It would've been cool if, only one time in the entire game, you can randomly meet a vault dweller with a Vault 101 suit equipped and a dog behind him. You can ask him what he's doing and he says he just wandering alone. Then you never see him again.
Dude if he HAS a dog Behind him it Would be Dogmeat DUH but when The Sole Survivor [aka Nate or Nora] goes to the Red Rocket Station, He Meets Dogmeat, The First Companion you Could 'Meat' while the second one being Preston, if this was a Random Encounter, i would probably say You will Randomly encounter a Vault Dweller with a Vault 101 Jumpsuit WITH his Hunting Rifle and/or Butch in his Side, but This will Also Break the Deacon Theory [and i mean is Deacon the Lone Wanderer] And if he WAS ALive then Elder Maxson would already Assign YOU to Recruit The Lone Wanderer aka By Finding him [this happens if you joined the BOS] not only that The Railroad would Already Mention him Wandering around the Commonwealth and Possibly Give you a Quest to Find The Lone Wanderer... (this is the 4th time i edited this theory dafuq...)
He and The Courier are sipping on Nuka-Cola somewhere in the Wastelands sharing stories while Rex and Dogmeat play in a field. Veronica and Paladin Cross compare Brotherhood chapters. Boone and Charon staring blankly at each other in silence. Lily chatting with with Fawkes. ED-E and Seargant RL-3 shooting mole rats. Arcade and Cass awkwardly talking to Jericho and Clover. Butch offering Raul a haircut.
I think the Lone Wanderer is the type of guy who will never settle down. He probably has Flo on his left and Mary on his right, and Rosie on his chest, _as we speak_ in Fallout 4.
I think the lone wanderer is on the mothership zeta, protecting the earth from other alien ships. I really like this idea of him being the captain of an alien ship with Sally, Elliot and Toshiro as his crew. That would also explain the alien craft who crash in F4.
My thoughts exactly, if the LW decided too stay on the mothership it could explain how Sarah Lyons managed to die and how the aliens was were shot down in Fallout 4 & NV
Yeah. other alien crafts had crash in previous fallout games, but in the case of Fallout 4, we see the crash and there is smoke. He could had a motor problem, but i like more the theory of him being shot by the LW xD
I would be completely fine with that. And they would all be... In the mid fucking west. I know that what is already there isn't 100% canon. but it could be fiddled with or even made to be canon. Plus it's a good middle zone.
Well for Macready the LW wasnt that big of an influence. Arthur Maxson, that's a different story. He probably split from the brotherhood when Maxson took over, disagreeing with him on returning to the west coast brotherhood ideals about locals and technology.
Peter Lane you would think he would talk about this guy that he met that walked into vault 87 and never came out if you think about you get kidnapped he never sees you leave
Yeah, MacCready couldve said something like "Hey, I remember meeting someone that came through Little Lamplight that was also wearing a Pip-Boy, I dont really remember much about them other than them entering the mutant-infested vault next to us and then they turned out to be a pretty big deal." Because no matter what karma path you chose in fallout 3, the lone wanderer was a big deal no matter what. Aand you have to go through little lamplight to enter vault 87 no matter what too, so it wouldve been realllly cool if bethesda did include a reference to the lone wanderer :/ sorry for my rant lol
I have a theory of my own with evidence. I think Deacon actually IS the Lone Wanderer. Here are all my points of reason. 1: Deacon makes a joke about President Eden (whom almost NOBODY in the Commonwealth had ever heard of, outside the Brotherhood) 2: At one point in asking his thoughts, Deacon says "maybe we should come up with a team name. Code Violet? Death bunnies?" While playing the Replicated Man quest, Harkness' recall code is A3-21 Recall Code VIOLET. As you know, synth recall codes are EXTREMELY secret pieces of information, generally known only to members of the Institute. The fact that Deacon knows Harkness' recall code would be impossible if he had not physically met Dr. Zimmer in Rivet City at that time. 3: Deacon's humanity and honesty are always contested. The game is incredibly intent on making you wonder if his back story about his supposed synth wife was true and the Sole Survivor can choose to believe that he is lying. If you do, he will say "well, either way, thanks for putting up with me all this time". He talks about guilt surrounding unspecified bad decisions he made (evil Karmic decisions as the Wanderer?) and how he murdered the University Point Deathclaws after killing his wife. (There is no mention of any of that happening in any of the terminals at University Point, and the entire town was killed off by the Institute) This could actually be a heavily embellished version of another story, like how the Brotherhood murdered Sarah Lyons for whatever reason (implied though not proven). Or how the Enclave murdered James. After beating Broken Steel, Sarah Lyons may tell the Wanderer "If things weren't so crazy now, maybe we could be...friends.." hinting at a possible romantic future between the two which would never come to pass upon her death. 4: Deacon says "The Brotherhood. In the Capital Wasteland, they really weren't bad, but now..." This proves that Deacon had met with the Brotherhood in the Capital Wasteland. The Brotherhood would have treated him as hostile for being a Railroad agent, so there is very little reason that Deacon would openly deal with them unless he wasn't a Railroad agent at the time. 5: He keeps saying "Did I ever tell you about my time in the Capital Wasteland? Now there's a tale" Yet we never ONCE actually hear about it, though it would make an effective reference 6: Deacon says he hasn't partnered up "for a long time". 10 years is a long time. Also, he prefers being alone. LONE. LONE WANDERER. 7: He mentions Victoria Watts during one of his approval talks. She is an original member of the Railroad that the Lone Wanderer actually meets during the Replicated Man quest. She will tell the Wanderer that if they LIE to Zimmer (Deacon's specialty!), they will join the Railroad as a member in good standing. This would not only be Deacon's start in the Railroad, but a focal point of his inclination towards lying. 8: Deacon had multiple facial reconstruction surgeries. The Lone Wanderer had access to the same service during THE REPLICATED MAN quest after meeting Dr Horace Pinkerton. There are rumors that Deacon was a girl once, making both DEACON's AND THE WANDERER'S genders historically ambiguous. 9: Deacon, despite his surgeries, has the appearance and demeanor of someone in their late 20s-early 30s. The Lone Wanderer would be 29, which Deacon could pass for. Also, his knowledge of Shakespeare and Proust is the kind of education people usually get in Vaults. Deacon seems to be knowledgeable about anything the Lone Wanderer would know or have experienced. Honestly, I'm surprised nobody else has figured that out yet.
This actually makes ALOT of sense. It could be that after Sarah Lyons died/assassinated, the LW became disenfranchised with the BoS and left. Not sure if we will ever know what happened to him, but it is a good theory.
Personally, I believe the Lone Wanderer, after all he's been through, would have likely settled down maybe, and stayed behind in the Capital Wasteland and aided Vault 101 in their recovery and survival in the wasteland, not to mention there are still people there he cares very much about, including Amata. Despite her saying that he can no longer come to the Vault, she did say maybe in time when things calm down and get settled, he may be able to return. So, perhaps after the events of Broken Steel and perhaps some years after, he decides to retire or just take a break from the Brotherhood and stuff to take care of what remains of his family and home. Also in regards to the Wasteland Survival Guide entries in the Commonwealth, I honestly don't think those are actually supposed to be the legit copies of the Capital Wasteland variants. For one, the original was all one book, all survival tips merely separated by chapters in the book. Whereas in the Commonwealth, I think some kid or teenager had the opportunity to read the book, and was influenced by it that he made his own spin-off of it, suited for the Commonwealth rather than the Capital wasteland, hence things like farming, hunting, and looking for Diamond City are things that wouldn't be suited for the urban environments of D.C. And there are very sparse populations in D.C. that actually utilize hunting/farming. Most people use the caravans and cities for their basic needs. (Albeit in the background, those cities and caravans are supplied by invisible farmers and hunters, blah blah) So yeah. I don't really understand where people come from when they see the Commonwealth version and think "Oh, it has the same title, must be the same book entirely!" That's just so obviously not the case.
Um hate to burst your bubble but you get a quest when you exit the vault in FO3 and you either release nuclear fumes into the vault or you kill the overseer and everyone leaves
The Lone Wanderer got involved in a scheme to smuggle Irish immigrants into the American Wasteland from across the Atlantic in order to ensure that there was enough stereotypical Drunken Irishmen with bad Lucky Charms accents to populate the next 10 Fallout games.
Imagine this : You come across a masked, armoured, ex vault dweller from the capital wasteland, armed with small arms (will vary). Dialogue: “Hey. You a Vault Dweller?” “Heard of the Capital Wasteland? No more dirty water.” If With Dogmeat: “I had a dog. Then he died. Poor mutt.” “Hey, cute dog. Reminds me of mine.” If with Nick “What kind of synth is that?” “Looking sharp.” If with Deacon “Is he railroad? Or is he just your friend? I’m guessing friend.” If with Danse “Hey, Brotherhood Paladin! I know some Brotherhood people. Well, knew.” If with MacCready “You remind me of somebody... wasn’t exactly a nice person.” If with Institute at ending. “Hey, you’re the director of that institute. Can you say hi to one of the doctors for me?” Imagine this: You come across an armoured, and familiarly masked Courier from the Mojave Wasteland, armed with either small arms or a rifle (will vary). (Added cuz why tf not) Dialogue: "Got nothing for you. If I did, it'd have come." "I'm not lost. I'm exploring." If with Dogmeat: "Cool dog. Must be a very good boy." "What's his name? Wait, don't tell me... Dogger." If with Paladin Danse: "Mojave doesn't have much in the line of the Brotherhood. But I did know someone in it." If with Codsworth or Curie (Ms Nanny): "Robot butler, huh? I had an eyebot." "General Atomics does make some good robots." If with Curie (Synth) or X6-88: "Synth. I can tell a difference between real and fake." If with X6-88: "Your friend scares me... creepy." If with MacCready: "I know a sniper guy. NCR. He's a real good shot. Shame about his wife." If with Minutemen at ending: "Well, something run by good people does better than something run by cruel people." After Ending: "I shaped the future of the Mojave. And I did it my way."
They’d probably have some dialogue with Doctor Li and Elder Maxson too. I’d be great if when they left the Prydwen they just went “See you later alligator.” To Maxson.
WAIT, you forgot one thing, Butch. If we're going by the highest karma ending to FO3, then the only resident of 101 that never goes back (besides you) is Butch. HE could've gone to the Commonwealth. HE could've left that 101 jumpsuit. It IS in his inventory.
that's actually a very solid point. He could have started atom cats too because of the vibe you get from that group. Also, it would very well explain why the tunnel snake hair do is a hair option in fallout 4 (im wrong some one correct me. but i do think that hair style is in fallout 4)
It's a similar hair style but not quite the same but it would make sense if he did start that group because who else would have the knowledge to except for a vault dweller
I would think he died fighting with Lyon's Pride. It would be a tidy explanation of why he isn't involved with Maxson in the events of Fallout 4 and a convenient way for Bethesda to avoid making official canon decisions on what your character from their last game looked like.
Or even better. He or she could be the Mysterious Stranger. Plus remember the character could use fake outfits like Deacon. Just put on a mustache and fake contacts. You can fool people like that since the eyes will mix with imagination
They could've undergone plastic surgery ... Changed their name... The tough thing for Bethesda is the fact that depending on the player, the lone wanderer could've been male or female and people would probably be upset if they chose a specific gender to represent the lone wanderer. :) Maybe they've placed a vault 101 jumpsuit somewhere on the bottom of the ocean in Fo4 - who knows xD
canonically Butch is also alive as somehow Macready met him otherwise how could he know the phrase tunnel snakes rule so that means that the lone wanderer most likely haf neutral karma
That, or Butch managed to make his own Gang in the Waste. Also Remember! After "Trouble in homefront" Butch leaves Vault101 and heads over to Rivet city (Strange how that guy managed to make it there without a single scratch or damage to his mentality).
Eddy Right, but that doesn't really justify how he heard the phrase "Tunnel-Snakes Rule". I mean, it's possible Butch passed by there, or spray painted it on a wall, but it still leaves it open ended.
also the possibility butch went to big town to recruit his gang and that macready was there bc he was kicked out of little lamp light bc he got to old or macready went to rivit city at some point
@@lolololbanana1829 bro he killed aliens and all of those things when he (or she in my case) was just 19 and without the military training the Operation anchorage simulation gave him , now imagine him being 29 years old,with military training ,power armor and a freaking alien arsenal
Maximus This could be true when you do the side quest where you return to Vault 101 for a while if you talk to butch he will say the he will leave the vault make A gang.
Muffin Cannibal - He's leaping around like a hyper-death-imp-on-crack in powered armour smokin an' smearin things allmost exclusively with mini nukes!.. F'Chrysake what the hell could these street dregs possibly have that someone throwing nukes around like they were horse-shoes need enough to poke through the irradiated remains to loot?.. The H.D.I.O.C. is clearly a top of the food chain apex predator, slumming it in style.... you don't loot from these saps.. you just collect souvenirs.
About the 101 jumpsuit, in the good karma ending with the second vault sidequest, you tell the Overseer that he need to open the vault to trade and open it to new genetics or the vault will die out. Maybe someone left from the Vault and came to the Commonwealth.
