Which Fallout protagonist would win in a fight?
The Courier, hands down.
>>323478693
the one with spurs that jingle jangle jingle
>>323478693
Courier
fallout tactics guy
>>323478693
The Chosen one probably
>>323478693
Fallout 3.
He gets to his max level in the shortest time.
Why is The Courier the only one with a cool design
>>323478693
If we are talking about an in universe sense, Courier.
He has control over New Vegas (Or is helping to run New Vegas) with implants and way better future tech than any of the other ones.
If we are talking in a meta sort of sense, Lone Survivour because infinite levels and power armour.
sole survivor
they've got power armor and an attack dog 15 minutes into the fucking world
No mini nukes
>>323480142
He is the Chosen one, afterall. His Religion or culture or whatever the fuck basically says that he can't die. That seemed to run true in Fallout 2.
Sole Survivor because he was in the army
I haven't played the first 2 fallouts so I don't know about them but I would think that the courier would have the securitrons (and maybe the families) as help while the lone wanderer would have the lyon's pride as backup and the sole survivor would have his power armor and the minutemen
Your fucking favorite, they're all pretty much just you except for 4and he'd get fucked up first
>>323481198
>I haven't played the first 2 fallouts so I don't know about them but
Fallout fandom in 2016
unfuckinreal
>>323481329
god forbid every other person on the planet didn't play the exact games as you
>>323481891
You completely missed his point.
Anyone except for the Lone Wanderer or the FO4 guy
>>323480195
Everyone besides the Courier is just aping the Vault Dweller's design.Chosen One actually has a good reason for doing so, but still.
>>323480281
Technically speaking, Chosen One can get his hands on Advanced Power Armor just as soon.
sole survivor
>no level cap
>no skill checks
>crits on demand
>>323483383
>having to actually charge crits
>not just having 100% crit chance build
Lord gabe
Sole survivor becomes immortal in a side quest, from Cabot House.
Courier has seen some shit.
Every other protag seems destined to do what they do (Beating The Master, Enclave, etc.) while The Courier just sort of shows up and kicks everyone's ass because he has a god damn package to deliver
>>323484181
Courier is a mary sue.
>>323484181
>Gets captured and shot and left for dead by fucking BENNY and like 3 great Kahns
>Somehow an ass kicker
lol.
Probably the Courier or the Chosen One, they're the two with more experience in the Wasteland, I think.
>>323484834
He fucking nuked the divide, he just was caught off guard.
>>323480202
>infinite levels
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Level
>Fallout 4 does not have a level cap[1], although after the level 65535 the game crashes.
>>323485282
Kain is deified the clans tell tales of him
Courier has all the big mt upgrades along with an entire securitron army
I'd say he's got this
>>323485242
Oh wow he bumbled a doomsday box into the hands of incompetent assholes that unleashed nukes.
WHAT A BADASS.
>>323485506
SS has teleporting killerbots that are impossible to tell from normal people.
>>323485481
he was mortal once, as were we all
How will Sole Survivor not win?
>littered with power armor
>literally has his own personal armies
>none of his regular armor or weapons deteriorate
He's not fair.
Each fallout char gets taken to another's game i.e. Fallout 4 to 1 then fallout 3 to 4
Which one dies first?
Courier gives no fucks about your armies (fuck ncr and legion)
>implying this mother fucker isn't gonna fuck your PA shit up
>>323478693
Courier. Survived a fucking bullet to the head.
>>323486545
Sole survivor had the cushiest time in 4 so he'd easily die due to the harsh conditions of 1
>>323486176
everyone has certain factions working for them or with them by the end
>>323486751
this
also every protag gets power armor anyway so it's not a big deal.
>>323486562
>>323486734
Are we considering that SS has invincible companions?
>>323486545
3 and 4. They found out the hard way not to stack one thing when specing.
One thing you are all forgetting 1-2 and tactics can target you're groin, and if that doesn't cripple you the shot at the eyes will, you're fucked because of you're minimal VATS.
>>323486948
I'm actually interested in, if we ignore invincibility, infinite ammo, etc, who has the strongest companions?
