- Fallout 4 is a game that left players asking many questions, however what may be the Fallout universe's biggest mystery is why the Great Conflict began in the first place and who started it. While there are various obvious suspects, today we'll explain why it was more than likely Vault-Tec which created the catalyst for this series and Vault-Tec is far more suspicious than the Fallout games have led anyone to believe. Sit back and relax as we break down the weirdest company in Fallout to this day.

The absolute visionary! lol
Yep the show proved you right ! Congrats man
An interesting video without a doubt, but I hate to put a bit of a crimp in it. Bethesda is just very lazy when making things at times. All of the white labs coats, outside of the one that is Arktos labs, are vault tech logo coats. Just like with the Pitt raid zone, instead of using the steel worker outfit and helmet, they use the miner outfits instead. You could be correct, but I think in those cases it was just lazy or rushed by Bethesda.
But not just Vault Tec but all the big corporations of Fallout were in on it. A false flag operation to cause the end of the world to create a massive take over of post war America. Bastards.
Step 1: build nuclear shelters
Step 2: start a nuclear war
Step 3: ???
Step 4: profit?
You would know a few things about profit Dallas
Nah its
1 : build nuclear shelters
2 : profit
3 : start nuclear war
4 : ?????????
I hope they paid them in caps
Step 1: build nuclear shelters
Step 2: start nuclear war
Step 3: do unspeakable things to your dwellers
Step 4: survivors create a new currency deaming all money made from vaults mean nothing

The vault tec salesman didnt know anything. He was just trying to win a set of steak knives.
My man never got his steak knives 😔
@@lemoncardboard4877 oh he got his knives in my playthrough

...THAT'S WHAT A VAULT-TEC EXECUTIVE WOULD SAY
@@jameslilly3750 Like, you gave him knives orr did you stab him with knives and left them there?
AND THEY CALLED U A MADMAN
And it still is a theory. In the series they don’t explicitly show who pressed the button, if the wife of copper had any control her daughter wouldn’t be at the surface when the bombs dropped, also they never show any actual power of control from the companies… and a company cannot overtake s country like that, there’s a dialogue from the news that said something like USA relations w i forgot are breaking up.
Also in the games we see varieties of bombs, in the games multiple were dropped (in the show too) in the game and show we have vault tec being involved in experiments w the vaults and wanting/planning on the bombs BUT in the games and show are both ambiguous as in the games there’s multiple sides who bombed / wanted to and planned to (including aliens) and in the show they show the pawns plotting but they don’t show if they were the ones pressing the button or if the queens made their moves
@@saulgundam did you even read or you’re just a brainless kid?
Also frank, ignore my comment if u want, but someone made a video about people misunderstanding/monster interpreting the slates (timeline) of shady sands meaning that each box means something, after the fall (2277) some years later it went DOWN. I would take it as true as some people still needed help with some stuff that the series leave clear (The "Cinephile Kristoff as example and many others so called Fo fans that reviewed the series)
@TotallyNotKanye that's MAD though. If one side gets hit its launching everything and then the other side is doing the same and it's armageddon.

"That seems fair, but what are we testing?"

So Jeff Dunham lol
Was his name Fred Rogers?
Funnily enough this resembles in part a real life experiment that was done by Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II in the 13th century. It was to raise the children with minimal to 0 human contact until they were grown enough, So they could determine what language they would speak without having been raised around people who spoke or communicated in any way. They also weren't allowed to touch them for any longer than was entirely necessary.
The experiment ended when, even tho all the children were fed, kept free of disease, and given all things needed for life. All the children died because of lack of human interaction.
PS: Take this with a grain of salt as we don't really have a whole lot of evidence for this experiment's results and obviously its never been replicated to confirm the findings, although other similar experiments have been done there were too many other variables that changes too make them good comparisons
What happens to human in total isolation
When the vault rep was talking, the script didnt say “speaks confidently”, it said “speaks confidentially” which means that whet he was saying was something he didn’t want others to hear.

So I noticed that you said it was a big coincidence that the vault tec salesman from Fallout 4 just so happened to tell your family that you have access to the vault the soon before the bomb went off however an earlier voiceline by Nate or Nora (depending on who you play as) they will say that the salesman rep has been coming around for a couple of days and asking for you. Therefore, it wasn't a big coincidence. Our character was just ignoring the rep until the player took control for the intro.

