Either Straight if your a girl or homosixual if your a guy.
now this is not confirmed but here is the statement from the fallout wiki page and i quote,
"In an article written before Ulysses was revealed to the rival courier, a journalist for the Cape Cod Times claims to have discovered that the rival courier is the author of the canyon wreckage graffiti, and is the Courier's former lover, seeking some sort of revenge on the player character. The journalist also states that the rival courier knows something about the player character's missing family, and that it was they who somehow set the Courier up to be ambushed by Benny in Goodsprings Cemetery[8], although the veracity of this source has not been verified"

Now i have no problem with my character being homosixual but i wouldnt wanna be running around the divide, big empty, the mojave, and everywhere else only to find out that i never really knew myself lmao
let me know if you think this will be true or just another fake statement, and how you would react to this if it is true.

ps. idk about you guys but i know as soon i see ulysses im gonna put plenty of c4 around him along with enough mines and treat em like tenpenny on top of that useless tower. =]

It was all Benny to "kill" the courier to get the chip

I feal like that person a troll

It went from him and courier having a relationship(Dosent mean lovers) to lovers I think this person has there facts wrong...

I guarantee that that source saw "Courier and Ulysses had a relationship" and interpreted it to mean they were lovers, like a lot of people on this forum, instead of realizing it simply means they have a past together.

Why people against The Courier being gay if male?
Does it matter?

Read my second post.

I roleplay a straight guy. A straight pedo, but straight none the less.

and Bisixual girl (ghouls too!)

and an asixual/necrophiliac male.

So, yes. That's a problem for me. But like they said above it's probably a misunderstanding from the OP.

Because it forces your character into a certain sixual orientation that you may not want to play as; it's simply a matter of removing player choice.
I don't have anything against gay people, and I'l play a gay character if that's what they force the Courier into, but in a game like Fallout that's all about player choice affixing your background svcks from an RP standpoint.

This is just a rumor from some person that completely misinterpreted everything.

I don't like the idea of having any background story at all myself but if there is a good reason for it then I dunno, wouldn't mind it too much.
And like, say that this homosixual relationship was just a phase?
Maybe it was just a one time thing?
Maybe the relationship was very non-sixual and both characters while still having affection for each other never made a real move on either one.

Just cause a relationship is put in the background story does not mean your character "have to be" bi or gay.
Lots of ways it could be handled.
It'd still force an event onto your character but if it's an important aspect in the real main story then I don't see much of a problem with it.

Exactly, it doesn't mean you're characters gay, but whoever writes this stupid stuff up thinks it does.

Do not trust the wikia

Always

^This. Always remember this.

Never trust a news source that can be edited by any and every troll to wander in. This is just like that "8 DLC" posting- complete BS.

Whoops, double posted somehow...

What some aren't thinking about is, What the other courier has against our character could be just that. Depending on our choice. Basically depending on how the relationship ended you could say that ulysses was the instigator of the relationship and our character didn't want to.

Oh on a side note, after I completed dead money I kinda was reminded about veronica's friend and what christina said about elijah (sp?) that he took someone away from her. Got me think that christina and veronica where together untill elijah messed things up. anyone else get that?

Given how this entire situation checks out, I am 100% positive this is the case. It doesn't appear that we'll ever get explicit confirmation, but seriously, a woman with a female lover who was seperated from her by Elijah and is in the Brotherhood of Steel isn't Veronica's lover? As if.
Honestly, I think after hearing her story, if the player has talked to Veronica about it and has high perception and intelligence, should have been able to tell Christine and tell Veronica. I thought the whole thing with Veronica's response to Elijah was handled poorly too, but oh well.

For the subject, relationship does not mean lovers. This source is mistaken, and I don't see them making a concrete sixual identity for the Courier especially with the perks for the sixual orientations.

Well, it'd certainly make my character hitting on Cass make less sense.

And extorting Joanna for six too.

And sleeping with Red Lucy several times. And don't forget that agoraphobic Weintaub girl.

Well, just because you are into homosixual relationship don't mean you forfeit the opportunity to reproduce

Is it not implied in the word homosixual? A truly gay person does not sleep with the opposite six...hence no reproduction, now bisixual that gives the opportunity to reproduce :wink_smile:

You got shot in the head; you can come back from that a totally different person (frontal lobe damage), in addition to memory loss. It wiped the slate clean.

Now, having a past come back at you, one which you don't have any idea about, provides cool storytelling ideas, and many questions for existential things like, 'Am I me? Am I someone else? Am I that person if I have no memory of it?'

"Relationship" never implied sixual orientation... it was not explicitly decribed what type of relationship, ie. Business, sixual, Personal, Family, simply trusted friends, competitive ? OP merely assumed it was sixual.

Besides I made a Female character (me being male player). I found it funny that "she" gotten more "choices", infact more female love interests (chr 7, speech/barter 80, +perks). I mean my Male character with Lady Killer got hardly any additional dialogues in the game... seems to be a double standard here anyways. I even picked my male character's Comfirmed batchler and gotten more salty cat calls and even called buttercup in passing... *twitch, twitch* - yea I reloaded and chose another PERK, yea... *shivers* Before you think otherwise, I was hoping it included buddy buddy stuff for better barter deals and access but... wow, not what I expected.

Back to the topic, I believe "Relationship" with the Courier was made generic enough not to imply sixual orientation; game won't know what type of character you are going to make. OP just assumed?

when hesaid relationship, he probably ment lovers. if he ment friends, he would have said good companions or something of that sort

when he said relationship, he probably ment lovers, if he wanted 2say friends he would have said good companions or something of that sort

thats true. NV has a lot of homosixuality in it. there some other things in the game that support this but i cant remember. if any one add some things about there being a lot of homosixuality in the game please reply 2 this because my brother & i were just talking about this the other day.

i didn't mean 2put down replys. and i remember the other things that show alot of homosixuality in the game was that there are perks were u can flurt with same six characters, like confirmed bachelor

This was quite the unnessesary revive.