>>323486917
and unlike all other implementations, fallout 4 has a massive glaring weakness any sniper type of character could easily abuse the fuck out of
so against perception build vault dweller or chosen one he's SOL
>>323478693
SS
Institute ending
>>323481329
It's ok to be a fan of fallout as anfpsrather than some borring top down turn based game.
>>323487229
you also gotta keep in mind just how MANY companions the various characters can use
which is a clear advantage to the original fallouts
>>323478693
Which TES Protagonist would win?
>has to find the asshole who shot him in the head twice
>either have to take down two (or three) armies or convince them to get the fuck off Hoover Dam
>gets his caravan ambushed by a bunch of Great War survivor descendants, and is thrown in the middle of two tribes conflicting
>had to punch ghost people with bear traps, endure toxic clouds, and fight security holograms for a former scribe of BoS
>gets his heart, spine, and brain ripped out of him and turns into a cyborg in OWB
>fight an army of Deathclaws, Tunnelers, and Marked Men in The Divide
I'd say Courier, but Sole Survivor has like weapons and armor that don't degrade
>>323487938
SS's armor does degrade though
>>323487938
every single courier has jury rigging (don't lie) so weapon degradation isn't all that big an issue
>>323478693
Either the Chosen One or The Courier.
>>323481198
I think it's supposed to be a one-on-one fight, if you're allowed to bring companions/allies then the Courier would always win because of the Securitron Army.
Also,
>I haven't played the first 2 fallouts
Get to it, you're missing out on the superior games.
>>323488437
The east coast BOS can steamroll the securitron army with Liberty Prime, and securitron armies won't help you against teleporting killer robots in your fucking bathroom.
>>323487882
>>323488607
Liberty Prime can be taken out by a combination of the Boomer bomber and the helios 2 system
>>323488976
The Helios 2 system does LAUGHABLE damage for something that can be shot once a day.
Don't think it could even take the SS's pet deathclaws.
>>323488607
You're really underestimating the Securitrons, IIRC the Courier has enough of them to cover the entirety of Outer Vegas and then some. So yeah, the BoS would have some trouble getting through them, and that's not even counting the amount of firepower the Boomers lend him.
>>323488607
>using liberty prime
>against House
he BUILD the damn thing, how likely is it he'll just hijack it the minute it shows up?
>>323489167
I don't think you remember the utter havoc Liberty Prime can wreak, without even mentioning his legions of super-power armored soldiers and Teleporting. Killer. Robots.
>>323489415
Considering he's dead because he trusted a mailman for no logical reason I'd say not very.
>>323489543
if he's dead then Yes Man has full control over his sub systems in which case Courier has a good shot at uploading Yes Man INTO Liberty Prime
Coursers>Securitron
>>323489543
You do realize that by that logic the SS can't use both liberty prime and the coursers yes?
>>323483052
I don't know this
how?
I only know about the ez power armor in fallout 1
>>323484181
dweller was just sent to get a water chip
A pretty good toss up between the Sole Survivor and the Courier.
One was trained in Pre War Special Forces, and fought the Chinese, as well as already knowing how to use power armor and most guns, and presumably hand to hand combat, not to mention his probably tip top physical shape.
Not much is known about the Courier, but if we're going off the beginning of both games, he doesn't have access to Power Armor, but at the same time to be a fucking mailman in the wasteland, especially one who pretty much brings destruction wherever they go, you have to be pretty able to take care of yourself. And he's immune to headshots. Probably.
After that we have 2 coddled Vault Dwellers and a stupid Tribal. (I don't care how good your drug trip rituals are, they can't beat Power Armor and Plot Armor.)
SO yeah. Courier or Survivor.
>>323489705
Not very, since Yes-man's main function is decrypting comms.
>>323489803
Honestly the coursers alone or liberty prime alone along with the rest of his forces are enough.
*teleports behind you
Beep Boop nothing personnel kid
>>323489772
Bullshit.
Alright lads, just started playing FO4. Any way to increase the brightness without having to go into windows' settings and altering gamma globally? Because I can't see jack fucking shit and I keep having to awkwardly go into VATS and then out of it just so that it highlights the enemies for me
>>323489772
at what?
