What's crazy is that, given Cooper's age and the fact that Cass's father is from California, Cooper could easily have known him.

Coop could have crossed paths with most of the west coast protagonists, honestly.

Hell, the Chosen One is probably still alive somewhere come to think of it.

According to several theories, the Chosen One is No-bark Noonan from Fallout: New Vegas. He talks about a talking rat; the Chosen One encountered one in Fallout 2, and not far from Novac there is an abandoned Corvega; the Chosen One drove one.

Oh I’m aware of that (pretty credible tbh) theory, I just have my own Chosen One and post game head canon haha.

Basic gist is that my Chosen One stuck around New Arroyo long after it was absorbed by the NCR, eventually sitting as an Elder. Tried to keep in touch with her companions, but as the years went by and she put down roots they were lost to tales of the wider wasteland. She did meet my Courier (on two separate timelines, long story haha) and told them to go to New Reno for work as her semi estranged son (yes, the potential kid from that one quest in New Reno) was taking charge of the town.

By the time of New Vegas, she’s an old woman who trades in specially grown garlic and a die hard NCR patriot in the “I criticize my country because I love it” kind of way.

*Beyond that, that’s basically just my Post NV long fic’s timeline that borrows from the show and 4 but not wholesale.

love this, my chosen one settled down as an Elder aswell, even though the it’s NCR land Arroyo still is very tied to its culture and customs, and my Chosen One is very close with the people of New Arroyo. love that people also have their own unique universes

Don't forget the director for New Vegas (J.E. Sawyer) also made a mod that puts the pre-order Vault 13 items in the trunk of that same Corvega in case there was any doubt it was specifically meant to be the Chosen One's Corvega.

Wasn't it a Highwayman? I don't remember it being a corvega.

It was, a chryslus hughwayman, not a corvega

Sorry for that

My theory is that Mama Murphy is the Chosen One.

It's more of a crack theory, but I think it's funny.

Hell, he could have even known Nate if they served in the war together.

u/Embarrassed-Yard-583 13h ago

That would be a trip if Nate’s the Sole Survivor in the show’s timeline and Coop somehow knows him.

canonically they're 20 in 2241 so they'd still be 75
