Though again, that is optional dialogue, and it contradicts the Courier saying he/she regrets their mother in the opening tutorial. Plus there is that line with the Lone Drifter about getting a woman pregnant, though we can assume its not hard canon since it only appears if you have a certain perk. Come to think of it, if they let you choose at least some back-story there, perhaps they’ll give the player some input on the Courier's background in TLR. Hell, before the game came out there were rumours that you'd be able to play through multiple back stories for the Courier. It was dismissed by the Devs, and was most likely just a rumour since one potential back-story you could choose was a Ghoulified Chinese spy). Still, perhaps it had a grain of truth, and it would probably be the best choice to suit everyone since people who want the Courier to have a past get what they want, but it wouldn't force anything on people who prefer to role play.
