Courier Six? Survived two gunshots to the head at point-blank range, seems to be experienced with walking long, hard and dangerous roads according to Ulysses, robbed the Sierra Madre blind while a bomb collar was strapped to his neck, out-foxed the guy who put it on him and lived to tell the tale, is one of the only four people to survive the Big Empty, walked the Divide and lived to tell the tale (only two have done this), assassinated OR prevented the assassination of NCRs President, prevented nukes from being fired on the NCR and Legion OR did so himself, and single-handedly secured the future of the Mojave as what it is (what that is, we don't yet know) for generations.

Ulysses? Again, survived the Big Empty, worked as one of Caesar's best scouts and Frumentarii, responsible for the fall of New Canaan, one of the only two people to walk the Divide and live to tell the tale, had the willpower and the conviction to threaten a nation with nuclear weapons.

Graham? The First Legate, led Caesar's army for a time, feared by many for his mercilessness in the face of his enemies, both those captured and those being fought, survived being lit on fire and thrown into the Grand Canyon, survived multiple sniper shots to the head.

Vulpes? Lanius? Elijah? Christine?


Soooo many badasses have walked the Mojave. Who do you consider to be the MOST badass?

Mean Sonofa[censored]. Nuf' said.

House.

Joshua Graham.

Orion Moreno

Boone, especially if we take the ending whereby the Legion win and he becomes the stuff of nightmares for the legion despite the bounty on his head.

Raul

Kane the most badass in the Mojave!

Joshua graham i mean come on the guy was tortured covered in pitch lit on fire and throne off of Hover Damn into the Colorado River and SURVIVED ONE TOUGH S.O.B.

Me.

I'm sorry but until the Courier can survive being lit on fire and thrown into the [censored] Grand Canyon come back and [censored] pistol whip a guy across the face for messing with a national park that no one has inhabited for hundreds of years, he/she has no claim to badassery. Raul and Lanius come close, as does the Courier. But Jesus Joshua Graham can stand up to some insane stuff.

Of course Courier 6.

I think Elijah would be the most "badass" otherwise. Old coot is a scientific and improvisation genius who can get out of anything and makes possibly one of the most powerful handheld weapons imaginable )not to mention his couple of other bits and pieces). His obsession is his downfall though. I think all of the "badass" characters are too obsessed to see more than what's directly in front of them barring the reformed Burned Man (he had it...beat into him, literally), so Graham would probably take it, just not overall.

Thank you.

Knew I was forgetting to drop a name in the original post.
Dude got shot the hell up really bad, somehow survived a six-against-one (or whatever it was) and he's got one of the fastest trigger-fingers of the Mojave. Not to mention all the experience he has under his belt.

Joshua Graham is the epitome of being a badass, even in lore I'd put him up against Lanius any day.

1.) Joshua Graham

2.) Courier

3.) Ulysses

4.) Raul

5.) Christine

6.) Julie Farkas

Rolling down the Grand Canyon would have likely put the flames out with all that dirt, IJS. More people survive fire than being shot in the head, twice.

Be that as it may how many people survive falling four thousand feet into a body of water-which has a surface tension that makes it equivalent to hitting concrete? There is no denying the Courier is badass, but my point is. Until the Courier is shown to be able to fall four thousand feet and live, they will not be as badass as Graham.

Joshua Graham. Damn 50DT he has.

Joshua Graham. Have you guys actually SEEN the Grand Canyon? That thing this is HUEG. Like Xbox HUEG.

And then crawling out of it after being lid on fire? Damnnnnnn...

And he didn't even scream.

Well...i trew a fire bomb at my feet and then jumped in the canyon,climbed up at deathclaw promontory and slaughtered the all with my ballistic fist...no drugs...who's your bad-ass now?Oh don't forget that courier 6 is so damn accurate that he can shoot-up grenades in enemies hands...

Or Lily.

Lily will choke the [censored] that messes with her grandchildren.

Ok, cmon people u are forgetting an important part to Joshua grahim. the dude was covered in PITCH, its a sticky substance thats pretty much it has to finish burning whatever its burning to stop. u cant just stop drop and roll, ur just gonna still be on fire but setting the landscape on fire. Throw into the grand canyon AND didnt scream at all AND the dude gets to the bottom after the fires have burnt his skin off, the dude walks up to freaking utah. thats a longass walk with burnt ass skin. hands down, Joshua grahim.

1. joshua
2. courier
3. Raul

I sort of feel odd trying to put the Courier OR Joshua Graham on top of the list. BOTH have been through multiple events that should've killed them. It's like trying to argue if you're more badass for falling off a building while on fire than you are for getting shot twice in the head at point-blank range; how the HELL would we know?

It's like a lot of the other characters in the game have done one action that's gained them badass status, but the Courier and Graham have each done 5+ actions that would earn them badass status. Kinda hard to say whose actions deserve more credit.

The PC is a badass by default

Joshua Graham, Father Elijah, Randal Clark, and Ulysses are all pretty badass to
