>>8058223>>8058253>>8058758Ok, ragey samefag, I'll bite with some devil's advocate over here.
>What were they adaptingWhat they adapted wasn't Fallout 2. It was Fallout 5. I am aware we aren't at 5 yet. But the fact is that there is a lot of lore out there. Tons of it. So they took the lore, wrote some stuff, got the blessing of Todd Howard, and ran with it. This is the world the next game is going to be in. Rage all you want, it's how things are. People forget how much stupid shit is Fallout ranging from a vault where it's a guy with a ton of puppets to a ghoul that turned into a talking tree and has a cult worshipping him. If anything I think this actually has less stupid weird shit than usual. They didn't want to scare the normies off with the really weird things that are in canon.
>OMG, things that aren't white males!Ok, so they had a few people who aren't white, some females, and one trans guy. Honestly, the fact that they aren't white, cisgender, male, or whatever else is offending your delicate sensibilities is something that could be totally ignored or written out with zero impact on the script. And that's exactly how it should be. They were all generally flawed characters living in a flawed world, not perfect snowflake token characters. And yes, people who aren't white, are gay, trans, ect live in the Fallout universe. It's not a random asspull like in Rings of Power. Here's a list:
