so badly they can become couriers themselves
how are these impoverished retards able to afford the fees to hire a wasteland courier and the actual packages they're delivering but they can't be mailmen themselves?

WE'VE TRIED NOTHING AND WE'RE ALL OUT OF OPTIONS!

the pip boy tracks it for me

The mail service has killed millions.

IF YOU KILL ME, I WIN-- ACK!

Cry harder faggot. All NCR scum must die.

needlessly

NPC starts shooting at me

I turn him into a pile of green glowing goo

"WTF WHY DIDN'T YOU TRY TO TALK TO HIM YOU DIDN'T NEED TO KILL HIM"

Literally not my problem if some jet addicted junkie thought charging at the guy in power armor was a smart move

If I murder someone with a chainsaw
Is Hilti at fault?

I go out of my way to resolve everything I can peacefully, and if I have to kill, I either do it as cleanly as I can or as properly as I can. I always give Benny a fighting chance in the arena. Machetes at twenty paces.

My complete understanding of Ulysses is that he's a whiny little bitch that doesn't really know what to believe in anymore and is to much of a coward to kill himself. He's literally our guy.

How many people roleplay as a reasonable good guy in their head

I roleplay as a fixer being paid to do shit that my employer either can't do or doesn't want their name on, which is what the Courier is

I don't giver the slightest of a fuck about preventing deaths
the less mouths there are to feed, the less scarcity there is

IF YOU KILL ME, YOU'RE JUST AS BAD AS I - ACK!

based and Linpilled

He's also a massive contrarian, so that checks out

The only thing Mobius did wrong was care too much. One of the few good souls left within the carcass of the old world and the garbage nation state that killed it.

I get depressed every time I talk to him. How dementia and drug abuse has absolutely destroyed him.

The funniest thing about Ulysses is that he doesn't even blame or hate you
He hates himself first and foremost
His last recording is pretty friendly to you
Ulysses respects your stubbornness, Courier keeps going no matter what, something Ulysses couldn't do
He doesn't mind dying because he died with The Divide

This could have been Hopeville if you just cared enough about the world around you to check one package

Even if you never pull the trigger and only let your companions kill people in self defense, even passing every speech check to avoid as many battles as possible, at the very least hundreds of idiots will die because you survived the bullet to the head.
If you think this way the only moral thing to do is to jump back into the grave and have Victory rebury you

Couriers aren’t allowed to open packages.

You haven't really put a lot of thought into this, have you. If they're receiving mail then someone, somewhere else, probably in NCR, is paying to send things to them. They are not existing in complete isolation when a mailman turns up and demands money from people living in a ruin. And if they have people sending them letters and/or supplies then they can send letters and/or supplies back for cash on delivery. And then it progresses from there.

Also let's not pretend you'd ever personally volunteer to be a courier in a desert wasteland and have to walk dozens of miles in baking heat dodging mutant wildlife and the odd bandit just to deliver mail for peasant pay just because "um but it's a niche our community needs!!!". You'd be the lazy fuck whining someone else should be the incredibly important link to civilization constantly risking life, limb and comfort.

is that why there's no groin targeting in this game?

BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN
IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT

IT'S YOUR FAULT GAMER, YOU BOUGHT THE GAME AND ALLOWED THE COURIER TO POSSIBLY DO THINGS HE MAY HAVE DONE IN THE PAST YOU SHOULD'VE JUST UNPLUGGED THE CONTROLLER

At least spec ops forced players to do something to progress in the game they paid real dollars for before trying to make them feel bad. I don't give a fuck what the courier might've done before I bought the game, wasn't me and I wont feel bad.

there still isn't a mod about rebuilding Hopeville and turning it into a prospering community

Sub-human IQ

It is rare that I entirely agree with a post

rebuilding

Dude
Wind in Divide is skinning people alive

just "rebuilding" the giant gash in the ground, the insane radiation levels and the potential hordes of tunnelers still deep underground

At best you could turn off the Big MT weather machine that keeps the perpetual, skin flaying storm going

ghouls and super muties are among the few that are capable of seeing these wasteland societies play out their rise and falls in real time

with no real way to replenish their numbers eventually most of them will disappear into the ether or succumb to dementia, schizophrenia or just eating smoothskins until they get brained by some wasteland shitter

still no vidya that has you playing as one going from the early days of the fall to now

The entire premise is wasted on a company that takes literal decades at a time just to shit out half brained concepts for money.

