A fan theory on a small detail, thought up by yours truly: Think of it as a 'what if'. The graves just prior to the Canyon Wreckage you looked at were prepared by Ulysses. Although he doesn't feel vengeful towards you by the time you make your way to the Divide doesn't mean he never felt that way before then. Didn't he expect you would die carrying the platinum chip? "Before seeking vengeance, dig two graves".

00000000 was actually the launch code for all minute man silos in the United States for the longest time. It was done so in the even of the cold war going hot, that they could be launched quicker than trying to remember a 8 digit code. They thankfully changed it when the cold war ended

[@bucketofdicks4096]

@@The_Stumbler I'm not doubting that 'Spears' is military slang for nuclear bombs, I'm just saying that Ulysses wasn't referring to them as such because Old World soldiers did; he was just naming them that because he articulates his speech in a very poetic fashion; like he'll also refer to them as 'giants' etc.

[@The_Stumbler]

@@bucketofdicks4096 I mean with Ulysses, that seems to be more his priority with speaking, hell the whole the "flashback" oxhorn did was to a very poetic holotape. honestly I would believe you are right, more of that he just is wanting to be poetic as his priority.

Ryan Hawkins this may be late, but it's the truth. During the Cold War, all personnel that had access to the launch codes had briefcases where they would have to unlock it and input the code and press a button and they would launch. And to avoid having to remember a complex code that would take too long to launch the nukes, they decided to make the passwords all 0's.

[@mish375]

@MRDRAXX Same. Though I fought it out with Ulysses for another reason: the man presents a threat overall to the region. He's completely insane, unhinged, and intent upon revenge for no reason (the Courier couldn't have know what was in the package, his/her job is delivery). Nothing says he would stop there in the Divide if he focused on revenging himself on others.

[@mish375]

@robert20351 The issue I have with Ulysses' speech is that it feels superfluous and comes across as vacuous at times. Or arrogant, whichever you choose. He could easily get to the point; but then again he is completely insane. One could argue he's constructed his narrative of revenge and is therefore using those theatrics to fit that world view and identity he has constructed.

It was nice to see obsidian studio give a nod to real world events. Between 1962 to 1977 during the cold war, the code meant to prevent unauthorised launching of the United States arsenal of Minuteman nuclear missiles was (apparently) "00000000" Yes that's right, 8 zeros! The permissive action link (PAL) code first came to light in 2004, after Bruce Blair, a former Minuteman missile launch control officer disclosed it in a column for the centre for defence information. According to Blair, the White House (under JFK) in 1962, ordered the codes to be installed despite objections from the US strategic air command which worried the extra layer of security would delay the launching of missiles in the event of an emergency. Nonetheless, official followed the orders and began phasing in the locks but all the while setting the "secret unlock code" to eight zeros. "The locks had been installed but everyone knew the combination and if you actually forgot it, it was written down on a checklist handed out to soldiers on the base" stated Blair. Sometimes, real life is WAY more scary than fantasy.Looks like in the fallout universe similar things happened except in this one the codes were left set at zero (or they had them reverted back) all the way up to 2077.

[@The_Real_DCT]

Anarchy Antz not surprising, I believe that there was stuff like that in Fallout 1 and 2 as well and since obsidian was founded by ex-Black Isle guys(the team who did Fallout, Fallout 2 and Project Van Buren aka Black Isle Fallout 3)

[@anarchyantz1564]

Exactly DCT. Like they have brought up since the early ones regarding "That Gun/ 2019 Detective Special" which links back to Fallout 1 and 2 as well as Fallout New Vegas (and of course a nod to Blade Runner). Actually I like all of either real world, pop culture and so on things all of the Fallout creators put in. Some like the nuclear code ones though you think are incredulous to the point of must be made up only to find are yeaaaah that's true is somewhat scary when you think about it. One of my favourites has to be the Y17 Harness guys saying "who turned out the lights" Dr Who reference in old world blues. I was hoping at some point to find some gas mask clad creatures saying "muuuuuuuuuumy! muuuuuuuuumy! Are you my mummy?" while chasing you down (another Dr Who reference).

