He actually never was the chief of police. head of homicide, head of CID, deputy chief of operations, head of the msp. Never chief od police though.

He actually just showed up on set and started investigating crimes and they rolled with it.

He just REALLY hated Dominic West the first time he saw him.

Caesar grew up under the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor and they taught him some good ideas about Imperialist rule. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybwEowTWn7g

Lonesome Road sucks! Dead Money has questionable game play choices, Honest Heart's quest are barely there and Old World Blues is chock full of damage sponges but at they all have interesting characters to interact with. Ulysses is just a pretentious tool (and I can't tell if that is deliberate or not) who's dialogue sounds like second rate imitation of Cormack McCarthy, every time he chimes is slog of purple prose. I have played this DLC four times and I still don't understand what exactly Ulysses's beef with the courier is. This franchise has always has been about choice which makes the call to have the entirety of Lonesome Rode be a long hallway mind boggling; this DLC points you at a finish line and tells you shoot everything that move until you cross that line its the Gears of War's school of game design. The only saving grace for this DLC is the loot which is excellent.

The only saving grace for this DLC is the loot which is excellent. Ulysses isn't very good at letting go. Basically, before the game starts, the Courier was a bit of a local legend and when he/she found a shortcut through The Divide, people started following and, over time, worked out that they could start a little town there. Ulysses found this and, being massively depressed but self-absorbed enough that he couldn't figure out that the reason he was depressed was that Caesar kept making him do lovely things, saw the fact that the settlement wasn't aligned to either NCR or Legion and took this is a sign from above that this place was blessed. When the Courier brought the detonator/whatever and annihilated the place, Ulysses saw his hippy commune dreams go up in mushroom clouds and placed the blame squarely on the Courier - because he believes that the Courier assumes that everything is cool as long as he/she doesn't die. Ulysses just has you do a bunch of bad things on the route to him (notably setting off another nuke) as a way of letting him prove to you that it was all your fault. He's a bit of a twat, really.

The Courier: I'm sorry. I don't remember any of it. Ulysses: You don't remember?! The Courier: For you, the day Courier Six graced your Divide was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.

Yeah, the upshot of all of it was Courier never blew the place up on purpose, he just happened to be carrying a box on his mailman route that turned out to be a bomb. Whoops.

Yeah, really like that you can just repeatably tell Ulysses that the Divide really didn't mean anything to the player and that it was just another job with a result that no one could have known was going to happen. Plus honestly like how if you do the DLC in order you get this picture of Ulysses in your mind and then run into the broken obsessive husk of a man he actually is when you decide to finally check out that radio message he sent you a million years ago after you stumbled out of the doc's house in Goodsprings.

Ulysses was just one of the many that went crazy after the world consumed by atomic fire and it"s aftermath and didn't felt too jarring. Lonesome Road is pretty good test of your late game characters power and has some nice pre-war insights but yeah it won't be a strong and coherent narrative with a good payout in the end like Dead Money

As far as loots go, Lonesome Road has my favorite ones as I don't like the weird science-y stuff of Old World Blues. Honest Hearts has some cool/useful/MUH IMMERSION stuff which is why I switched it to the first DLC to play as it's scaling is massively immersion braking with Anti-Material Rifle and Power Fist Wearing random tribals. Dead Money has some sweet sweet crafting recipes involving the red mist so I try to stock Red Mist Residue for Mojave. Lonesome Road gear is pretty much victory lap stuff at that point but Blood Nap is one of my Cowboy run staples.

I didn’t have much attachment to ED-E going in and that, along with LR being both the very last Oblivion Gamebryo piece of content and neck-and-neck with Honest Hearts in the “vision most limited by the engine” award contest, made it something of an anticlimax. It didn’t help that the levels were brown and grey and so tightly packed that the level design verticality they were clearly playing with didn’t really pan out at all - the highway crawl should have been epic and haunting but Gamebryo just could not hack any sense of scale. Fallout 4 ended up doing the same thing better in an engine that actually allowed it. And by that time you were many many hours into inventory management likely being the most involved aspect of gameplay. Many fond memories of deciding what to drop so I could try out Red Glare. I don’t even know what the point of the shoulder mounted mini gun was.

HH is sometimes pleasant to look at and manages to convey some of the tranquility of zion (i haven't been to zion, but the dlc park is genuinely calming at times). LR is just an ugly, hard to navigate mess. it's something i'd more expect from a modder rather than a team that should by then have been comfortable with the game tools. idk, maybe they were really short on time/resources, and/or realized too late their vision was too ambitious.

I love LR's layout and overall setting. Generally all the DLC's are pretty different though, I don't know many people who love everything about all of them. I'm not crazy about OWB, myself, particularly on replays.

Lonesome Road rules. Going into a cave, through a cave made out of buildings and ending up on a rooftop is awesome. Tilting the floor 5 degrees to make things actually bombed out is cool. Walking into Ulysses's Temple with Eyebots wizzing overhead and a warhead emerging from the ground is badass.

I'd love Lonesome Road more if there was an option to tell Ulysses he's got the wrong person. When you meet him face-to-face, just interrupt him in the middle of his rant and say he's read the number upside-down and he's supposed to be looking for Courier 9 instead.

Such a shame that isn't a thing, really should have been an option with Wild Wasteland. Simply to hear Ulysses just laugh, have a mid speech break down and just throw his hands up toss his stuff to you and walk off.
