Translation: "I feel a bit embarrassed for not realizing that the cook couldn't have possibly mistaken the Courier (who can look like anyone) for Ulysses (whose physical appearance has already been established). But rather than respond like a mature person would with something like "Oh right. I guess not." I think I'll just troll."

Another option is to look past what may seem like trivial dialog within the game and leave no stone unturned. But, it is much easier to just claim that someone who is saying something you don't understand is a troll.

He is an advanced cyborg that has been sent back in time to kill the courier and prevent the platinum chip from being delivered and stopping House from conquering the world. Unfortunately he came too late and the courier has lost possession of the chip by the time he arrives. Still though he continues his mission to eliminate the courier in the name of those who sent him in hopes that he can somehow set right the wrongs and change the future for civilization.

It would be awesome if, after finding this out, you discover that your name isn't what ever you chose in the beginning, it's Jon Conner, and the bullets gave you amnesia.

Eh, I sure hope the entire DLC doesn't end up as some "derp, we're brothers and we gunna fight nao" scenario. Seems like they'd be shirking the potential for a great story about an epic, long lasting conflict between two characters in favor of some Hollywood B-Movie drivel.

Also, I'm a bit annoyed at this "Ulysses should/could be white" talk. He's African-American, pretty sure it's been that way since they thought him up. Stop trying to rid the game of one of the few minorities it has.

Yeah and that the nuclear war was only a ploy intended to keep House from getting his hands on the platinum chip. Only they hadn't fully calculated the damage that would be done and the entire world was a victim of this error. I've got to stop now. This is all starting to seem like a bad 80's movie.

Because you're behaving like one. Let's back it up here. You asked a question. You got two responses, and both of us (me and that other guy) said the same thing. "No." (essentially). Rather than accept that as an answer, you put forward another unlikely theory in an attempt to support your first unlikely theory. Once I shot that down, you went off the rails and made it pretty clear to me that you weren't taking this conversation seriously.

I don't like to cavalierly rule out possibilities either, but your theory (in as far as I can understand it) hinges on:

1) The current depiction of Ulysses being just a ruse.
2) Ulysses finally being unveiled as resembling the Courier. Why? Because the developers have opted for the least original "revelation" about Ulysses any writer could come up with. The old "I am your long-lost sibling!" routine. A tired old cliche, rarely seen in contemporary storytelling outside of fan-fiction.

Is it possible? Sure. It's also possible that Ulysses' head might split open revealing a tiny alien inside his skull. That doesn't seem very probable, however, and neither does your theory. If you can't handle your theories getting shot down, then don't put them out there.

What about my theory? Did it seem plausible?

I think Jim Cameron might sue.

Lol'd.

I heard that the courier ate his last packet of crispy squirrel bits. He could never find it in himself to forgive her, and thus a centuries-long bloody feud was born. Or something.

Ulysses: How could you think that was your coat?
Courier: [Speech 68/80] It kinda looked like my coat
Ulysses: DOES YOUR COAT HAVE A [censored] FLAG ON IT!?

I found a hysterical quote on Youtube.
"I'm definitely killing Ulysses when I meet him. That jerk cost me a lot of Microsoft points."

So true....

Hoping on a very touching DLC. With action-bolt features like SWORDS AND ROBOTS, SOLDIERS AND HONOR. :flamethrower: :flamethrower: :flamethrower:

Does it get more epic than that???
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Ulysses and the Courier were actually lovers.

Yeah, I'm going with that. Being how's you can create a courier that can have any name, any six, any race, any build, any sixual orientation, and any age from age 18 and up, the link between the Courier and Ulysses would have to be about something the Courier did and not not who the Courier was. Works for me.

The courier told Ulysses a joke with the "N" word in it.... Ulysses got offended...

I'm not sure Ulysses hates the Courier. He's persuing you, but he's not like "I know what it's like to chase someone who hurts you/ruins your life", it's "I know what it's like to chase someone who had an impact on your life."

Impact is considerably more neutral than another choice of words.

My main Courier is a pretty cool guy. eh runs New Vegas and doesn't afraid of Ulysses.

HAHA! I would pay to see that :rofl:

I don't hear hate either...more like lust. I think he wants in my courier's pants really bad...so bad that he almost wants to kill me over the anticipation. Anybody else get that feeling?

Same here Meghan! I hope with Confirmed Bachelor or Cherchez Le Femme(Yes, I said that) you can go on a crazy love spree with Ulysses. The screen goes black like you do with Benny, but you wake up 10 days later.

And then you get the "Once you go black..." perk

you go deaf?
