But “what did Ulysses do aside from challenge the courier to confront their own actions?”

Attempted genocide via Nuclear Holocaust 2: Radioactive Boogaloo.

Would be the thing that comes to my mind. That’s uh. A damn bit more than you can justify as being “asking the courier to be accountable”.

1. ulysses has the missiles aimed at dry wells and long 15, two military outposts for the legion and the ncr, respectively, not any majorly populated location

2. hitting one, or both, would not be unleashing a nuclear holocaust or causing genocide - it's to destroy strategic routes for either faction, making the war effort extra difficult for them

3. the choice to nuke one, or both, or none of these places is up to the courier

4. you can talk him down. with your words, by sympathizing with him, you can reason with him and have him realize what he's doing isn't the right way

5. ulysses is lashing out because of the trauma of his history - he was enslaved, his tribe was eradicated, and he was forced to perpetuate the legion's cycle of violence on pain of death. he is a desperate, suicidal man wanting to die, and wants to take down the forces that have hurt him down along with him for good measure

6. you can talk him down. you can de-escalate the situation. you can, and i cannot stress this enough, prevent the bombs from dropping just by showing a little understanding, a little kindness, a little grace

7. i am not defending what he attempted to do. it's bad. i acknowledge that. but it's not nuclear holocaust, it's not genocide, and it's not as horrible and terrible as what other fnv characters have actually done

I think I'm late to this playing card trend but Sun my best friend Sun!!

Happy pride
