It really depends on what you want to say. In term of- THEIR EFFECT ON THE WORLD 1. The Vault Dweller, because he defeated the Master, the leader of a super mutant army that would've ravaged the country, he saved Vault 13, helped create the New California Republic, which is the best off country in the United States of America, saved the future President Tandi in her youth, founded the city of Arroyo, and grandfathered the Chosen One, who would become a hero in himself. 2. The Lone Wanderer, because he saved the entire planet from Mothership Zeta, purified the entire Capital Wasteland, (in the canon timeline) saved Megaton, helped The Pitt become prosperous, and defeated the Enclave forever. 3. The Courier, because he changed the Mojave Wasteland forever, (in my game, and what I THINK should be canon) founded the independent New Vegas, saved a large area from Ulysses, and changed Zion Canyon. 4. The Chosen One, because he defeated the Enclave temporarily, strengthened Arroyo, and made contributions around New California Republic territory. 5. The Warrior... because all he really did was join squads in the Brotherhood of Steel. Now if you're talking about- THEIR STORYLINE AND PERSONALITY 1. The Vault Dweller, because come on... HE'S A BAD-ASS! 2. The Courier, because he's mysterious. The Courier also has a great storyline and is also a bad-ass. 3. The Chosen One, because he has a lot of funny comments, does funny things, and random crap like that. 4. The Lone Wanderer, because he's kind of a daddy's boy. 5. The Warrior, because come on... all he does is kill people for the BoS.

I'm going for the following order: Vault Dweller, Courier, Lone Wanderer & Chosen One [I didn't like FO2 as much]. Captain Taipan 00:15, June 16, 2011 (UTC)

I never played the first fallout games, only Fallout 3 and New Vegas, so between the two I would say the Lone Wanderer.

The character seemed more personal, you had a back-story of growing up in the vault, even though you couldn’t return to see them, you knew you had family and friends nearby. Then searching for and helping your father seemed more personal as well.

In fact I think Fallout 3 made the whole game feel more personal, even things like the news broadcasts. In this game you’re never given credit for any of the things you do. When you do its something generic like “an alert civilian contractor.” I miss that recognition in New Vegas, in fact it’s the reason I seldom listen to Mr New Vegas. ReapTheChaos 12:28, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

In fallout new vegas you were, for me, recognized for your actions to broadly. If you killed an NCR patrol cause you felt like it and you killed them all without anyone seeing the NCR would know and become hostile. If you make any of the main factions hostile it can become annoying. If you made the NCR hostile then everywhere you went you had to wear NCR gear or kill people. It shuts off a large part of the game. In fallout 3 there is no wide recognition which is good. The faction idea was great but maybe the penalties for crossing factions could be lowered. I mean if you met the courier as an NCR officer and hes been helping you do jobs which are flatly impossible for one man to do eg wipe out cotton wood cove then if he kills four of your guys you might forgive him, instead of trying to kill him on the spot.

Um.. Where do I start with this? Ok, well first off, if you kill an NCR troop and you’re in sneak mode they don’t notice and you wont loose reputation with them. However to answer the broader question here, if you came to my house and did me a bunch of favors, then turned around and killed my friends or family, I’d despise you too, regardless of how much “good” you had done in the past. How does this not make sense to you? ReapTheChaos 18:16, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

In order: 1. The Chosen one because he was a cocky smart ass who always had some clever quip to throw in the bad guy's face. 2. The Courier because he seems like a hardcore grade A bad ass. 3. The Vault Dweller because he started it all. 4. the Warrior (from Fallout Tactics) Because he was a battle hardened BOS super elite. 5. The Lone wanderer because he is basically a sissy daddy's boy; however he is, so far, the only protagonist who can actually become a full-on cyborg. Zac hemker 09:26, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

What? The Vault Dweller, Chosen One and the Courier all can become cyborgs. Nemean for example? Brotherhood augmentations in Fallout 1? _Tagaziel ^(call!) 09:35, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

There is a difference between receiving combat implants and taking the 'Cyborg' perk. At no point are the specifics of the combat implants detailed as far as what exactly they are comprised of, save for the implants in New Vegas which are obviously some sort of computer chips. The ones in fallout 1 and 2 are simply called implants or enhancements and left at that. They could be chemical delivery systems or bio-tech. We don't know for sure. In new vegas the implants would be considered cybernetic in nature and so I yield to your point, however the Cyborg perk is certainly more definitive for the point that I was making. I do have one other point to make: Dude, are you going to contest every single thing I post in the forums? These are opinion pages after all. I appreciate your dedication to story continuity and attention to detail, but let's take it down a notch. Zac hemker 03:49, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

