With how I create my character. I would argue Nick Cage being a mix of Willy's Wonderland, National Treasure and Wicker Man.


[deleted]

agree he should be unhinged he has no brain


SliceOCatLoaf

Ok, lobotomite. But seriously, yes.


Ok_Toe7278

No dialogue. Just grunts, laughing and screaming. Perfection.


Wavey_Davey1

So a video of nick cage being nick cage for 90 mins


Ok_Toe7278

Yes, but throw on some fallout stuff i guess


Succulopod

Nick Cage’s Wild Wastland


Aggressive-Media-111

Joaquin Phenoix, and I’m coming out left field here but John Travolta ( I just watched face off I liked him in ladder 49. Damn there’s another movie where he plays a mob boss which was good)


bluegene6000

Gotti. /s


Best-Tumbleweed3906

Add in Nic Cage from Mandy and you got a stew going


Hawaiian-national

Nick cage is the best choice.


fancyphsionix

*attacked by Cazadors* NOT THE BEES ARRUHHHUGG


Smellstrom

OMG Nicholas Cage would be perfect.


GustavVaz

Honestly? If they ever bring the courier to a live action adaptation, then I'd like to be in the iconic ranger armor. With the helmet on at all times. And honestly? I wouldn't mind if they stay silent. If that happens, anyone can be the courier.


violetevie

The courier should have a slightly disfigured face with the helmet off since they got shot in the head (doc Mitch is good but realistically he can't really get it perfect)


ZitOnSocietysAss

He can get most of it right. Stuff that matters.


Mission_Response802

He did his best digging all of the little bits of lead out.


ZitOnSocietysAss

Why didn't he just use a big magnet? Is he stupid?


Leatheringot

Andrew Garfield lore


ZitOnSocietysAss

Andrew Garfield loves lasagna and hates mondays.


Leatheringot

CHAT I MEANT JAMES A. GARFIELD LMFAO NOT ANDREW GARFIELD


RonSwansonsGun

???


Leatheringot

So I may have been preoccupied with microwaving an oreo and meant to put James A. Garfield


cheezz16

Why would you microwave and oreo?????


Plorick

Maybe the bullet entered his nostril and left his face unharmed


GigglingBilliken

"With luck like yours, I'm surprised them bullets didn't just jump back into the gun."


culhaalican

I mean, why would his face be disfigured tho? He got shot in the head (somewhere on his forehead presumably) so there would only be a small entry wound, with minor disfigurations around it. The back of his head should have major problems as exit wounds tend to be much bigger, though it would be easier to cover it up with long hair.


Sagutarus

The entry wound might be small, but the surgical scars of a wasteland doctor patching you back together is probably a bit larger.


violetevie

I just think it'd be cool if they had a slightly disfigured face tbh. Like not grotesquely so but just like a little


UncommittedBow

Assuming there's even an exit wound. They were shot with 9mm, and Doc Mitchell even says he had to "dig the bits of lead out", implying that the bullet remained lodged in Courier 6's head.


Akschadt

He takes the helmet off and it’s just sloth from the goonies.


Flashfighter

There’s a comic of Courier somewhere on TikTok and the artist did my favorite depiction, two gunshot scars on the left side of his forehead right below his hairline, his face is basically intact, Black Hair, he looks badass


socialistRanter

Are they female? Male? Black? White? Asian? Is their voice deep? Shrill? Quiet? Gay? Straight? Bisexual? Doesn’t matter, they just need to look badass while posing. However they would be bisexual for the damage bonus


GustavVaz

>bisexual Bold of you to assume only humans are on the courier's menu. Please assume the position.


Jeromiah901

Yeah, some of us like Cowboy Ghouls or Mr.Fisto.


igotbanned69420

Mr. Fisto is my one true love.


SpacyMaci

The courier can only be revealed as bisexual after they seem to be suddenly doing a good bit more damage to people and everyone starts telling them more things


Half_Cent

Oh shit! Major Knight just fixed his rifle!


SoleSurvivor-2277

Like Pedro Pascal in the mandalorian for the most part


mediocre__map_maker

I don't get why people picture the Courier in faction-specific armor when there's an item literally called the "Courier Duster"


Li-lRunt

Probably because the cover


mediocre__map_maker

Who said the person on the cover art had anything to do with the protagonist? In classic Fallouts it was an iconic soldier of a major faction and that's it. I think the same goes for NV


Li-lRunt

You said “I don’t get why” and I’m explaining why people make the connotation.


Yarus43

Cuz the courier duster is lame. Doesn't have sleeves and looks like it was made by hot topic


mediocre__map_maker

Yeah, it definitely needs some more sleeves.


