==2nd Oldest child in the vault? WRONG==
  
  +
{{Infobox weapon gamebryo
−
You say here that he is the 2nd oldest because butch is the only other child at the party with a pipboy. Have you even tried talking to Wally? If you talk to Wally he says that your party is 'okay' but that his 10th birthday party was a lot better, and then mocks the player by saying 'oh yeah i didnt invite you!'. The fact that Wally doesnt have his pipboy with him at the time indicates that there is no telling where he stands in terms of age with the other children.

This Ripper has been specially designed by the Gun Runners to accept modifications, unlike its [[Ripper (Fallout: New Vegas)|standard variant]]. This customizable weapon is able to deliver even more continuous amounts of damage against its targets. Much like the [[chainsaw]], this tool once used as a weapon can dismember enemy limbs with great ease. With a [[Sneak]] of 50 or greater, it is considered an[[Holdout weapons#Improved Holdout Weapons|improved holdout weapon]].

Yeah, I thought that there should be some consistency, but the Narrator calls him 'The Lone Wanderer' consistently and Three-Dog calls him '101' consistently -- by now I don't think it would cause any confusion to use both interchangeably.--[[Special:Contributions/97.81.77.13|97.81.77.13]] 20:04, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

* When using the ripper against certain non-human enemies (like [[Giant mantis (Fallout: New Vegas)|giant mantises]]), red blood will be spilled instead of the intended blood color.

:James always refers to you as 'son' or 'daughter', I don't think there is any holotapes from James in vault 112. Also, I doubt the PC has a name because it's supposed to be you (the player) and can be either male or female.

The "canon" status of the name "Lone Wanderer" is disputable. However, from a story teller's perspective, such as the narrator, the name (at the time of telling the story)might be the most accepted name for the character. The time at which the story is told might be decades from the actual events described in the story. The story teller may have learned about this "lone wanderer from Vault 101" from his ancestors, who also uphold the name "Lone Wanderer" and, as such, considers this name to be the most prominent. Other names are also tied to this one special character, such as "Vault Kid", "101", "Crazy Kid from Vault 101" as well as names that are based on your reputation (Karma), but none seem to stand out as much as the "Lone Wanderer". I believe that if a future Fallout game would make reference to the events in Fallout 3, the PC would be described as a "person from a Capitol Wasteland Vault" or simply "Lone Wanderer". So, the name "Lone Wanderer" isnt really the name of the character, but is generally accepted as the most prominent, both currently and well into the future. --Radnus [[Special:Contributions/81.205.186.16|81.205.186.16]] 19:08, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

With the parent's link with religion and even naming the passcode to the Project under 21:6 it's possible that the lone wanderer was named under the his birthday testament, Micah.

== Place of Birth -SPOILERS AHEAD- ==

I believe James clearly states ingame that the project failed after you were born, and the other scientists moved on to found what is now Rivet City. Suggesting that you were not born in Rivet City as it did not exist yet.[[Special:Contributions/80.101.161.195|80.101.161.195]] 11:48, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

:If not Rivet City... Has anyone tried using the console to leave the operating table and fly around the room to see if it looks like any place in particular? I might try to figure out how to do that. One thing to notice is that Dr. Li is there with James. She is the one that takes you out of the room when the mother is having some troubles.

::I haven't used any commands to explore the room as mentioned above, however my guess is your character is born below Project Purity. If you explore the area (such as when your father has you restoring power and fuses and such) you'll see living quarters. It's clear you aren't in a vault, and Rivet City seems unlikely as well (as mentioned above). James and Doctor Li make it sound like your birth is the final event that ends the project, so it's likely it was being at least somewhat worked on and occupied at the time you are born.

:Agreed. Pinkerton, Li, and rest founded Rivet City after the project failed. Also, Star Paladin Cross accompanies James and baby to Vault 101, and BoS were only stationed at Project Purity (as far as we know).

Make no mistake about Rivet City: City Founders Log, April 25, 2239. That's quite a bit further back than the project failed. Also, Catherine's holotape is found inside the Memorial, most likely recorded on the day/night the PC is conceived. Assuming they stayed at Pr.Purity (due to Catherine's assumed determination) during her pregnacy, it would be unwise to have her travel to Rivet City to "unleash" (er... right) her child there as the Brotherhood could provide more protection at the Memorial. --Radnus [[Special:Contributions/81.205.186.16|81.205.186.16]] 22:05, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Rumor has it that the Vault 101 Dweller, or the Lone Wanderer, is brought back to life later via retcon. Any comments on that?

They say he/she will be brought back in broken steel even if the sacrifice option is chosen,i wonder how they'll do that,as the amount of radiation in PP's control chamber can kill any human VERY fast,but perhaps sarah lyons uses some of that "magic rad-x" that colonel autumn uses

But in the 'Sacrifice' way of finishing, i thought it showed Lyons looking in PP's Control Room, Showing Vault Dweller turning into dust (as if you killed someone with a Laser gun)!

My guess is that they'll change it so the radiation actually doesn't kill you.

