>vaults were designed to experiment on their dwellersthis would've made sense if the experiments only lasted a few months or years. but for hundreds of years, what was the point?
>>724299210Presequel narrative problems. The pre about Vaults being an experiment was introduced in Fallout 2. That lore was never a thing in Fallout 1
Because originally the plan was to cause a false alarm to drive the test subjects into the Vaults. The real thing came first.
>>724299210This was written for 2, so obviously it had to be as retarded as possible
>>724299210it would make more sense if SOME vaults were experimented on the accord of some vault masters, but en masse by vault tec? Retarded>>724299378yeah fallout 2 is dogshit. Knew that 5 minutes in
>>724299210You tell me.
Weren't they doing the experiments because the enclave or whatever needed the data for colonizing space?
Vault tech makes zero sense in lore. The business model is nonsense and the experiments pointless. The enclave at least makes more sense as the man behind the curtain but they’re inconsistent as well. Even before Bethesda it was all stupid. Overrated setting.
>>724299423After the false alarm ended what did they hope to do? Keep a percentage of the population sequestered? That's a lot more retarded than experiments lasting hundreds of years which makes sense.
Reminder to play fallout sonora
>>724299210Long term tests for a space colony ship design. They assumed Earth will be fucked, so used Vaults as test cases for space colonialization - a lot of them set to fail just to know where the brink for X or Y would be.Vaults weren't meant for rich people either, too little space even for the top of the top 1%.IIRC that's the reasoning from Tim Cain. Though I don't remember if the same conclusion was shared between the original devs. TL;DR Vault's design reason doesn't matter, they're just a backdrop to the game and not meant to be autistically examined. It's like trying to find a reason why specific shit happens in 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim, when the truth is that the devs mainly wanted to fit in as many sci-fi references as possible and everything else is secondary.
>>724299210So you could have wacky dungeons with crazy gimmicks to explore in the gam,e
>>724299210the thing is FO2 designed it in mind with relatively tamer experiments and setups that would make sense for optimal human testing, the same retroactively for 1. it's 3 that expanded on the idea by basically becoming one gigantic sadism farce of insane bullshit.
The real point of the vaults was to torture the survivors for no reason at all.
>>724299378this. the whole retcon does Bethesda levels of damage to the franchise. I don't understand why Fallout 2 is so well liked, sometimes more than the first.
>>7243030583's vaults are clown-tier evil villainy.
>>724299210>but for hundreds of years, what was the point?I have bad news for you about the plane of existence you live in and about a tech CEO who mysteriously died six years ago.
>>724299210first time i heard about vault 77 i thought it said 1 man and a crate of puppies. even after learning its puppets, i still think puppies wouldve been more interesting
>>724302825Pretty much this.The only interesting thing you could do with them narratively is to explore cultures that form around solving certain issues presented by the experiments, but most of the ones listed are just wacky hijinks with no real purpose.
>>724300534>Make believe nuclear war is happening>Lead people to vault>Seal vault>Make them believe the war actually happened>ObserveAre YOU retarded?
>>724306706they did for the profit not some after thought experiments tho
>>724306706And you think the rest of the population wouldn't say anything?
>>724303315As somebody who has modded 1, it's because the first game is a fucking tech demo. Barely any of the stats do anything and it took till 2 to make them do anything.https://drive.google.com/file/d/14YwGjmjhh2cLHLxfWkyeyUEtgiD25aZE/viewhttps://timedwatcher.blogspot.no/2018/12/fallout-1-sex-text-because-sexout-was.htmlRemove the space in blogspot

Twenty men and ten women could totally beat a panther.
>>724307742100% but the comic writer is a limp woke tranny so he doesnt know what real men can do.
>>724306914Why would the rest know? Do you know where every single military bunker is? Or what happens in them? The fucking experiments in the vaults weren't public knowledge. The vaults were a front for the experiments. No wonder everything's shit these days when retards like this can access the internet. Your stupidity ruined my day
