Ulysses asked the head brain a question that freaked him so badly he erased all memory of their encounter. We also have Elijah, Christine and Ulysses running around here bringing Dead Money and Lonesome Road into all this. They don't know there is a world outside their crater, they are literally shortsighted. They gently caress around, play at war then they have their memories wiped and start all over again. Now we've got this group of idiotic scientists living forever and creating scientific horrors with no regard for the consequences, trapped inside an endless loop of death and rebirth. The world was destroyed by science and stupidity a long time ago.
Old World Blues is about history repeating itself. Following a symbol, not what it represents. They end up worshipping him instead of the Legion, just like how the Dead Horses worship Graham instead of his Mormon ideals. There are some intertwining things about Ulysses training the White Legs though. Honest Hearts is kind of a separate thing because it was made my Joshua Sawyer instead of Chris Avellone so it doesn't really fit into the ongoing story.
There's also the recurring theme of beginning again. When you are asked what compelled you to follow the radio message to the Sierra Madre the answer that comes up the most is that you were curious, you wanted to know what you would find. You are missing the point) You go through all of this to get to the treasure and in the end you have to let go and just leave. (Lets just forget about abusing game mechanics or all the stimpacks you can take with you or whatever other bull**** you want to come up with.
We have this expressed through the vault full of gold bars at the end that you cannot take with you if you want to get out of there alive. In Dead Money we have the theme of letting go of your hopes/dreams/fortune/etc being the hardest thing. It's pretty interesting and worth to share, imo. Someone on the SA forums wrote some stuff about the DLCs.
