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.

Fallout 3: "I have to find my dad."

Fallout 4: "I have to find my son."

Fallout New Vegas: "I'm fuckin' PISSED."

The premise especially lends itself naturally to the player's motivations as well. There's no disconnect between the player's motives and the character's. You got shot. How important that is or isn't is yours to decide wether you beeline to finding the guy or screw around the world instead, it doesn't create an odd disconnect like 4 where the player maybe just wants to explore the world but the character is constantly worrying about their lost son and talking about how they need to find him right away.

I could only do an evil run of FNV if I never meet Boone. He's like the proto Kim Kitsuragi haha

We had a small run as Goblins against our own to-be PCs during a D&D weekend to introduce them to ourselves in an entertaining way. It was pretty fun and I was kinda bummed when I was told to switch from my Goblin to a Human haha

Courier is like "God damn you and also everyone you've ever associated with or passed on the street."
