Nonnel:
The Minutemen+Railroad ending is the most righteous ending
You're helping the people and the synths

Lord Tony®:
I didn't care about that immortal Synth in Rivet City always foiling my thieving attempts like an starfish and I still don't care about synth life in Fallout 4. It's a robot.

At least with NV I could make my own backstory.

To an extent.
You still start off as a loving postman. One that gets executed by like 8 guys, despite being a complete badass who eats Radscorpions for breakfast once you start playing.

Then they gave you even more backstory in Lonesome Road just to drive home the fact that you have always been a postman. And such a dedicated postman that a settlement even started up around your deliveries.

It's a far stufftier and restricting backstory than being a parent/former-lawyer/soldier.
FO3 is better because the only backstory that has anything to do with you is that you have a Dad who left.

Lord Tony®:
A "postman" isn't set in stone like a single parent escaping a vault in search of their son!!!

Was I a good postman? Was I 2 days from retirement? Was I about to quit in 2 weeks for a better job? Was I about to go postal?

I don't know, it's up for me to find out.

This is what makes New Vegas better. You have to figure out your character on your own terms or forget about it and just start a new life in the present. The gun shot to the head basically clears out your memory leaving your backstory up to you, it's not pre determined.

No it's not. When was the last time you played New Vegas?

Fallout 3 you are some kid who is out to look for your dad.

Fallout 4 you are some adult who is out to look for your child.

New Vegas you are some courier who is out to look for answers to your murder with little to go by and now you forgot who you are and are forced to start a new life.

Does it matter that your backstory is that you were a courier your entire life? As far as I know the courier has amnesia and forgets everything so his backstory doesn't even matter.