Securitrons are vastly better at their job: namely security and frontline infantry
Sure Coursers are better at stealth but Securitrons weren't build for stealth
Courier wants that he can get nightkin to help
>>323489998
Nope
>>323489543
>they didn't take the Knights into consideration
Wouldn't a Securitron be at least one or two tiers below a Sentry Bot? I don't see a properly mobilized BoS having problems with House's Army even with Boomers behind them.
>>323489543
>he trusted a mailman for no logical reason
House probably had guessed a favorable percentage indicating that The Courier wouldn't betray him. Too bad Mr. House didn't factor in the fact that The Courier was actually being controlled by an otherworldly force.
>>323489993
Yes-Man has full control over House's systems, and the ability to jump into any RobCo robot
There is absolutely no way the brotherhood's jury rigging is going to stand up against a full scale hack by the RobCo mainframe
Bringing liberty prime to vegas is about the worst tactical move the BoS could possibly do
>>323489543
I don't think you remember the amount of firepower the Boomers have to bomb the BoS back to the stone age.
>>323490280
>House probably had guessed a favorable percentage indicating that The Courier wouldn't betray him.
House guessed wrong with Benny and he didn't even let him in close, but he lets in the courier after knowing him for like a week.
Honestly the plot in NV is pretty damn silly at times.
>>323490162
>SPECIAL past 10
>>323478693
Sole Survivor, no questions asked.
>>323489803
House could probably hack coursers and liberty prime from a distance senpai
Not to mention that no amount of power armored terrorists can last more than an hour exposed to the Cloud and holograms
>>323480142
>>323480551
>>323483052
>>323485142
>>323488437
CHOSEN ONE?
WE'RE ENCLAVE>Why the fuck isn't your radio working?
>>323490360
The BOS has an army they spent 10 years building, countless power amors, flying ships and tons of salvaged enclave Tech.
They'd have no issue with the boomers.
>>323490204
nope, they're above Sentry Bot level due to their dual rocket launchers combined with a grenade launcher
also its not lone sentry bot vs BoS ambush, its BoS being outnumbered 20 to 1 by things equipped with rocket launchers
and boomers have long range weapons that are canonically capable of oneshotting fully armored BoS knights
Fallout 1 and 3 - sheltered cry-babies who grew up in a vault
Fallout 4 - 1950s-like husband who's completely out of place
Fallout: NV - a retard with amnesia
Fallout 2 - a violent savage who's been killing radscorpions with his bare hands since he was a child
So take a guess.
>>323489968
>After that we have 2 coddled Vault Dwellers and a stupid Tribal. (I don't care how good your drug trip rituals are, they can't beat Power Armor and Plot Armor.)
10 luck and jinxed tho
>>323490401
Yes, F4 is in fact the only fucking Fallout game to do teh logical thing and have the player be able to surpass 10 special with aid.
It's fucking hilarious that a strongman doesn't get any stronger in power armor.
>>323478693
What if they all showed up naked and unarmed and Frank Horrigan attacks them
>>323490673
No critical misses in F3-4.
>>323490389
>House guessed wrong with Benny
Even a 10% chance can happen. Not saying the that was the percentage exactly, but I think of House as a robot - like P.A.M. He calculates likelihoods into neat numbers. Sometimes, data is wrong.
>>323490598
Why do idiots think the Courier has amnesia? He remembers a lot of shit the game devs just don't want to force a backstory on you.
>>323490598
>Retard with amnesia that survives a bullet to the noggin
>>323490812
Critical misses need to make a comeback. I want to see guns exploding and magazines falling out.
>>323490813
He's a fucking idiot who let in a wastelander into his inner sanctum for no reason when he didn't trust his chosen protege to do so after years of loyal service.
>>323490598
1950s-like husband with prior combat experience you mean. Operation Anchorage guys have seen some shit.
>>323490162
>can improve special stats at will
>low stats mean nothing, high stats also mean nothing
>companions go past 10 into ridiculous territory
Why do they even have SPECIAL if they're going to shit all over it?
>>323490929
To clarify though, by this I mean he has plot induced stupidity. It isn't really his fault.
Coursers vs Mk6 Robo-Scorpions
who wins?
>>323490523
YOU MOOOORON!
