Walton Goggins, as is well-established, has not played and will not play Fallout. That's absolutely fine—Goggins does a great job playing The Ghoul in the Fallout TV show without familiarity with the game series, and I doubt playing it would make him any better. Still, I hope people keep asking him about it, just because I enjoy hearing his highfalutin, actorly reasons for abstaining when I'm personally damn near certain his real reason is being a 54-year-old man who doesn't play videogames.
But what about Aaron Moten, the actor who plays Maximus and known gamer (he's an Ocarina of Time guy)? Surely he's played Fallout, right? Right?
Not right. In Game Informer's great honkin' oral history of Fallout, Moten said that not only has he "not played Fallout," he's essentially vowed not to. "Partly, I forbid myself from playing it at this point. It's our job to bring a sense of humanity to these three characters."
