I don't think they were supposed to be frozen for long. When you wake up, some raiders or someshit are in and steal your baby/kill wife and the vault people are skeletons by now.

So it could have been the effects of multiple cryo freezes over several decades, long-term mental effects or how people react to a drastically different time.

>>315484150
all the vaults being experiments dates back to van buren. it would take hundreds of thousands of vaults to safely house the US population and vault tec was only contracted (by the enclave no less) to build ~122 vaults to conduct experiments for things like the effects of extended isolation. they also made a very convenient resource for humans to use fev on.

that irritates me. it was refreshing as fuck when i found this gem. the game lets you say fuck it and not even go on an adventure at all. the game just ends immediately and lets you know how boring the characters life was from then on even up to his death. and then in the first town you get to you can fucking marry your childhood friend the instant you meet her instead of recruiting her for your party and the game has a whole ending where you get married and have kids and die early leaving her to run the family business. game had like 50 endings. i miss games that had actual choice instead of "keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times"

It's actually fallout's canon story.
The experiments were made so one day they (wealthy people/enclave) could investigate the vaults, research them and then leave the planet so they could colonize another one.

I'm not shitting you.

The vaults being experiments was established in Fallout 2.

Most people weren't expecting an actual nuclear war. They were scared of it like in the Cold War, but no one actually expected the apocalypse. Vault-tech didn't either, but the time was ripe to make some money and perform some social experiments. However, the Enclave and other deep government organizations were pulling the strings and supplying cash and land. The Enclave actually was prepared and expecting a nuclear war, and having those vaults under their control in secret would help with their future plans. For example, they had one vault to test their FEV virus because why not?

And of course, some Vaults were legit with GECKs to colonize the wasteland.

it wouldn't have mattered anyway, vaults themselves were designed so poorly and just about all of them were utter failures as we see throughout the series, either through mechanical failure or the inhabitants going batshit and murdering each other. those that did survive just because isolationists that formed splinter communities that attacked anyone and anything that came near them.

The vault network only exists so that the enclave could gather data on how to recolonize the earth, or colonize another planet of this one was to fuck'd up. Every one could die in the vault network as long as the enclave got their data they didn't care what happened to them. Thus the fuck'd up social experiments, the enclave want'd to know what happens and how to deal with it.

Those weren't the vault breaking down, mechanically or socially. That was the experiment; How they would go, if they would break down in certain ways.

Also, I've heard a theory on /v/ that there nuclear was was kind of incidental, like, they went their full peel with these experiments, and figured they'd carry them out, but that the war wouldn't actually come. I don't think the theory is moored in canon, but it does explain that one tedious little aspect of the Experiment.

nobody did think the war would happen. and besides the country didn't have the money or resources to build half a million vaults even if it wanted to.
>>
>>315483423
This is absolutely correct though. Only 20 vaults were normal. And of those very, very few, who knows who all survived? Also if they did, they'd be more stocked with food and clean water/air. And likely hold way more people, all in government and the like.

Then shit gets patched and/or mods and I go back to enjoying the game. This is the cycle most people on /v/ follow, and have for the past ten years.
>>
>>315485032
Nobody really though nuclear apocalypse was going to happen for real, most vaults that needed any interference were controlled by the vault overseer or were handled autonomously. The enclave had their own command vault that could monitor, control and collect data from the other vaults.

/v/ has disappointed me numerous times before, but not as much as in the present with the shameless and visceral attack on Fallout 4. Why on earth need a bunch of alienated, nihlistic young adults with social maladjustment spend their short, numbered days attacking a video game that fails to live up to their arbitrary standards? Good or not, the ideal game /v/ imagines is unattainable. These people spend their time bemoaning the lack of polish and features to a game that nonetheless be accepted and enjoyed by the vast majority, and push for features that will only be found in their imaginary ideal game. Most of the hairs split by these posters are indeed confined to the realm of fantasy. They see themselves as the arbiter of taste in the medium yet have no experience or qualifications in creating content to justify their insatiable thirst for perfection. Their very bodies tremble at the thought that normal people such as you or I may find fun in something they deem to be so disingenuous and flawed in its nature. What you or I see in good, valuable content to them appears twisted and distorted. Ultimately the posters who so viciously attack games made by passionate people in the industry are channeling their own frustrations at never being given the chance to create the game that lives up to their impossible standards. This, and this alone, is the true reason that /v/ has continued to be a source of insecure, disagreeable young 'gamers', a term I use loosely for these people, in their hatred, have lost the true spirit of what it means to be a gamer in the end....

