Game starts with getting shot in the head for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, then you get smothered in the middle of a war you have nothing to do with due to being in the wrong place and the wrong time and then floating brains steal your spine, heart and brain.

Then you accidentally nuke a bunch of people.

If Luck is above 3 and intelligence above 4, it doesn't gel.

Yet despite all that, they're still alive. I'd call that lucky.

I'd say surviving a bullet to the head is pretty lucky

The bullet to the head set up a future where the Courier became either a general with a victorious faction, the top lieutenant for a third victorious faction, or the ruler of a faction in their own right.

Small price to pay for any of those outcomes in the Mojave.

The bullet to the head

Two bullets*

set up a future where the Courier became either a general with a victorious faction, the top lieutenant for a third victorious faction, or the ruler of a faction in their own right.

Small price to pay for any of those outcomes in the Mojave.

Assuming Dust doesn't happen, which chaos the Courier becomes an insane murdering lunatic in a cave, full of bitter rage , hatred and regret

Even Benny is confused on how you survived

courier 6 should have a base luck of 12

Oh, and my head canon is that the Courier getting shot effectively reset their stats and drive. Them being lucky after, or intelligent after or super strong after, etc., didn't mean they had those same stats beforehand.

Before that, they were a random courier essentially carrying other peoples' water for a living, obviously just barely scraping by though a later dlc obviously tried to big up them a bit for reasons that only made sense because they were big after the dlc was released.

After, though? They're basically the single-most effective and dynamic player in the entire region.

This.

Also, though dependent on the Courier's actions, could potentially be the most powerful man/woman in the entire Mojave with a whole casino tower mansion as a home with a robot army on his/her side.

I'd say that's pretty damn lucky.
