I don’t really appreciate the anti-literate posturing of this cast. Imagine the cast of Lord of the Rings saying they don’t feel the need to engage with the text. Just rich people doing anti-intellectualism to my eyes.
(I haven’t watched it yet, but I’m a huge fan of the games [well some of the games, just a regular fan of the others… but still the lore is good.])
Tbh there’s some truth in your words, but I can’t help feel that adaption is usually better when made by fans. I suppose as long as the writers and directors are at least fans of whatever OG they’re adapting (in this case fallout, though also ideally it’d be written by like Chris Avellone and others who worked on the actual games), the actors don’t have to be, though it couldn’t hurt.
Though that said, if someone is just right for the job, it doesn’t matter if they’re a fan or not, especially if the director/writers are.
If i remember right, Bethesda often gives their VAs the lines in alphabetical order. Thats why they sometimes sound so out of place. So even in the game they do that. Im an actor and definitely undrrstand Waltons perspective. I do love fallout though
If the fans are happy then they are happy, they dont base success of their job on similarity to the video game.
If you want examples of actors who cared we have both the Halo and Witcher series. While its noble that both leads did everything they could to prevent the show runners from dragging both shows into the ground, neither were successful.
Perhaps if the Fallout series was poorly received, they would consider playing the games so they could attempt to help fix the show.

It’s a video game, they aren’t for everyone.
why? its line reading. they can do it without any context of the story.
