Which Fallout protagonist is canonically the strongest?
>>
Probably the Courier.
>>
Courier, probably.
By the end of OWB you've got so much tech inside you you're basically the Major from GitS.
>>
Whichever one you gave the most Strength to.
>>
>>322363427
What if one has higher agility?
>>
Courier
He has Orky luck, is a Jensen-tier cyborg, has either complete or partial control of House's robots and has forged major alliances with factions spanning the entire West Coast
>>
The sole survivor
because his level cap is infinite
>>
Well, the lone survivor was in the U.S. military, and those guys were hardened af.

The courier gets shot in the head and lives, so it's hard to argue that.

The lone wanderer was a pussy.

Protags from 1 and 2 are too Role play centered to be "canonically" stronger or weaker than the others.
>>
Vault Dweller is canonically a speech build, Chosen One is stronk but also a sneaky/speech build. Lone Wanderer is probably an INT build Courier is LUC+CHA, Sole Survivor relies on Power Armor crutch
>>
Chosen One has a car. He wins by default
>>
You can go full cyborg with any of them, what's the difference?
>>
>>322363727
Protag of 1 single handedly took out the mutant problem that nearly overtook the wasteland, showcased the Brotherhood to be a bunch of pussies and started a colony of survivalists, hes most likely the single most canon-rooted protagonist of them all.
>>
The Vault Dweller was strong and beating The Master is impressive, but not enough

The Chosen One beat Frank fucking Horrigan so he's automatically contending for #1

Lone Wanderer didn't do fucking anything

Courier beat multiple armies, the Sierra Madre, Lanius, and Ulysses so he's the one contending with The Chosen One

Sole Survivor didn't do fucking anything either, neither he or the Lone Wanderer even had final boss's

Pre-OWB Courier vs Chosen One would be pretty even, but once The Courier gets augmented he's pretty much the most powerful person in the wasteland. Not to mention he effectively becomes the entire places protector, bringing in Big MT tech when necessary.

Which is all kind of funny considering he was just a mailman who was VERY dedicated to his job
>>
>>322363918
>Vault Dweller is canonically a speech build

Really? Where is that stated? Not trying to be antagonistic, just curious.
>>
>>322364210
>just a mailman who was VERY dedicated to his job
Yer a shitty mailman otherwise
>>
>>322364328

They went with the premade character Albert when it came to modeling who he was canonically in the later games.
>>
>>322364006
He crashed that shit in the Mojave, you can find the wreck in NV.
>>
>>322363687
This is the only correct answer
>>
>>322364362
It's one thing to just be good at your job but The Courier tracks down the guy who shot him in the fucking head twice and still delivers the Platinum chip
>>
>>322364436
Huh, never noticed that. That's neat. I always preferred the diplomatic solution to FO1, even though it kinda made the master look like an idiot.
>>
>>322363036
Courier because augs
>>
>>322364210
>Which is all kind of funny considering he was just a mailman who was VERY dedicated to his job

You have to be pretty fucking tough to be a mailman in a hostile place like the Wasteland.
>>
The Courier the only one with any sense of fashion
>>
>>322363036
Unlike TES we cant rate them on magical power shit so we have to rate them on their political strength. If we exclude companions as allies I'd say Sole Survivor wins this one.

BOS and Railroad aside, the Sole Survivor is the only one that has control of either a technological shadow state or an empire.

>Vault Dweller
Leader of a vault tribe, allies with BoS & NCR

>Chosen One
Effectively leader of the tribe now, so they're in control of a HECK-assisted super community. Other than that they're inherently hated by the Enclave but they're all gone now Unless bethesda decides to make neo-enclave dlc

>Lone Wanderer
BoS lapdog, controls possibly the only purified water resource in the wasteland (excluding Sole Survivor's settlement buckets)

>Courier
Probably the only one that has a chance if SS and Courier decide to fuck with each other.
On the assumption that the Commonwealth attacks the Mojave Wasteland:

>Minuteman vs NCR or Legion is debatable
>Minutemen vs House would probably lead to Minutemen defeat
>Minuteman vs Independent Mojave would be hard to tell since we don't know the long term outcome of our effect on the mojave, but I feel MM would win this one since it would basically be an organized state militia vs a state militia

>Institute vs NCR or Legion would be the same as Institute vs everyone in the commonwealth with coursers infiltrating as Ranger Veterans and Legionnaires
>Institute vs House would just be a robot war with the institute winning
>Institute vs Independent Mojave would end with mass hysteria on the latter's side
>>
The Courier is full cyborg by the end of NV.
>>
>>322363727
What are you talking about? The Vault Dweller is the most canonically mapped character in Fallout
>>
>>322363036
Courier > Chosen One > Vault Dweller > Sole Survivor > Lone Wanderer

It's implied that he became a hardened combat badass by the end of Fallout. Mainly from the fact that he charged into Mariposa guns blazing and blew the Master apart with a turbo-plasma rifle. He also says that he saw how much he had changed after being kicked out by the Overseer.
>>
>>322364098
It's accepted that canonically the Protags complete all of the DLC. By the end of Old World Blues, whether you get back your old organs or not, you still have significant cybernetic modifications in your body.
>>
The Courier has enough at their disposal to become an immortal cyborg god-king with an army of robots and other allied factions.