Fun Fact: The ArmCo company mentioned when asking EDE about reloading tools is quite likely a reference to the Armscor company whose U.S. office is located just west of Las Vegas. The company is known for their affordably priced yet medium quality cheap imported guns and ammunition. Their ammunition, .22 caliber in particular has developed a bad reputation for being about 10% duds. Fun Fact two: If you look up Armscor's U.S. location on a map you will see that in the Fallout universe it would be located just over the mountains west of Jacobstown and Red Rock Canyon in the town of Pahrump Nevada.

After completing Ghost Town Gunfight, the first thing I did was head for the quest marker closest to me. I skipped the warning message and entered the Divide at level 3 armed with nothing but an Armored Vault 13 Jumpsuit, a Weathered 10mm Pistol and a couple of Stimpak's. Long story short, I had to restart my game.

Aaron Dukes same, i made it through (somehow) then got massacred by marked men

[@joshuaperrin3910]

Of all the New Vegas DLC series you've covered, this is the one I waited for the most. I never went through anything so bleak & oppressive in all of my gaming years. Keep at it Oxhorn!

[@smooth37]

Joshua Perrin I agree. When I found Oxhorn's page I was disappointed that Lonesome Road wasn't available. Now, it's time to watch it all end.

I really appreciate the way you mixed in the real history about Ulysses S. Grant, and the way you framed it inside the securitron. Good stuff.

[@QuietAlice343]

It's really odd seeing this DLCs sky so bright. The rest of the video is bang on by the way. I love how the intro captures the feeling of hopelessness, loneliness, and depression of the Lonesome Road. It's superb editing. You've really hit the nail on the head with this one.

[@Scuzz1204]

Lonesome Road: An amazing DLC that tells the tale of two couriers, both with troubled pasts, both intertwined, both badasses, and both know of the Divide. I love Ulysses one of the best DLC characters other than the brains, and Joshua! Thanks Ox.

[@Yan_Alkovic]

Oxhorn, when Ulysses writes "You can go home" he means that Courier 6 may return to their place of origin. He didn't mean Vegas, which may have become the Courier's new home. The Courier still originated from some other place and Ulysses was clearly talking about that.

[@oxhorn]

That doesn't make sense to me. What you say is true about the Courier's home, however his use of the word "can" makes it hard for him to mean "the divide" as the Courier's home. After all, that is where the Courier is headed already. "Of course I can go home--I am going home right now!" If Ulysses meant the divide as the Courier's home, he would have simply said, "Go home, Courier". His use of the word "can" leaves the impression that he is informing the Courier that he can do something that he is not currently doing, as if he haddn't considered it yet. Since the Courier is currently on the way to the divide, the home Ulysses must be referring to is Vegas. This is made more evident in future conversation with Ulysses, when he blames the Courier for being thoughtless.

[@Yan_Alkovic]

Huh, I guess that does make a certain amount of sense. It just seems weird to me that Ulysses would give the Courier reassurance. I mean, what does he gain from telling the Courier that they can return to Vegas if they want to? Oh well.... That's not that important anyway.

[@andrewklan8371]

Yan Alkovic you may be wrong sir, but you still win the game of having the best name and profile picture

[@Explodington]

I always thought there was more emphasis on "Can." As in the courier CAN go home because they still have a home to go to.

[@Yan_Alkovic]

+Andrew Klan Thanks, man! I actually based it off of my own name a bit, cause "Yan" is my real name and my surname starts with "Al-" and ends with "vich" (which is how one is supposed to read Al's name, only his family seems to have forgotten to put the ´ in "Yanković")

The Lonesome Road is one of my favorite Fallout DLCs, Hands down. The build up, the lonely feeling as you travel, the challenge of the enemies, the loot, all of it is awesome. I love how much history they put into our character. I am so excited for this series. I am going to love every episode!

i wonder if Oxhorn finishes editing a considerable part of the episodes of a series before uploading or is it an edit and upload as it goes on. also if there's a dedicated script or just bullet points and if he works by his lonesome. either way, the fact that he works hard and meticulously shows and i admire him for it.

[@TheZeldaplayer99]

When I first played Fallout New Vegas, I started the Lonesome Road dlc while my character was Level 3, not knowing anything about it other than it was a dlc....I walked out no less than Level 20, just to travel to Big MT immediately after and start the Old World Blues dlc, followed by traveling to the Sierra Madre Hotel. All of this before even playing through the actual game.
