It’s always the same with any form of entertainment, be it a video game, film or TV show. If a story is set in a specific world - from a zombie plague to a dystopian dictatorship to a post-Earth human civilisation set in space - people always want to see what happened before.
In Fallout, that's resulted in fans longing for scenes set before the bombs fell, and the introduction to Fallout 4 saw you choose your character’s appearance and SPECIAL stats during a segment set just before the first nukes dropped - but it wasn’t enough.