I haven't finished FO4 yet, but I assume the Sole Survivor can become the leader of the Institute. If so, they're probably the only one able to come close to the Courier.
>>
>>322366826
>Minutemen beating anyone
>especially an independent New Vegas and its Securitrons

And while the Institute has the resources they don't have the expertise, sure they can cause panic and hysteria with their synths but the second they go against an actual army what could they do? The BoS posed a threat to them in FO4, fuck, even the Railroad which consists of 10 idiots was too much for them.
>>
>>322367575
Could The Courier just teleport a huge fucking Robo-Scorpion into the Institute?

I mean, if the fucking Minutemen can successfully assault them it would be trivial for The Courier to with Big MT tech
>>
>>322363036
Courier
>>
>>322366826
>Minutmen
>Empire

The Minutemen are literally local vigilantes that wander around dressed up like retards that wait on farms to call for help so they can shoot some Super Mutants away.

Securitrons would wipe the floor with them. Think about, lore-wise, how well equipped they are:

>Grenade launcher
>Gatling laser
>9mm submachine gun
>Rocket launcher
>>
>>322366826
The Minutmen couldn't beat anyone. Especially not the NCR, Legion or Securitrons.
>>
>>322366826
Literally ANY faction in New Vegas would wipe the Minutemen out with minimum effort

Their equipment literally consists of shirts, rags, leather, double barrel shotguns, pipe guns, and laser muskets. They are all poorly trained and get their shit stomped by everyone in Fallout 4.

this fucking faggot...

its true though
>>
>>322366826
Independent Vegas would beat The Institute

The Courier has access to BOTH The Big MT and Sierra Madre in addition to being a cyborg who could probably just infiltrate and destroy The Institute by himself
>>
>>322366826
The Minutemen are literally only compared with the Desert Rangers, since they're similar in that theyr'e localized vigilantes without any real organization.

Even then, from what we hear from Tycho the Desert Rangers had master training and excellent gear, and even they barely managed to fight off the Legion scouting raids until the NCR rolled in.

The Minutemen would lose to pretty much everyone in the Mojave except for the raider tribes, even then they'd have their hands full without the SS to do everything for them.
>>
>>322367601
None of the factions against the Institute would have realistically won if it weren't for the protagonist; they're the only ones that would have "won" without help. If they didn't have the sole survivor, they would have had Kellog. I also consider the BoS that attacked them a powerful entity in the wasteland since it's arguably the most powerful iteration of them in the series.

>>322368115
>>322368213
>>322368346
>>322368698
The vanilla fo4 minuteman NPCs that you can call with flareguns are weak as piss no doubt about it, but I'm including all the settlers and settlements that can support them as part of the militia. These guys you can personally equip with weapons and armor. In retrospect though, it would still be a tough battle against trained soldiers. I'd wait for the inevitable DLC to compare the minutemen against anyone else seriously.
>>
My dick.
>>
>>322368812
Even if you equip settlers with the best damn armor in the game they still have pitiful health and go down extremely easily

A squad of Veteran Rangers could pretty much pick off the entirety of The Minutemen at a distance with Anti Material Rifles
>>
what you niggas seem to forget is that the courier has access to NUKES, something that the other ones dont have

courier wins automatically
>>
>>322369058
And holograms

>>322363036
The courier.

>>322369161
Including DLC makes it kind ridiculous

>Holograms
>ICBM's
>Robo-Scorpions, mutated plants, Cazadores, and all the other crazy shit from OWB
>Can just unleash the cloud if HE really wants to kill someone
>>
>>322369480
If we include DLCs, the lone wanderer has access to a huge mother fucking spaceship in space that can obliterate the entire west coast in minutes
>>
>>322369673
but anon
it was a dream
>>
>>322363036

Probably the Courier.

He's fighting several factions by himself. Later on creates alliances, wipes most of them out or bring them under his heel.

Can control legions of Securi-trons as well as the plant that makes em.

Can potentially become immortal through cyborg implants and House's technology.

