The imagery is made really explicit during the main story when the fascist-supremacist Enclave wipes out the tribal/“indigenous” village you start out in (it’s like colonialism! White people are… Le bad!). Not only that but the Enclave, aka the big bads, are transparent analogs for fascists/evil nazis who’s goal is to eradicate entire swathes of the wasteland because they believe they’re genetically impure. In addition, the leader of the highly advanced and hierarchical Vault City is an intelligent and capable black woman.įurthermore, Fallout 2 was the first western video game to ever feature gay marriage, with the male/female player having the ability to marry a man/woman respectively, if they so choose. The founder of NCR, the biggest civilization in the western United States, is a man with dark brown skin (this was established in FO1 of course, but still, also Tandi appears to be brown in FO1 but her skin has become sallow with age by the events of FO2). IMO yes, if you think about it, FO2 is the first politically “woke” game, on the level of modern day games like The Outer Worlds.
