"I am a gamer; I really enjoy taking a break from watching TV and movies. It's work for me, and I really have a hard time turning that brain off when becoming a viewer," Moten tells Game Informer. "I have not played Fallout, but I have watched Twitch streams, you know, I've watched others play it. But, partly, I forbid myself from playing it at this point. It's our job to bring a sense of humanity to these three characters."