Can control Vegas in the end.


Lone Wanderer and Sole Survivor didn't do jack shit compared to the Courier.

>>
>>322367804

Hell, even the Railroad can destroy the Institute.

They're toothless. Not as deadly and threatening as the factions in New Vegas are.

Legion would walk all over Boston.

New Vegas DLCs shows that the Courier has too many allies and an army at his back plus access to a ton of technology in the end.

Isn't the Lone Survivor a war veteran? I'd say that makes him much more "powerful" (as in, more capable in combat) than vault dwellers and couriers.
>>
>>322370562
r u dumb or did you only play 4?
the chosen one kills fucking horrigan
>>
Without a doubt the most powerful group in Fallout is the Sierra Madre. Love or hate the DLC, Elijah latched on to something powerful there.
>>
>>322370687
The chosen one was a tribal with a friend who but sticks up his nose. Survivor would have a better time killing Horrigan.
>>
>>322370687
For all we know, that could have been a clutch moment.

Generally, someone trained to wage war is much more effective at killing people than the untrained.
>>
>>322370562
Courier was involved in the battle of hoover dam, so he was in the war.
>>
>muh strong cyborg Courier

Did you faggots even play Fallout 4? Kellogg was an augmented crazy ass cyborg assassin and he got his ass handed to him by the Sole Survivor

Given what couriers have to go through in the Mojave, I'd say they make war veterans look like fuckboys.

>>322370950
A war between two post-apocalypse factions. Lone Survivor took part in a pre-apocalypse war with all kinds of crazy tech in play and on a much larger scale.

Not to mention that being in one battle can't be compared to a longer tour of duty.

Individually? Courier. He's effectively a cyborg by end of NV.
Overall? Warrior. General of the most powerful and pragmatic BoS chapter in Falloutverse, also backed by (and in 1 ending directly controlling) army of self-replicating robots.
>>
>>322371052
Scaling in Fallout 4 was weird as fuck. I wish they made the Kellogg fight later in the game but considering everything after him I'm not sure how they'd incorporate it.
>>
>>322370562
I think surviving in the wasteland would give someone at least as much combat experience as fighting in a war, if not more. All the player characters kill thousands of raiders and mutated monsters in their quests. If we're talking at the beginning of their games, then sure, the Sole Survivor would probably win then.
>>
>>322370916
>>322370938
in any case, all the other main characters do cool shit like killing the master, killing horrigan, blowing up the mobile base, and everything the courier did.

Sniper perk + 10 Luck is 100% critical hit chance. 300% Small Guns skill is 95% hit chance on the eyes with an aimed shot at the greatest distance a weapon can fire. Better Criticals perk gives a +20 on the damage roll, guaranteeing that everyone single one of the shots to the eyes gives the target: Blindness, knockdown + blindness, knockout + blindness, or instant death. This is also without considering the HP or armor of the target. Also, either knockdown or knockout guarantees getting another shot, which then repeats the process. Even if he never gets the instant death roll, he can effectively stun-lock his target with shots to the eyes. If he wanted to stun-lock without trying for an instant death roll, he could shoot for the groin instead. With the above criteria, every shot to the groin is a guaranteed knockdown or knockout.

He kills behemoths, deathclaws, sentry bots and clears entire super mutant settlements on his own, with little to no effort.

even rockets don't do much to this fucker. Gauss Rifle, Browning M2 and EMP grenades are pretty much only things effective aganist that armor.

But general issue of Courier's army is that he can't make more Securitrons. Any loses he takes, he cannot restore. Calculator has robot factories, BoS even finds factory with nuclear-powered bomber in production.
Even NCR and Legion would eventually overwhelm them, if they were willing to deal with loses.

>>
>>322373308

This is my main issue with FNV. By the end of the DLCs you're practically immortal no matter what route you choose. Unless your character chooses to walk away from it all you're destined to be a powerhouse capable of taking over North America and rebuilding it as well. You can't just ignore that, even with the East/West split and different developers. The only other option is to pull a Nerevarine/Revan and have them travel off to god knows where to deal with an even greater, more unknown threat.

When Courier asks House if he will use them aganist NCR and legion, he admits that he will still be overpowered in total war. That's the reason for Courier had to back NCR. Bled out NCR could be intimidated into retreat, Legion would most likely put up a fight, and war would kept going

Courier, obviously.

Courier got to be the chosen one because he MADE himself the chosen ones through his actions.

De-construction plant? It was not factory, it was scrapyard built because O could not figure out why House's Securitrons are better than their own robots.

>military combat experience ain't worth jack shit in gang warfare, where you have to work under radar of law enforcement.