In Broken Steel, the Wanderer should have at least turned into a ghoul due to the radiation. I believe this expansion ruined the essence of the original ending with his survival (not that that is a bad thing, mind you).

: Granted, this question was a ways ago, but I can speculate a little... Alpha is beginning, omega is end.

Another possibility would be Alpha referring to life, and Omega referring to death, it's your choice to either kill or save... or both.

You probably aren't supposed to have crit rad poisoning for an extended period of time. Otherwise, (assuming instant ghoulification) going through certain areas, you'd pretty much instantly be ghoulified and.... well, there's upsides and downsides to that, but it would kind of rule out dieing from rad poisoning if you just instantly turned into a ghoul and started being healed by it... Another possibility would be that the lone wanderer doesn't have the physical capacity to store enough rads to become a ghoul, as some die of poisoning before getting the opportunity to become a ghoul.

== Mandarin ==

I hardly believe that the PC learned Mandarin in the Vault. The PipBoy may have translated it for the PC, just as much as it translates the physical status, ammo and CND of equiped weapons to the PC. (beyond 2000 bullets you lose count of the remaining ammo of one weapon, imagine switching weapons...) --Radnus [[Special:Contributions/81.205.186.16|81.205.186.16]] 00:07, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

: In addition, Pipboys may not translate Japanese from Kago as it has no priority. Although during the OA simulation the translation may come from the sim itself, it still requires a Pipboy to enter the sim, suggesting that Pipboys are either federal or semi-military devices. As such, to properly interrogate Chinese (Jingwei understanding you might be the work of the Pipboy too) or to counterspy on Chinese looking people (as in Point Lookout before the bombs fell), Mandarin might have been installed in the Pipboy. This could somewhat help American federal agents to seperate the Japanese from the Chinese, and as such, prevent mass execution from Japanese folks. Last but not least, even if Kago were Chinese, he would speak an older version of Mandarin, thus still making it hardly possible for a Pipboy to translate it (Kago is supposedly over six hundred years old according to his crest). Further more, Terminals can have their Chinese texts translated by the Pipboy as it is most likely that Pipboys and current Terminals are both made by RobCo as well as the fact that RobCo also produced military hardware (this of course only adds to the possibility of the Pipboy being somewhat of a military device, even if its only known contractor for the devices is Vault-Tec, which on its own was already working for the US government. It was never mentioned that Pipboys were not directly sold to the military but its not denied either). It is possible that Pipboys were outfitted with Mandarin translators in case some Chinese remnants would remain in the US after the Vaults opened (which was indeed the case). A Japanese encounter was probably never expected. --Radnus [[Special:Contributions/81.205.186.16|81.205.186.16]] 21:33, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

The PipBoy may even have a scanner: Chinese books are translated, but perhaps only because the characters are small enough to be understood by the PipBoy. Chinese posters can not be interacted with, probably because the characters are too big or too faded over time, and as such, can not be translated by the PipBoy. I would also like to point out that one of the two Chinese radio broadcasts is a very clear spoken, uncorrupted loop of a female voice. This broadcast is most likely intended for those US born Chinese or American people sympathetic to the Chinese cause and does not need to be translated, or that it's an external electronic source, like the Holotape found in PL (the one needed for opening the safe, it is mostly spoken in English, but part is in Mandarin, and not translated). The other broadcast is broken, with a few words sounding like what one would expect to be Chinese. Both broadcasts and the PL Holotape are not translated. The terminals in O:A are probably written in Mandarin and, when hooked up to the PipBoy, might be translated much better since the external electronic source is written and not spoken. As for verbal sources, the PipBoy may simply pick the sounds up and translate them. Once again, Japanese might not be included in the translation module. --Radnus [[Special:Contributions/81.205.186.16|81.205.186.16]] 18:08, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Can somebody edit the sentence "Another possibility is that the Pip-Boy has a built-in translator, however this may be proven false by Mothership Zeta, where you meet a Japanese samurai who's subtitles aren't translated; although, the Japanese language may not have been considered necessary for translation since at the time the U.S. was at war with China and not Japan" to "Another possibility is that the Pip-Boy has a built-in translator that can convert written and spoken Mandarin. The translator may not be universal as Kago's Japanese is not translated". This sentence has "however" and "although" in one line. It doesnt read away very well. --Radnus [[Special:Contributions/81.205.186.16|81.205.186.16]] 18:09, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Can't say yes or no for sure, as I don't have the PC version, but in another game I have, spawning yourself would result in cloning yourself (skills, appearance, weapons, etc.) however.... if one of these 'clones' would accidentally attack another... every clone would become hostile to the other... hopefully bethesda would've better scripted that out >.> So, essentially, it should create a clone.

Ok, so twice now I've removed an entry in "Behind the scenes" that states that the Lone Wanderer can be considered British-American because of his/her parents' accents. I thought I'd spell out some reasons for my edits.
  
−
*There isn't really an America or a Great Britain in 2277.
  
