Lonesome Road endings


 * If you liberate ED-E and kill Ulysses at the end, and have ED-E sacrifice itself in a successful attempt to abort the missile launch, you receive a reputation boost with both the Followers of the Apocalypse and the Brotherhood of Steel for averting another apocalypse. Before it succumbs to overloading caused by forcing the missile launch to abort, the ED-E of Lonesome Road manages to transmit its new information to the ED-E of the Mojave, meaning that the perks it has gathered are not lost.
 * It is a nod to the ending of "Planet of the Apes" when the main character realizes that the strange world he is on is in fact the Earth in the future. He realizes this when walking on the beach, he discovers the Statue of Liberty half buried in the sand.