You could go the Dust route and make the Mojave so miserable The Divide seems good in comparison

Sole Survivor could fix it

ideally

No. If you want your entire playthrough to be walking from place to place clicking speech options and nothing else, you do that, but it's not even close to ideal.

unlike seething Anon Babbleaggots here I agree with this principle

confronts the player and gamers hate that. No one wants to feel responsible for their actions

thing is with lonesome road it really does not come out as that since courier is accused of things the player never actually did. For an actually good dilemma that makes a player with two braincells think about their actions see cyberjunk 77 phantom liberty. Both choices are deep grey paths with inherent tragedy no matter what happens despite how much the player might ponder about the conundrum

I usually have around 1-2k kills after a playthrough, I only kill those who are hostile to me.

Boston hardly got hit
The only reason it's such a shithole at the time of the game is because a bunch of Minuteman joined the Gunners and basically destroyed several major cities

murking wasteland trash for loot

poaching untold amounts of wildlife just from going A to B selling off the goods

implications based on certain quest lines if you don't complete them in a timely fashion

And in other news jury rigging is such a mandatory perk you'd wonder how you ever truly lived without it. I don't consider Fiends and Legion hit squads as human just walking bags of wealth waiting to be cracked open. Being a gun runner never felt so good.

rebuilding

he fell for it

Nate casually stumbling into the Divide and just acting like it's another settlement to rebuild would be the funniest shit

Why does the Legion treat their slaves so poorly? Historically it is very inaccurate to how slaves were usually treated, and Caesar is well read on history.

Historically it is very inaccurate to how slaves were usually treated

Roman mine slaves had a life expectancy measured in months, the fuck are you talking about nigger

casually scraping all of the blown out sections for mats

flattens the central region for planting and homesteading

won't ever be comfy since the weather still phases through walls because exterior cells are dogshit for setting up shop in

Probably because the Legion isn't a historical recreation focused on accuracy.

It's almost as if no video games are historically accurate
It's almost like they're trying to rewrite history

otherwise you are just a murderer because you could have reached a peaceful resolution but chose not to

So if someone shoots at me and wants to kill me, I'm a murderer for killing them instead of possibly talking them down?

Caesar treats Arcade pretty well, and the soldier who owned the gay guy from the whorehouse treated him as nice as somebody who essentially owns a sex slave can.

I talked him down then just nuked the NCR anyway.

game suddenly starts hitching and halting

no changes but driver updates

What flat earth-tier group have you been hanging out with to come up with this nonsense?

caesar was in love with arcade

But the funny mentats man would be lonely if I killed his unhinged friends

killing people who kills people makes you equally bad

brainlet take

He's got his AI buddies in the Sink

nothing he says has any merit

NCR bad, because... uh thry have same faults as old world democracy

Legion bad, but I worked for them and still technically am a Frumentari

House bad because old world = bad

tried to suck of Brotherhood of Steel only to realize they are just as retarded and despite hoarding every technology they can they can only best inferior foes

sucks off some mythical society that forming in the divide until off screen they died

no really what the fuck so special about it, NCR stronghold and legion faggots at each other's throats

BUT YOU the player must decide and stick to it

you really don't need DLC to make a decision

i shot him for being an annoying gaylord and then nuked both NCR and Legion

no really what the fuck so special about it

Special enough for the NCR to nuke them pre-emptively. I don't recall what exactly in particular because I played this shit over a decade ago but I do vaguely remember they were technologically advanced like the brotherhood/enclave from reverse engineering what was in the bunkers which puts them way ahead of both the NCR and legion.

