Forum:Unknown Courier

Hey Everyone, This is my first post, so apologies in advance for any mistakes made. I have a question about FNV, I've noticed a gaping hole in the plot and wondered if any of you knowledgeable people knew how to fill it. When the story starts you are in Goodsprings cemetery being wiped out by Benny, I'm sure you all know the story well, so I won't waffle on, anyway, when you awake, the good doctor patches you up and sends you out into the big bad world, where, apparently, you worked as a courier and this is where the plot hole opens for me, as you step into Goodsprings, no one and I mean NO ONE recognizes you, I would have thought, in my many travels as a courier prior to the attempted assassination that I would have at least delivered one parcel to at least one member of this thriving community but no!, no one seems to know me. It gets worse!, as my travels progress, I run into a gentleman called Johnson Nash, who runs the Mojave Express Courier Service and apparently he gave me the chip to deliver and even HE doesn't recognize me. I know this question has probably been addressed in the forums at some stage already but, to tell the truth, I couldn't be bothered trawling through them but ultimately, it was something to write for my first post! :). Please forgive my total ignorance if I've missed a major obvious point but hey, at least I'll start a discussion!. Thanks Razlo 00:53, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

Start a discussion....or not!, as the case may be!. Razlo 14:48, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

Hey there bud. There is a singer from New Reno that you mention seeing when you were there, so maybe you are new to the Mojave? Also, the doc mentions you got shot in the face and he patched you up which makes it possible to change how you look, but this also might point towards why no one knows who you are. --Bottrot 15:08, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

'Well you are sent from Sunny Vale in California, so you probably haven't been to the Mojave at all until now. Hugs Scar: "Say 'ello to my little friend!" 15:13, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

The thing is, a courier isn't really like your neighborhood mailman who you know and recognize. Couriers travel vast distances and are often discreet. They may deliver a package and not return to the same place for months or even years. Nobody can be expected to recognize a person who casually passed them on the road or sidewalk. The same can be said for why one wouldn't recognize the courier. Epsilon616 15:16, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
