Mopel Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) The storyline in FNV allows the player to pretty much make up the Courier's backstory prior to becomming a courier. So, is it possible that the Courier can be the Lone Wanderer?Facts that make this storyline possible is that by the time Adams Airforce base was destroyed by the LW in early 2778 the Capital Wasteland was pretty much peaceful, assuming you did the the side quests before the ending. The LW, a person that is by now yearning for more adventure would not just sit there and wait untill he dies, he wants to explore! So, he buys a caravan brahmin (you are obviously bursting in caps by now) leaves his companions as they do not seek the same life, and the LW leaves dogmeat (a very canon companion), afraid of him getting hurt along the way. He may also have left a wife.(Who she is, is for you to decide). He sets off on a great trek west seeking adventure. This lasted 2 years until you reach the west coast. The LW explores the West for a bit (visiting places such as New Reno and Vault city) and after a year of wandering the west, signs up to be a courier in the year 2781. The long trek west would obviosly had made you lose some of your more high-tec weaponry and armour (which would explain why you are wearing a cow-boy hat and clothes). Because of you not having you super items, Benny and his gang found it easy to surround and subdue you, take you package,(and your pipboy, that they would have sold to scavenger as they do not know how to use it) shoot you in the head twice and leave you in your shallow grave. The robot digs you up and you wake up in Doc Mitchel's house. The reason why a character who is by now at level 30 with 2 or 3 skills at 100 to suddenly go straight back down is easy to explain. You were shot in the head TWICE and you were buried for some time. I think that enough to cause some real mental damage. This makes it that your character can only remember recent events such as the men wh attacked you, that you are a courier, your name and some key facts about yourself. This is when New Vegas starts. So, do you see any flaws in my theory? Anything that needs explaining? Woud you like to add something? :D Edited January 5, 2012 by Mopel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixflashpointxi Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Flaw in your theory: You make up the backstory.It doesn't have to be the Lone Wanderer, it doesn't have to be any set story. If you want to role play as the Lone Wanderer, so be it. But you cant just say that the Courier is the Wanderer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopel Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) I know the backstory of the Courier can be anything. I just want to see if I can have a scenario where he is the LW. He can be anybody, but is he able to be the LW aswell? That is what I am asking, if I can have a scenario like this. What is your backstory for your Courier? :D Edited January 6, 2012 by Mopel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryuzaaki123 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I think you're trying too hard here..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZRainman Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Considering the Courier didn't have a Pipboy, until Doc Mitchell gave him one....the idea he came from a vault is a bit of a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFreeman90 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 That and there is dialogue that says where he is the day of the first battle of hoover dam, which I think was happening around the same time Fallout 3's events were happening, so in short, no, its impossible.

dragonalumni Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 IMPOSSIBLE-- NO, IT'S NOT. THE ALIENS IN FA3 CLONED ME, AND TELEPORTED ME TO VEGAS! :pirate: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syco21 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 If you are looking for adventure, why the hell would you take up a dull job like courier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mothership Zeta was nothing more then a Jet induced nightmare, I refuse to believe that Aliens in Fallout are canon in anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
