That said there's nothing wrong with headcanon, I like the idea of them being the same character as well. You can even justify the stat reset with the bullet the Courier took.
Good point, which is why the Wanderer requires the help of Doc Mitchell who is clearly stated as a surgeon. He essentially rebuilds your face for God's sake. But yeah, that second statement is kinda hard to argue with.
I feel like this is a pretty valid point. If you want the Courier and the Wanderer to be the same person then they're the same person. Your canon is just as valid as Obsidian's canon and if it makes you enjoy the games more then that's great.
1. Its not a 'controversially debated topic'. In fact, its not even a debated topic.
2. FNV starts 4 years after FO3. Events of the DLC put the Courier in the west at the same time the dude from FO3 is doing his thing.
There simply isn't enough time to get out of the vault, get the FO3 stuff done, and then get to Nevada.
There is, canonically, no way they could be the same person.
TTW gets around that by fiddling with the canon timeline to increase the gap to 10 years.
Regardless, there is no canon material explicitly proving or refuting the plausibility of the wanderer and the courier being the same person. That's why it's headcanon, fan speculation. It's not officially correct in any capacity, but neither has it been officially debunked. What harm does it do to imagine that it is the case either way?
Also, the Courier is not an amnesiac.
It's nice that you think that though.