There's also an armored up vault 101 vault suit Moira gives you, meaning someone else left the vault before you did. Evidence enough that if one person left before The Lone Wanderer, many more could have
***** I was more or less kidding, but I mean No one knows who Deacon really is He showed up one day, and has had his appearance changed many many times He looks to be about 30 which sets his age roughly the same as the Lone Wanderers He's been to the Capital Wasteland and all over Hard to say He's also been to the Mojave, and New Vegas so who knows
problem, Deacon looks young and well fit, not the lone wanderer met MacCready when he is just a young kid, so either the lone wanderer is a fit senior citizen or dead
I think the Brotherhood Outcasts actually took control of the BoS, and that Elder Maxon and the Lone Wanderer would no longer have good relations. There is quite a bit of evidence within the FO4 world pointing to the Outcasts having gained control of the Brotherhood.
It's all circumstantial, but I look to the red emblems on a dark background that now mark BoS power armor as opposed to the silver and blue of previous Fallout games, and of course the red and black markings were the hallmark of the Outcasts. Also if you look at the apparent turn towrds the dark side of the Brotherhood in general it would appear that the Outcast's ideology has won out. I think that the Outcasts must have been able to take over the Brotherhood after Lyons' death and when Elder Maxon eventually took over he had either been turned to side with the Outcasts or has had to govern with the Outcast's interests at the front or risk the BoS falling back into a civil war.
the lone wanderer wouldnt have good relations with the brother hood more likely because of the neutral companions. he makes friends with both a super mutant and finds a city full of peaceful ghouls wile the fo4 brotherhood wants to eliminate basically anything not human or at least treat them as subclass. they bully and take what they need and thats not something a paragon would follow. i think he even says somewhere that after lyons died he made contact with the west coast and they reverted back their previous tactics, which was what the outcasts wanted in fo3. its not that the outcasts gained control so much as maxon returned it to the original ideals. it is fair to say though that maxon would have idolized the wonderer growing up and to some extent that would be why he returned the brotherhood to its old ways. that was after all the fear of him going back into vault 101, that other people would idolize him and go out into the waste like he did. and lets be honest even if he is a saint of the waste he more than likely left a pretty long trail of raider/super mutant/ ghoul bodies even if it was the "right way".
....That actually makes a lot of since. The Lone Wanderer's mother died when he was an infant and so he never got breast fed. THAT'S WHY STRONG IS ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR THE MILK OF HUMAN KINDNESS O_O
ikr we never thought you would make it WELL GUESS WHAT I DID oh god a nuke! look out! pfff no problem (BOOM) yawn im still here hey you die nope YES no *blows up megaton* hey we lived there i dont care now cya im just gonna go save my dad
Yeah, my guess is he and Dogmeat went to the midwest after going to the Commonwealth. Dogmeat definitely went with him because there's another pooch there for the Sole Survivor
I honestly think the line wanderer commuted suicide after Sarah lions died...think about it, LW wouldn't really have any friends besides lions and they're both dead, the things he worked for are In Turmoil...it's a definite possibility
+Caleb Hutchinson dog meat would be long gone, the original dog meat would be about 12-14 years old at the time of f4, there is no way dog meat would be that spry at that age, and even if he was alive he would die very soon
Maybe a level cap would have prevented 4 from being ridiculously easy, even on original survival mode BTW fucking hate that they got rid of original survival mode for the patched survival mode as it forces me to turn down the difficulty even more. Plus the patched survival mode it's so far from NV's survival mode and not really what most people wanted: NV's survival mode added a extra mechanic and didn't become the central part of the game like in 4..... So yeah, there's that......
They could also pull a U turn on it and say sure, project purity was a success - but The Lone Wanderer was a monster. Maybe he had good intentions and goals like Kellogg and by the time FO4 hits, he's just as corrupted and evil. Maybe he's not only alive, but one of the most ruthless raider bosses in the next game
I mean at the end of zeta, he DOES own a perfectly working alien spaceship. If i were him, i would be figuring out what it can do, as it is probably the best hope for fixing the planet.
Actually jokes aside that could be a good idea to for Bethesda to make canon. After TES 3 the Nerevarine leaves Tamriel stop an Akaviri invasion. It could make sense for the Lone Wanderer to use Mothership Zeta to stop an alien invasion by attack their home planets.
if fallout 3 dog and fallout 4 dog were the same breed i would be like "the lone wanderer left the dog at red rocket and sole survivor found him isnt that cute"
All 3 meeting up, along with every possible companion from 3, New Vegas, and 4. Its a new bad ass elite team. Only flaw is now all the doorways get blocked, all the time.
Clearly, the answer is that he's fighting the Zetans in space. After all, there was that spaceship crashing out by Oberland Farm for no apparent reason...
I like that theory. Not the entire Brotherhood force would be sent to the Commonwealth. The very old and very young would be left behind (7 year old and under). The Elder left behind would be changed with raising and training the children. They would have to be extremely trusted as well. (not just by Maxon, but the entire Brotherhood)
Yeah, since he was given the option to join Lyons Pride, which was the best squad there was during Elder Lyons time. It would also mean staying closer to "home" and keeping a eye on the people he cared for. (My Lone Wanderer was a saint)
+EmporerAaron Exactly, now we are starting to write the story. I could even envision Rivit city becoming a capital seat for an alliance of Capital Wasteland city states (not a full government yet, but the start of one) The Brotherhood Elder left at the Citidel would also need to be trusted by the people of the wasteland. ie, the Lone Wonderer.
by 2300 the lone wanderer has left the capital wasteland and that chick in megaton who runs the supply shop, and the wasteland survival guide, yes her, writes a book about him/her
What if the Lone Wonderer is observing the Sole Survivor and staying hidden. What if the Lone Wanderer is the new Mysterious Stranger helping you and disappearing. AKA random appearances helping you.
Deacon is already your watcher...unless Deacon is the Lone Wander! No but seriously, Deacon pops up several times in the game wearing a disguise and he also left little goodies to help you. He even watched you leave the vault. Not to sure about the Mysterious Stranger thing. He is a middle aged white man in FO4, but Bethesda has messed up a lot of lore in FO4 already
I think the lone wanderer is still alive and in New Vegas. If you go to the Vault 21 hotel and go into Sarah's room you can find a picture of Catherine and James.
Ultimately, Bethesda left the fate of the Lone Wanderer vague on purpose as a way for players to come up with their own ideas for their respective Lone Wanderers. My Lone Wanderer was a hero to the Capital Wasteland and helped everyone she came across to the best of her abilities. Her methods may have been questionable and heavy-handed at times, but ultimately proved beneficial to the people of the Capital Wasteland. After the loss of her father and her banishment from Vault 101, my Wanderer stuck with the Brotherhood after the Enclave's defeat, having no other home to return to. Sarah Lyons' rise to Elder after the death of her father was unpopular to many within the ranks, but my Wanderer supported her leadership despite raising the ire of her fellow soldiers. After Sarah's death, differences between my Wanderer and the elders that came after ultimately drove her to leave the Brotherhood. Eventually settling in Megaton, my Wanderer led a quiet life for many years, occasionally putting on her old Power Armor again to combat the threats the little town faced. Eventually she was approached by Arthur Maxson, now the High Elder of the Brotherhood, with an opportunity to travel to the Commonwealth. Ultimately, she refused, a decision Maxson respected due to his respect for her actions during her time with the BoS. While my Wanderer passed on the opportunity to travel to the Commonwealth to fight the Institute, the idea of a new adventure eventually drove her to leave the Capital Wasteland altogether. With the Super Mutant threat contained and the Enclave remnants rounded up, my Wanderer left her home in the care of her faithful butler Wadsworth, travelling across the ruins of post-war America, helping everyone she came across to the best of her abilities. But that's just my own post-game story. I personally think it would be disappointing to see a set-in-stone, canonical ending to a game that lets you choose who you want to be and how you want to live in the post-apocalypse. It's nice that Bethesda left references here and there to let us know that Fallout 3 mattered, but I'm okay with them just leaving it at that. There's many stories to tell in the Fallout Universe and the developers have given us the ability to tell them how we want to. Everyone has their own idea of who they are in the wasteland and trying to agree on a single set canon sort of defeats the purpose of the "Post-Nuclear Role Playing Game" in the end.
Late reply, but I get your point and agree with it somewhat, but a lot of Fallout 4 felt like retconing the Lone Wanderer out of existence. I mean there's no real proof or even throwaway dialogue that the Lone Wanderer was even real, nothing in the scribes terminal, nothing from Doctor Li about losing someone very close to her and not even Elder Maxon saying that he looked up to someone or that the Brotherhood owed their victory over the Enclave to somebody.
I like to think, that when we play fallout, we're treading on the little embers of truth, amidst a Wasteland legend. The Wanderer may or may not be real, I honestly say that no side quests were actually undertaken by the Wanderer, however they are attributed to them. Some say the Wanderer died at Project Purity that day, others say that a Super Mutant climbed into that purifier. Some say the water in D.C. is clean, others claim it poisoned. Some see a Saint, others a Monster.
Moira also states that she never had another assistant like the Lone Wanderer suggesting that she continued to make the wasteland survival guide after her business concluded with the Lone Wanderer. And if the survival guides are all made by Moira then the Lone Wanderer couldn't have been to Diamond City seeing as that was not part of the wasteland survival guide quest
I think that the Lone Wanderer may have left the BoS after they started adopting harsh ideals after Maxson became Elder and left the Capital Wasteland, maybe to establish his own settlement like the Vault Dweller from the first Fallout. As for the cut Vault 101 jumpsuits, I think they may have been part of a side quest or random encounter were the Soul Survivor meets some Vault Dwellers from Vault 101, maybe trying to establish trade routes for their vault or just following the Lone Wanderer's example by exploring the Wasteland. I do admit it would've been interesting to see the Lone Wanderer in Fallout 4, maybe in the same manner you see Hawke, the player character from Dragon Age 2, in Dragon Age Inquisition as an NPC and temporary companion.
Dragon age was all about a shared universe where decisions you made in past gamdetermines the world state in inquisition (very cool btw); so you saw your version of hawke in inquisition. Fallout has no such mechanic, at most all they would ever do is throw in a reference as a kinda easter egg. Directly showing the character would cause too many problems with both old fallout fans and newcomers.
+Guilherme Lopes but LW = Courier is bullshit. You wanna tell us, that for 4 years not only Wanderer had managed to get from East Coast to the West, but yet get to New Rino, Vault City, establish community in the Divide, get and deliver E-DE to the Divine and so on without any proper mean of transport?
I've always imagined the LW and Sarah becoming a couple so after Sarah Lyons dies if he isn't dead then I could imagine the LW and Fawkes settling down in Megaton or Tenpenny Tower and just living and drinking booze. Wherever his 'home' is. Maybe settle down with Moira, to fill the emotional void Sarah would leave him. And Moira would eventually kick him in the butt and give him 'new adventures' to go out and help research new things for the survival guide.
Kingman Highborn Yes, but my ideas are criticizing your ideas, and just because they're someone else's ideas doesn't protect those ideas from bring criticized and ridiculed. You made a bad joke, Johnny. Go home.
I don't think you understand. I didn't ask for criticism, and your ridicule is the bad joke. I shared my idea on what happened to the lone wanderer. Don't like it? Go post your own. What pisses me off is saying I upvoted my own comment which I did not do.
Let's keep in mind a few things here 1. After TLW activated Project Purity for good ol' dad, and he woke up in the Citadel 2 weeks later, Owyn gave him the rank of Knight in the BoS 2. After saving Megaton, he was given a house of his own there 3. He took out the almost everyone on Mothership Zeta, excluding the humans trapped there So he is either dead (likely died alongside Sara and the rest of Lyon's Pride), he is alive and is exploring the galaxy in the ship, he is alive and is part of the BoS (likely an un-named Paladin in 4), he is alive and with the Railroad (again, an un-named agent), he is still roaming the Capital Wasteland with Dogmeat, or he is sticking around Megaton to help out Moira more with her book.
fusiontoa18 There's a terminal somewhere on the Prydwen that mentions that Owyn died of old age and Sara died in a firefight. If only she had worn her helmet...
So, I have my own theory on the Lone Wanderer, and here it is: After the events of Broken Steel, the Lone Wandered stayed with the Brotherhood, and was about to head to the Commonwealth with them. However, after learning the Brotherhood's hostility to Synths, they left, as they are technically a member of the Railroad. Furthermore, I think that Elder Lyons' and Sarah Lyons' deaths made them uncomfortable with the Brotherhood, as they were pretty much the only ones that the Lone Wanderer really, truly knew. I think the Wanderer is still in the Capital Wasteland, sitting in the Megaton house with Wadsworth (who I call the Codsworth rip-off), listing to Galaxy News Radio, while polishing up his Power Armor, and waiting for the next adventure to come their way. It's a stupid theory, I know. But it's the best I got.
My lone wanderer will totally agree with this! That's a good theory too. Maybe if with the mothership zeta dlc installed he'd be repairing the mothership after all the damage from the wanderer's escape and space battle afterwards! Hell why not wake up some of the inhabitants of the cryo lab, to all we know they could be helpful in studying the zetan tech. I'd mean with pre war and post war knowledge it wouldn't be impossible to understand the zetan tech.
