Doesn't look like a trailer will release today, but here is the new holotape http://cdnstatic.gamesas.com/bethblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Ulysses_BigMT_0002.mp3

Why does he talk like this?

Probably injured, that or a really cruddy recorder.

seems to me he is choosing his words carefully.. mulling each one over before he speaks it......


he reminds me of kurtz (marlon brandos character) from apocolypse now.....

Kurtz used complete sentences.

Can anyone write down everything he said in the holotapes here?
Im pretty decent in understanding english and all ( not native speaker ) ,but listening and understanding it is hard for me.

Thanks

already listening to it ya beat me to it.

Big MT….there something hidden there…..a crater…… past wind and sand….. so deep in the desert there’s no turning back. Finding the crater was an accident…. was following the weather patterns. The divide sky torn like that…. mans violence, not natures. That violence in the sky had a source…. tracked it, like following a river current. Left the colors to mark my way, like always…. in case some finds them, learns the pattern… the courier might. But I thought sand and wind would never end….. came to the crater and there.. there.. was an old world facility… a weather station, at the edge…still raking the sky with electricity and generators…...and beyond it, saw the rest of the old world hell there… all carved up like garden plots. Had to see what was there, couldn’t leave it be. Things sleep in the big MT….. the brotherhood woke them up….. can’t move quiet anymore than the two headed bear can. And when they woke up, it was like all of history waking up at once. Almost didn’t make it out….. almost. Left with answers I never intended.

Based on what he's saying, Big Mountain's Weather Station is what is causing the storms at the Divide. The weather station kicked up as a result of Elijah, likely.

so does ulyssess.... he just has pauses... heavy pauses.... while he gathers his thoughts......

No, he's leaving out entire parts of speech.

'Big Empty, there's something hidden there. A crater, past wind and sand, so deep in the desert. There's no turning back. Finding the crater was an accident, was following the weather patterns, the Divide sky torn like that, mans violence, not natures. That violence in the sky had a source, tracked it like following a river current. Left the colors to mark my way, like always, case someone finds them, learns the patterns. The Courier might. But I thought sand and wind would never end. Came to the Crater, and there, there was an Old World facility. A weather station at the edge, still raking the sky with electricity and generators. And beyond it, saw the rest of the Old World Hell there, all carved up like garden plots. Had to see what was there, couldnt leave it be. Things sleep in the Big Empty. The Brotherhood woke them up, can't move quiet any more than the Two Headed Bear can. And when they woke up, it was like all of history waking up at once. Almost didnt make it out, almost. Left with answers I never intended.'


(There MIGHT be a few slip ups, but I tried as best I could )

Edit: Ninja'd :sadvaultboy:

i dont think elijah had anything to do with the storms in the divide.......

it seems to me that the divide is where hopeville is and the note outside the Y-0 research center mentions a meteorological experiment that went horribly wrong.....


also, it is important to note the notes on both the X-17 meteorological station and hopeville found on the wikivault.....

I agree with that. There is nothing to do with Father Elijah.

It was cause some weather experiment after the Great War.

not sure what you mean by "entire parts of speech".......

do you mean some of his speech was missing or that he ignored grammer rules while speaking.....

umm.. wow...

thats quite an... interesting..... transcription

Never mind with that. Someone already do that.

There also two factions mention about his speech, the Brotherhood( Brotherhood of Steel) and Two headed bear can(NCR).

There was one period used in that speech, and it was to end it. He doesn't finish his sentences, and practically just uses semicolons all the time.

how he's leaving out parts of his sentences may be because his holotape is messed up?

Perhaps Ulysses is from a tribe, and he's been practicing English to interact with the world? Or maybe Ulysses is one of those people who has to speak slowly because he's constantly thinking over each word and how he should say it.

Well, I'm making the assumption that the Brotherhood (excluding Christine and Elijah) haven't chanced upon Big MT yet, or something was pushing them away.

But, having Ulysses mention the Brotherhood in regards to the Divide in a recording about the meteorological station and the scientific catastrophe that occurs to Hopeville, I made another logical assumption that Elijah is Ulysses reference to the Brotherhood. Though, it can also be said that the Brotherhood and the NCR made their path through the Divide for whatever reason.

Who knows until the DLC is released though.

I like the way Ulysses speaks in the holotapes, it seems to emphasize the mystery surrounding him and his motives.

I think it was more refering to how Christine was so narrow minded in her goals of charging at Elijah, and Elijah in his revenge, that they seemed to be largely unconcerned with their presence pretty much rebreathing life into Big MT. Ulysses sees Big MT as largely minimally operating until those two cause trouble. And both are extremist in their own right, but still proudly believe in the BoS. And let's face it, the BoS are about as subtle as NCR is >_>

eh. i think my transcript pretty acurately captures his use of ellipsis' along with when each sentence starts and stops.......

Yeah, yours is captures the vocal pauses. Mine is just a general transcription of it.
