I cant think of an RPG that I've played aside from Skyrim where you/the player character is The Chosen One.

    Baiscally every Fallout. Nearly every protag in the series is the chosen one in some way.

    Vault dweller was chosen by the members of vault 13 to go get the water chip, courier 6 was the one who was supposed to deliver the platinum chip. As for F4, I dunno. And in Fallout 3, the protag is the one supposed to bring their father's project to life.

    I didn't put much thought into it before commenting. This is basically my only rationale.

    I mean, in a literal sense they are the one chosen to do a task for people, but I think it's more meant to be in a cosmic sense, where the universe itself chooses them as the special hero destined to save the world. More like Skyrim or something, where your character is the literal chosen one hero who is the only one who can stop the big scary dragons.

    Being assigned a job isnt the same as being a Chosen One. 1 and New Vegas are the consequences of doing what your boss tells you and 3 was i guess nepotism, I forget how 3 played out. That's just being a protagonist. Being a chosen one requires some sort of prophetic or divine reason, real or imagined.
