the writing in that game was utterly pathetic.
Bethesdas writing hasn't been their strong suit since Morrowind. Oblivions writing was shocking, Fallout 3 was better but not by much. They then compound this problem by hiring the most god-awful voice actors money can buy (whoever did the Imperials in Oblivion needs to get another job, preferably one where you don't have to speak).

Dear god. I hated nearly everyone in that game. I'm going with Fawkes. I couldn't stand him.
Her dude. Fawkes was a she.
I didn't like Colonel Autumn. Something about his voice and writing, which was going for threatening, just came off as slimy.
Actually, thanks to Vault Wiki, it was disproven, Fawkes was actually put there after Specimen D164, that or someone cocked up in the coding:
"By activating the Terminal by the door of Fawkes room in Vault 87, and using the 'Identify Specimen' function, you will find that the cell's inhabitant is called 'Specimen D164'. A different terminal in a room close to Fawkes' cell contains data on 5 specimen, stating that D164 was a female. After the FEV is introduced to a human they shift into a being with no sexual organs and thus, no gender. However, it is unknown whether Fawkes actually is Specimen D164 or whether he (got) moved into the cell after the original inhabitant had died. In any case, since Bethesda had to identify every NPC's gender (and nongender wasn't an option), Fawkes has been confirmed to be male."
