The Battle of the Divide

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 6:03 pm

I'm still waiting on the Divide to be confirmed as the Grand Canyon. CL doesn't refer it as the former so thats odd. I would also like the Big Empty to be confirmed as Area 51 or Death Valley. Again possibly the former due to references to experimental labs. No made up locations please though!

I hope they dont make it to where the courier has a past with this guy,that will mess up role playing to the max."Im a ranger sent on a mission to the divide,oh, its that guy I knew from my courier days...I dont remember being a courier though..." Get my point?But Ill play and make the best of what ever they give me I gues.


Well, you do realize that Benny makes reference to your past work as a Courier right?

"You made your last delivery, kid."

I don't think it was to be funny.

And the great divide was confirmed in collectors cards I think.

Isn't the idea of any of these guys being companions kinda blown out of the water?

I mean we know Graham is a beast, what's his motive for listening to me (Unless the courier is essential in his plan which kinda feels like the Legion and the chip)

And there's obviously bad blood with the other courier, what's his motive? I think it'll be more like a standoff, each side representing something and each side having followers and such.

The Divide wait a minute isn't that the place southwest of Primm where you have the Grafitti on the wall, Courier number 6 and The Divide. Thats probably the place where we would go to start the future DLC whenever it comes out.

No, that's most likely to be the DLC before The Great Divides DLC.

In geological terms, a "divide" has to do with the directions rivers flow, it's not synonymous with "canyon". I'm not really convinced that "the divide" is the same thing as the grand canyon either.

Now the Big Empty, or Big Mt. is a bit of flotsam from Van Buren. There's a couple of semi-cannon sources, and they give conflicting accounts as to what exactly was going on there. But it seems to be a prison at which the inmates were experimented upon. I'm sure we'll learn more in the fullness of time.

I'm hoping the couriers won't fight over a ballistic orbital missile base either. :o

Yeah,but when Im role playing a non courier, I dont whatch that film any way.And its not that hard to over look a few lines(or make them fit my story), but itll be difficult to do for a hole dlc.Fallout 3 was difficult to role play cause you had a past.But what ever, like I said, Ill take and enjoy what ever they give me,even if it does cramp my style a little. :sadvaultboy:

Or they could go with some philosophical crap and have Ulysses being saved with inspiration from watching Courier who cheated death and his travels, something like that.

Or, He saw the courier save a kitten that was falling from animal rainstorms, and decided that he must die for defying logic.

Just, no.

Fail.

You could've been a Courier before, sure, but Benny had no clue about you before the Platinum Chip ordeal.
Benny was making a witty comment.

So I have heard that something said in the game (I don't know if it was in the DLC or Vanilla game.) referring to The Courier and someone else under The Flag of the Old World (The flag ulysess wears on his back.) at the Great Divide (The Grand Canyon.), So what do you think will happen? A potential sequel (Which would mean making one of the ending of F:NV Canon.) or a DLC..

Discussion?



Oh... boy I reckon this is a BIG thing to ask. Infact I'd say it was multiple DLC's worth there. I'm guessing the final DLC will probably be Ulysses and the "battle of the divide" summed from the previous ones

Because he kinda fell off a cliff on fire... I did dead money and I read about most of the rest. Plz explain some of these questions if you can lol. :ahhh:

I was just making a joke about Graham being Ulysess, and New Canaan is in Utah.

Okay, and that just makes my point, you could have been a courier for a while and met Ulysess one time and did something for him. (which you might have thought to be nothing at the time.)

I say The Burned Man and Ulysses are two completely different people... Benny was (most likely) just making a witty comment (although it'd be pretty stupid if you were constantly being refired to as the Courier when you only had one courier delivery)... There should be no history between Ulysses and the Courier unless one DLC is a flashback and tells their history together... But you should get a TON of desicions that always end badly (maybe the DLC could take place when you were shot and knocked into your coma for a couple of days)

A Flashback DLC would'nt be too good if it took place while you were in a coma, I think it would be better if Ulysses captures you and he tells you what your history was.

Again, I was making a joke about them being the same person, and Ulysses and the Courier have a history (Brief maybe, but it was a pretty bad history judging from what we can have In-game.)

the lab thing could explain how a human could survive being on fire and thrown off a cliff

Personally i think the order of the next 3 dlc is

Honest Hearts - Joshua Graham, New Canaan, Zion National Park - Get there from the Radioactive Road Block in the north west corner of the map
Old World Blues - Big Empty and the Chipers - Get there from the Northern Passage
Lonesome Road - Grand Canyon, Ulysses - Get there from Canyon Wreckage

I also hope they keep Ulysses as a Pro-Legion character, to counteract Boone's overly NCR mindset, as per his character card being in the same set as the other Legion Characters.

As a side note you where a courier before you delivered the platinum chip the fact that Nash says when Ulysses say your name on the list of potential Couriers he turned down the job and said "no let courier 6 deliver it" shows you where a courier beforehand.

(I've already known about honest hearts for about a month.)
Probably, I'll PM a mod to move it, But I kind of think he MAY be a Companion for a while, but suddenly turn against you IF you make a wrong choice..
I hope he actually has a different voice actor instead of the recycled voice actor that sounds like a 21 year old who's drunk.
I just hope Joshua Graham is there... Unless.. He IS Graham. :stare:

Dont mean to be racist, but im pretty sure Graham was/is white. Caeser is racist and sixist. Ulysses however is black.