All my characters have hatred for synths. I killed that escaped synth and zimmer. I killed every town in fallout 3. I killed 3 dog. The capital is the lone wanders. And the brotherhood left because of his presence. That’s my characters lore. But now though 3 dog can still speak on new shit I do. Even though I killed him after our first meeting.
I feel as though Piper may have got to know the Lone Wanderer. She mentions the fact you came from a vault due to your "fish out of water" look so she's had experience with a vault dweller before. It can't be 81 because they're open to the Commonwealth and the other vaults are husks of what they once were. It would make sense if the Lone Wanderer came by and was amazed at how there is another Megaton like structure in the Wasteland.
Aye. Lone Wanderer isn't just a vault dweller anymore. He didn't just leave a vault and roam the wasteland - he practically *built* the Capital Wasteland as it is now. He's got more waster experience than some towns combined by the end of FO3. My guess, he's seen so much shit that he can't just stay still anymore. He'd have passed through before heading either to Canada or westwards. My guess, he'd likely be in either the Chicago area or Legion territory by the time of FO4.
+Azereiah yea I think that's what happens to every fallout main character after the main story (Except for the chosen one since he stayed with his village).
The Lone Wanderer was an exemplar of the DC BoS as it was in Fallout 3, whereas in F4 Maxon makes it clear that he was very critical of the path they were on and brought them back to their original goal. If I remember correctly he was quite brutal when it came to objections to his decision and comes across as openly fanatical, getting very angry when met with dissent or disagreement of any kind. It’s likely Maxon instigated a “do not talk of the Lone Wanderer” policy, with severe penalties for doing so, which would fit in with the general character traits of a dictatorial-figure. As a child, Maxon wrote about his “love” for Sarah Lyons and may have come to see the Lone Wanderer as a “rival” for her affections. Going by his demeanour and attitude in F4, I can’t help but wonder if he had a hand in her death through a combination of jealousy and also the fact she would be the biggest opponent to the DC chapter returning to their old ways. I imagine that, along with characters like Star Paladin Cross who supported Owen Lyons direction, the Lone Wanderer parted company with the DC chapter when Maxon rose to power. I also like to think that they may have come to blows with the Lone Wanderer winning the fight, leaving Maxon with his scar as a reminder. If there’s one thing that people like Maxon hate it’s being reminded of and / or other people knowing he got his ass kicked and this would be all the more reason he would ban all mention of the Lone Wanderer. In summary, we can’t be sure where the Lone Wanderer is but we can be sure that Maxon is a dick!
So he came up with the story that he got the scar from a deathclaw and killed it so the rest of the BOS didn't view him as the Elder that lost to a Vault Dweller.
+The Infamous Cloaker “Zokorar” Videos that things so much fun, or add a fat man receiver onto an assault rifle and then add the targeting computer 😍shits so OP oh and try out the explosive plasma thrower, it ends up just giving it like infinite range its sick
Well I assume by the same logic that the Brotherhood Won that the NCR won the battle of Hoover Dam being as they have better Karma then Caesars Legion. As far as the Courier... Idk probably dead being as he was living on narrowed time... although wouldn't it be cool to get all the main characters together from each Fallout that are still logically alive in one game as like a companion? Imagine that? They'd be these immortal killing machines being as just the one of them in their own game was able to turn the tides of huge battles and wars.
The Courier has proven himself as someone who just refuses to die. He walked the divide at least 3 times, survived two bullets to the head, among other feats
Courier sides with House and after driving out Ncr and Legion from Vegas, He goes to goodsprings and starts to live there and he takes place of Easy pete after Easy pete's death.
I feel like the Lone Wanderer could be taking care of MacCready's son Duncan in Megaton while he's away finding the cure for his disease. I like that idea, anyway. I like to believe that LW is still alive and safe, preferably in Megaton because it's near the vault and they like to make sure everything is okay around there. I feel like LW would keep an eye on the place from the outside, despite being banished and whatnot, because it was where they grew up.
I don't think he's alive, I mean he got in his vault when the war started. And fallout 4 takes place 200 years after, so he can't live that long, unless he's now a ghoul
his jump suit is in fallout 3 at paradise falls along with a holotape on him if you missed it some people miss it how ever it does not make a statement if hes dead or not
My theory: There was an internal succession struggle within the brotherhood following the death of Elder Lyons, leading to Maxson (directly or indirectly) killing Sarah Lyons to seize power. Once he was ordained Elder, he purged elements still loyal to Lyons, executing or exiling many prominent soldiers in the process. This would also help reunite the brotherhood with the outcasts and consolidate his power, which was stated to have occurred. This would also explain the massive shift in mentality within the brotherhood. The Lone Wanderer; primarily loyal to Lyons mission of helping the people of the wastes, fled the Capital Wasteland, passing through Commonwealth at some point before Fo4. Possibly with help from the Railroad, as they have the infrastructure to smuggle people between the two locations undetected. From the Institute and the Brotherhood. Given the brotherhoods proud history, its surprising a soldier like Sarah only received a footnote in the terminals and there was no mention of the Lone Wanderer. Other members of Lyons Pride also never received any sort of mention whatsoever. Im pretty sure this is intentional as the Brotherhood would want to purge as many remnants of Lyons reign as possible. Its unlikely someone like the Lone Wanderer would succumb to the wastes, and he is likely still alive. Wandering, ready to help the people of the wasteland... or a lonely survivor of a vault, desperately looking for his son.
The Overseer for Vault 76 actually found out about the experiments and was almost changed to instead be the Overseer for Vault 101. Just follow the Overseers Personal Quest by finding her holotape in the Vault Tec Agricultural Centre in Flatwoods. It’s the fifth Holotape
I feel like every main installment of fallout (fallout 5) will have continued references to the lone wanderer having had been there. I would also doubt his death though, cause he canonically wouldn’t be the easiest guy to kill, him going from no violence in his life to destroying the enclave and slaying any manor of man and beast (including the talon company) that refused to let him save the wastelands. That is also ignoring how he’s fought through a slaver arena, and (like the other protagonists) has done the impossible time and again canonically. I mean, he’s been to space and has a spaceship, so really is there anywhere he cannot go?
My idea is that after exploring most of the East coast finishing off most of the Enclave and doing everything he wanted he heard news about the tales of stuff like ,The N.C.R, The Courier, Legion, New Vegas, and the first appearances of the enclave. He then heads west in between the events of New Vegas (2281) and 4 (2285) because of the sudden appearance of old Enclave remnants at the battle of Hoover Dam. His idea, Wipe out the Enclave once and for all.
That's not a bad theory. Makes full sense since it was the enclave who actually provoked James to kill him self so, the Lone Wanderer has every right hunt down everything related to the enclave even if it requires him to travel west.
I think Wanderer heard stories of a badass mailman living out in the Mojave and decided to take a long trip from all the way from DC, to New Vegas, to meet such person. And then, to kick together some asses.
Well, the last F3 DLC ends with the Lone Wanderer in control of an alien mothership. I choose to believe he's either fucked off into space or is exploring the world outside of America. Doubt we'll see him again anytime soon. Be cool to find his mothership again in a future game though.
Yeah like a DLC to mexico or something, and you see a huge ship in a mountain side and you explore and you find a skeleton with the Vault 101 suit. Omfg. I would fangasm if that happened lol.
I like this idea, but also see no point in meeting up with previous player characters. That's not really the way Fallout rolls, and it could really break the illusion for a lot of people to meet "their" character, but totally different from how they crafted said character. I mean, we only ever get references to the Vault Dweller and the Chosen One past Fallout 2, and mostly just in NV (because, you know, it'd be a little difficult for that info to travel to the west coast).
If cannon is the most positive karma ending the vault 101 suits would be available in the wasteland. You know that whole side quest where you go back to 101 put amata in charge and the vault opens up for trade.
I think he continued doing deeds across the wastes and stayed with the brotherhood and since he was declared a knight maybe he is one of the brotherhood knights in fallout 4
There's a flaw in your logic there, the only people to ever leave Vault 101 were James and the Lone Wanderer, all the rest were either killed by radroaches or executed by the security, if they didn't die that way then they probably became ghouls.
+Banana Pie That's not accurate either. if you do the later quest "Trouble on the Home front" you revisit Vault 101 and retake it from the overseer. all the vault dwellers stay behind to rebuild but eventually they all leave the vault. So they would be perfectly able to make their way to the Commonwealth.
I think the LW simply left the BoS when Maxson became the Elder. In Fallout 3, the BoS were the good guys helping everyone around the Capital Wasteland. But with Maxson as their leader, they became more like the Western BoS again: Not really evil, but quite a bunch of assholes. I doubt the Lone Wanderer would stick with their crazy dedication to exterminating all synths and ghouls ( Feral or not ). So they just left.
I think the Lone Wanderer is still alive during the events of Fallout 4 also with dogmeat and possibly with Fawkes by his side. The Courier is a completely story. Soon on my crap channel I will have m;y theories of what happened to the characters like the Courier, Lone Wanderer, Chosen One and Vault Dweller.
I mean in fallout 2 you can remind Dogmeat of his past owner, then in fallout three you can mention how he lost his owner... now fallout 4's Dogmeat may be different but who knows
just make your own head canon on what the lone wanderer does, my lone wanderer(brotherhood man) traveled to the commonwealth after learning of the local brotherhood being wiped out and hearing strange rumors of a demon who could appear anywhere in a flash of blue light with an army of metal men. upon reaching the institute ruled commonwealth of my fallout 4 character, he found the remains of the brotherhood, and swore to make it back to dc, to warn the brotherhood of the threat. right as he stood to leave the wreked remains of the prydwen, he heard a bang from behind him and saw a flash of blue, upon turning around he meets my fallout 4 char along with x6 and 2 syths, guns drawn. a fight ensues, and i cant pick a winner until i know if the institute still exists in the next game or not.
Probably not, because.. well... they're fucked up xd they have literally everyone as enemies same as the bos. The institute dies anyway, and the minutemen ending would be the canonical one, but either destroying the BOS, or being that danse was cast out, he left the BOS, and the minutemen killed the Institute and everyone lived happy and peaceful
i think the lone wanderer is visting everywhere in america or even the entire world most likely on the ship from mothership zeta (i havent playing MZ yet so i dont know if he/she is allowed to leave it in space while he/she roams then goes back up to the ship to continue) the lone wanderer most likely left less than 9 years ago from where you start because 10 years between F3 and F4 that leaves time that he/she visted other places to create more survival guides like he/she did for the common wealth and the captial wasteland but thats what i think
Mikey O Riordan in MZ, sorta like The Pitt, once you start the main quest of the dlc, you're locked in that area til the questline is done..after that, you're free to come and go as you please. the ship in MZ sorta becomes like another player house with npcs living there...some even give you items every 24 hours or so.
I think that lone wanderer died at the red rocket where you find dogmeat and maybe dogmeat likes you because you resemble the lone wanderer from fallout 3
*SPOILER ALERT FOR NEW VEGAS* There is an option in Lonesome Road from New Vegas to nuke California though, so I don't think the LW would stay there very long.
Yea I thought the same thing, like I was thinking maybe he has left to go over the west wastelands or somethingIt would seem like something he would do.Decide to travel to the other side of the nations, maybe to help the brotherhood of steel there or I don't know....
The Lone Wanderer is Deacon. There is simply no other way to explain Deacon. There's no way to explain how he knows so much about the Capital Wastes. He likes Grognak the Barbarian, as does the Lone Wanderer. The age even matches up. Deacon also approves of the former Brotherhood, meaning he approved of Elder Lyons, as the Lone Wanderer did. The Lone Wanderer even had access to facial reconstruction, and made contacts with the Railroad. It even explains Deacon's lying - the first Railroad contact the Lone Wanderer meets SPECIFICALLY TELLS HIM TO LIE!!!!!! It just makes sense.
F3's Brotherhood was a lot different than F4's. In F4 we saw a Brotherhood return to more of a strict humans-only philosophy compared to the more open philosophy of the group in F3. The LW could have had a falling out with them. But its been a while since I've played F3.
I like to think that Macready tracked down the LW and asked him to look after his son because word got around about all the good things the LW and what he did for little lamplight
The LW could've been on the run from the Brotherhood. They could've visited Diamond City because of the plastic surgeon there. Yes, I know that Maxson idolized the LW but judging by his actions towards Danse when they find out he's a synth it's safe to assume that it doesn't matter. Who knows, the LW could be Deacon?
Shit dude, that is a fantastic head canon. Deacon's last story about the UPclaws could be partially true, where instead of a gang it was the BoS after Maxson took control.
The lone wanderer could've had a problem with the way the brothrhood was headed under Maxon, it would explain why he rarely talks about his idol. His idol fundamentally disagreed with masons policies and goals and left the entire organization in protest which Maxon probably didn't take well because he's a hard ass.
if you look in the terminals inside the quarters of the pridwin you find out that the pridwin's reactor was taken off of an aircraft carrier in DC. Rivet city is an aircraft carrier. LW wouln't stand by and let the BOS take their power supply.