Actually many gang members make good use of their military experience, mostly in the proper use and maintenance of firearms, urban combat (corner checking, fields of fire, cover, etc), as well as logistics and organization.

Would Ulysses eventually leave The Divide and join up with The Courier in the Independent ending?

The two of them together would be pretty formidable

silverback vs kodiak
>>
If Ulysses is alive, I believe so after some years, since if he's alive he says that he will stay there so nothing in the Divide goes to the Mojave, if I remember correctly.
>>
Courier is one of the most powerful men in post- apocalyptic world.
>>
The Sole Survivor was pre-war military. He would have had training and experience that went well beyond the others.
>>
>>322375109
I don't think i would trust Ulysses as an ally. Motherfucker is really mentally unstable.
>>
>>322375475
He's the most sane character of all Fallouts, though, and is completely right about nuking NCR and Legion.

Military training wouldn't apply to most situations where you're on your own with no back-up

Or who talked Lanius down. Or who allied with Lanius.

New Vegas doesn't have one ending only.
>>
>>322375971
He was a cyborg, not a synth. In terms of being built up to be a total badass he was more along the lines of Courier-lite.
>>
>>322374096
>Courior's story is pretty self contained, most of the work you do is destined to fall apart anyway.
Not necessarily true. If Courier actually sticks around to lead and shit he can keep it going for a while.
>>
>>322371052
Kellogg really just wasn't very good.

He's supposed to the baddest guy around but his resume consists of beating some shitty gen 1 synths and completely botching his most important assignment by killing 33% of the pure gene pool. The courier is on a different level
>>
>>322374096
Not at all.

The good karma Independent ending pretty much secures Vegas as a major stable power.

>>322375456
Judging by Broken Steel, the pre-war military isn't very impressive when they're not wearing power armor
>>
Courier, probably.

Definitely not Lone Survivor just by the fact that if it came down to a power armor duel hes fucking done because everybody elses power armor lasts forever and his doesnt.
>>
>>322376324
It wouldn't. Most military training is about fighting as a team and using air/artillery support. A sniper might survive, given how effective they are in every fallout game but really a hunter/survivalist (a real one, not some fat confederate flag waving redneck) is the one who is going to make it.
>>
>>322363687
The level cap in F2 is 99 though and has more OP perks and equipment than Fallout 4.

I'd say operation Anchorage shows that a bit better.

>>322375036
You mix actual military training with basics even airsofters understand and follow. That's a long topic, to put it short combat training goes by law of diminishing returns. Basics that make biggest difference are also easiest to learn, even at local range or at survival camp

To be fair, a redneck would at least know how to kill and cook his own food. Unlike most soldiers.

Power level wise? The Courier

The Vault Dweller is canonically the biggest badass motherfucker though
>Volunteered to go out into the wasteland when it was still in a very shitty post-apocalyptic state
>Managed to explore and survive the Glow
>Took out the super mutants almost entirely on his own, despite most likely having minimal combat experience before leaving the vault
>After going through all sorts of bullshit to save the vault only to get permamently kicked out, he just promptly goes back out into the wasteland to form his own tribe
>>
>>322378112
The Chosen One and Courier are both bigger badasses

The Chosen One always has a funny quip ready, gets laid everywhere he goes, becomes a Porn Star Prizefighter AND Made Man, defeats the entire Enclave, made a new tribe after his got wiped out, and he knocked up a mob bosses wife

The Courier was literally just a mailman who starts off as a necessary casualty in Bennys plan and ends up turning himself into Wasteland Jesus
>>
>>322378571
The Vault Dweller had the hardest life, minimal outside assistance, the weakest arsenal in comparison to other protagonist and didn't have the privilege of living in a civilized wasteland like the chosen one and courier

In terms of meta, Sole Survivor because lol no level cap

But canonically, its easily the courier. The guy (or gal) is a potentially a cyborg science director who brings the state of Nevada personally under his/her control beating the Roman Empire lite and High tax expansionists.

Also courier has motherfucking Survivalist Rifle.

The courier, most of the other protagonists were born in vaults, the courier most likely wasn't, and he was shot in the head, defeated the think tank, Ulysseus, Father Elijah, and a bunch of mentally handicapped tribals, only one that rivals is, imo, the lone wanderer because he defeated the whole pit, a full mothership full of aliens with better tech, and a bunch of mutated rednecks at point lookout, and he was only 19, which makes him badass in my book.
>>
>>322394938
Also not to meantion he spearheaded the destruction of the Enclave, a highly trained advanced military outfit

Courier defeats the Legion who is pretty much the most intimidating faction in the entire FO canon up to this point