Bro you literally solved it 3 years a whole 3 years ago. The show just came out and confirmed it!
It's crazy, just saw it
What if a writer saw this and integrated it?
Well the idea has been around in the fandom for forever. But yeah after I finished the show I had to come here.
Sadly. Most hamfisted shit I've seen. The show had such promise till that bullshit
@@nuarBlack bro what are you smoking? That reveal went crazy
@@ButtersPringles no it doesn't. It's a 17 year old Starbucks barrista level of understanding of capitalism there with their talk of profit and shit. The whole plot about the enclave and vault-tec being in bed together isn't bad. The shows portrayal of an Austin powers villain type meeting about how this is going to have such good pay-offs is atrocious. Capitalists have never been the malthusians. It's terrible writing.
I always assumed the time between signing up for the Vault and the bombs dropping was like Skyrim’s map. Compressed for the sake of gameplay.
Well yeh but we still gotta try to make narrative sense of it.
They did say that we would spend some time around the area before the bombs fell and would miss it heavily before fallout 4 was released, suggesting there was cut content in that area
if you notice, it didnt even matter that you were signed up. the guy lets you into the vault because you were a family with one male, one female, and one child.
@@forsakenstranger2282 I think it was that you were signed up, but he was just double checking your familial status to confirm.
@@sunago ,
Makes sense, meet the neighbors long enough to build a tiny bit of rapport and get a good look at the town Concord pre-bomb. We would get to see a lot of the 'Americanism' play out so we know what everything was like before the bombs fell, as our characters would have. Likely get viewed as a hero and celebrated down the streets, concluding by giving the speech at the Veteran's Hall.
Probably half way through we get informed that bomb have been launched and are spirited away to the site....
I guess the real catalyst for the nuclear war was the friends we made along the way.
No, no, no...I thought it's that love transcends space and time as a multiversal constant
Friendship is magic!
no no it was not shut up
Thanks for sharing!
Yes it was. Do not deny friendship
After finishing the new fallout series all I can say is you were right, vault tech started everything
Since the comment starts with a "sorta spoiler", I'll openly comment as well: What got me even more shocked was that if I picked it up right there was general "peace talk" mood and it stalling, or having been sabotaged, ultimately with bombs dropping.
It shows to me that the warring factions (US, China, etc) were sort of actually ready to put the wars aside and technology like Cold Fusion that was sabotaged by VT actually showed there was a clear map ahead for progress and less dependencies.

Well if you do enough digging in the games you will find the truth of Vault-Tec. They revealed it in the games multiple times that Vault-Tec was behind the bombs.
Edit: That sounded like im butthurt or upset that not many knew this before hand. I should also add that the games have the information somewhat hidden in places that most people wouldnt even think to loot.

@@Bizz4r2m0ke Seems to be the consensus with most Fallout Fans... MOST of them...
“How did vault tech get their hands on a nuke?”
*everything in fallout powered by nuclear reactors*
But you’d need uranium and lead. Also to build it you’d need concentrate on megatone and 100 mil cooking oil and 2 tea spoons of suga pour carefully with 2 eggs in the middle stir well.
Actually they created a really angry kid and named him atom and he turned into a atom bomb flew dropped, got angry and exploded...
@@SHADOW-0-2 holy shit make your own fallout theories channel
Nuclear reactors are *nothing* like a nuclear weapon.
Mh
As a salesman most my life I can confidently say the vault-tecs salesmans whole speech was 100% a script. As a salesman a lot of your training is script training where you memorize a script and then several scripts that deal with any objections. As you get better at it you can make it more humanized and not so robotic. The way he talks and his nervous mannerisms show that he is a novice salesperson and in no way in the know of vault-tecs grand plans.
Well he didnt get in the vault when you enter it, you can see him getting rejected at the gate making it obvious he was just a puppet
Well its a video game...all of it is scripted
How many times u gonna say "as a salesman" before someone asks if your trying to act like your a salesman. Idk bout your story but anyone making money in sales isn't going around typing "as a salesman" in TH-cam comments
@@aaronward5194 Weird hill for you to die on, but okay. 8 years personal training as a salesman, 1 years residential home sales as a salesman, and currently refinance and loan for the last year as a salesman. If someone using a phrase twice upsets you; you should talk to someone or avoid working in sales. You know, as a salesman because repetitive sayings happen a lot as a salesman.
@@kennymoore8568 He's referring to real life. Of course its scripted in-game but if a salesman like that walked up to my house and talks to me like that, I wouldn't buy anything he offers me
I remember watching this video during the pandemic. I'm so happy to see it aged like fine wine.
Always thought it was weird that vault tech was just gone after the bombs dropped, like if anyone would survive it'd be the bunker builders
thats a solid insight...then again maybe they're like the boomers/enclave and just are living a quiet good life somewhere with lush vault22 style forest around them in a mountain basin. if they are anywhere... it's a LOOOOONG WAY AWAY from anyplace that would make a good story about war and survival and mutant abominations and trading bottlecaps for radaway