>>323490980
Courier has been traveling the most dangerous areas of the wasteland for a living at least a decade or two
sure husband may have combat experience but courier's experience has vastly more practical application
>>323481198
Seriously, listen the the other guys anon. Get to playing them, they're fantastic.
>>323490693
>with armor mods I can carry more outside of Power Armor than inside
>>323491023
You mean they vastly improved it.
You could already waste perk points to improve SPECIAL in previous games, and it's absolutely stupid that you couldn't go past 10 in fucking power armor.
>Don a walking human-shaped tank of destruction
>Only as strong as a strong man at best.
>>323491357
I agree. I'm saying the only competition is Courier and Survivor.
If the Chosen One can strap a gun to the Highwayman and do drivebys then I'd say he's a solid contender.
>>323491173
robo scorpions just sting the coursers and steal their intelligence
>>323494594
Wouldn't work since he can't see what he's doing during fast travel and he can't drive normally.
>>323478693
courier>/=vault dweller>chosen one>lone wanderer >>>>>>>>>>shit survivor
prove me wrong
>>323495240
>vault dweller>chosen one
What? The only thing Vault Dweller has over Chosen One are Stealth Boys and the ability to access inventory with just 1AP if you get all three ranks of the perk. And maybe Mental Block perk or that mental attack blocking stuff you put on your head.
Also:
>shit survivor
Just because you dislike Bethesda doesn't mean the character is weak. In fact, he is pretty much McGuyver of the Fallout universe.
>>323480089
This.
F: Tactics > Courier>Chosen One > ????
F:Tactics beats Courier because he rolls up with his whole squad.
>>323480089
>>323496024
You mean the Warrior. That's his/her name.
Gotta say he is a pretty strong contender. Not only has 5 other guys to help, but also in his/her game you can literally get a Gauss minigun. Or M2HB with depleted uranium ammo.
Oh, and let's not forget the vehicles. Scout car/Hummer/APC/Sherman tank, basically all you need for attack/scouting/troop transport. Oh, and if someone hides in a Vault, then he/she can blow up the door with a nuke carrier.
>>323497004
>>323478693
From a gameplay perspective it's either the Sole Survivor or Lone Wanderer.
Bethesda just flat out doesn't care about character balance. Hence the bobble-heads, books, and perks every level. The PC's in 3 & 4 become gods incarnate of the wasteland capable of any feat.
Meanwhile the other games limit your growth more, requiring nuanced builds allowing your character to be good at only a handful of skills. The PC's of those titles are still very capable but they have to play to their strengths.
>>323497297
Yeah, this. You just need to compare one perk between F3 and NV to see the differences in Bethesda's and Obsidian's game design.
haven't played any Fallout, about to start the first one, now
what should i expect ?
i know nothing about the series and don't plan on learning nothing more than the game teaches me
will i have a fulfillling experience or more background is needed in order to properly play the game ?
>>323497297
>mfw beating the game and then the Chosen One gets the fallout 2 hintbook
>>323490530
Pre-war bombers.
That's like taking on a B-52 with a Sopwith Came
Numbers don't enter into it.
>>323497004
Thanks, I couldn't remember it.
>>323481329
Fallout wasn't a big franchise until it went 3d.
Fuck off m8.
This can be easily answered.
Vault dweller and Choosen one are completely fucked since one crit is enough to kill them even if they have the best armor avaiable to them. FO3 guy is just inferior to the endless money of Courier or the non existing level cap with the sole survivor.
Sole survivor has by far the strongest power armor, in every other game they are just a tad stronger than normal armor, except for new vegas where the power armor is worse than the best avaiable normal armor.
Sole survivor would be basically invincible. Nothing could kill him fast enough for him to not be able to just heal himself and go on. Only way I can see Courier winning is by his huge advantage in having almost unlimited resources and the sole survivor running out way faster. But by the time resources would be a problem the courier would be probably long dead.
The Courier > The Vault Dweller > The Chosen One > The Lone Wanderer > The Sole Survivor
Coincidentally this is also the ranking of the Fallout games.
>>323500751
But that's wrong
>>323498845
Yes it was. Gaming in general wasn't anywhere near as popular back then as it was now, but the Fallout games were viewed as some of the best PC RPGs. Deal with it.
