No, this is not a "who would win in a fight" - thread.

I'm asking you simply, who did you prefer most? Who did you feel connected to most? Who did you enjoy spending all those countless of hours when traveling through the wasteland, killing people for justice or for simple pleasure?

I like the Courier better, but that might be because I liked NV more than Fallout 3. I also liked the "self discovery" aspect of the Courier with his brain damage and all. That being said, it was interesting to start Fallout 3 as a baby and get to know people in your childhood and then learn about your father and all that.

The lone wanderer does nothing more than purifying water for few farming possibilities and getting rid of super mutants.
Courier does lots of things and can change the fate of New Vegas and the politics of west coast.

I felt more connected to the wanderer, possibly because I only have 434.1 hrs on record playing new vegas as the Courier(steam). I modded Fallout3 heaps and still play it for lols. Oblivion? don't ask.....

The Courier, mainly by the simple virtue of me liking F:NV more than FO3 (not that FO3 was a bad game by any stretch). But I also felt that overall their writing, which in the Courier's case more applies to dialogue options, was superior to the Lone Wanderer's. And of course, the Courier's companions totally kick the **** out of FO3's followers, which helps with the "immersion and connectivity" bits.

EDIT: And if you're Sylvius, the Courier also has the advantage of a much more vaguely defined past.

I've thought long and hard about this, but in the end still nothing beats Fawkes.

I think we all know that the Vault Dweller is the best Fallout protagonist.

...I like the Courier more than the Lone Wanderer, though. But as others have already stated, that's because of liking F:NV more than FO3.

The wanderer was somehow better, even though NV is the better game.

The Courier was the best Fallout protaganist. Simply because he had no limitations whatsoever on who he/she was other than having taken a job delivering mail once.

Mine took a little too much head damage from the bullet to the head and thought he was a pirate. In land-locked Nevada.Image IPB

And I just liked the story better. But To be fair, Fallout 3 did allow reasonable amount of flexibility in who you were too. Just within a much tighter vault structure. I just felt I had far less conrol over the plot there. And the characters I most would have enjoyed as companions, weren't ones. (Sydney and Reilly)

And now I want to play more New Vegas.

The Courier.

New Vegas has more meaningful and interesting choices, which allow you to better shape your character.

The Courier.
Again, like most have already said, FO:NV is the better game when compared to FO:3. It had better characters, better plot (much more interesting and meaningful), better gameplay, better quests, etc. And to me I also felt that the Courier had more character as well as having a place within the wasteland.

I felt more connected to the Wanderer than the Courier.  Having the family/vault background helped give a sense of direction to the overall story.  Also, not repeatedly crashing to desktop with FO3 probably helped me feel more connected.  :?

The Courier was more entertaining though: "Wait, he can't really be so stupid as to risk his life to shag crazy-psycho-revenge chick...wait, I can sleep with him and then kill him?!?  Avellone, you are one messed-up person."  :devil:

I get that New Vegas was a far better game as far as gameplay went, but the environment and backstory of The Lone Wanderer was critical in making FO3 my favorite game. Of course I have other reasons, but one of the biggest was how connected I ended up getting to the Wanderer. Liam Neeson voicing her Dad didn't help either, and then the dying, and the continuation of her parent's dream, and then the Awesome Broken Steel DLC and Dogmeat and...

i liked the lone wanderer better. the courier is his own person, but the lone wanderer is more or less me in that world.

The Courier due to the ability to make your own backstory and prefering New Vegas over Fallout 3.

I think it's hard for me to say, if only because neither one had a very defined character. To me, they were just there for you to play the game if you get what I mean.

But I guess the courier because s/he had a better story and purpose.

I prefered the Wanderer. The connection he had with his father was just amazing imo. And Liam Neeson did a great job as his voice actor.

The Black-Widow perk was hilarious because you weren't required to have any skills... Instead you just slept with everyone. XD

LW simply because he/she had a better, more personal story.

but i like to RP that my wanderer went to California to reestablish contact with the western brotherhood of steel. When that failed, he began life as a courier until he could find a way back home after his vertibird got destroyed shortly after reaching California. So it doesn't matter to me.