I'm really late, but the Cabot family in Fallout 4 had a device they claimed was found in the remains of a previous "alien" civilization. Maybe the alien life that Vault-Tec was in contact with is the same that had built those cities?

You skipped over new Vegas, but you missed something interesting:
Mr. House's endgame for Vegas is that he wants to get humanity offworld, establishing colonies on the moon and Mars, and then beyond. Vault Tec and the enclave are not the only ones looking to the stars for salvation
I mean Ofcourse, the man who owns robcorp and half the new Vegas strip, would want to expand his field of sales
A war memorial in a museum also mentions a conflict on the Sea of Tranquility, on the moon. With a picture on an astronaut with what looks like some kind of laser weapon.
So it looks like there was at least one moon colony, presumably mining Helium 3 for fusion power.
@@richardiv385 that was a retcon and only appeared doe the first time in Fo4. Bethesda pulled that out of nowhere, we can only speculate. Theres no accounts of pre war space colonies
you know black mountain and the terminals?
the terminal I just went into is saying the Chinese shot first which would support him but its eh or its at least saying there was missiles in the air
The issue with NV is that the story is too open to decide whats canon and whats not post Courier 6 interference. But I guess anything that didnt require player interaction (like NCRs history) can be considered canon.
Damn this guy was ahead of his time. Show came out and confirmed everything he said
WOW the new show literally confirms it. I could not stop thinking about this video when watching it.
Well it doesn’t *literally* confirm it, but it does make it very likely. The show confirmed that vault-tec were willing to start the war, and likely had plans in place.
"I don't get why they would print their logos on the actual bombs, that just seems really dumb."
I suspect it was because they expected them all to detonate.
Or because that isn't even their logo in the first place. The Vault Tec logo is a completely different symbol from the one on the bomb. It takes less than five minutes to look up the symbol on the bomb and the Vault Tec logo to compare them. Similar, but undeniably very different.
@@Osibis6 yeah, though arguably the one on the bomb is smaller and pixelated, 20 bucks says it's not vault-tec
And for no one seeing a falling bomb to survive.
@@Osibis6
Idk what surprises me more. That they bothered to put a logo on the bombs at all, or that Bethesda DIDNT reuse assets and just use the same logo. Holy shit. That bring back memories. Guys, remember when Bethesda wasn't lazy as shit? It feels like such a faraway time.
crimsonking440 you say “they” like it was a company effort to decide to put a logo on it or not, when it’s much more likely it was just put on there by the person who made the texture for the bomb because they thought it looked cool or to mark the work they did, a signature not of the in-universe agents that dropped the bombs, but an IRL signature of the digital bombs creator
"was there a central monitoring vault or something?"
....yes.... there was. It got destroyed when the nukes hit. This is literally why no all clear signal was given to any of the vaults. This has been stated multiple times.
2 isn't canon outside of specific events that are mentioned in canonical games
@@IJNAzooma Fallout 2 isn't cannon? Why?
It’s a fallout game that isn’t on mobile or is a spin-off (I don’t consider tactics canon)
@@IJNAzooma Every piece of Fallout 2 is canon. It's not a debate.
@@J.D.Hardesty 2 isn't canon because 1 and 2 are a paradox
I was completely convinced from the start of fallout 4 (my first fallout game) that vault tec did it because of just how convinent the timing was.
Vault 77 did actually have an experiment beyond “let’s have a lone guy and a crate of puppets.” It was isolation. How long would someone last in a large vault meant for 1-2000 people all on their own. What would they do, how would they behave. How insane would they become.
When you think about it, it was actually pretty disturbing. Not as disturbing as 10 men, 12 women, and a panther, but still.
Yeah, actually that makes a lot of sense when you think about it from the Tim Cain generation ship angle. Basically any generation ship would definitely have cryogenically preserved Enclave members hidden in it. They'd be the intended leadership caste with all of the generation ship people only reproducing in space to ensure a supply of labor for the Enclave bigwigs to colonize whatever planet they land on. But what if almost all of them died? What if there was only ONE laborer left? Could the Enclavesicles trust them to maintain the ship alone? Would they go insane? Would additional people need to be unfrozen to refill the labor pool? Would a supply of entertainment items be sufficient to stave off their mental collapse? All things that would have to be known.
That's doable, as long as you figure out how to feed the cat.
I have lived almost my whole adult life alone and under siege to some extent. I survived and flourished. I would definitely do well in a huge technical environment meant for 2000 people all to myself.
When I run out of entertainment I create it by writing or constructing.
A pet would probably be nice but I haven't acquired one to this point and I am in my late sixties.
Maybe not necessary.

