Iirc MC (You can choose between the husband or the wife) enters the vault during the intro where China nuclear bombing the US and gets frozen for 200+ years.
That's a better backstory for an NPC than the main.
Beth insists on making every Fallout protagonist a vault dweller because they have no imagination.
It’s a good basic backstory that fits the narrative for a video game, not the worst, but could be better. It should be said that the superior non isometric game is the only one that doesn’t do that though.
The protagonist of Fallout II is a the descendant of the Vault Dweller, but they themselves aren't from a vault. Their first quest is to brave the temple of trials and retrieve the holy vault suit bc Interplay didn't want to re-do all the protagonist animations. The characters in Fallout Tactics are all people recruited by the Midwest Brotherhood. I don't remember if any of them are Vault Dwellers but that's not the default.
Okay good 👍
