The term "player" in this wiki is used to describe several things, sometimes simultaneously. These possible meanings include:

  • The human who controls the main character of the game.
  • The main character of the game, the Courier or Lone Wanderer.
  • A unique Actor reference which moves with the camera as it is controlled by the human; which carries all the properties and stats; which is the target for all relevant scripts and effects; which has the health, etc that are visible in the UI to represent the main character; and which is the container for the inventory items. Specifically, it is a specialcased instance of an Category:NPC type.
  • A scripting keyword that is effectively a global reference variable that resolves to the Actor reference described above.