INFAMOUS7UP *Skyrim Sheogorath Theory* However you are right Deacon is not the LW only because if you look at the railroad history terminal the first time the name Deacon shows up is in 2273, 5 years before Fallout 3 and if John D is Deacon as the terminal imply that means he has been with the railroad for over 21 years as of Fallout 4 My guess is that as of Fallout 4 Deacon is around 39 but he could be as old as 50
For all we know the Lone Wanderer is one of the random BOS soldiers on the Prydwyn. They do mention that Maxon is the youngest to ever become an Elder, right? And the Wanderer is only in his 30's at this point? So presumably the Wanderer is just another person in the ranks of the Brotherhood. Also, great vid btw.
Lone Wanderer was made a member of Lyon's Pride and became and honourary knight (or Paladin, can't remember which). This would suggest the LW was higher rank than an average BOS soldier/knight, therefore imo LW isn't just a random BOS knight on the Prydwin
He was made a knight, which isn't really anything more or less than any others. Now I'm not saying he's not special, he/she was the main character. That being said, it isn't that unreasonable to assume he's not that high ranking imo.
I'm not disagreeing with you, just my opinion. Isn'y Lyons Pride just an elite unit though? Ranks are generally universal. A Sergeant is a sergeant in any army, right? Idk, either way there's no way to know what happened to the LW.
If you count DLC the last one released for Fallout 3 was Mothership Zeta. If you think about it the Lone Wanderer could have taken over the space ship to travel around the planet/space. Seeing that he is a wanderer. This could also explain why an alien ship is crashing into the commonwealth, the Lone Wanderer shot it down trying to defend the earth, or something similar. This could help explain why the ship crashed and also what happened to the L.W.
Maybe the line wanderer decided to be the captain on the mothership in the zeta DLC either he's on different planets traveling or exploring the rest of the world like maybe the rest of the United States or China or anchorage to see where the simulation took place. I dont know. Just spitballing
+BRITISH SWAGG i was pretty sure but couldnt remember, and even if bethesda recognizes it as canon the general consensus from the community is that it is non-canon. This is mainly dou to the fact that the dlc suggests that aliens caused the great war in one of the holotapes
Here's my theory: everyone stayed in their areas. As in the lone wanderer is still in the capital wasteland doing his own thing ( when I beat fallout 3 I died at the end but I've heard that with a DLC you have the ability to survive ) and that the courier is still in new Vegas doing his own thing now that he has decided which faction would rule new Vegas
Doge the indestructible same the mysterious strangers face changes in every game that would be cool wait in far harbor nick knows that Asian guy also nick is obsessed with the mysterious stranger and in new Vegas the mysterious stranger is Asian
+King L actually, it wouldn't be bad, if LW is Strong. I mean that supermutants don't have any signs of gender, look and sound alike and change their personality, when mutating.
As for the 101 outfit, remember that Moira had a 101 suit in her cabin that she armored for a girl who never lived to pick it up, so the Lone Wanderer and his father James were NOT the only people to leave 101.
the courier already has a LONG past, it wouldn't make sense for him to be the lone wanderer, plus the courier is blonde, the lone wanderer has black hair
You can pretend if you want, as long as you tell me how the lone wanderer, after being bored of the Capital Wasteland managed to travel 2,400 miles to Las Vegas, visit Montana, change his face, became a courier for the Mojave Express, establish a settlement in Hopeville, then cause the creation of the Divide and get shot in the head all in four years (more like three if you add up the time it must have taken to go through all 5 DLC's) :(
actually it could work. A vertibird captured and flown by bos scribes, could of flown LW to the west. I might be wrong by i think its mention that bos east is in contact with bos west again. That might be how.
One thing I'm really curious about... In Fallout 3 you get an armored 101 vault suit from Moira if you ask her about the vault suit in the back... Who the hell was this woman she says came through about 12 years ago before your character leaves the vault, Moira believes she might be dead but... What actually happened? I thought no one left but your father, so, who else left?
Daniel Salinas See, I thought of that, but she died at birth 19 years ago, when your character was being birthed. So, you can rule her out... But, maybe they left when they let James into the vault? It's a conspiracy inside a conspiracy... Interesting 🤔
Not necessarily, remember Benny shot the Curior in the head and left them for dead, so one of the Khans with him could have stolen the Pipboy, or even Benny himself could have taken it. As for the Armored Vault Suit, it is possible you could explain away the armored vault suit as lost from wear and tear, or shot up, or even stolen while the Curior was left for dead as well. But still, I was under the impression that the Lone Wanderer died when he activated the purifier like when his dad did the first time, your even shown to fall over after you start it. Well, unless you get the mod that lets you keep playing, and you don't have that sequence take place, but that's a mod, not cannon...
ulysses is actually the wonderer. he watched the events of the divide as it was exploading and when he went to see if there was anyone he could help he could only even find one man laying, dieing on the ground. so he patches him up as best he can, but he knows hell soon be dead no matter what so he has him tell his story to pass the time. then at the end when the old ulysses dies the wonderer is so enraged that he takes up his identity and decides there will be justice for this crime
***** Good point, I never played the DLC, I shall have to fix that. But looking it over, I guess it changes the end where the Lone Wanderer survives at the "End" of the game? If not, then they should be dead, as the Radiation from the purifier starting up killed James, so to should it have killed the LW. If so then, I guess he could have stayed with the BOS, maybe as one of the random Soldiers you see in FO4? Or as a Paladin and didn't come to the Commonwealth? But then again, maybe he/she chose not to? It is possible that after the events of FO3 he/she chose to move on, and as he/she made their way to New Vegas. Their power armor failed and left it behind? (Or they did still have it, just forgot about it due to a gunshot to the head.) Then took a job as a Curior. Being who they are would explain how they were so good at what they did. Then when they got shot they lost all they knew and had to start over. It is interesting to ponder over, all the possibilities. Still it's up to Bethesda.
Could the lone wanderer be the courier? Because New Vegas takes place after fallout 3 and you don't know much of the courier from before, and you can find wasteland survival guides in the Mojave wasteland
It would've been cool if, only one time in the entire game, you can randomly meet a vault dweller with a Vault 101 suit equipped and a dog behind him. You can ask him what he's doing and he says he just wandering alone. Then you never see him again.
Tristan Pearson that would be kind of a let down as the character wouldn't have any extra dialogue but yeah sounds like a funny reference
Tristan Pearson then wanderer just starts playing
Tristan Pearson that would make my entire life...
Dude if he HAS a dog Behind him it Would be Dogmeat DUH but when The Sole Survivor [aka Nate or Nora] goes to the Red Rocket Station, He Meets Dogmeat, The First Companion you Could 'Meat' while the second one being Preston, if this was a Random Encounter, i would probably say You will Randomly encounter a Vault Dweller with a Vault 101 Jumpsuit WITH his Hunting Rifle and/or Butch in his Side, but This will Also Break the Deacon Theory [and i mean is Deacon the Lone Wanderer] And if he WAS ALive then Elder Maxson would already Assign YOU to Recruit The Lone Wanderer aka By Finding him [this happens if you joined the BOS] not only that The Railroad would Already Mention him Wandering around the Commonwealth and Possibly Give you a Quest to Find The Lone Wanderer... (this is the 4th time i edited this theory dafuq...)
Maxson wouldn't want Lone Wanderer killed. I believe he actually looks up to him/her.
He and The Courier are sipping on Nuka-Cola somewhere in the Wastelands sharing stories while Rex and Dogmeat play in a field. Veronica and Paladin Cross compare Brotherhood chapters. Boone and Charon staring blankly at each other in silence. Lily chatting with with Fawkes. ED-E and Seargant RL-3 shooting mole rats. Arcade and Cass awkwardly talking to Jericho and Clover. Butch offering Raul a haircut.
That would be legendary hahaha.
Im gonna barber the hell out of that hair
One happy family
And then the sole Survivour appears with MacCready and lone wanderer tells him a yo mamma joke
The courier? You mean the ups guy?
The lone wanderer was in control of a freaking alien mothership, i dont think he would stay around

Agreed prov trying to figure out how to get everyone out of cryo stasis
@CVNT Then get TSC/Mothership Zeta Crew quest mod. Makes the whole thing worthwhile.
He's in the middle of the fucking andromeda galaxy making peace agreements with monstrous bird people
I think the Lone Wanderer is the type of guy who will never settle down.
He probably has Flo on his left and Mary on his right, and Rosie on his chest, _as we speak_ in Fallout 4.
Gref Steel does he roam around,round round round round?
Yeah, he's the type of guy who never settles down, he's never in one place
He moves from town to town.
He doesn't want to set the world on fire, he just wants to start a flame in your heart.

Same
I think the lone wanderer is on the mothership zeta, protecting the earth from other alien ships.
I really like this idea of him being the captain of an alien ship with Sally, Elliot and Toshiro as his crew. That would also explain the alien craft who crash in F4.
Maybe the LW is the one who shot down the alien in FO4, only for the SS to get the alien pistol
My thoughts exactly, if the LW decided too stay on the mothership it could explain how Sarah Lyons managed to die and how the aliens was were shot down in Fallout 4 & NV
Yeah. other alien crafts had crash in previous fallout games, but in the case of Fallout 4, we see the crash and there is smoke. He could had a motor problem, but i like more the theory of him being shot by the LW xD
I actually liked Elliot. Him and the sole survivor are my favorite since they woke up in a whole new world that is nothing that they could imagine.
That is an interesting theory, however I refuse to believe that mothership Zeta was canon.
Bethesda is gonna pull a gta 5 and fallout 5 is gonna let you play as the lone wanderer, courier, and sole survivor
That would rock... although if you need to make all 3 the 1st 5 hours of play would be in front of a mirror lol =P
I would be completely fine with that. And they would all be... In the mid fucking west. I know that what is already there isn't 100% canon. but it could be fiddled with or even made to be canon. Plus it's a good middle zone.
Lol
AW HELL YEA!!
I was thinking the exact same thing!! I thought I'd be to cliché tho considering it's been done in one of the most popular games of the world.
It's amazing how even MacCready never mentions The Lone Wanderer.
Eggmana Banana right???
both him and Arthur
Well for Macready the LW wasnt that big of an influence. Arthur Maxson, that's a different story. He probably split from the brotherhood when Maxson took over, disagreeing with him on returning to the west coast brotherhood ideals about locals and technology.
Peter Lane you would think he would talk about this guy that he met that walked into vault 87 and never came out if you think about you get kidnapped he never sees you leave
Yeah, MacCready couldve said something like "Hey, I remember meeting someone that came through Little Lamplight that was also wearing a Pip-Boy, I dont really remember much about them other than them entering the mutant-infested vault next to us and then they turned out to be a pretty big deal."
Because no matter what karma path you chose in fallout 3, the lone wanderer was a big deal no matter what. Aand you have to go through little lamplight to enter vault 87 no matter what too, so it wouldve been realllly cool if bethesda did include a reference to the lone wanderer :/ sorry for my rant lol

My Lone Wanderer became The Courier in A Tale of Two Wastelands. He currently lives in Novac in a bungalow with Willow.
@@nemerly_00 same
I have a theory of my own with evidence. I think Deacon actually IS the Lone Wanderer. Here are all my points of reason.
1: Deacon makes a joke about President Eden (whom almost NOBODY in the Commonwealth had ever heard of, outside the Brotherhood)
2: At one point in asking his thoughts, Deacon says "maybe we should come up with a team name. Code Violet? Death bunnies?" While playing the Replicated Man quest, Harkness' recall code is A3-21 Recall Code VIOLET. As you know, synth recall codes are EXTREMELY secret pieces of information, generally known only to members of the Institute. The fact that Deacon knows Harkness' recall code would be impossible if he had not physically met Dr. Zimmer in Rivet City at that time.
3: Deacon's humanity and honesty are always contested. The game is incredibly intent on making you wonder if his back story about his supposed synth wife was true and the Sole Survivor can choose to believe that he is lying. If you do, he will say "well, either way, thanks for putting up with me all this time". He talks about guilt surrounding unspecified bad decisions he made (evil Karmic decisions as the Wanderer?) and how he murdered the University Point Deathclaws after killing his wife. (There is no mention of any of that happening in any of the terminals at University Point, and the entire town was killed off by the Institute) This could actually be a heavily embellished version of another story, like how the Brotherhood murdered Sarah Lyons for whatever reason (implied though not proven). Or how the Enclave murdered James. After beating Broken Steel, Sarah Lyons may tell the Wanderer "If things weren't so crazy now, maybe we could be...friends.." hinting at a possible romantic future between the two which would never come to pass upon her death.
4: Deacon says "The Brotherhood. In the Capital Wasteland, they really weren't bad, but now..." This proves that Deacon had met with the Brotherhood in the Capital Wasteland. The Brotherhood would have treated him as hostile for being a Railroad agent, so there is very little reason that Deacon would openly deal with them unless he wasn't a Railroad agent at the time.
5: He keeps saying "Did I ever tell you about my time in the Capital Wasteland? Now there's a tale" Yet we never ONCE actually hear about it, though it would make an effective reference
6: Deacon says he hasn't partnered up "for a long time". 10 years is a long time. Also, he prefers being alone. LONE. LONE WANDERER.
7: He mentions Victoria Watts during one of his approval talks. She is an original member of the Railroad that the Lone Wanderer actually meets during the Replicated Man quest. She will tell the Wanderer that if they LIE to Zimmer (Deacon's specialty!), they will join the Railroad as a member in good standing. This would not only be Deacon's start in the Railroad, but a focal point of his inclination towards lying.