You're so spot on that it feels like Jonathan Nolan watched this before writing the Amazon series lol. I haven't played FO3 in so long that I don't remember the story anymore, but that Vault Tec logo on the Megaton bomb is like icing on the cake after Vault Tec's destruction of Shady Sands.
Who else is here after they confirmed it in the final episode of season 1 🤚🤚
stupid.
To be fair they didn't confirm it. They just implied that it was their plan. We don't know for sure if they actually did it
The show is good so far
I can't believe fawks is in it
lol just saw it last night
Vault Tec had its first big break after the fear created by the limited nuclear exchange between Europe and the middle East. So I always imagined that maybe vault Tec intended to replicate another small nuclear exchange in order to boost fear and sales but unfortunately it went too far and the great war started.
That's probably the best explanation for this, why would they intentionally start the great war when some of their vaults haven't been completed.
@@shrimpy_nazeem iirc they were on the verge of bankruptcy. This would've totally cut their losses in a way or the small scale exchange at least would've done similar and even shown that their vaults protected people but you'd think if it were a small scale exchange why would the Vaults stay locked up forever to do their experiments. The Great War was the perfect cover up.
Seems like the most realistic action made by a big buisness
Never thought of this and makes total sense
Top 10 pranks that went way too far.
"I don't get why they' d print their logos on the actual bombs..." Well, they are a corporation, and there's no such thing as bad publicity.
Very true, what better publicity can you get when slapping your company's logo on an atomic warhead that could kill millions in a certain radius and participate in the end of the world and mankind as we know it?
@@jakethunderbird8735 It's a bomb.
Specifically... a *nuclear bomb.*
Underrated comment
Well, it’s not like anyone will see it if it works
Bethesda sure knows that
If I remember correctly the bomb at the center of Megaton hit the ground while still inside the bomber it was housed inside. One of the old ladies in Megaton talked about how her ancestor and some other survivors built Megaton using the remains of the bomber and aircraft from a nearby airport. She also said that many aircraft fell from the sky when the bombs fell, likely due to all the EMP pulses. So i think vault-tec was likely involved in the production of nuclear weapons at least in some part. After all they had fission and fusion reactor built for the vaults to my knowledge. So i don't think it could be such a stretch for vault-tec or the enclave to obtain a nuclear weapon. There's also the possibility that the enclave used one of their super computers to feign a Chinese nuclear attack in some way or remotely launch a US nuke at China or a target in the US and blame it on a Chinese submarine. All kinds of possibilities.
This is all going off memory from years ago so i could be a little off.
3 years later guy was right lol
Kinda crazy
That was just the Vault-Tec Rep being a good salesman. He's trying to impart a sense of urgency onto his customer (you) to convince them they have to buy his product NOW. He does mention he has years of sales experience. He probably does that for every person who's door he knocks on.
I also don't think that him arriving the day the bombs drop to be that big of a coincidence. Your spouse does mention that he's been showing up every few days looking for you and that October 23 was just the day he finally happened to catch you.
Underrated comment
That makes a lot of sense. Even more so considering that if Vault Tec actually wanted this particular person (you) and his or her child for their experiments, then they would have been _way_ more purposeful. Saving those people literally in the second the bombs drop would have been way to risky and the chances to actually lose their targets would have been _way_ too high.
.
In case they would have actually targeted the player character and his/her child, then they would have made sure to convince their targets and bring them into the vault quite some time before the bombs began to fall _or,_ in case he/she would have refused, simply abducted them.
So it seems like the protagonist arriving there and accepting just before the bombs dropped was the coincidence. Connections to the enclave maybe.
