What We Think

Fallout 76 is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards. Its focus is on quirky post-apocalyptic survival, not lecturing the player. There’s minimal identity politics and cultural subversion, making for a more traditional, open-ended adventure.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Fallout 76 sticks closely to the established Fallout formula, its characters and factions are diverse, but this seems to reflect the post-apocalyptic setting, not forced representation. There’s no major sense that identity politics override storytelling. The absence of heavy-handed social messaging lets players focus on exploration and survival, rather than ideological statements.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The game doesn’t make a point of mocking, subverting, or reimagining tradition, religion, or gender roles. Masculinity, morality, and Americana are largely celebrated or used as world-building. Any tweaks feel more in service to the Fallout dystopia trope than an attempt to undermine cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the game features diverse backgrounds, it avoids turning traditional perspectives into caricatures. Players encounter a wide range of worldviews, with no clear moral high ground mandated by the game. Fallout’s trademark is its moral ambiguity and player agency, not pushing one bland worldview.
