ODYSSEUS (also known as ULYSSES) is an extremely advanced A.I. created by Derek Greenway.

Background[edit | edit source]

Before the War[edit | edit source]


When ODYSSEUS was sold to the prison, its creator became so frustrated that he left Poseidon and started a new project - Diana. ODYSSEUS was the mightiest of all mighty computers. ZAX super computer units were nothing compared to ODYSSEUS, and even though Diana was made by ODYSSEUS' creator, she was developed to be emotionally sophisticated, not powerful.

After the War[edit | edit source]

After the Great War, ODYSSEUS became unstable and developed a split personality. The only "communities" that know of its existence are the machine intelligences governing Robot City to the east, which are attempting to find ODYSSEUS and correct the "divide" that has occurred within its system — and return it to its imprisoned, intended place as their slave.


Repeated attacks from eye-bots revealed to the Prisoner what ODYSSEUS' goal is, which is to continue to send out robots after the prisoners until they all have been brought back to the prison. The eye-bots and ARGOS got everyone pretty quickly - other than the protagonist and six other prisoners. It became obvious pretty quickly that ODYSSEUS is checking people off as they return and kept telling the robots that X more prisoners are unaccounted for, but ODYSSEUS seemed to be unconcerned with prisoners that stream back out again after being captured.


The malevolent machine AIs of Robot City, to the east, were hunting down ODYSSEUS for this reason.

Notes[edit | edit source]

In later design documents, ULYSSES was renamed to ODYSSEUS. This was done to emphasize the difference between Poseidon's Greek names and Greenway's Roman names. It's possible that Greenway's original name for the computer was ULYSSES but it was eventually renamed ODYSSEUS at Poseidon.

Appearances[edit | edit source]

ODYSSEUS was to appear in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios.