8: Deacon had multiple facial reconstruction surgeries. The Lone Wanderer had access to the same service during THE REPLICATED MAN quest after meeting Dr Horace Pinkerton. There are rumors that Deacon was a girl once, making both DEACON's AND THE WANDERER'S genders historically ambiguous.
9: Deacon, despite his surgeries, has the appearance and demeanor of someone in their late 20s-early 30s. The Lone Wanderer would be 29, which Deacon could pass for. Also, his knowledge of Shakespeare and Proust is the kind of education people usually get in Vaults. Deacon seems to be knowledgeable about anything the Lone Wanderer would know or have experienced.
Honestly, I'm surprised nobody else has figured that out yet.
this is some legit fucking shit, I need te relisten all teh conversations with Deacon now
This actually makes ALOT of sense. It could be that after Sarah Lyons died/assassinated, the LW became disenfranchised with the BoS and left. Not sure if we will ever know what happened to him, but it is a good theory.
Too bad Deacon is too easy to kill
BoS ftw
I like the theory. Might be my new headcanon lol
Also adds a pretty deep layer since my SS killed Deacon :0
Personally, I believe the Lone Wanderer, after all he's been through, would have likely settled down maybe, and stayed behind in the Capital Wasteland and aided Vault 101 in their recovery and survival in the wasteland, not to mention there are still people there he cares very much about, including Amata. Despite her saying that he can no longer come to the Vault, she did say maybe in time when things calm down and get settled, he may be able to return. So, perhaps after the events of Broken Steel and perhaps some years after, he decides to retire or just take a break from the Brotherhood and stuff to take care of what remains of his family and home.
Also in regards to the Wasteland Survival Guide entries in the Commonwealth, I honestly don't think those are actually supposed to be the legit copies of the Capital Wasteland variants. For one, the original was all one book, all survival tips merely separated by chapters in the book. Whereas in the Commonwealth, I think some kid or teenager had the opportunity to read the book, and was influenced by it that he made his own spin-off of it, suited for the Commonwealth rather than the Capital wasteland, hence things like farming, hunting, and looking for Diamond City are things that wouldn't be suited for the urban environments of D.C. And there are very sparse populations in D.C. that actually utilize hunting/farming. Most people use the caravans and cities for their basic needs. (Albeit in the background, those cities and caravans are supplied by invisible farmers and hunters, blah blah) So yeah. I don't really understand where people come from when they see the Commonwealth version and think "Oh, it has the same title, must be the same book entirely!" That's just so obviously not the case.
intresting theory. It makes sense
Good theory, and all things considered the name is just an allusion to FO3; very much how FO:NV also had a survival guide.
That is my thinking as well since it makes the most sense to me at least
Um hate to burst your bubble but you get a quest when you exit the vault in FO3 and you either release nuclear fumes into the vault or you kill the overseer and everyone leaves
+JSthekidRS Snowdon if you killed the first overseer during Escape! Otherwise you can peacefully stop the uprising there and Amata becomes Overseer.
hes chillin on the mothership wandering the cosmos.
Honestly what I always assumed.
Grey Lyons yep
35?! Piper at least looks in her mid to early 20's
Yeah, plus she has a 10 yr old sister.
"no older than" it was to prove a point
I'd place her 24-27
hell no! 30+ at least!
Piper is 32 at least when i first met her and her sister i tough shes her mom.
The Lone Wanderer got involved in a scheme to smuggle Irish immigrants into the American Wasteland from across the Atlantic in order to ensure that there was enough stereotypical Drunken Irishmen with bad Lucky Charms accents to populate the next 10 Fallout games.

(Added cuz why tf not)
Dialogue:
"Got nothing for you. If I did, it'd have come."
"I'm not lost. I'm exploring."
If with Dogmeat:
"Cool dog. Must be a very good boy."
"What's his name? Wait, don't tell me... Dogger."
If with Paladin Danse:
"Mojave doesn't have much in the line of the Brotherhood. But I did know someone in it."
If with Codsworth or Curie (Ms Nanny):
"Robot butler, huh? I had an eyebot."
"General Atomics does make some good robots."
If with Curie (Synth) or X6-88:
"Synth. I can tell a difference between real and fake."
If with X6-88:
"Your friend scares me... creepy."
If with MacCready:
"I know a sniper guy. NCR. He's a real good shot. Shame about his wife."
If with Minutemen at ending:
"Well, something run by good people does better than something run by cruel people."
After Ending:
"I shaped the future of the Mojave. And I did it my way."
They’d probably have some dialogue with Doctor Li and Elder Maxson too. I’d be great if when they left the Prydwen they just went “See you later alligator.” To Maxson.
That would be cool if the game could allow it. Remember they're not the "let's reveal the protagonist's identity" type
I kinda want to learn mod making just to make this a reality
it would be cool to see courier in ranger armor because one of devs conformed that ncr ending was cannon
Danse would recognize the wanderer if not from his former memories.
In my playthrough the lone wanderer stumbled cross a train to the Mojave and became known as "the courier"
Tales of two wastelands. Love that mod
A working train that took you about half way across the Wasteland? Got a luck of 10 I see.
well it wasn't a train it was a rail cart and also it wasn't to the Mohave it was to the pitt
Also you spelled "Mojave" wrong.
Pitt was right though, that's 1/2 D+.
WAIT, you forgot one thing, Butch. If we're going by the highest karma ending to FO3, then the only resident of 101 that never goes back (besides you) is Butch. HE could've gone to the Commonwealth. HE could've left that 101 jumpsuit. It IS in his inventory.
Jacob Wells Agata leaves the vault too.
Jacob Wells what if that was him in the atom cats
+Yamete Kudasai!!!
Butch is the only one that never goes back, and it's Amata, not Agata
that's actually a very solid point. He could have started atom cats too because of the vibe you get from that group. Also, it would very well explain why the tunnel snake hair do is a hair option in fallout 4 (im wrong some one correct me. but i do think that hair style is in fallout 4)
It's a similar hair style but not quite the same but it would make sense if he did start that group because who else would have the knowledge to except for a vault dweller
I would think he died fighting with Lyon's Pride. It would be a tidy explanation of why he isn't involved with Maxson in the events of Fallout 4 and a convenient way for Bethesda to avoid making official canon decisions on what your character from their last game looked like.
Or even better. He or she could be the Mysterious Stranger. Plus remember the character could use fake outfits like Deacon. Just put on a mustache and fake contacts. You can fool people like that since the eyes will mix with imagination
They could've undergone plastic surgery ... Changed their name... The tough thing for Bethesda is the fact that depending on the player, the lone wanderer could've been male or female and people would probably be upset if they chose a specific gender to represent the lone wanderer. :) Maybe they've placed a vault 101 jumpsuit somewhere on the bottom of the ocean in Fo4 - who knows xD
Or because BoS changed, like Li he evaded the new BoS cultures.
There is actually a Vault 101 Jumpsuit item in the game,it's just not in the game's world.You can get it in one of those weird developer secret areas.
+Commander Jason however it was also in NV
Maybe he traveled out West, Kellogg made it from the NCR to the Commonwealth after all.
Rad Tornadoes
Maybe he is the courier
canonically Butch is also alive as somehow Macready met him otherwise how could he know the phrase tunnel snakes rule so that means that the lone wanderer most likely haf neutral karma
That, or Butch managed to make his own Gang in the Waste. Also Remember! After "Trouble in homefront" Butch leaves Vault101 and heads over to Rivet city (Strange how that guy managed to make it there without a single scratch or damage to his mentality).
+They Told Me I Could Become Anything, So I became an Eggplant Butch rocks, man, that's how. He just rules that hard.
Macready is from that kids place, little light or whatever
Eddy Right, but that doesn't really justify how he heard the phrase "Tunnel-Snakes Rule". I mean, it's possible Butch passed by there, or spray painted it on a wall, but it still leaves it open ended.
also the possibility butch went to big town to recruit his gang and that macready was there bc he was kicked out of little lamp light bc he got to old or macready went to rivit city at some point
"If the Lone Wanderer was I the commonwealth, we'd see some obvious signs." yeah like trails of corpses from one end to the other
Behemots, Super Mutants, Raiders, Coursers, Etc:🤡
@@lolololbanana1829 bro he killed aliens and all of those things when he (or she in my case) was just 19 and without the military training the Operation anchorage simulation gave him , now imagine him being 29 years old,with military training ,power armor and a freaking alien arsenal
@@Darh1407 oh hell nah
The vault 101 jumpsuit could also belong to Butch
Alejandro Alfaro could also belong to amata she left vault 101 and can be found and saved from enclave soldiers
Sean Everts where
Killerbeast its random I think
Maximus This could be true when you do the side quest where you return to Vault 101 for a while if you talk to butch he will say the he will leave the vault make A gang.
Wally Mack, perhaps, since he's in the creation club.
Watching you running around just killing everything and not looting kinda bugs me.
Muffin Cannibal always bugs me too
Muffin Cannibal I think he already had a lot of very good stuff
Muffin Cannibal - He's leaping around like a hyper-death-imp-on-crack in powered armour smokin an' smearin things allmost exclusively with mini nukes!.. F'Chrysake what the hell could these street dregs possibly have that someone throwing nukes around like they were horse-shoes need enough to poke through the irradiated remains to loot?.. The H.D.I.O.C. is clearly a top of the food chain apex predator, slumming it in style.... you don't loot from these saps.. you just collect souvenirs.
Ew
ew indeed.
About the 101 jumpsuit, in the good karma ending with the second vault sidequest, you tell the Overseer that he need to open the vault to trade and open it to new genetics or the vault will die out. Maybe someone left from the Vault and came to the Commonwealth.
+BlackPizzaMan You're stupid
There's also an armored up vault 101 vault suit Moira gives you, meaning someone else left the vault before you did. Evidence enough that if one person left before The Lone Wanderer, many more could have
Also, Susie Mack leaves the vault from time to time after you help them, she could've left that jumpsuit.
Most likely the father, or perhaps the scouting teams which I do believe were mentioned.
I was planning to comment this lmfao
PLOT TWIST
Deacon is the Lone Wanderer
OMG PLEASE RESEARCH THIS POSSIBILITY THO
***** I was more or less kidding, but I mean
No one knows who Deacon really is
He showed up one day, and has had his appearance changed many many times
He looks to be about 30 which sets his age roughly the same as the Lone Wanderers
He's been to the Capital Wasteland and all over
Hard to say
He's also been to the Mojave, and New Vegas so who knows
+Tyler Jaynes he's a synth
problem, Deacon looks young and well fit, not the lone wanderer met MacCready when he is just a young kid, so either the lone wanderer is a fit senior citizen or dead
"lone wanderer is a fit senior citizen"
They'd be 29/30
I think the Brotherhood Outcasts actually took control of the BoS, and that Elder Maxon and the Lone Wanderer would no longer have good relations. There is quite a bit of evidence within the FO4 world pointing to the Outcasts having gained control of the Brotherhood.
Which evidence? I must have passed over it.
It's all circumstantial, but I look to the red emblems on a dark background that now mark BoS power armor as opposed to the silver and blue of previous Fallout games, and of course the red and black markings were the hallmark of the Outcasts. Also if you look at the apparent turn towrds the dark side of the Brotherhood in general it would appear that the Outcast's ideology has won out. I think that the Outcasts must have been able to take over the Brotherhood after Lyons' death and when Elder Maxon eventually took over he had either been turned to side with the Outcasts or has had to govern with the Outcast's interests at the front or risk the BoS falling back into a civil war.
I never thought of it that way.. But it does make sense.. And "The return to ideals" would make a nice plot point
They didn't gain control but one of Maxson's feats that made people think he was good enough for elder was uniting the outcasts and everyone else.
the lone wanderer wouldnt have good relations with the brother hood more likely because of the neutral companions. he makes friends with both a super mutant and finds a city full of peaceful ghouls wile the fo4 brotherhood wants to eliminate basically anything not human or at least treat them as subclass. they bully and take what they need and thats not something a paragon would follow. i think he even says somewhere that after lyons died he made contact with the west coast and they reverted back their previous tactics, which was what the outcasts wanted in fo3. its not that the outcasts gained control so much as maxon returned it to the original ideals. it is fair to say though that maxon would have idolized the wonderer growing up and to some extent that would be why he returned the brotherhood to its old ways. that was after all the fear of him going back into vault 101, that other people would idolize him and go out into the waste like he did. and lets be honest even if he is a saint of the waste he more than likely left a pretty long trail of raider/super mutant/ ghoul bodies even if it was the "right way".
strong is the lone wanderer 100% true
Tmbrwolf675 could be... maybe he got turned lol
Tmbrwolf675 it's possible
Tmbrwolf675 He got turned when he turn the water purifier on
if you got max karma the lone wanderer will return fully ok somehow so no
....That actually makes a lot of since. The Lone Wanderer's mother died when he was an infant and so he never got breast fed. THAT'S WHY STRONG IS ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR THE MILK OF HUMAN KINDNESS O_O
Pfft, no way the LW is dead. Too much of a badass.
ikr
we never thought you would make it
WELL GUESS WHAT I DID
oh god a nuke! look out!
pfff no problem (BOOM)
yawn im still here
hey you die
nope
YES
no *blows up megaton*
hey we lived there
i dont care now cya im just gonna go save my dad
Yeah, my guess is he and Dogmeat went to the midwest after going to the Commonwealth. Dogmeat definitely went with him because there's another pooch there for the Sole Survivor
I honestly think the line wanderer commuted suicide after Sarah lions died...think about it, LW wouldn't really have any friends besides lions and they're both dead, the things he worked for are In Turmoil...it's a definite possibility
+Caleb Hutchinson dog meat would be long gone, the original dog meat would be about 12-14 years old at the time of f4, there is no way dog meat would be that spry at that age, and even if he was alive he would die very soon
There are still the vault dwellers from 101.
