Putting beforehand that I like the character and his plan to isolate the Mojave makes sense to me and when i go indie I actually feel the need to nuke NCR supply lines, I find Ulysses quite contradictory about the Old World. He is amazed by what the Think Tank say to him about that world, and he wishes to create a new and better one from the old. He goes on talking about the sleeping America for all the dlc, and wishes the Mojave to become a new nation with a different mentality. Yet, if you have Strip fame, he mocks you for following "ghosts of the Old World". It doesn't makes sense. House is all he should wish for New Vegas. He is capable of maintaining the Mojave safe and rich, and his dystopia has never existed before, it's a new thing. So why does he dislike House? If you kill the old man, he says you that you did the right thing because his old world ideas should stay dead. Now, Ulysses doesn't know what is House's ambition, all he knows is that New Vegas was rebuilt on the image of the old one. But isn't Ulysses a character created to give us Avellone's perspective on the factions? And if he is in fact a good crafted character, left ignorant about House's big plan on purpose, would he say House is the best option?