Agreed it's like how insurance sales men will tell you everything that might happen to you and why you definitely need there insurance and used the things like you are 75% more likely to hurt yourself in your own home. Don't know why people would think vault tech would be telling every sale rep there master plan.
He didn't know the true nature though, as we saw, He's an important part of vault tec but still he was refused entry
"Why they would print their logos on a nuclear bomb" - Because it's a nuclear bomb, it would be the end of the world, why not put your logo on it?
What if it failed to go kaboom though? Someone would come check it and realize, "hey, this is Vault-Tec equipment!"
And before anyone tries, you can't convince me no one would get close to an unexploded nuke, specially in Fallout. Those morons literally built a city around it.
@@commietearsdrinker Yes, but by the time they did that, it'd be too late to reprimand Vault-Tech in any meaningful manner, unless literally every bomb failed to detonate and both sides didn't launch their own nukes at just the radar pointing that the birds are in the air
Pretty sure they intended there to be no evidence left, which for a sicko like them, would make it that much more appealing to put your label on it. "Yeah I did it, but you will never know"
im pretty sure ICBMs have the flags of their country of origin on them today in the real world.
why?
im assuming the answer is the same for both, but i have no idea what it is.
That’s why I blow them up
8:22 he wasn't speaking confidently, he was speaking confidentially. Still, its implied he had insider info about the bombs unless that was part of his sales tactic.
Really took “Start a problem sell a solution “ to another level
Sooo.... Outerworlds is essentially what would've happened if The Enclave did succeed in space travel and terraforming?
Something tells me that it was the plan all along, they just changed the names and repurposed the lore
Well, since Outer world has mega corporations in control it seems more likely that vault tech was behind it
Obsidoes what Bethesdon't
Yeah, knowing the enclave, that would also probably make the worst ending (imo, best ending) canon :p
New Vegas actually connects the lore to Outer Worlds. Talks about how one guy bought an entire city for himself or something in space (one of the endings in outer worlds)
You actually find out the war was started when general zao a man in a yangza aka chinese sub fired first after a misunderstood call over their radio in fallout 4
More people need to see and hear out your comment
Yangzte
Thank you buckeye
And yes zangzte my bad
If this is true, it's pretty unbelievable. Nuclear launch orders are designed to be incredibly clear and concise. Leaders are definitely noticed on launch of a suspected nuclear missile launch, at which point verification begins. You have quite some time to verify and intercept. While this verification is happening, the leader is then formulating a response if the missile turns out to be nuclear. The response is almost certainly interception - preferably above the ocean in near orbit so the resulting EMP does minimal damage, but you also then have to worry about the nuclear fallout which will be even more dispersed across the world. This is another reason nuclear launches are such a last ditch effort because the entire world is going to blame the launcher for the radioactive atmosphere and any EMP damage; they're not going to blame the country defending itself.
Vault-tec causing the nuclear war, however, makes a lot more stance. If there's one thing any company wants, it's more money. The best way to secure more money is through securing more power as they're practically the same thing. Build a shelter from the government's weapons and encourage mutual destruction while you wait out the literal fallout. Then rise from the ashes with your advanced technology and weapons and produce an economy based entirely out of your pocket and start corporate feudalism with the board being the one controlling all resources.
This aged well
Funny coming back to this video after the Fallout Tv series
I've always assumed that Vault-Tec still existed in some form. They seem too shadowey and influential to completely disappear
Yeah always thought that too, that's why I finally want to see them again haha
That's actually giving too much credit to the capitalist corporate structure. One hand barely ever knows what the other is doing. . driven purely by profit and making construction contracts based on the lowest bidder.

