Ulysses hasn't been mentioned by name but he was the other courier mentioned ny Nash in primm and he's referenced by Christine in DM, you can hear several rumors about the burned man in the legion camp mostly slave comments and I believe theres a conversation about him with a named legionare. I also like how their tying everything in together, as for the comment about the dlc could have been included in the main game it wasn't even worked on until after new vegas was completed so its not liked you got ripped off its an actual download not just unlocking something already on the disk the dlc probably was planned for while working on the game but that just seems like being smart and planning ahead.

I still prefer the Fallout 3 story stuff. (tranquility lane was beyond epic) New vegas is good but I feel I got more out of the F3 dlcs equipment wise. MZ was cool if only for the katana,samurai gear and a revolver without a scope!. (I also recalled Ulysses being a part of cut content,no?)

I still feel gypped that I didn't get any armor for my pet brahmin.

What???

You got a pet brahmin???

Her name is Queenie. I got her after Cook-Cook "misplaced" his head.
