One of the playing cards in the collector's edition of Fallout:New Vegas is for a character by the name of Ulysses. I've not seen hide nor hair of him in the game though, anyone know anything about him? I don't have the card in front of me right now, but I seem to recall his being portrayed as a black man with short dreadlocks wearing a jacket or vest with an American flag style design on the back. His quote paints him as an American patriot, saying something about not setting down the flag unless its over his grave or on the ground of a country he can be proud of.--OvaltinePatrol 23:29, October 29, 2010 (UTC)

That Ulysses is human, and this Ulysses is a computer; they're probably not related. The Ulysses that you mention is probably more of a reference to Ulysses S. Grant, who was a General (if I recall correctly) in the Union army during the American Civil War, as well as the 18th President of the U.S. RolandVH 17:30, November 2, 2010 (UTC)
It turns out he was a companion that was cut from the game. MCA mentioned him in an interview recently.--OvaltinePatrol 21:10, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
Another tidbit, since his card is in the clubs suit, the implication is that he was intended be a (I suspect former) member of the Legion.--OvaltinePatrol 07:30, November 15, 2010 (UTC)

Move[]

This page was moved to Odysseus over ODYSSEUS. Considering that its previous iteration was known as ULYSSES (all caps) in design documents, wouldn't it be more appropriate for this one to follow suit? Unless of course someone can point out somewhere in a design document where this AI is referred to as "Odysseus" rather than "ODYSSEUS". --Flower of Pock-Lips 13:34, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

It's not an acronym. We are decapping codenames wherever they are not acronyms. Hence AER-9, but Odysseus. Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 13:38, January 12, 2011 (UTC)
I'm just a little worried that it's misleading users, because the entity is known in-universe as ODYSSEUS. But if that's the consensus, I'll go with it. --Flower of Pock-Lips 14:02, January 12, 2011 (UTC)
How do you spell capital letters? Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 14:20, January 12, 2011 (UTC)
Pardon? I'm not sure I understand what you're asking... --Flower of Pock-Lips 14:46, January 12, 2011 (UTC)
