As the title says, I'm interested when is Ulysses' name mentioned for the first time in game?I don't mean locations like Ulysses' point in OWB or Ulysses' ranch (in some FNV versions)...I mean the moment when his name is revealed to you for 1st time? I know it's mentioned when LR loads, you get a message signed by his name, but I'm curious if his name is mentioned somewhere before? I can't remember Christine or any other character calling him by name.

His name is never mentioned, he's always mentioned as 'another courier' or something that similiarly means that.

Interesting, so actually the only time is when he sends you a message via Pip-boy and signs himself. (beginning of LR)

Never mind

OP said he didn't mean that, he wanted ingame characters referring to him specifically as Ulysses, and there are none who do, not even Christine.

ooops, didn't see that, my bad

I've only seen references to "another courier" or "Courier 6" mentioned by characters in the game so far in my playthrough (first time playing since I received the game in the mail on Feb 7th, 2012). I am close to the End of the Main Quest and thus far have only completed Honest Hearts and started Old World Blues. I've also done alot of side quests but unsure of percentage (unless the achievements are accurate for all major side quests, then 5/8).

He's first mentioned by Johnson Nash in Primm.

Not as 'Ulysses' though.

The first time his actual name is mentioned is in the message he sends you with the coordinates of the Canyon Wreckage.

I like the name Ulysses. At first I pronounced it "You'll E-Siss"(no slow downs) but I have since changed it to "You'll uh seas" like the game does.

Sorry for the astoundingly useless comment.

Never mind again, I didn't notice the part where OP said "not ulysses ranch", I svck

It's not a useless comment I just finished Lonesome Road and it stays with you. It's one of the best DLCs I've played. It's deep and sad and tough and hard and well, it has so many layers. I had to go on the wiki and read up everything I could about Ulysses, about his motives and how my character "the courier" could bring so much destruction to the Divide and not even remember it! I was speechless and I told my computer screen "I didn't to it! I would never do something like that!" LOL

The wiki explained a few things that still weren't clear to me.

In the end, I forged an alliance with Ulysses and canceled the launch and I'm glad about it!

Actually the first time he is mentioned is in dead money in the Sierra madre luxury suites when you reach christine you have a chance to ask her how she got here and she mentions chasing a courier named ulysses through the big mt from old world blues I finally found out that all of the add ons fit together