Based problem creator

has a chimp out because people braided their hair

a reasonable good guy

I just don't take shit. It's the wasteland, you shoot at me, I shoot at you. You talk to me like a dickhead, I do it back. I don't go around murdering innocent people but I wont refrain from shooting a retard for mouthing off.

We dont have time for this idiot. CHARGE!

YOU'LL PROVE THIS POORLY WRITTEN CHARACTER RIGHT!

Cool, who can I cash out this Fuck to? It'll have to be an IOU because I'm out of them.

Shouldn't he have been mad at the guy who ordered the package instead of the retard who delivered it?

NVtrannies praise NV for having a "blank slate" character background over fallout 3 as it makes it a "real RPG"

have to eat shit when obsidian releases lonesome road and niggershit on their blank slate

They are still coping about their awful DLC

The missiles rained like spears down on the land, burning flags and communities alike... destroying all they struck. The history of the West was erased for the second time, thorough and complete... and America slept once more.

youtube.com/watch?v=t-dKOab29P8

make a glorified rail shooter DLC

add a preachy nigger to it where all the "conversations" are one sided

this is a role playing game to retards

no wonder WRPGs died

Because logistics workers, despite being """essential personnel""" are still being treated like dogshit.

I used to love listening to him as a teen.
As an adult you should realize he is fkn stupid and 2deep4you in the worst ways possible.
youtube.com/watch?v=ahzAIxgCVZg&t=4m35s

if people are paying to send mail to them, and they are paying to mail things back, that means nothing stops either the people they're mailing things to OR them from being the ones delivering mail themselves. if there is so much demand for couriers and they have the means to pay for them they can also just be mailmen themselves. that's the whole point.

no really what the fuck so special about it

The TL;DR I got I from it is that he saw the community in the divide as a truly unique civilization/culture that would throw off any remnants of the old world and move forward as its own unique entity, rather than latching onto ancient symbols without understanding their actual meaning.
Then some faggot blew it all up, with you as the unwitting proxy.

nuke them pre-emptively.

it was 100% an accident because the NCR was fucking around with Enclave stuff wantonly.

It's about RPGs as a whole you dumb dipshit retard.
It's Chris Avellone telling you to role play when you play a role playing game.

I don't care.

kills him

nukes the divide again so he can fight the ebin deathclaw

slavery cultures revolving entirely around psychotic sadism wasn't real TV brain

I dunno how people can be open minded enough to think like aztecs and carthage doing human sacrifices was probably culturally normalized somehow but working for food and shelter in near-subsistence cultures wasn't

the marked men were cool, though.
I like the dichotomy of them clinging to their old symbols -- ncr cling to their guns, legion constructs idols to lanius

I thought it was the legion that mailed the nuke.

I proved that the end of my BMGs are pointy

Kill yourself Sawyer

resolving your conflict with ulysses and teaming up army of two style against the marked men at the end and preventing nukes from launching is kino
fuck people who disagree they're just contrarians

his point was that the big three players in the wasteland all have old world blues and are going to repeat the same mistakes as the past, i don't see how blowing his head off affirms his point. unless you're saying it affirms "war never changes," but i mean one guy killing another guy isn't really war. maybe in the figurative sense of a clashing of two ideals or something, idk.

what people don't like is that he is blaming the character currently being controlled by the player for actions the character took before being controlled by the player.

it never really came up in kotor 2 because the entire reason kreia endorses your past actions, she just doesn't know why you took them.

if that's how you enjoy games then no one can tell you what is or isn't fun for you. but it's a role playing game and if you're trying to play the role of anything but a murder hobo, you'd probably feel some responsibility for past actions.

it never really came up in kotor 2 because the entire reason kreia endorses your past actions, she just doesn't know why you took them.

jesus i had a stroke. ignore "the entire reason"

muh basado slaverino culturino -

Watched American Krogan's video series on Jews, the Visigoths, and slavery.

if you kill your enemies, they win

The ncr didn't nuke it, though. The Divide was a fucking ncr settlement! Ulysses blames the "old world" for its destruction because the ncr wanted to arm the nuclear weapons still stored there to use against the legion, but sabotage (implciitly from the legion, but some people speculate enclave) caused a premature detonation.