NO SHIT they're gonna make some vault secret a bit of a big deal. That has ALWAYS been the purpose of the vaults. Only bad news here is we got our "purpose" (thought not entirely) spoiled.

Yes, there is. I'm not going to find it because I'm too lazy, but EVERY vault had a secret purpose. I meant EVERY. Even the vault from the first Fallout had a water purifier designed to fail just so the inhabitants would go out and find a new one.

Fallout 2 wasn't a vault.

3, Vault 101 had a vault where the experiment was basically a utilitarianism kinda thing.

I'm honestly not even sure I'm being spoiled or if this is some bullshit trolling nonsense.

I'm not sure if I should be worried by this or not, but the shitposting has gotten so out of control that at this point, I don't even feel spoiled. I'll have a fun time with this god-awful-Bethesda-tier story I've always expected and nothing can ruin it for me at this point.

Thanks, shitposters. You've re-inspired my hope in the game that I have no doubt I'll have a decent time with. I'm kinda intrigued to see where it goes now that I've heard your stupid "theories".

You realize that if they didn't put that tip in there then there would be millions of dumbasses online that would be saying "LOL WHY ARE ALL VAULTS BROKEN?" That's why it's hamfisted. Bethesda picks and chooses elements of Fallout to "carry on" and doesn't give a flying fuck about anything else. At this point it's not even a Fallout game so much as it is another open world game with Fallout references.

Oh no, anon, unfortunately I've wasted hundreds of hours in that game so believe you me, I'll get to the nitty-gritty when it comes to FO3.

Are you one of those idiots who claim FO3 ruined everything because it had Super Mutants? From what I understand they were for the most part wiped out...

...but that WASN'T your point, was it pal? Your claim was Bethesda just now started caring about vault experiments... which is retarded and wrong. Bethesda didn't just "bring that along" to cater to fans, it's the way it has always been.

I'm not even sure I'm responding to the same autist here or not, but to claim Bethesda just decided to make it canon, or that it wasn't the plan all along, is plain wrong. It has been this way since FO1. Anyone who gave a single shit about the series AT ALL knew there'd be vault-fuckery in this game. It's no surprise to anyone who gave a single shit.

>>315489676
>millions
Not millions, horrid exaggeration. Some for sure. But really in the end all you're blaming is the idiots who decide to get involved in the sixth game of a series and out of no where think that one game should fill them in in all the loops. That shouldn't be on Bethesda... that's a fault of consumers they have to pander to to make money. Such is video games, not their fault.

Not to mention that, 200 years after the bombs fell, the people of the Capital Wasteland are still living in sheet metal huts. Recall that fully functioning city-states had reemerged in California within a century of the war, and civilization by the time Fallout 3 takes place. Also recall that California was hit a few hours before the East Coast.

They should have reversed the roles and made lyon's bos outcasts. I could write a small book with how much is wrong with the story and lore of the game.

In Fallout 3 Bethesda demonstrated a clear lack of understanding of the established Fallout lore. Going into Fallout 4, however, it looks as if they are trying to reverse that trend. Unfortunately, they see fit to do so inorganically in loading screen flavor text.

Dude, anything can happen here. If anything, Fallout has always been proof that ideologies never die, they come back in reformed yet similar ways.

Uh, I don't remember ANYONE in FO1 or FO2 living in some magic paradise, pal. There was constant struggle. There's still tribal people for fuck's sake, horrible argument.

They're not, especially across FO3 and NV. They've clearly splintered and lost their original focus.

Well I guess when you get a huge company involved in a series they can't pander to every nit-picky autist like you and the guy you stupidly praise. Admittedly, I don't like them shortening a storyline, but I understand when it happens for the greater good of an entire game.

Most of the Enclave populous where killed off during the destruction of the oil rig and war with the NCR and Brotherhood. Leaving too little for them to even have a fighting force in the east. Plus there was actually some pretty damn well established places in FO1 and in FO2 it appears that most places got their settlements on the roll to what could be considered paradise. Mind you FO1 doesn't take too long after the war and it seems to be more constructed than the East Coast.

Not saying I liked FO3 but some of those are permissible.

The east coast may be shit because of the conditions the people live under while other plaves have access to more resources, technology and knowledge to rebuild.

The Brotherhood didnt suddenly turn to white knights. Originally a group was sent to the east. This is the group we see in FO3. They decided to start helping people, splinter off from the main group and abandon the ways of the codex. However they still deal with dangerous tech. Some members of said group disagreed and tried to get back to their original mission. Some people within the brotherhood just had different views is all. It would be boring if there were no smaller groups splintering off to pursue their own goals actually. The Eastern Brotherhood is one of the few things FO3 made enjoyable for me.

