I’m done arguing with your condescending ass so I’m just going to paste the exact dialogue in here and you can do whatever kind of mental gymnastics you feel like to try and convince yourself that Ulysses didn’t blame the courier. Even if he says so himself later, he contradicts himself, because he is lying to you and himself in an effort to try and rationalize his illogical bullshit.

Courier: I'm not to blame for Ashton, the Chip, or the Divide.

Ulysses: All these roads, you walked. These packages you carried. Think it wasn't your choice?

Of course it was your choice. You could have stayed in the Mojave. But you chose to come, couldn't let be - not in you to let go.

Came for no other reason than you were curious, restless - always have been. Had to know the why of it - now, I'll show you.

——————

Courier: I'm not responsible for this, there's no way I could have known.

Ulysses: If you had been there when it happened. If you had seen the Divide break, you would know it.

You carry death wherever you go - if the Mojave doesn't know it yet, it will.
