Fallout new vegas how to reason with ulysses
Reasoning with Ulysses in Fallout: New Vegas can be a bit tricky, but it's definitely possible. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:
Prerequisites:
- You must have a high enough Speech skill (at least 50) to persuade Ulysses.
- You must have completed the "That Lucky Old Sun" quest and have the "Lucky 38" casino key.
- You must have a good reputation with the NCR (National Council of the Republic) and Caesar's Legion.
The Conversation:
- Head to the Fortification Hill, which is located in the Mojave Desert, east of the Hoover Dam.
- Enter the fort and make your way to the central courtyard, where you'll find Ulysses.
- Approach Ulysses and initiate a conversation with him.
- Choose the "Reason with Ulysses" option, which will start a dialogue with him.
- Ulysses will be skeptical at first, but you can try to persuade him by using your Speech skill and choosing the right dialogue options.
Persuasion Options:
Here are some persuasion options you can use to reason with Ulysses:
- "You're a great warrior, Ulysses. You don't have to be a slave to Caesar's Legion."
- "The NCR is a better choice for you. They'll give you a chance to be free."
- "You're a hero, Ulysses. You deserve better than to be a pawn in Caesar's game."
- "I know you're tired of fighting. Let's work together to bring down Caesar's Legion."
Tips and Tricks:
- Make sure you have a high enough Speech skill to persuade Ulysses. If your Speech skill is too low, you won't be able to reason with him.
- Use your reputation with the NCR and Caesar's Legion to your advantage. If you have a good reputation with both factions, Ulysses will be more likely to listen to your persuasion.
- Be patient and persistent. It may take a few attempts to persuade Ulysses, so don't get discouraged if he doesn't listen to you at first.
- If you fail to persuade Ulysses, you can try to attack him or flee the scene. However, this will likely result in a hostile encounter and may lead to Ulysses becoming a permanent enemy.
By following these steps and using the right persuasion options, you should be able to reason with Ulysses and convince him to join your cause. Good luck!
