#obviously you can break the rules and make your protagonists whatever you want but imo fnv is the only one where you're like

another interesting thing about the courier is that they're like. really the only actual wastelander in this, the postapocalypse wasteland game. 1, 3, 4, and 76 all have vault dweller protagonists, and in 2 the chosen one lives in the highly isolated village of Arroyo. and so because of this, the Courier is kind of the only character you can readily give a past to in the wasteland. also the only one you can easily have being a ghoul/super mutant/other non-human entity. idk i just think they're neat.
