He was orginally supposed to be a companion but was cut because he was too complicated technically and his character tide into nearly every bit of the game, so he was cut.
his character is now retconned he was a Bighorn rancher who abandoned his ranch to become a courier,he was the couerier orignally paid to deliver the Plantinum Chip but once he saw the Couriers name
he refused saying to johnathan Nash ''no let Courier 6 deliver the package,It is thought that each dlc will lead up to a final confrontation with Ulysesse in the Dlc titled the ''Lonesome road''
He is thought to have had a relationship with the courier,and that the nature of this relationship will suprise courier according to a source close to Bethesda.
I personally think our courier is related to Ulysese maybe his Brother/sister or something well anyway well find out soon
I really do not like the way these DLCs will be taken in the future for other games. This makes it feel like games later on down the line will require DLCs to finish important side stories(Hell this should have been apart of the main quest). Makes me worry that DLCs will keep holding more and more inside info on major factors and characters. Making us shovel even more money to gaming companies.....
Then again NV was only in making for a couple of years. (1 or 2?) So they were rushed from what I can tell, so that could explain it possibly. But still, makes me feel like the game is fractured.
Also they better fix these DLC bugs I am having(DEAD MONEY, I STILL CANNOT PLAY).
