I thought from what I learned at the ending of Dead Money, that the courier and the other courier with an old world flag on his back, (Ulysess?), were to meet at the Great Divide. The Big Empty is were you might learn more about the second courier, (Ulysess), because he past through there, possabily leaving clue as to his where abouts now. Then again, for all we know, the second courier could be anyone.
I don't think you understood me.
Ulysess is a Courier who allowed The Courier to take the chip, he is the only reason we can aid any faction as if he didn't pass it down we wouldn't have been compelled to seek Benny.
Ulysess has a past with The Courier apparantly, he has a pre-war flag on his back. The Big Empty is where Ulysess saved Christine and if the Final DLC is the one to actually show Ulysess and have us find out why he allowed the pieces to fall where they did, we will most likely have more than one 'main' location.
There is an overarching storyline in all DLC's as evidenced by Dead Money, but only the last DLC is going to allow us to meet Ulysess. (Most likely, anyhow.)
@Kamino:
SIGH
Lonesome road-canyon wreckage the final dlc no matter what its called takes place at the divide not the big empty.
Honest hearts -you got that one right.
Old World Blues -will be in the big empty!, we may encounter Ulysses there but the final show down with him takes place at the divide mate.
Read my post, Lonesome road is not the final DLC. Just because it is on the Wiki, doesn't make it true.
