At any rate, on topic, Lonesome Road was, as it claims "an ending to things." I think it may have taken time to accept, because perhaps people accepted more ANSWERS and less speculation from an ending, but looking back at it, I wouldn't've had it any other way. It would defeat the purpose of the message if Ulysses had an opinion like "this nation should survive" or "the player was supposed to support this faction because they were morally right" or whatever.
One of the things I like about Ulysess is BECAUSE he patronizes the NCR, Legion, and House, and yet all his harsh quips are very true.
The Legion is a time bomb of infighting waiting to happen until it, like the Ourobourus, consumes itself.
The NCR is a corrupt nation of greedy children who don't take the time to learn from history.
Mr. House is all about lights and restoration of the past as opposed to a unique new future.