The original Vault Dweller will always be legendary - the guy who kickstarted the whole series as we know it, and being cast out of Vault 13 despite losing much of himself to ensure their safety. I'd then rate the Chosen One 2nd, because of how he had to follow in his grandfather's footsteps and the pressure he faced in doing so, then the Courier because of his amazing influence in the Mojave. The Chosen One would rank 4th (last) because, compared to the others, his journey had far too many black or white/ good or bad choices which were way too easy to pick - whereas everyone else had to face ambiguous choices all the way through. Willooi 09:41, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

1. Vault Dweller- Because he is the Ass-Kicking, mutant stomping, rebuilding, bad ass who started it all 2. Lone Wanderer- Because he has a great story line. only reason. 3. The Chosen One- Read Tagazie's entry 4. The Courier- He is a ass-kicking cowboy, but his story line sucks. 5. The Warrior- a dumb ass with a shit story. the only good part is Vault 0 Well thats my 2 caps worth. Colonel Aaron

1) The Courier - mine is super hot (without MODs), and fun to play - she came back from the dead afterall. 2) The Chosen One - there were sooo many hilarious lines and conversations, a lot of which related to his title. 3) The Lone Wanderer - you got to see him grow up. 4) The Vault Dweller - because he was the Vault Dweller. None was more important, or better known. --Tag! 03:39, September 9, 2011 (UTC)

I like the Chosen One's dialogue choices the best. I think the Vault Dweller and the Courier are tied for the best arc, though Lonesome Road may push the Courier ahead. The Warrior was a complete blank. The Lone Wanderer was too much of a cosmic linchpin for my liking, not to mention elements jacked from the Vault Dweller and Chosen One.--OvaltinePatrol 09:45, September 10, 2011 (UTC)

Hmmm I think the lone wanderer is probably my most favorite,and even though you guys say he was a sissy, I personally made him do the most evil things(nuke megaton, infect the water, sell Bryan Wilks to slavers, etc.) My next favorite would be the Chosen One, he was awesome, then the Vault Dweller, then the Courier( a courier?really?you couldn't make it more badass?)FalloutKiller 13:01, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

I've only played Fallout, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, so my favorite from most to least out of those three are: 1) Courier - I think his/her story is the best. 2) Lone Wanderer - Ok story 3) Vault Dweller - started the Fallout series Bldudas 14:43, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

Let me preface this by stating that I have never played Tactics or the DLC for New Vegas (i.e. Lonesome Road, which apparently expands the Courier's story a lot.). So here is my list based on my experience.

1. The Lone Wanderer, because his story is one filled with betrayal, heartache, despair, but ultimately peace and a happy ending;)

2. Chosen One, because, let's be honest, when you get his dialog options to tell Renesco about Arroyo, who didn't laugh their ass off?

3. The Courier. His background isn't that great (from what I know), but his actions during the game set him apart.

4. The Vault Dweller, because I didn't play the original enough to really fall for him.

5. The Warrior, because I've never played Tactics, though not from lack of trying.

Mr.NewVegas

the courier is mysterious because its the players job to get to know his story thats why i find him the most badass, but if you think about it anyone who does the things these guys did they are equal.

I didn't think the Lone Wanderer was a "daddy's girl." Just because he/she was loyal to their father doesn't mean they were a sissy. For me The Courier was too impersonal and I didn't really get to know much about them. The Lone Wanderer had a great storyline that made you really feel the characters. - Spider

Start of AED's Opinion.

In order and why: 1. The Courier - You start off not knowing his story, and slowly get to know him and have met most if not all of the present factions in the series: NCR, RobCo, BoS, Legion, Enclave and their current status is dependent on the choices the Courier makes. He have also survived the horrors of the Pre-War Utopia of Sierra Madre, the Primitive Tribes of Zion, the zombies of the Big Empty, which all leads to the battle under the Ancient Flag of the Old World. P.s. You know you should start running when you see someone in Elite Riot Gear.

2. The Vault Dweller - The dude who started is all. He started off Arroyo, which then leads to the development of the Democratic New California. He's also defeated the Master's Army (correct me if I'm wrong).

3. The Lone Wanderer - Trust me, I like him/her because of the feels but something about going out to the wastes only to find his/her father really bugs me. The ending was disappointing too. Although I admit, I liked the whole atmosphere of the game.

4. The Chosen One - Towards the end of Fallout 2, what bothered me most was that the Chosen One didn't finish off the Enclave.

5. Warrior - I've never played his game but through reading other opinions I don't find a story-less character interesting.

End of AED's Opinion.
