Yeah, do it like fallout 2, where you're the chosen one but no one gives a shit or they think you're a lunatic.

Morrowind like this as well. Replaying it and it’s so refreshing

Well, I mean, you kinda are since you are the Nerevar reborn. BUT, its done brilliantly. You are a nobody and the trials to become the Nerevar are subjective. Morrowind would've been better if you weren't Azura's champion, but outside of that. I do agree, that it's brilliantly done. You have to EARN the right to become Nerevar reborn.

Whether you are Nerevar Reborn is kept unclear.

You are guy who met all the requirements, out of some 8 previous dudes who didn't.

Not even Dagoth Ur is sure, he treats you as one because of the prophecy, but in the very second dialogue he asks you if you truly are, meaning he doesn't know

By the time you get to Dagoth Ur, it doesn't really matter if you are or not. You've (probably) been acting like you are the Nerevarine, and that's what matters.

You MAY be the Nerevarine - that is made clear through the course of completing the Seven Trials. You even learn about the False Incarnates, people who competed none or some of the trials.

It’s a clever bit of writing.