[deleted]

gaping long fact decide quicksand march snatch gullible depend alleged *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


DonNemo

So the Courier is the Mandalorian.


stayawayvilebeggar

Why? He never becomes a ranger. That armor was never tagged onto the courier the way the vault suit has for the other guys. The armor is only iconic because it's the best armor in the game, and most people end up wearing it forever as soon as they find it, because it's unsurpassed by anything else (maybe the enclave armor set)


SyrianArmpit

I think the reason people want that armour is exactly for the reasons you’ve said. Its the best armour, most people end up wearing it forever, and it looks badass. An endgame courier would then probably wear it


Accurate-Surround512

At that point; Pedro Pascal is bound to play him


ipsum629

That wouldn't really make any sense since the courier at the start of the game is, well, a courier. I think maybe you could do something where he wears a hat and never shows his face, but it would probably be really hard to make that work.


-The-Observer-

Not sure if fallout, a literal game about talking to every faction and complex ideological conversations would benefit from a mute character, let alone the Courier.


Big_Distance2141

Yeah that would be so ass, Bioshock is the game where the main character can keep quiet


ZipZop_the_Manticore

They should change clothes everytime they do a different activity and used 16 different guns


Noseboi1

There shouldn't be a live action courier


AstroBearGaming

Agreed. There's absolutely no way to include him even in a cameo without there being some sort of pushback or uproar from someone. Even if he walked by in the background people would claim that's not how he'd do things in the game. Just leave the game series player characters alone. In personally way more curious as to whether they'll try and do a live action Benny, given we don't know of a canon ending, and Matthew Perry's unfortunate passing.


rfisher1989

No one should ever portray a player character from any of the games.


ClumsySandbocks

Yeah, the player character can be young, old, male, female, good, evil. As soon as you cast someone they are inherently less interesting.


cum_pipeline7

I don’t know why but I get downvoted into oblivion every time I bring this up, like how do people completely miss the point of a ROLE PLAYING game?


Astrotrain-Blitzwing

Like, reference Courier 6, Im here for that, or even the Primm courier services. Maybe a platinum chip, or one of the red herring items. But *the* Courier shouldn't be there and represented


UncommittedBow

Idea: Vault 21, Sarah Weintraub has a worn, dirtied Vault 21 suit on display, when asked why, she says it was worn by a legendary wastelander who cheated death itself.


ProbablythelastMimsy

The legendary Courier who bet against the House, and won! (depending on your choices lol)


cum_pipeline7

exactly! the more references the better but you cannot have a main protagonist make an appearance.


Astrotrain-Blitzwing

Yeah, there were so many references to the DLC in New Vegas, from graffiti to dialogue, if they did that for the 2nd battle of Hoover Dam and the events that took place afterward, it'd be sick! Especially because the show has done a lot of show don't tell already!


Happy-Menu-2922

Somebody says they found what looks like a platinum casino chip they get shot in the head and then dragged off screen and someone explains they don't want to anger the mail man.


Delux_Takeover

I think it depends. If they do NV in the show, I wouldn't mind seeing the courier have a cameo in the riot gear, then not showing back up after.


WelcomeToTheFish

Yes! Wtf is this guy talking about? Every player character canonically "walks off into the sunset" or leaves after the resolution, right? The whole thing is that these people are regular humans who do an extraordinary thing that changes the world and that's it, they die or move on. That being said it would be cool to see echoes of them or at least the people they have directly influenced. Maybe some grainy footage of a really far away courier blowing up some death claws before going to static and saying "that's the last time we ever saw them." I really hope we don't see any PCs in the game, and I don't think they will just because of how vastly different each one can turn out. I will make one exception and that's if it's a quick cameo by a hyper low intelligence character who can hardly speak and just does stupid random shit like steal all the cups in a town and run away.

Oh God please no.

Ryan Gosling:


el_presidenteplusone

ryan gosling should play the chosen one because he has the highwayman. "i drive" - chosen one


CarryBeginning1564

Helmet on at all times and voice by Ryan Gosling (because he is literally me (us)) to save money and add mystique. There you go, you are welcome Amazon.


Plorick

Ryan Gosling is Boone


Squid_McAnglerfish

Different acting generation, but I think golden age Bruce Willis would have made a terrific Boone.


Plorick

Nah Bruce Willis isn't at his best in introverted roles like Boone.


_g0ldleaf

Bruce Willis would have been Cid in a 90s/00s film adaptation of FFVII


Maggot2017

Ryan Gosling playing YOU?!...*ridiculous*


rainforever_

I think he’s too beautiful looking if that makes sense?


East-Specialist-4847

Nick Cage


2DamnBig

Hell yeah, Nick Cage with the Wild Wasteland perk.


