Lonesome Road

"This is your road; when you come, you'll walk it alone."

- Ulysses

Lonesome Road is the fourth add-on for Fallout: New Vegas, developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Bethesda Softworks. Originally scheduled for release in July 2011, Lonesome Road was delayed and subsequently announced for an August release. It was later announced that the add-on had been delayed a second time. It was finally released simultaneously on all platforms on September 20, 2011.

Plot
Lonesome Road brings the Courier's story full circle when you are contacted by the original "courier six", a man by the name of Ulysses who refused to deliver the Platinum chip at the start of the main storyline in Fallout: New Vegas. In his transmission, Ulysses promises the answer as to why, but only if you take one last job - a job that leads you into the depths of the hurricane-swept canyons of the Divide, a landscape torn apart by frequent earthquakes and violent storms. This is the fabled location of the battle between the Courier and Ulysses. The road to the Divide is a long and treacherous one, and of the few to ever walk the road, none have ever returned.

Behind the scenes

 * The phrase "Lonesome Road" appears in-game at the canyon wreckage, written in close proximity to other graffiti reading "The Divide", "You Can Go Home Courier", several figures resembling a backwards '6', and "Courier 6?", "Courier Six" apparently being the designation assigned to the player character by the Mojave Express.
 * "The Lonesome Road" is the name of a 1927 song by Nathaniel Shilkret and Gene Austin, which has been covered by several musicians who should be familiar to fans of the Fallout series, including the Andrews Sisters, Louis Armstrong, Eddy Arnold, Bing Crosby, Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole, Sid Phillips, Stan Kenton, Frank Sinatra, and Kay Kyser.
 * Three holotapes that can be found in Lonesome Road have been released on the Bethesda Website.
 * At 1:11 on the Fallout: New Vegas Lonesome Road trailer, you can see a bird's eye view of the Canyon wreckage and you are able to see a large explosion coming from the Mojave Outpost and Nipton.