And he could have returned, because Amata actually said that he maybe one day can return to his vault.
Being that the level cap in FO3 was a mere 30, I think the safest bet is that the Line Wanderer is most likely dead.
keep in mind that by the end of the game you could possible have 10 in all your stats (back when that meant something)
***** In the base game the level cap is 20 with broken steel the level cap is 30
even with a low level cap you can still be overpowered. My lone wanderer was.
Maybe a level cap would have prevented 4 from being ridiculously easy, even on original survival mode BTW fucking hate that they got rid of original survival mode for the patched survival mode as it forces me to turn down the difficulty even more. Plus the patched survival mode it's so far from NV's survival mode and not really what most people wanted: NV's survival mode added a extra mechanic and didn't become the central part of the game like in 4..... So yeah, there's that......
They could also pull a U turn on it and say sure, project purity was a success - but The Lone Wanderer was a monster. Maybe he had good intentions and goals like Kellogg and by the time FO4 hits, he's just as corrupted and evil. Maybe he's not only alive, but one of the most ruthless raider bosses in the next game
the lone wander is clearly in space
oh clearly. also, is that sanji?
yes the lone wanderer went to new vegas and flew away with a bunch of ghouls in rockets
+kylekelly1919 AYY LMAO
I mean at the end of zeta, he DOES own a perfectly working alien spaceship. If i were him, i would be figuring out what it can do, as it is probably the best hope for fixing the planet.
Actually jokes aside that could be a good idea to for Bethesda to make canon.
After TES 3 the Nerevarine leaves Tamriel stop an Akaviri invasion.
It could make sense for the Lone Wanderer to use Mothership Zeta to stop an alien invasion by attack their home planets.
if fallout 3 dog and fallout 4 dog were the same breed i would be like
"the lone wanderer left the dog at red rocket and sole survivor found him
isnt that cute"
YEEAAHH their totally different breeds though
in the first line i have said " IF " they are the same breed
goodguy chris nearly anything is possible in the fallout universe
YEEAAHH I think dog meat is the lw dog puppy
Or the lone wanderer left him there to go take a shit or something and then the sole survivor stole him
Plot twist, Dogmeat is the LW..
Dog meat ate the lone wanderer
not possible, my lone wander got too hungry and ate his dog meat
Wait, what if Dogmeat was the same dog from Fallout 3 and the Lone Wonderer left him in the commonwealth?!
+Soufiane Kamal Prob, If the Lone Wonderer had the Puppies! Perk with him/her during that time.
*drop the bomb*
I'd love to see the courier, the sole survivor, and the lone wanderer meet, most badass gang in video game history
what if all 3 met up,.... omfg they would be a unstoppable force!!!!
All 3 meeting up, along with every possible companion from 3, New Vegas, and 4. Its a new bad ass elite team. Only flaw is now all the doorways get blocked, all the time.
let's throw in the chosen one and all his companions as well
+Nigel the Nigel lets not forget abt the vault dweller and ghe sacred number 13
but there'd be 1 dude talking.
They would kill each other
We want a Lone Wanderer DLC!
Not the Memes! Production me to😔😔
+Not the Memes! Production What would it be about? Sole Survivor meeting the old Lone Wanderer in some shack in the middle of nowhere?
Should be a boss for the dlc
You have the perk
Or a fallout 3 one.
Butch wood have a 101 jumpsuit
Would not wood
But he would also have his tunnelsnake jacket
+Epsilon No he gives it to the lone wander if they and good and save his mom
no, he gave the tunnel snake jacket to the lone wander in fallout 3 if you saved his mom
And he had to save his mom if he had good karma choices.
Clearly, the answer is that he's fighting the Zetans in space. After all, there was that spaceship crashing out by Oberland Farm for no apparent reason...
The sole survivors planting crops While up in space there is a massive laser war
PERFECT, JUST WHAT WE NEEDED, A TRIGGER HAPPY LUNATIC SUPPLYING ANOTHER TRIGGER HAPPY LUNATIC WITH ALIEN WEAPONRY. That's the last thing we need.
Nah I Think it's the Enclave, they've always wanted to go to space :P
or that group of ghouls from new vegas that the courier has to get the toy rockets for so they can go to the promised land.
what if maxon left the wanderer in the citadel to act as the elder while maxon left to conquer the Commonwealth ?
I like that theory.
Not the entire Brotherhood force would be sent to the Commonwealth. The very old and very young would be left behind (7 year old and under). The Elder left behind would be changed with raising and training the children. They would have to be extremely trusted as well. (not just by Maxon, but the entire Brotherhood)
Yeah, since he was given the option to join Lyons Pride, which was the best squad there was during Elder Lyons time. It would also mean staying closer to "home" and keeping a eye on the people he cared for. (My Lone Wanderer was a saint)
+EmporerAaron Exactly, now we are starting to write the story.
I could even envision Rivit city becoming a capital seat for an alliance of Capital Wasteland city states (not a full government yet, but the start of one)
The Brotherhood Elder left at the Citidel would also need to be trusted by the people of the wasteland. ie, the Lone Wonderer.
+Gilhelmi or he's just a wander and he wanders around and has moved to a different state
by 2300 the lone wanderer has left the capital wasteland and that chick in megaton who runs the supply shop, and the wasteland survival guide, yes her, writes a book about him/her
The Lone Wanderer and the Courier met each other and then they both got jobs at Bethesda
Bethesda is actually run from Big MT?
😂
Nah, that isn’t possible for my lone wanderer and Courier. I always gave them high science.
Well technically the Sole Survivor can be the Lone Wanderer with the perk.
lol
Hahaha lol
theres a perk?
we don't actually know if the SS is a white or black male or female
What if the Lone Wonderer is observing the Sole Survivor and staying hidden. What if the Lone Wanderer is the new Mysterious Stranger helping you and disappearing. AKA random appearances helping you.
oooo I like this theory
I forgot to add that the human eye can be easily tricked
+Preston Garvey But doesn't a new settlement need my help?
I got something a bit different for you
Deacon is already your watcher...unless Deacon is the Lone Wander! No but seriously, Deacon pops up several times in the game wearing a disguise and he also left little goodies to help you. He even watched you leave the vault.
Not to sure about the Mysterious Stranger thing. He is a middle aged white man in FO4, but Bethesda has messed up a lot of lore in FO4 already
Never mind the theory, WHAT A SHOT THAT WAS WITH THE FATMAN!! WOOOOOOOW 1 MILLION TROOOOOPS!!
Birlzey he has amazing accuracy
The Lone Wander was basically the Legend27
Then we get the Soul Survivor, seems legit.
im Sorry its Sole Survivor
Dogmeat no I like soul
Dogmeat who's a good doggo? Who's. good doggo?
me?
Me vs legend 27
5:09 Can we all just admire how good of a fuckin shot this was lmao
Or is he using a heat seeking device on his fatman?
Blitz Kreig heat seeker
i was searching for this comment
I think the lone wanderer is still alive and in New Vegas. If you go to the Vault 21 hotel and go into Sarah's room you can find a picture of Catherine and James.
Woah holy shit are you for real?
Then it's possible that James and Catherine stayed at the hotel because the lone wanderer never knew what Catherine look like
@@diannemichellecabrera2123 the game did state his father showed him pictures of his mother, so he should know what she looks like
The Wanderer is in he's twenties in New Vegas I did research
Maybe Sarah Lyons and she is the same person as Sarah the receptionist.
Ultimately, Bethesda left the fate of the Lone Wanderer vague on purpose as a way for players to come up with their own ideas for their respective Lone Wanderers.
My Lone Wanderer was a hero to the Capital Wasteland and helped everyone she came across to the best of her abilities. Her methods may have been questionable and heavy-handed at times, but ultimately proved beneficial to the people of the Capital Wasteland. After the loss of her father and her banishment from Vault 101, my Wanderer stuck with the Brotherhood after the Enclave's defeat, having no other home to return to.
Sarah Lyons' rise to Elder after the death of her father was unpopular to many within the ranks, but my Wanderer supported her leadership despite raising the ire of her fellow soldiers. After Sarah's death, differences between my Wanderer and the elders that came after ultimately drove her to leave the Brotherhood.
Eventually settling in Megaton, my Wanderer led a quiet life for many years, occasionally putting on her old Power Armor again to combat the threats the little town faced. Eventually she was approached by Arthur Maxson, now the High Elder of the Brotherhood, with an opportunity to travel to the Commonwealth. Ultimately, she refused, a decision Maxson respected due to his respect for her actions during her time with the BoS.
While my Wanderer passed on the opportunity to travel to the Commonwealth to fight the Institute, the idea of a new adventure eventually drove her to leave the Capital Wasteland altogether. With the Super Mutant threat contained and the Enclave remnants rounded up, my Wanderer left her home in the care of her faithful butler Wadsworth, travelling across the ruins of post-war America, helping everyone she came across to the best of her abilities.
But that's just my own post-game story. I personally think it would be disappointing to see a set-in-stone, canonical ending to a game that lets you choose who you want to be and how you want to live in the post-apocalypse. It's nice that Bethesda left references here and there to let us know that Fallout 3 mattered, but I'm okay with them just leaving it at that. There's many stories to tell in the Fallout Universe and the developers have given us the ability to tell them how we want to. Everyone has their own idea of who they are in the wasteland and trying to agree on a single set canon sort of defeats the purpose of the "Post-Nuclear Role Playing Game" in the end.
Doctor Evilface I like that.
Late reply, but I get your point and agree with it somewhat, but a lot of Fallout 4 felt like retconing the Lone Wanderer out of existence. I mean there's no real proof or even throwaway dialogue that the Lone Wanderer was even real, nothing in the scribes terminal, nothing from Doctor Li about losing someone very close to her and not even Elder Maxon saying that he looked up to someone or that the Brotherhood owed their victory over the Enclave to somebody.
I like to think, that when we play fallout, we're treading on the little embers of truth, amidst a Wasteland legend. The Wanderer may or may not be real, I honestly say that no side quests were actually undertaken by the Wanderer, however they are attributed to them. Some say the Wanderer died at Project Purity that day, others say that a Super Mutant climbed into that purifier. Some say the water in D.C. is clean, others claim it poisoned. Some see a Saint, others a Monster.
Moira also states that she never had another assistant like the Lone Wanderer suggesting that she continued to make the wasteland survival guide after her business concluded with the Lone Wanderer. And if the survival guides are all made by Moira then the Lone Wanderer couldn't have been to Diamond City seeing as that was not part of the wasteland survival guide quest
I think that the Lone Wanderer may have left the BoS after they started adopting harsh ideals after Maxson became Elder and left the Capital Wasteland, maybe to establish his own settlement like the Vault Dweller from the first Fallout. As for the cut Vault 101 jumpsuits, I think they may have been part of a side quest or random encounter were the Soul Survivor meets some Vault Dwellers from Vault 101, maybe trying to establish trade routes for their vault or just following the Lone Wanderer's example by exploring the Wasteland. I do admit it would've been interesting to see the Lone Wanderer in Fallout 4, maybe in the same manner you see Hawke, the player character from Dragon Age 2, in Dragon Age Inquisition as an NPC and temporary companion.
I would love that, but that also would break my LW is the Courier Character for NV.
+Guilherme Lopes LW?
Mbargas101 That's short for Lone Wanderer
Dragon age was all about a shared universe where decisions you made in past gamdetermines the world state in inquisition (very cool btw); so you saw your version of hawke in inquisition. Fallout has no such mechanic, at most all they would ever do is throw in a reference as a kinda easter egg. Directly showing the character would cause too many problems with both old fallout fans and newcomers.
+Guilherme Lopes but LW = Courier is bullshit. You wanna tell us, that for 4 years not only Wanderer had managed to get from East Coast to the West, but yet get to New Rino, Vault City, establish community in the Divide, get and deliver E-DE to the Divine and so on without any proper mean of transport?
I've always imagined the LW and Sarah becoming a couple so after Sarah Lyons dies if he isn't dead then I could imagine the LW and Fawkes settling down in Megaton or Tenpenny Tower and just living and drinking booze. Wherever his 'home' is. Maybe settle down with Moira, to fill the emotional void Sarah would leave him. And Moira would eventually kick him in the butt and give him 'new adventures' to go out and help research new things for the survival guide.
What you described was terrible fanfiction, and you upvoted your own comment.
I didn't up vote anything, just put forth what I'd imagine happening. You are free to have your own ideas, but don't say I did something I didn't.
Kingman Highborn
Yes, but my ideas are criticizing your ideas, and just because they're someone else's ideas doesn't protect those ideas from bring criticized and ridiculed.