@@OldJerzyDevil tbf, they were more of a cabal who used corporate to an end, I guess that's why their disapprence seems off.
@Dom Clarke I mean I don't think so, because voltec would be to proud of changing their name, design.

That would be my opinion/guess.

Watching this video after the season 1 of the show is just crazy
Bro I remember this video from when you made it, all the people talking about how the show was completely new info and I was confused why it wasn't new info for me. Spent 3 days searching for this video before finally finding it again!
Tim Curry, President of the Enclave: "I'm escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by communism! *_SPACE!_* "
As a sci-fi nerd I'd love to see a return to this concept. Fallout 5 analogue for Mothership Zeta/Old World Blues? Please god Bethesda, I'm begging you.
Oh gosh the "SPACE!!" line. That's a reference and a half.

They’re making a series with the IP so it could definitely be a plot in that

How can I sleep, you just released a new video?
Never
Im a WIDE awake boy!!
No
This was one of my favorite lore videos from you Nate, and the fact that you were spot on is crazy😂 Props to you!🎉
I always need to come back to these videos to keep my lore in check on some of the great games. And I remember seeing that nuke for the first time then playing through that first day was amazing it’s never the same the first time, nothing is.
16:07 hey Nate, I think the audio got messed up- there’s no sound. Update: There’s also a black screen at 38:02 that lasts for a bit. Not sure if they’re bugs or features, but since it’s a Bethesda video I’m assuming the answer is yes
I noticed that too
Think at 16 he was tryna figure out the script before he continued on
Why does it say one reply
caitlin spry maybe, but if that’s the case the pause probably should’ve been edited out in post. My guess is some audio and visuals got mixed around- the clip without sound and the sound without visuals are roughly the same length
Don't worry, it just "works"
Hold up, that means fallout 2 takes place in the same time period that Shawn is kidnapped in vault 111, right?

Well this video aged like a fine wine.
I watched this years ago, but the TV series really backed this up. Well done good sir.
We meet the valt tec guy afterwards as a ghoul, he didn't really know anything, it was just something they told him to tell people, most likely.
Keep the right hand from knowing what the left is doing, and soon unspeakable horrors build themselves.
Yup just a pawn poor dude
He read the word wrong anyway. It says confidentially, not confidently.
The vault Tec rep actually was convinced he was allowed to enter vault 111... which is where we see him right before entering the gate ourselves...
This may imply that he knew and was told "sure you're safe just go to the gate and say you're vault Tec"
But again that's just how I always thought of it :)
@@Mr3ppozz I believe, just as everyone in the world usually, that he didn't really think anything would happen. So since he was there, close to 111, he just ran towards it in a desperate attempt to enter it by saying he works in the company so he should have a slot in it. I mean, he was just a salesman, it wouldn't be normal for a salesman to know the dangers and secrets of a nuclear fallout. But you know, doesn't really matter, we can theorize for hours xD
8:29 It says "confidentially" not "confidently", which implies secrecy rather than boldness.
I noticed that myself

I love that vault 81 ended up being a mostly normal vault because the people in charge of the secret stuff screwed up and all died. [edit] I also love the fact that the Vault Tec Rep really sounds like he knows what is coming.
At least he tried to help us..
No actually, vault 81 worked because the overseer sealed the vault tech scientists in the walls and they couldn’t do what they planned so died stuck in there
And he was denied at the gate to the valt
How does he sound like that. Trough is mannerisms that he is a total noob as an sales man that is just trying to sell shit. Because he did that only to gain steak knifes.
Because he was using a sales tactic to try and get you to sign up for the vault. The bombs dropping soon after was a coincidence.
Bethesda needs to put you in the show as a wild ghoul constantly warning everyone that vault tec dropped the bombs, and then have everyone write you off as a crazy person.
This video actually aged pretty well
In Megaton, it is specifically mentioned that bomb wasn't dropped. Just left over from a dismantled bomber they cannibalized for the early town.

I love how "Heck in a hand basket" is the only thing in the game that someone says excuse my language it shows the difference between post-war and pre-war America
I doubt that Vault Tec guy is representative for the majority of people at the time
he said excuse my language because after that he started talking about the "big kaboom". maybe it's just courtesy to say pardon me for talking about the imminent disaster that's going to happen within the next year (or hour).
I think he representatives a vast majority of Americans in pre-war America. Not all but most people.

@@nolifenerd2750 woah there, your acting very comunist right there so cease it immediately.
What people struggle to understand is that in the show they say “because we’re going to drop the bomb ourselves” single bomb. Which bomb would it be probably the one in megaton with the scuffed vault tech logo. Imagine in pure irony the bomb they dropped to get all the other countries to drop theirs didn’t even go off and it was a dud. Now that would be a fallout moment
More likely than not they dropped multiple of them from space
You were right
It's funny how most of the control vaults we know of ended up going to hell in one way or another, yet some of the vaults that seemed on paper like a recipe for disaster ended up being some of the most successful. Vault 15, for instance.
And vault 81