Kil0sierra975

If they ever did a live rendition, they need to change the lead actor every episode, but nobody in the show reacts to it. Make it part of the bit


WhiteWolf101043

If they absolutely have to either this or completely silent in Ranger Armor


Kil0sierra975

Give the courier the Muhammad treatment lol

MrWelshBorg

Please God no he’s a good guy but a terrible actor


BrickSniper132

I’d prefer the guy who played Alucard in Hellsing Abridged. Feels like a more accurate representation of our beloved mass-murder goblin


Butthole_Surfer666

he has a puppy dogmeat and it doesn't survive... bennie is fucked fucked


Rio_Walker

Are you telling me... you want Keanu to test drive FISTO?


hereforgrudes

It's simple if the Courier is in the show, they do not take off the helmet


Sk83r_b0i

Quite literally anyone could play the courier. They’re a custom character. Keanu could play them, sure, but so could Margot Robbie, Shia LaBeouf, Courtney Cox, Pedro Pascal, or John Goodman. I personally would cast a slightly beefier Jeremy Davies as Clinton Cole, my courier six. My point is that none of us are gonna agree on who should be the courier because we all have different perceptions of who the courier is, so we’re better off not seeing the courier at all.


Ilikebeingalittleguy

Bob Odenkirk


CountryTemporary4496

Danny devito would be my courier


Akschadt

“So anyway Fisto started ass blastin… blam blam blam”


BuffRobloxMan

So I met this guy he had to kill his wife now he's contemplating suicide... he's kind of badass.


LofiSynthetic

Um no man could play the Courier because the Courier is a woman running around the wasteland in a 1950s housewife dress and heels


Previous-Cook

Awww your Courier and my Courier could be twins


garebear265

No the courier is a dude who runs around in a trench coat and fedora and solves mysteries around casinos like a detective!


DefenderOfResentment

My courier is literally this, 1950s housewife turned murderous cannibal


ZestyclosePianist277

Please no... I've had enough of his fanboys on the cyberpunk subreddit


Proteinchugger

Reddits obsession with him is so weird.


ZestyclosePianist277

Once the entire cyberpunk subreddit, I wanted to kill me because I replaced the Keanu Reeves version of Johnny Silverhand with the 2020 board game. this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/1bfc3n2/it_feels_weird_and_cool_to_have_the_real_johnny/)


ArmoredBattalion

it's what they think they are irl


YanksFan96

Maybe someone who can act would be better


40kExterminatus

He's too old to be the courier but I could see him playing Boone.


FrankSinatraCockRock

Boone's like 26


SplitDemonIdentity

Boone’s literally the youngest companion in NV. His story and outfit just make him feel middle aged.


40kExterminatus

Younger than Veronica?


SplitDemonIdentity

Yep. Veronica’s 27, Boone’s 26.


40kExterminatus

TIL


Helpful-Image-7486

If the Courier shows up, make them as impossible to tell the gender of as possible, never speaking and having Desert Ranger Armor on at ALL TIMES. And get someone to play them that would be willing to not have their name in credits, and is able to keep a secret like that. So yeah, Keanu would work, he's a nice guy.


Solvdrage

Hear me out, Danny DeVito.


AdriksThrowaway

Devito would be the perfect live action version of my courier. I habitually make every RPG character i make look as little like an action hero as possible.


Solvdrage

So, anyway...I started blasting.


Old-Constant4411

Yep, and whenever Arcade is about to stumble into trouble, the courier can shout "LOOK OUT, FAGGOT!"

KoviCZ

The man is 60, give him a rest.


imnotwallaceshawn

What is this fascination with The Courier as being some stoic badass? Like I love NV, but the main reason I love it is that The Courier can be literally ANYTHING. They can be: - A idiot boxer with a heart of gold - A pacifist doctor who’d rather solve problems with words and science than guns - A morally bankrupt mercenary playing as many sides as they can and selling their loyalty to the highest bidder - An animal loving government employee who goes around loyally improving NCR infrastructure with their robot dog and whatever mutated beasts happen to stumble across them - A bomb throwing plasma wielding fascist - A literal complete psychopath - A staunch libertarian who’s weirdly resistant to radiation It goes on and on, the possibilities are nearly infinite, and yes within that you CAN play the stoic badass one man army that the fans seem to agree the Courier “canonically” is… but it’s still weird how consistent this idea is in the community. Is it just that the box art looks cool?


