I’m new to this and have been trying to get Fallout NV to run on my Chromebook Plus. I had Fallout 3 running great but at some point I did something so that FO3 fails to launch.

Can I do something like a fresh install? I don’t care about losing data/ games.

Delete /home/username/.wine directory

Then in terminal run: winecfg

Literally does what you want! You WILL lose anything installed in default prefix, like games/apps, if you didn't make separate prefixes for them.

Edit: Just saw you're running chromebook, the locations might differ. My notes were for Debian/Ubuntu & their flavors.
