Original Fallout co-creator Tim Cain says 'Critique of capitalism was never the point' of the games and if anything they're about how 'war is inevitable given basic human nature'. https://t.co/HMqJaDBX6z

It always pissed me off since the games barely cared about capitalism if at all.
Even New Vegas didn't just say "capitalism bad socialism good" or blamed one single group or people. House was a capitalist who saved Vegas, the whole Casino DLC was created by a capitalist guy wanting to swoon a girl, the whole bad ghost shit existing because Big Mt forced him to allow their little experiments in exchange for funding, him not knowing much about wtf the shit is.
The series always seemed to be about war and conflict, in pursuit of human ideals. Human ideals will always bring war, will always make men kill each other as long as other men have dreams.
The master was an example of this, his goal being to end conflict by infecting people with FEV since if all people are under one idea war won't exist.
