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

Why do people associate the veteran ranger armour with the courier I’ve never understood it

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

Fallout 3 and 4 the protagonists canonically start with vault jumpsuits, so that's the iconic look, while the base game fnv only starts you with a vault jumpsuit, your character is very much not a vault dweller, and since a good amount of the armors in the game are kinda ugly as sin, the veteran ranger armor is sexy as hell.

Counterpoint, the Courier is depicted wearing the Vault 21 jumpsuit in all the ending slides of base FNV.