You made a bad joke, Johnny. Go home.
I don't think you understand. I didn't ask for criticism, and your ridicule is the bad joke. I shared my idea on what happened to the lone wanderer. Don't like it? Go post your own. What pisses me off is saying I upvoted my own comment which I did not do.
Thats exactly what I was thinking
Let's keep in mind a few things here
1. After TLW activated Project Purity for good ol' dad, and he woke up in the Citadel 2 weeks later, Owyn gave him the rank of Knight in the BoS
2. After saving Megaton, he was given a house of his own there
3. He took out the almost everyone on Mothership Zeta, excluding the humans trapped there
So he is either dead (likely died alongside Sara and the rest of Lyon's Pride), he is alive and is exploring the galaxy in the ship, he is alive and is part of the BoS (likely an un-named Paladin in 4), he is alive and with the Railroad (again, an un-named agent), he is still roaming the Capital Wasteland with Dogmeat, or he is sticking around Megaton to help out Moira more with her book.
what did you mean by likely died alongside Sara and the rest of Lyon's Pride ?
+fusiontoa18 In between Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, Sara Lyons of the BoS as well as her whole squad (The Lyons Pride all die in a battle
+fusiontoa18 In between Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, Sara Lyons of the BoS as well as her whole squad (The Lyons Pride all die in a battle
TheStormybob - Potato Army! wow howd that happen ?
fusiontoa18 There's a terminal somewhere on the Prydwen that mentions that Owyn died of old age and Sara died in a firefight. If only she had worn her helmet...
So, I have my own theory on the Lone Wanderer, and here it is:
After the events of Broken Steel, the Lone Wandered stayed with the Brotherhood, and was about to head to the Commonwealth with them. However, after learning the Brotherhood's hostility to Synths, they left, as they are technically a member of the Railroad. Furthermore, I think that Elder Lyons' and Sarah Lyons' deaths made them uncomfortable with the Brotherhood, as they were pretty much the only ones that the Lone Wanderer really, truly knew.
I think the Wanderer is still in the Capital Wasteland, sitting in the Megaton house with Wadsworth (who I call the Codsworth rip-off), listing to Galaxy News Radio, while polishing up his Power Armor, and waiting for the next adventure to come their way.
It's a stupid theory, I know. But it's the best I got.
That sounds like something my lone wanderer would do.
It's not stupid it's a good theory
My lone wanderer will totally agree with this! That's a good theory too. Maybe if with the mothership zeta dlc installed he'd be repairing the mothership after all the damage from the wanderer's escape and space battle afterwards! Hell why not wake up some of the inhabitants of the cryo lab, to all we know they could be helpful in studying the zetan tech. I'd mean with pre war and post war knowledge it wouldn't be impossible to understand the zetan tech.
All my characters have hatred for synths. I killed that escaped synth and zimmer. I killed every town in fallout 3. I killed 3 dog. The capital is the lone wanders. And the brotherhood left because of his presence. That’s my characters lore. But now though 3 dog can still speak on new shit I do. Even though I killed him after our first meeting.
While i'm not exactly a fan of Maxxon's changes i think he still learned something from lyons...
I feel as though Piper may have got to know the Lone Wanderer. She mentions the fact you came from a vault due to your "fish out of water" look so she's had experience with a vault dweller before. It can't be 81 because they're open to the Commonwealth and the other vaults are husks of what they once were. It would make sense if the Lone Wanderer came by and was amazed at how there is another Megaton like structure in the Wasteland.
Yea but the lone wanderer wouldn't have had a fish out of water look, by then he would've been experienced and battle-hardened
Aye. Lone Wanderer isn't just a vault dweller anymore. He didn't just leave a vault and roam the wasteland - he practically *built* the Capital Wasteland as it is now. He's got more waster experience than some towns combined by the end of FO3.
My guess, he's seen so much shit that he can't just stay still anymore. He'd have passed through before heading either to Canada or westwards. My guess, he'd likely be in either the Chicago area or Legion territory by the time of FO4.
+Azereiah yea I think that's what happens to every fallout main character after the main story (Except for the chosen one since he stayed with his village).
Skugg but where's the bomb (creepy music)
There are a few vault dwellers roaming around though so Pipers probably met them as well
The Lone Wanderer was an exemplar of the DC BoS as it was in Fallout 3, whereas in F4 Maxon makes it clear that he was very critical of the path they were on and brought them back to their original goal. If I remember correctly he was quite brutal when it came to objections to his decision and comes across as openly fanatical, getting very angry when met with dissent or disagreement of any kind. It’s likely Maxon instigated a “do not talk of the Lone Wanderer” policy, with severe penalties for doing so, which would fit in with the general character traits of a dictatorial-figure.
As a child, Maxon wrote about his “love” for Sarah Lyons and may have come to see the Lone Wanderer as a “rival” for her affections. Going by his demeanour and attitude in F4, I can’t help but wonder if he had a hand in her death through a combination of jealousy and also the fact she would be the biggest opponent to the DC chapter returning to their old ways.
I imagine that, along with characters like Star Paladin Cross who supported Owen Lyons direction, the Lone Wanderer parted company with the DC chapter when Maxon rose to power. I also like to think that they may have come to blows with the Lone Wanderer winning the fight, leaving Maxon with his scar as a reminder. If there’s one thing that people like Maxon hate it’s being reminded of and / or other people knowing he got his ass kicked and this would be all the more reason he would ban all mention of the Lone Wanderer.
In summary, we can’t be sure where the Lone Wanderer is but we can be sure that Maxon is a dick!
So he came up with the story that he got the scar from a deathclaw and killed it so the rest of the BOS didn't view him as the Elder that lost to a Vault Dweller.

Well I assume by the same logic that the Brotherhood Won that the NCR won the battle of Hoover Dam being as they have better Karma then Caesars Legion. As far as the Courier... Idk probably dead being as he was living on narrowed time... although wouldn't it be cool to get all the main characters together from each Fallout that are still logically alive in one game as like a companion? Imagine that? They'd be these immortal killing machines being as just the one of them in their own game was able to turn the tides of huge battles and wars.
The Courier has proven himself as someone who just refuses to die. He walked the divide at least 3 times, survived two bullets to the head, among other feats
lostbladder courier resides in blue mt
Courier sides with House and after driving out Ncr and Legion from Vegas, He goes to goodsprings and starts to live there and he takes place of Easy pete after Easy pete's death.
I feel like the Lone Wanderer could be taking care of MacCready's son Duncan in Megaton while he's away finding the cure for his disease. I like that idea, anyway. I like to believe that LW is still alive and safe, preferably in Megaton because it's near the vault and they like to make sure everything is okay around there. I feel like LW would keep an eye on the place from the outside, despite being banished and whatnot, because it was where they grew up.
Can do a video about if "The Puppet Man" lives and where is he in Fallout 4. (The man from Vault 77)
1. there's not enough info.
2. of course he's alive. he's a god killing lunatic. NOTHING can stop him!
+Lamron Jr I know he is alive from the comic.
I don't think he's alive, I mean he got in his vault when the war started. And fallout 4 takes place 200 years after, so he can't live that long, unless he's now a ghoul
+Luchabro that why I said if he is dead or a Ghoul.
his jump suit is in fallout 3 at paradise falls along with a holotape on him if you missed it some people miss it how ever it does not make a statement if hes dead or not
vault 101 opened before and that's why James got into vault 101
My theory:
There was an internal succession struggle within the brotherhood following the death of Elder Lyons, leading to Maxson (directly or indirectly) killing Sarah Lyons to seize power. Once he was ordained Elder, he purged elements still loyal to Lyons, executing or exiling many prominent soldiers in the process. This would also help reunite the brotherhood with the outcasts and consolidate his power, which was stated to have occurred. This would also explain the massive shift in mentality within the brotherhood.
The Lone Wanderer; primarily loyal to Lyons mission of helping the people of the wastes, fled the Capital Wasteland, passing through Commonwealth at some point before Fo4. Possibly with help from the Railroad, as they have the infrastructure to smuggle people between the two locations undetected. From the Institute and the Brotherhood.
Given the brotherhoods proud history, its surprising a soldier like Sarah only received a footnote in the terminals and there was no mention of the Lone Wanderer. Other members of Lyons Pride also never received any sort of mention whatsoever. Im pretty sure this is intentional as the Brotherhood would want to purge as many remnants of Lyons reign as possible.
Its unlikely someone like the Lone Wanderer would succumb to the wastes, and he is likely still alive. Wandering, ready to help the people of the wasteland... or a lonely survivor of a vault, desperately looking for his son.
The Overseer for Vault 76 actually found out about the experiments and was almost changed to instead be the Overseer for Vault 101. Just follow the Overseers Personal Quest by finding her holotape in the Vault Tec Agricultural Centre in Flatwoods. It’s the fifth Holotape
I feel like every main installment of fallout (fallout 5) will have continued references to the lone wanderer having had been there. I would also doubt his death though, cause he canonically wouldn’t be the easiest guy to kill, him going from no violence in his life to destroying the enclave and slaying any manor of man and beast (including the talon company) that refused to let him save the wastelands. That is also ignoring how he’s fought through a slaver arena, and (like the other protagonists) has done the impossible time and again canonically. I mean, he’s been to space and has a spaceship, so really is there anywhere he cannot go?
My idea is that after exploring most of the East coast finishing off most of the Enclave and doing everything he wanted he heard news about the tales of stuff like ,The N.C.R, The Courier, Legion, New Vegas, and the first appearances of the enclave. He then heads west in between the events of New Vegas (2281) and 4 (2285) because of the sudden appearance of old Enclave remnants at the battle of Hoover Dam. His idea, Wipe out the Enclave once and for all.
Fallout 4 takes place in 2287, ten years after Fallout 3.
ayee lmao
They put the wrong year for Fallout 4. I was correcting them. Not really sure how you missed that.
That's not a bad theory. Makes full sense since it was the enclave who actually provoked James to kill him self so, the Lone Wanderer has every right hunt down everything related to the enclave even if it requires him to travel west.
Enclave weren't at the first battle of hoover dam, nor were they bad in fallout nv, and they were hidden until the courier helps them.
+UC3DaddyDirection Oh crap your right sorry it was a mistake. Thanks for correcting me.
I think Wanderer heard stories of a badass mailman living out in the Mojave and decided to take a long trip from all the way from DC, to New Vegas, to meet such person. And then, to kick together some asses.
Then everyone says "Oh him, yeah he used this teleport gun thing to teleport himself to Big Mountain"
Well, the last F3 DLC ends with the Lone Wanderer in control of an alien mothership. I choose to believe he's either fucked off into space or is exploring the world outside of America. Doubt we'll see him again anytime soon. Be cool to find his mothership again in a future game though.
Yeah like a DLC to mexico or something, and you see a huge ship in a mountain side and you explore and you find a skeleton with the Vault 101 suit. Omfg. I would fangasm if that happened lol.
+Logan Powell I'd cry
+Jaden & Beans me to
Zeta does seem like a good exit DLC. The LW leaves earth behind to explore the stars.
I like this idea, but also see no point in meeting up with previous player characters. That's not really the way Fallout rolls, and it could really break the illusion for a lot of people to meet "their" character, but totally different from how they crafted said character.
I mean, we only ever get references to the Vault Dweller and the Chosen One past Fallout 2, and mostly just in NV (because, you know, it'd be a little difficult for that info to travel to the west coast).
If cannon is the most positive karma ending the vault 101 suits would be available in the wasteland. You know that whole side quest where you go back to 101 put amata in charge and the vault opens up for trade.
I think he continued doing deeds across the wastes and stayed with the brotherhood and since he was declared a knight maybe he is one of the brotherhood knights in fallout 4
people were so fuckin greedy with this game that they had to cut so much content... its a shame
Josh Campbell The vault 101 suit was cut for almost no apparent reason it's noticed as a vault suit by NPC's so I don't see anything wrong with it.
Josh Campbell dude are you related to alexander campbell
content gets cut so it doesn't take a decade to make.
Josh Campbell agreed! cut too much and the story makes no sense!
7:50 It could belong to anyone from vault 101.
Trouble on the homefront lol
There's a flaw in your logic there, the only people to ever leave Vault 101 were James and the Lone Wanderer, all the rest were either killed by radroaches or executed by the security, if they didn't die that way then they probably became ghouls.
Besides Butch, and I don't think he'd have a Vault 101 jumpsuit with him by the time he left the Vault. Stupid Butch and your stupid Tunnel Snakes.
+Banana Pie Unless you complete Trouble On The Homefront and the doors are left open by Amata.
+Banana Pie That's not accurate either. if you do the later quest "Trouble on the Home front" you revisit Vault 101 and retake it from the overseer. all the vault dwellers stay behind to rebuild but eventually they all leave the vault. So they would be perfectly able to make their way to the Commonwealth.
I think the LW simply left the BoS when Maxson became the Elder. In Fallout 3, the BoS were the good guys helping everyone around the Capital Wasteland. But with Maxson as their leader, they became more like the Western BoS again: Not really evil, but quite a bunch of assholes. I doubt the Lone Wanderer would stick with their crazy dedication to exterminating all synths and ghouls ( Feral or not ). So they just left.
