Unfortunately, once the game was released last November, players discovered that, from the jump, they’d be paired with an opposite-sex spouse and a baby. Given the series’ progressive bent on LGBT inclusion, gaymers were hopeful that Fallout 4 would continue to expand its cast of gay characters. In the following installments, the series featured gay couples as non-playable characters ( Fallout 3) and even included the option for players to designate their character as gay or lesbian ( Fallout: New Vegas).

Post-apocalyptic role-playing video game series Fallout has been a hit with gaymers since 1998 when Fallout 2 became the first major release to feature same-sex marriage.
