I'm know onto roleplaying a veteran from the Great War who's returned home to find that his family has been kidnapped in a similair fashion to Boone's wife. Upon return he takes a great journey across the mojave wasteland in search of them were it then become intwined with the main quest arc. To help with my roleplaying I use the roving trader outfit and 1st Recon Beret to give my self a real paramilitary look, I also make us of all the WWII era weaponary i.e Automatic Rifle, This Machine, .45 Auto Pistol, Chances Knife, .45 Submachine gun ect.

In the past I've also done the previously mentioned solid snake style stelath based character with the assasins armour ect.

:Any Canon inaccuracies are because I don't give a poop:

Roleplaying this do you get a sixy Mila Kunis as your companion? :wink_smile:

Anything I can think of.
Mostly in NV an old wastelander looking to move on past all the crap that is taking place in the Mojave.

Nah. Just Rosie.

I have two characters atm. The first guy, Floyd Barrett is on hold until the next DLC arrives. He's an unstable former mucisian, turned courier (unstable partly due to getting shot in the head, and he enjoys the use of certain drugs... like cave fungus). Even though he's unstable, he still supports the NCR, and despises Caesar's Legion, but somehow managed to support The Burned Man..

Arnold Layne is a real sleazeball. As a peeping tom, he's been trying to put his past behind him after peeping on the wrong person...and so he headed out west to get away from it all, but you know how it goes, old habits die hard. Although he's not evil, and won't support Caesar's Legion, he won't support the NCR either. No, he's got other things in mind, mainly chaos.

My character was a Tribal who abandons his tribe after Caesar took it over, then he became known for his fighting in "The Thorn" then was knocked unconscious one night after a fight, woke up stripped of all of his goods, then he was forced to get a job as a courier to get money to make it by, and well you know what happened after that...

:sadvaultboy:

In FO:New Vegas?

The Courier.

Arnold must have some awesome sneak skills :ninja:

In FNV I'll roleplay based on how my daily mood is.

Personaly, I would roleplay in bdsn, Love playing the part of submission with a hot girl.

I'd take leash-training from Red Lucy, any day...

imagine me as a better armed Mad Max with a cyborg dog instead of a regular dog.......... I miss Dogmeat

I role play as a sleep therapist who specializes in dirt naps.

Most of the time I ignore the "courier" comments, as it's a big of a pigeonhole. Also the fact that some of my characters are carryovers from Fallout 3.

A neutral merc/wasteland hunter.

but to get any of the good gear from gommorah, you have to kill a prosttute...that's not very submissive. I don't know, it takes a different character to play a sub in this kind of video game, you have too many choices to make! Do you usually side with Caesar? :hubbahubba:

A brotherhood of steel paladin operating out of the abandoned BoS Bunker. Or a NCR ranger who joined with the desert rangers merged into the NCR.

An ex-gang member from New Reno who fled to the Mojave after his gang didn't like his change of heart. Even before I came up with that little background for my character I always made him very rat pack styled you can only imagine how happy I was to get a Tommy Gun in Honest Hearts.

Currently, I'm roleplaying as the Courier. And by that, I mean with lots of detail and following the path based on the clues you get (the gigantic Mojave U-turn to get to New Vegas). I've only actually followed that path intimately in one playthrough (linear path my ass, you can get past the Deathclaws, Cazadores, and Radscorpions with trial and error easily). I am doing everything in an order that flows together naturally and only doing quests that I'd happen upon based on my current objective.

Delivering a single package is pigeonholing? Really?

I think he's referring to the Courier's history of being a courier for some length of time before the event that started the game- he/she was employed as one- it wasn't just a random job that he/she only happened to do once. And that 'history' as an employee of the courier company doesn't jibe with some of his RP characters.

You brought a package from somewhere in the NCR to New Vegas. Nothing about the story implies you've been a courier and only a courier your whole life. Nothing implies you've even been doing it for longer than the time it took to get from California to Nevada.

Well, you could be right, I'll grant you. But what I'm basing my assumptions on (both our positions are merely that, assumptions), is this (from fallout wiki):

"Not much is known about the Courier's background, apart from they have some sort of a relationship with Ulysses, the previous Courier Six. For reasons unknown, Ulysses pulled out of the delivery job when he learned that the Courier's name was next on the list, seemingly convinced that the job would kill the Courier - and he was almost right."

I interpret that part about our Courier to mean they were 'next on the company's list of available couriers for a job'. Which to me infers a regular company employee (for an unknown period of time, long or short), waiting for the next available courier job. Of course it may have been their very first job after signing up, but he/she would have had to sign up and become an employee of the company in order to be on their available couriers list. So, I can realistically infer (in my opinion anyway) that the courier was an official company employee, although we aren't told how long they had been with the company prior to the start of NV. But it wasn't like they just hooked up with some random stranger on a street corner in California and said "Sure, I'll take a package to Vegas for ya for XXX caps."

So, I have some basis in the story background to realistically believe that the courier may very well have been employed with that company for more than just the one (almost fatal) job.