I think the Lone Wanderer is still alive during the events of Fallout 4 also with dogmeat and possibly with Fawkes by his side. The Courier is a completely story. Soon on my crap channel I will have m;y theories of what happened to the characters like the Courier, Lone Wanderer, Chosen One and Vault Dweller.
Rivercash Gaming Dogmeat the 3rd would've died of old age. Oh by the 3rd I meant fallout 3s dogmeat
dogmeat may be a ghoul dog since he is in fallout 1 and 2 as well
Copperhead mike nope totally different breeds
I mean in fallout 2 you can remind Dogmeat of his past owner, then in fallout three you can mention how he lost his owner... now fallout 4's Dogmeat may be different but who knows
But Dogmeat the 3rd can have babies so he might have a new dog but yes the original dog in fallout 3 is dead I will agree
just make your own head canon on what the lone wanderer does, my lone wanderer(brotherhood man) traveled to the commonwealth after learning of the local brotherhood being wiped out and hearing strange rumors of a demon who could appear anywhere in a flash of blue light with an army of metal men. upon reaching the institute ruled commonwealth of my fallout 4 character, he found the remains of the brotherhood, and swore to make it back to dc, to warn the brotherhood of the threat. right as he stood to leave the wreked remains of the prydwen, he heard a bang from behind him and saw a flash of blue, upon turning around he meets my fallout 4 char along with x6 and 2 syths, guns drawn. a fight ensues, and i cant pick a winner until i know if the institute still exists in the next game or not.
Probably not, because.. well... they're fucked up xd they have literally everyone as enemies same as the bos.
The institute dies anyway, and the minutemen ending would be the canonical one, but either destroying the BOS, or being that danse was cast out, he left the BOS, and the minutemen killed the Institute and everyone lived happy and peaceful
i think the lone wanderer is visting everywhere in america or even the entire world most likely on the ship from mothership zeta (i havent playing MZ yet so i dont know if he/she is allowed to leave it in space while he/she roams then goes back up to the ship to continue) the lone wanderer most likely left less than 9 years ago from where you start because 10 years between F3 and F4 that leaves time that he/she visted other places to create more survival guides like he/she did for the common wealth and the captial wasteland but thats what i think
Mikey O Riordan in MZ, sorta like The Pitt, once you start the main quest of the dlc, you're locked in that area til the questline is done..after that, you're free to come and go as you please. the ship in MZ sorta becomes like another player house with npcs living there...some even give you items every 24 hours or so.
Plot twist, Arturo is the lone wanderer
I think that lone wanderer died at the red rocket where you find dogmeat and maybe dogmeat likes you because you resemble the lone wanderer from fallout 3
HAHA
my personal theory is the LW is heading west, probably to California ultimately.
*SPOILER ALERT FOR NEW VEGAS*
There is an option in Lonesome Road from New Vegas to nuke California though, so I don't think the LW would stay there very long.
pisant69 nah convincing Ulysses and unarming the miss would be the most Canon ending.
Yea I thought the same thing, like I was thinking maybe he has left to go over the west wastelands or somethingIt would seem like something he would do.Decide to travel to the other side of the nations, maybe to help the brotherhood of steel there or I don't know....
Fallout 5: Revisit California through the eyes of the LW's son! Get on it bethesda!
The Lone Wanderer is Deacon.
There is simply no other way to explain Deacon. There's no way to explain how he knows so much about the Capital Wastes. He likes Grognak the Barbarian, as does the Lone Wanderer. The age even matches up.
Deacon also approves of the former Brotherhood, meaning he approved of Elder Lyons, as the Lone Wanderer did. The Lone Wanderer even had access to facial reconstruction, and made contacts with the Railroad. It even explains Deacon's lying - the first Railroad contact the Lone Wanderer meets SPECIFICALLY TELLS HIM TO LIE!!!!!!
It just makes sense.
Big brain
Deacon does not look like a 29 year old

Somebody in vault 111 said quote " my mother and father are down in dc "
F3's Brotherhood was a lot different than F4's. In F4 we saw a Brotherhood return to more of a strict humans-only philosophy compared to the more open philosophy of the group in F3. The LW could have had a falling out with them. But its been a while since I've played F3.
I like to think that Macready tracked down the LW and asked him to look after his son because word got around about all the good things the LW and what he did for little lamplight
I always thought he was in space having been abducted by Aliens
Ashlei Paginton you obviously haven't finished the mothership zeta dlc
I finished it
But I am gonna say he got...
*ahem*
Probed
The LW could've been on the run from the Brotherhood. They could've visited Diamond City because of the plastic surgeon there. Yes, I know that Maxson idolized the LW but judging by his actions towards Danse when they find out he's a synth it's safe to assume that it doesn't matter. Who knows, the LW could be Deacon?
Shit dude, that is a fantastic head canon. Deacon's last story about the UPclaws could be partially true, where instead of a gang it was the BoS after Maxson took control.
The lone wanderer could've had a problem with the way the brothrhood was headed under Maxon, it would explain why he rarely talks about his idol. His idol fundamentally disagreed with masons policies and goals and left the entire organization in protest which Maxon probably didn't take well because he's a hard ass.
if you look in the terminals inside the quarters of the pridwin you find out that the pridwin's reactor was taken off of an aircraft carrier in DC. Rivet city is an aircraft carrier. LW wouln't stand by and let the BOS take their power supply.
Deacon is not the LW its a cool thought but bethesda would never show a protagonist from previous games like that
INFAMOUS7UP *Skyrim Sheogorath Theory*
However you are right Deacon is not the LW only because if you look at the railroad history terminal the first time the name Deacon shows up is in 2273, 5 years before Fallout 3
and if John D is Deacon as the terminal imply that means he has been with the railroad for over 21 years as of Fallout 4
My guess is that as of Fallout 4 Deacon is around 39 but he could be as old as 50
For all we know the Lone Wanderer is one of the random BOS soldiers on the Prydwyn. They do mention that Maxon is the youngest to ever become an Elder, right? And the Wanderer is only in his 30's at this point? So presumably the Wanderer is just another person in the ranks of the Brotherhood. Also, great vid btw.
Lone Wanderer was made a member of Lyon's Pride and became and honourary knight (or Paladin, can't remember which). This would suggest the LW was higher rank than an average BOS soldier/knight, therefore imo LW isn't just a random BOS knight on the Prydwin
He was made a knight, which isn't really anything more or less than any others. Now I'm not saying he's not special, he/she was the main character. That being said, it isn't that unreasonable to assume he's not that high ranking imo.
Cianan Mortem
He was still initiated into Lyon's Pride which would give him some higher ranking compared to the average BOS knight
I'm not disagreeing with you, just my opinion. Isn'y Lyons Pride just an elite unit though? Ranks are generally universal. A Sergeant is a sergeant in any army, right? Idk, either way there's no way to know what happened to the LW.
Maybe Danse is the lone wanderer. Which of course means that the LW is dead and his replacement is a synth paladin....or not
If you count DLC the last one released for Fallout 3 was Mothership Zeta. If you think about it the Lone Wanderer could have taken over the space ship to travel around the planet/space. Seeing that he is a wanderer. This could also explain why an alien ship is crashing into the commonwealth, the Lone Wanderer shot it down trying to defend the earth, or something similar. This could help explain why the ship crashed and also what happened to the L.W.
Maybe the line wanderer decided to be the captain on the mothership in the zeta DLC either he's on different planets traveling or exploring the rest of the world like maybe the rest of the United States or China or anchorage to see where the simulation took place. I dont know. Just spitballing
your picture tho
+Ben Dover im actually not sure if mithership zeta cannon to the lore
+avery andronyk ya. It's cannon
+BRITISH SWAGG no like real shit its not canon
+BRITISH SWAGG i was pretty sure but couldnt remember, and even if bethesda recognizes it as canon the general consensus from the community is that it is non-canon. This is mainly dou to the fact that the dlc suggests that aliens caused the great war in one of the holotapes
Man so many missed opportunities with continuation between fallout 3 & 4.
He is in space you'll know if you played mothership Zeta.
Here's my theory: everyone stayed in their areas. As in the lone wanderer is still in the capital wasteland doing his own thing ( when I beat fallout 3 I died at the end but I've heard that with a DLC you have the ability to survive ) and that the courier is still in new Vegas doing his own thing now that he has decided which faction would rule new Vegas
Why do I feel like the lone wander is the mysterious stranger? 🐻🐻
Doge the indestructible same the mysterious strangers face changes in every game that would be cool wait in far harbor nick knows that Asian guy also nick is obsessed with the mysterious stranger and in new Vegas the mysterious stranger is Asian
Hello
Nope. MS is obviously a breed of Zetan that shape shifts.
Dog in new Vegas you meet mysterious strangers son plus the mysterious stranger was in the first fallout
True me too
preston is lone wanderer
I think dog meat or codsworth or strong
Harambe is the Lone Wanderer
Omg u might actually be right
+King L actually, it wouldn't be bad, if LW is Strong. I mean that supermutants don't have any signs of gender, look and sound alike and change their personality, when mutating.
Maybe, but he says he joined the Minutemen at seventeen and the lone wanderer would probably have no reason to lie about who he is.
I feel like the Lone Wanderer would end up being like the Ebony Warrior from Skyrim.
As for the 101 outfit, remember that Moira had a 101 suit in her cabin that she armored for a girl who never lived to pick it up, so the Lone Wanderer and his father James were NOT the only people to leave 101.
like for a video on Courier
Lives at Big Mountain now, continuing scientific progress

@@aughhhhhg who TF needs a "perk". Lol
What if the lone wanderer is the guy that was a paladin for the brotherhood of steel but his team died and was hiding in that little place
Jakub Blazyzxzcczysowski Paladin Brandis? That's impossible since TLW is 29 and paladin Brandis looks like he's 50-60.
Did anybody see that amazing mini nuke on the church roof? Gheeze good aiming
i personally like to think that the lone wanderer and the courier are the same person
the courier already has a LONG past, it wouldn't make sense for him to be the lone wanderer, plus the courier is blonde, the lone wanderer has black hair
+The Courier fallout new Vegas is all about role playing also I didn't know there was a cannon appearance
You can pretend if you want, as long as you tell me how the lone wanderer, after being bored of the Capital Wasteland managed to travel 2,400 miles to Las Vegas, visit Montana, change his face, became a courier for the Mojave Express, establish a settlement in Hopeville, then cause the creation of the Divide and get shot in the head all in four years (more like three if you add up the time it must have taken to go through all 5 DLC's)
:(
+Kohei Watabe shit, good point, but I'm still gonna role play my character after all that's one of the series's biggest strong points
actually it could work. A vertibird captured and flown by bos scribes, could of flown LW to the west. I might be wrong by i think its mention that bos east is in contact with bos west again. That might be how.
One thing I'm really curious about... In Fallout 3 you get an armored 101 vault suit from Moira if you ask her about the vault suit in the back... Who the hell was this woman she says came through about 12 years ago before your character leaves the vault, Moira believes she might be dead but... What actually happened? I thought no one left but your father, so, who else left?
Maybe james had a jumpsuit and he left it with her and left
Daniel Salinas See, I thought of that, but she died at birth 19 years ago, when your character was being birthed. So, you can rule her out... But, maybe they left when they let James into the vault? It's a conspiracy inside a conspiracy... Interesting 🤔
What if ther curior is the lone wanderer?
True
Not necessarily, remember Benny shot the Curior in the head and left them for dead, so one of the Khans with him could have stolen the Pipboy, or even Benny himself could have taken it. As for the Armored Vault Suit, it is possible you could explain away the armored vault suit as lost from wear and tear, or shot up, or even stolen while the Curior was left for dead as well.
But still, I was under the impression that the Lone Wanderer died when he activated the purifier like when his dad did the first time, your even shown to fall over after you start it. Well, unless you get the mod that lets you keep playing, and you don't have that sequence take place, but that's a mod, not cannon...
ulysses is actually the wonderer. he watched the events of the divide as it was exploading and when he went to see if there was anyone he could help he could only even find one man laying, dieing on the ground. so he patches him up as best he can, but he knows hell soon be dead no matter what so he has him tell his story to pass the time. then at the end when the old ulysses dies the wonderer is so enraged that he takes up his identity and decides there will be justice for this crime
agree.
***** Good point, I never played the DLC, I shall have to fix that. But looking it over, I guess it changes the end where the Lone Wanderer survives at the "End" of the game?
If not, then they should be dead, as the Radiation from the purifier starting up killed James, so to should it have killed the LW.
If so then, I guess he could have stayed with the BOS, maybe as one of the random Soldiers you see in FO4? Or as a Paladin and didn't come to the Commonwealth? But then again, maybe he/she chose not to? It is possible that after the events of FO3 he/she chose to move on, and as he/she made their way to New Vegas. Their power armor failed and left it behind? (Or they did still have it, just forgot about it due to a gunshot to the head.) Then took a job as a Curior. Being who they are would explain how they were so good at what they did. Then when they got shot they lost all they knew and had to start over. It is interesting to ponder over, all the possibilities. Still it's up to Bethesda.
Could the lone wanderer be the courier? Because New Vegas takes place after fallout 3 and you don't know much of the courier from before, and you can find wasteland survival guides in the Mojave wasteland