Because in the usual Avellone fashion Ulysses confronts the player and gamers hate that. No one wants to feel responsible for their actions in a videogame let alone think about them beyond killing everyone they do not agree with.

I genuinely did not understand what the fuck I did. I delivered a package to a town, it's not my fault it had a bomb. I felt worst for messing with the Kings, at least they looked cool and I was an active participate.

He was just Unbearable

ulysses scapegoats the player. it shocks me how few people understand that he's blaming the player for his own actions, he was the saboteur and he copes with that by pinning it all on the unwitting mailman who delivered the nuclear codes

blacks do more damage to a civilization than nuclear bombs do. So It's not hatred, it's self defense.

To be fair it's a video game. This isn't like real life where you might get mugged or something walking home, in games you are actively seeking trouble. What makes your character special is somehow you can rise above the troubles.
"Yes, US Postal Service, it's Fischer. Why didn't you look at the Unabomber package towards my dad?
What, you had millions of packages, and you don't have time to open each one of them up? That putting bombs into packages is so rare that one guy is famous for doing it? That it's invasion of privacy? Go fuck yourself asshole"

human had their resolve the Master wouldn't have been needed.

I just wandered town to town, talked to people and planted a bomb. I'm not a superhero, I'm just a dude.

Super-human IQ

die nigger

His whole gimmick would have been great if we could have done it.
Make a free DLC where we deliver stuff to the place call Divide. Then get it blown up. Or just have something similar to the Divide happen in game, so we can see the consequences to our actions. You cannot make me feel guilty doing something I didn't even do!

as a dumbass 13 year old I comprehended genuinely none of what he was saying and resolved early on to murder him for making me play through what i perceived to be the shittiest DLC in the game

What does killing Ulysses accomplish?

One less annoying asshole in the world.

Yes, you have to pay taxes, deal with it

You're missing the entire point of the politics of each faction if paying taxes was the issue. Especially since Legion/House has their own form of taxes (military service/actual taxes and gambling/enforcers at the casinos)
The difference between them is how is the societal hierarchy structure, social mobility, civil/military law and cultivation of new generations.

It's why of all the things to complain about new california doing, its epilogue leading straight into the divide was actually a good idea because the player does, indeed actually DO the thing he's accused of doing in lonesome road.

What is history but a bunch of dudes doing stuff?

Because that would distract from the message of the Legion.

you just proved his point

who is going to know? he's dead and Im not telling anyone. he's forgotten and Im still a legend. no story tellers are going to be telling a story about how he was right, its just going to be about how I saved the world

He proved my point by trying to launch a nuke. Actions have consequences but the true measure of a man is how you live with the consequences

Because like with the NCR they are copying an old system and are missing aspects about them due to said information about them probably not existing anymore

Dead Money has the best gameplay

not just a smaller, worse version of the same open world gameplay

makes use of all the rpg systems and offers a lot of varied options, almost approaching immersive sim territory

I’m not your Courier I dindu nuffin!

Sure, accuse me of something my character accidentally did offscreen and I had no control over and say you're going to nuke some people because BEAR & BULL, great writing, retard. Avellone is such a 70 IQ pseud, holy shit.

smelly black bitch lingering on a rock is such a good future for him

feel responsible for their actions in a videogame

That might hold some weight if it was about things I actually did in the game. And you're obviously wrong because people loved Undertale and Spec Ops for doing just that exact thing.

t. 60 IQ psued who didn't notice that he's lying

I've sent rockets to both outposts for more unique loot

What would change if he lied? The DLC just matters even less if he did and becomes 100% filler with no substance.

You dont need to treat your slaves with care when you dont buy them but capture random people in the wild

Really I don't think this has ever worked on me in any game that actually lets you choose to not cuck out. Revenge is based and some people should just be dead.

I killed him because I don't give fuck about him and I nuked the Legion because he helped them.

