Canon ending?

[Lone Cat]

^ By the time of Lonesome Road. he no longer associate himself with the Legion. The discovery of the Divide had reset how he view the world, and the route in his life he should takes. By now he believed that the Legion is nothing but a small time tribal nation, yet he doesn't view the NCR as a worthy successor to the United States (he's completely raised by totally postwar soceity, How does he comes up with the concepts how advanced the pre-war USA was?), yet his Anti-House attitude might stemmed from the Legion doctrines (written by both Sallow and Graham i think).
If he's spared, AND the nuke has NOT been launched, Ulysses will stay in the Divide.

Hello Languorous_Maiar,

At first I thought you had a point, but now looking at this again I have come to think you still misunderstand the ending and about the idea that NCR cities got nuked by Ulysses.

"missiles fell on NCR and the Long 15 caravan route beyond the Mojave Outpost, the road the Courier had been walking when the tale began. Caravans and NCR outposts along the route were reduced to ash, an Old World gift from the Divide."

It is clear in this sentence that the NCR along the Long 15 was targeted and not the major cities you brought up, NCR in this case referring to those outposts.
Ulysses goal was to destroy the road and not NCR cities.

At best 'Beyond' might mean the Boneyard (unlikely) but not Shady Sands which is located to the North.

So why you haven't referred to my other points? : )

Where it is cleary said "heartland" and erasing all West?

It's so obvious as hell. Don't be blind.

I am not trying to be blind, honestly.

But I do see where I could be wrong either, I wanted to bring up that the quote seems to imply that the road the Courier walked before the events of FNV happened was targeted and destroyed.

But perhaps I was thinking a little to literal, road as in a 'road' (a path for transport).
Perhaps it is more like the road you are suggesting; the past of the Courier and everything that is connected with it.


But the tweet, no offense, but that sounds more like what Avellone wanted to do if he had the chance in a Fallout game. Not that he actually did it in LR.