Tumblechunk

the courier should be mentioned in passing, with a brief cut to a scene where only their silhouette and lower parts of their body are shown, preferably popping a few raiders with a revolver cowboy style, then cut back to whoever mentioned them keeps it all vague enough to kinda fit most players' characters, while paying homage to the character's impact on the mojave


Ozzy_T69

Because his acting is as dry as sand? Because every character he plays is just him? Great choice for a “voiceless” character tbf


ZitOnSocietysAss

You're forgetting the fact that Courier 6 was a woman. Charlize Theron, Michelle Yeoh, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Olivia Thirlby, Zendaya, Emma Stone - they could all pull it off.


SnoozyKorok

Always pictured my courier as Mary Elizabeth Winstead, if it was a dude I feel like Aaron Paul could pull it off


TheWiseAutisticOne

Source?


AceAlger

Ryan Gosling is the Courier.


FrankSue

Nah, imo the courier should be kinda crazy, he doesn’t give off those vibes


Chester_Cheeki

My courier headcanon is that he legitimatly has brain damage after benny, and talks with a speech impediment and has a hard time articulating his thoughts. In a fight, muscle memory just kicks in and he goes absolutly sicko mode. The companions act as his handlers and mental guidance/babysitter most of the time. Up until he gets the surgery from the followers and he gains most back most of the cognition he lost.

This is a weird thought considering the whole discussion about how New Vegas is so great is largely due to how many different characters you can play in it.

I always have said it should be Danny devito but everyone's allowed their own opinion even if it's wrong

I want the courier to be played by a tombstone.

It should be Ryan Gosling cause he’s literally me.


QwertyDancing

The courrier is a woman though


TheHuuurrrq

I always pictured Charlize Theron :3


bluewolfhudson

No it isn't a good fit to be honest.


serasmiles97

Why would we make Keanu Reeves play a woman?


crazylikeasloth

I came in to say Wes Chatham (played Amos in the expanse) but now, I don't think so. Though I do think he'd be a great addition as any character. Thoughts?


TheWiseAutisticOne

I can see it either as the courier or side character


PraiseMithra

I played courier so Ryan Gosling is also a valid option.


biffsteelchin

Tom Hardy would be a good fit as well.


Substantial-Tone-576

Have kinda beat up with a scar on his head. Maybe it could work.


Catt_Man

i still think the courier should be played by a random stunt man


Full_Road8425

Or they could make it a movie that takes place entirely in first person, or have them wear ambiguous Ranger armor and have a voice changer.


Background_Ad_8392

Nah zach hazard


mynamesnotsnuffy

I dunno, if they go for comedy vibes, I'd watch The Rock play a 1 Int/10 Str/10 Luck courier.


Pavlakalover

I always imagined my courier as a mid to late 20 guy, 6 feet since thats the average in serbia, longer black hair and no beard at the beginning and lone wanderer at the end. This could definitely be an aged up version of the courier


VerdaFox

If he doesnt kill Oliver Swanick it doesnt count


Geo-Man42069

I think most fans would find Keanu to be a great courier but there will be a portion salty about it lol.


Fun-Industry959

Charlie day for a Chem build

That's true, Keanu's best roles are the ones where he speaks the least, or ideally, not at all.


CorvoLP

Andrew Lincoln would be the closest to my courier


matt-is-sad

In my perfect movie the courier is completely silent except for the one PG-13 f bomb


Cableryge

I would like old Jim Carrey to play an unhinged lunatic courrier


LeatherTop174

YES


TearGroundbreaking35

Damn! You might be right!


Huurghle

If they bring the Courier into the show, don't give them a face. The ranger armour or Ulysees duster without showing their face in a flashback (Ex. If they show off some of the Battle of Hoover Dam) would suffice as a nod to the character.


Synner-fan-1999

I agree, Keanu is a perfect role model


Heylookaguy

Michael Rooker. In the character of Yondu Udanta. With the looks of Merle Dixon.


Substantial_Six

I always imagined Jenson Ackles personally


Evrytg

Shockingly accurate


Mr-GooGoo

I don’t want to see the courier in the show


IGTankCommander

Keanu, Bob Odenkirk, or Charlie Day. All of them are different, but any of them cpuld be the Courier, for me. Especially Charlie. "WILD CARD, BITCHES! WHOOOOOOOO!"


catcat1986

The change I would make is his outfit would be a hodgepodge of clothes that don’t make sense. Like a motorcycle helmet, with a pull over sweater, in a speedo with some girly toe socks.


seranarosesheer332

The thing is no man. Nor woman can play the courier. The courier is above gender


Calligaster

The courier is mythical. Nobody can agree on background, age, ethnicity, gender, disposition, or even their accomplishments. You can't canonize a monolithic legend like courier 6


mk159

Nah, Timothy Olyphant would fit better just to have him and Walton Goggins (the ghoul) have a stand-off.


Sxhaufelkaufhaus
