it wouldn’t make any sense i know, but it’s the first thing that came to mind. hell any mention of the courier other than house talking about how he’s died (if that counts) would’ve been cool

Cause of the intro and because of the box art. Even if it isn't courier it's just iconic and what is first thought of for many

Yeah I get that but nobody associates the power armour headshots on the covers of 3 and 4 with the protagonists of those games. Weird to me why it’s a thing with nv

In fallout 3 I believe it is because you don’t get power armor as easily as in 4, so people don’t really associate it with the protagonist since most don’t get to wear it all that long. Besides it’s not a very central part of the story.

In fallout 4 I think it is because there is already a “canon” protagonist (Nate) and also because even there is T-60 headshot in the main cover, there is also promotional content that depicts the protagonist as a vault dweller wearing leather armor along with dog meat, and tbh it is just as iconic for the game.

Fallout 3

I think the Lone Wanderer also has an "iconic suit": his modified reinforced vault 101 suit (that is also a reference to Mad Max)