I assume we are talking about f3 still, because there was no tribal people at all. Also where are the farms? where are the supplies coming from? You can't just live off the ruins of a city for 200 years.

Also this. Why the fuck are there still children in a cave? Where did they come from, because unless they are peter pan beth fucked up hard on this.

The brotherhood you have to admit were 2d as fuck, they literally had a dj jerking their exploits off every 5 mins. Barring that I wish there was more depth with the outcasts. Fallout 3 was far too black and white. fnv kinda fixed this, but ran out of time with the legion

>enclave pack it up
No no no, what I was saying was that it's entirely possible, as far as FO1 and FO2 wanderers know, that there is a stronger east coast Enclave. The west coast could have been an exploration branch. Makes sense after all, spreading from D.C.? I'm simply saying don't call Bethesda lore-rapists for saying that the entirely unmentioned east coast has its own story.

>I'm assuming we are talking about f3 still
No I was directly mentioning FO2, actually, and its beginning.

>children in a cave
Oh come on. There's ALWAYS been explainable shit in the series. They clearly went for some kind of Lord of the Flies type of society, can't blame them for taking an already classic pop culture idea and making it even worse with radiation and mutants.

In FO3, yes, it was annoying they didn't give the player any real reason to disagree with the Brotherhood. That's just poor writing on their part. I agree FO3 made them a bit too black and white, but FO4 is a new part of the world. Still east coast (PROBLEM) but I really hope they're more out of the picture honestly.

I don't remember the east coast Enclave ever saying they're survivors of the west coast but I could be wrong. If you're right, then yes, "Fuck Bethesda" for trying to keep a very dominate and already established force in the game. Oh well, if only I was shilling I'd let them know.

Do you think there were any vaults that celebrated No Clothes Family Day? I think it would've been that vault near Venice Beach.

The writers of the first two games say it was China first, Bethesda kept it vague in three since China is our best friend now, until they said it was actually Aliens.

If they can´t manage to have a dog irrelevant to the story dying, why do you think any character essential to the plot will be able to croak?
>>
>>315491773
well I think the story has some serious problems that are just bad writing. If beth got some not braindead writers they could do so much better. I enjoyed fallout 3, but looking back on it the story really takes a backseat.

This almost makes up for the shitty dialog system and the voiced protagonist

No hey champ, you're not gay. That was my bad. Your standards are on fleek, senpai.

Let me know when you stop jerking off on your figurines and when a someone with no Y chromosome other than your mom compliments that neckbeard, aight champ?

God I hope I'm being trolled.

Fake. Being able to fuck your transgender son would be too weird for normies. Try again later.

I want to play the opening section where I'm a happily married man with a qt devoted 1950s wife and when the bombs fall I will quit and do it again.

And again.

So does he still have his dick or is this where theres some magic sex changing machine?

No major argument here, I don't think was some kind of golden god of writing, I just think anyone who immediately claims its small reasonable stretches in the existing lore, lore that needed updating for a new game, was immediately "rape" and everything it said was "non-canon shit", is a moron.

I agree. FO3 was no masterpiece. I mean someone summed it up nicely in a short greentext and made it sound awful. NV at least went for the more typical FO story and that was fine.

I don't expect any gold from Bethesda, honestly. Not in the main story anyways. I just want some nice side stories and a depthy world. They've been good at that for a while.

>that one vault were there was just one women and the rest were men

imagine being raped all fucking day for the rest of your life

The story of fallout 4

People were kept in cyro sleep as perfect samples while being cloned to test how would each generation react given similar circumstances. The raiders stole your son as you were put back into cyro after being cloned. Turns out the son that was stolen was a clone. Your son later escapes the raiders and leads the slaves in a rebellion. You spend most of the game searching for him. When you finally do, you realise he is dying due to a disease that affects clones and the only way to survive is to give him your perfect dna or some shit but that would mean you would die. So there are two ending, you kill your son or you sacrifice yourself to save your son.

Anon, I'm not sure what happened here. Do you think you've won or something? Have I lost for having realistic, non-virgin expectations?

Please let me know how I'm pathetic, I'm so curious. Your mindset fascinates me.

Come at me you plebian. I am the fucking pinnacle of man, both body and mind. I attend an Ivy league university, completely payed off by scholarships, with the leftover money used to buy myself a luxury vehicle. My grade point average is perfect point O. After I finish my dual bachelors I will be accepted straight away into the doctorate program. I will have two doctorate degree's by age twenty-five, owe zero debts, and make more money a year than you will in a lifetime. The funny thing is, this is the average Fallout 4 player. There are many who far surpass me.

That´s why the rig was the seat of the president of the united states, right?