−
*Given the current state of travel and security in the two hundred years since the Great War, it is unlikely to the point of unbelievability that either parent (or any of their parents) is a recent immigrant from the Isles.
  
−
*There is no in-game mention of the player character's nationality.
  
−
*Without any corroborative info, text, dialogue or anything, the accents remain merely "color," and no conclusions should be drawn from them (no conclusions that belong on an informative article page, that is).

look you, the gender along with choices have no canon, its up to the player and rightly so, otherwise it will be just another good-game-turned-crap game with fixed paths and ending with fake choices such kotor or fable. The reason why there is a male character in trailers and the back of the case is because...what else are they going to use? a blank piece of paper? a 4 multi-racial half-transsexual that is both good and evil? No! its called advertisement. they had to use something, and so they used a pre-created character for screen shots etc. there is no canon in the fallout universe besides the main storyline and characters of the game, choices, gender, age and morality are completely up to the player. end of story same goes for new vegas. why can't people just enjoy the game and its choices without trying to label something canon and ruin it the rest of us, we like the choices, we like the ambiguity of the endings and past and we want it to stay that way. to have something fixed makes having choices absolutely worthless and pointless.

That's why we're saying most likely, not definate. Honestly, you can preach all the player choice crap you want, but at the end of the day there's a cannon. The Vault Dweller was male, The Courier was presumably male and the blonde dude from the ads and the first selection, just...there's a cannon. A loose cannon that allows wiggle room, but a cannon. The FoA still exist, the NCR didn't die out, the BoS didn't become The Steel Plague, The Master didn't rule the world, and is referenced to be dead. Cannon PCs exist, they just leave a lot of room for you to fill in.

But you're probably a dude. F comes before M, so alphabetical doesn't make sense, and the ads have a guy. I'd put money down that you're a guy, possibly going by the name of Albert.

The only canon ever made PC-wise was over the Vault Dweller and Chosen One being male. The Vault Dweller was shown to be male after re-appearing in FO:BoS. The Chosen One was confirmed as male do to a certain ending in Fallout 2 being reiterated upon in FO:NV when traveling through Novac. Neither the Courier nor the Lone Wanderer have a canon gender.

If you ask me FO3 is a partial rehearsal of FO1&2.

I've played through Point Lookout a few times and I get the idea where the wanderer's brain was damaged and that he 'forgets his childhood' (hintingly describing the the gameplay device used to fast-forward through time early in the game). I think its stupid to say though that this ''must'' be a ''fact'', even if its hinted at by one line of dialogue and a name. If so we should add a note about the Wanderer also seeing text of 'eight years later' when he tries to remember, and the fact that everything uptill Point Lookout would be past-tense gameplay (with no clear transition to present-tense), even if the player doesn't have it installed.

I agree with Anon, it does ruin gameplay because when something like choices and paths is left ambiguous then it left up to us to decide what path he or she (wanderer) took (so we can believe or choices matter) But when something is made canon, then only the canon choices matter and have weight which makes all the other choices pointless and for nothing thus it ruins gameplay, fable is a game that suffers from canon, first game was wonderful and all about choice and consequences, then the sequel came along and made all choices(except the good)in the first game utterly pointless because only one path was accepted and the true one, they could have easily left it ambiguous but they did not. Fallout, mass effect and dragon age are smart in that they either leave it ambiguous (so we can decide for ourselves which what fallout 3 and NV does) or allow memory transfer to make choices from previous games matter and affect the current game (dragon age and mass effect) [[Special:Contributions/217.137.157.197|217.137.157.197]] 19:36, May 18, 2012 (UTC)

I want to here what people think. Which character did you enjoy playing as more? The [[Lone Wanderer]] or the [[Courier]]??? please answer!!--[[User:For NCR|For NCR]] 15:18, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

For me, i liked the Courier better, he/she has a shitload more guns to play with.[[User:Kornflakes89|Kornflakes89]] 01:55, March 8, 2012 (UTC)

I dont think the question was about guns but about the character. For me I say the Lone Wanderer. It is the first FO character I played so that may be a reason. Another certain reason is that the Lone Wanderer is played from childhood to young adulthood where as the Courier through dialogues seems to have had experience with the outside world a whole lot longer. In short, the Courier already has a past before you play the character where as the Lone Wanderer needs the player's "help" (sort of) to learn to survive. --[[User:Radnus|Radnus]] ([[User talk:Radnus|talk]]) 14:17, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

The Ripper (GRA) is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Characteristics

This Ripper has been specially designed by the Gun Runners to accept modifications, unlike its standard variant. This customizable weapon is able to deliver even more continuous amounts of damage against its targets. Much like the chainsaw, this tool once used as a weapon can dismember enemy limbs with great ease. With a Sneak of 50 or greater, it is considered animproved holdout weapon.

Special attack

It has a special Long Cut attack that does 50% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 20 fewer action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

Locations

Notes

  • Rippers do more damage in one V.A.T.S. attack than in normal combat.
  • When using the ripper against certain non-human enemies (like giant mantises), red blood will be spilled instead of the intended blood color.
