What's sad is that this will probably be a show with forced 'equity' - the Vault Dwellers will be bad and privileged because they get the Vaults, while the people on the surface who have to suffer are good and relatable. Watch. They'll make Fallout woke. I promise you.…

I am predicting they're gonna do what they did with Napoleon and make a fun series into stupidly forced modern American political commentary.
buddy have you ever played a fallout game?
Yes. I've played all of them. No, the Fallout games were not a modern American political commentary - touching on themes isn't the same thing at all. I know how Amazon does things. I don't trust them after Rings of Power Trust me. I'll be right.
Fallout was always woke lol. The series was satirizing consumerism and political extremism
Mocking political extremism is literally the opposite of being woke. Why do they think like this?
Truth be told - never thought about it this way
I gotta applaud you, you baited so many people successfully, they still haven't figured it out.
Heh - you get it. I applaud you friend!
What's blud waffling on about
If le workers owned le means of production the Great War would have never happened
Then are you aware it's literally made by a bunch of Marxists?!
Everyone point and laugh buddy thought fallout already wasn't a political commentary of a game

Some guys at Interplay wanted to make an RPG that wasn't fantasy. They thought Mad Max was cool so they wanted to do that. Late in development they thought a 1950s aesthetic would be cool too. That's the politics of Fallout.
I mean ffs this isn't ancient history that we have to speculate about. You can just ask the people who made it.

No, it's based on a short story about a moid and a dog who eat the moid's love interest because they thought it would be funny.

Also war. It's bad. I love when media tells me that, it's a cutting edge commentary I've literally never heard before.

I was thinking the same thing.
Do these people not realise how little the vault company played in the story of the first games.

I've heard that but iirc in an interview with one of the original guys he was adamant that it was really just ripping off Mad Max.