Growing up is realizing all new vegas DLCs are bad

I'm going to kill you now Courier

oh and btw if you try to shoot back at me in defense you actually have just proved my le point

Amazing point of view. Let's up the stakes, shall we? The player should edit every single cell of New Vegas (and FO3 while we're at it) to make sure every single person is happy, every evil person becomes good, and there was no nuclear war. Because he can do it, he's morally obliged, right?

Interesting, however: I have no obligation to go out of my way to help some retard who wants to kill me. I am not suicidially altruistic.

morality is the blanket decision that every human life has value, no matter how contrived or how much evidence may suggest otherwise

(You)r character did it's fucking job and delivered a package without ever possibly knowing what it could be, before the game even started

package was a trigger for a nuke

place gets nuked

chimp out at player because "YOU DID THIS! REEEEEEEEEE"

CHOCOLATE BAAAAAAANE

Might makes right.

I killed him because he's a nigger. I didn't need a reason beyond that.

I killed him because he was a nigger
I dont even know what the story of the dlc was

mash 1 so the dialog ends faster

kill all the deathclaws

kill the nigger

apparently a nuke was fired somewhere (idc)

leave the dlc with an upgraded ED-E

thats all I know/care

A lot of western pseudo philosophy falls apart in the face of violent savages.

you should be peaceful and understand your enemies

they violently kill you anyways

Empathy is a strong man’s privilege

BEAR N BULL BEAR BULL

was he a Anon Babble fag?

but then I miss out on content

Raw attitude

midwit thinks this tard is deep

Don't care.

He's annoying.

there's a mod that turns it into an accessory you can wear over other outfits, which was pretty kino

I talked him down, but he is still a massive faggot.

The better thread in Lonesome Road was Ulysses look at history and how it's lost over time, ready to make the same mistakes again
The whole Courier 6 backstory and meta commentary are wack, it just isn't meant for New Vegas

They... had taken my braids, the way of the Twisted Hairs, as if it showed they were like me, of me... ...while every knot in their braids spoke of raping, violence - and ignorance of what the knots meant. They thought to show respect... defiled it. Lost myself in trying to read the braids they wove, when I remembered they had put no meaning in it. They had no history of what it meant. They didn't even know the insult in the twists, knots... and Dry Wells came rushing back, the White Legs circled like that... It was like looking at the dead of my tribe, reborn as ghosts - hateful, hungry, bowing to Caesar. Another history... gone, carried by me alone.

What point was that? I blew his head off before he had a chance to tell me.

make amazing dlcs

then make this garbage

lonesome road more like eat a dick

play RPG game

character is a blank slate for the player to come up with their own story

UM NO AKSHUALLY YOU TOTALLY BOMBED THIS PLACE THAT YOU DIDN'T REMEMBER AND UHHH ITS YOUR FAULT BECAUSE UHHHH FUCK YOU

no I don't think so, get bent nigger

This is hands down the best piece of writing in LR and I'm one of the few that loves the DLC. Spells out the theme and Ulysses delusions in one fell swoop.
A man too caught up in trying to read symbols, that understands full well that symbols mean nothing without the beliefs of the men behind them, but being so blinded by the loss of his own symbols he doesn't realize he's guilty of the same crime.

Historically it is very inaccurate to how slaves were usually treated

they got whipped daily, executed at any whim of their master, you're fucking stupid

this pistol doesnt have a thermal clip

Theyre fucking slaves, what you think theyre going to be treated like royalty? These are the same dudes who (supposedly) nailed the son of god himself and let him die on a giant cross

the son of God himself

You say that as if they didn't believe such words were blasphemy

hehe, i bet you feel REEEAAAL bad about being an amoral monster !

*quick loads*

NOOOOOOOOO YOU CANT REVERT YOUR ACTIONS NOOOOOOOOO THE CONSEQUENCES NOOOOOOOOOO FEEL BAD YOU'RE A MONSTER

but I didnt do anything lmao, it literally ceased from existence the moment I reloaded

Undertale is pseud garbage but the one thing it did that I actually liked was that it did acknowledge things that happened in prior saves. Unless you delete your appdata faggotale folder that is

Normally bait threads are shit, but I like this one.
