Is it possible for the Lone wanderer in fallout 3 to be the courier as well? Think about it. between the dlc you figure out that your character has a long past.

New Vegas takes place 3 years after project purity. plenty of time for the lone wanderer to wander and settle west. Ulysses says that the one place in the west was your home. "maybe not your birth place, but still your home." just been thinking about it.

Probably not possible with all the back history you get from Usyless in Lonesome Road. The courier did a lot of travelling in other places. Way to far on the west coast compared to the Capital Wasteland. And actually, if you pretend Broken Steel isn't there, the courier died.

No it isn't possible. When the Lone Wanderer was leaving Vault 101 in Wastington DC, the Courier was on the otherside of the country in Califoria. He also went to Nevada and caused the what happened at the Divide.

They aren't the same person.