"The enclave has been kidnapping people and experimenting on them"
"Cough cough institute cough cough, I must have a cold."
The Institute was formed by pre-war CIT scientist who survived the bombs. The enclave were formed from the remains of the militairy, or perhaps even the pre War militairy
@@HaugeBauge IIRC the enclave was formed from pre war government and higher military. The enclave was actually formed prewar as well.
Mate, you might wanna get checked for CoVID.
I wonder if the institute has any ties to them
no the institute doesn’t have any ties to the pre war government or the enclave. they’re just the descendant of people who survived the bombs by hiding in CIT’s basement
I came back to this video just to tell u where right. But I've seen u updated
4:05 This is the thing that has always bothered me about the vault experiments.
Thank you for talking about this, lol!
It said "Speak ConfidENTIALLY" not "confidently"
I was just about to say that lol it changes the whole tone a bit
Glad somebody else caught that. I was unsure and not a 100% on what I was reading at first. Lol!
Eh to be fair it still makes sense with either word, if he was confident then he would've known more than he should've and if it was confidentially then he still shouldn't have been telling us that. You can still argue that they do it for extra sales but at least this entire video isn't based on some misunderstanding of one word
I'm glad I'm not the only one that caught that. You wouldn't lower your voice to speak "confidently", you would raise it. But you would lower it to speak "confidentially" since you're passing on sensitive information. It's an easy enough mistake to make, but one that can also be avoided with careful reading. The same conclusion can be reached both ways, either by confidently declaring that the end is nigh, or by confidentially passing that info along, but there is a distinction. If the Vault Tec Rep knew the end was coming, it wouldn't make sense for him to be raising his voice during his pitch and scaring anyone within earshot into a panic, since he likely knew there was limited space in Vault 111. But it would make sense for him to subtly hint at imminent danger to try to get Nate/Nora to agree to join the Vault.

Yes they did! It was also confirmed in the Fallout series, season 1!
I just started a replay of Fallout 4. When rebuilding Kellogg's memories in the Memory Den. He continually refers to " the old man" and this "old man's" plan and how it always goes well, and his plans are the long game. I always assumed he was speaking of Shaun. However, I noticed this play through that Kellogg, refers to "the old man" and his plan when Kellogg is taking Shaun as a baby. I think there are 2 "old men". 1 being Shaun, and 1 being someone who came before, and with a long term goal/ experiment. They kill an entire vault full of frozen non-contaminated people?????? I am not a geneticist but I would think having multiple DNA's would be optimal. I believe Fallout 4 and Fallout 3 are experiments by Vault Tech. What happens when you release a Vault Dweller??? What happens when you introduce specific emotional stresses??? Vault Tech are Aliens Experimenting on us. Thank you for reading my Tin Foil Theory.
Melanie Wilson that takes place centuries after the war. And the person who was the director was also a old man.
GreenEyedKitty fallout NV is a simulation, aswell as fallout 3 iirc
🔊
The old man they refer to is the man we meet in FO3. Quest name: The Replicated Man. Dr. Zimmer aka "The Old Man."
@@PugilistCactus Do we know that for sure, though? He was head of the SRB and it doesn't really seem like their business to go steal a baby to help MAKE synths
BTW, just realized you didn't cover "Fallout Tactics" - where there is a Vault Zero that was the communication center and data collection point for all of the vaults.
Tactics isn't canon
@@loserinasuit7880 Actually, the major events ARE canon, while most of the minor ones aren't. Fallout 3 talks about how the DC Brotherhood were actually supposed to re-establish contact with the Chicago group but overshot them and ended up mired in combat, so at the very least the existence of the Chicago BoS chapter is canon. Some of the other events were as well, ones mentioned in later games, but what isn't canon are basically any events that contradict mainline games in the series.
@@DrakeSteele only the major faction is canon, the rest was deleted. Good thing if you ask me. FNV, 3 and 4 makes sense for a Midwest BoS. But for sure that is another BoS faction almost destroyed and if Caesar words are true the Midwest BoS scribes didn't even know who create the BoS, so maybe is a completely new faction.
@@loserinasuit7880 yeah but what is...
@@DrakeSteele That doesn't make Vault 0 canon.
This hits different with the reveals from the show. Iykyk
This aged like wine 🍷
There is Vault 0. In Fallout Tactics. "Unlike most vaults involved in the vault experiment, Vault 0 was not an experiment in human behavior. It was constructed by expanding and reinforcing the Cheyenne Mountain Complex in Colorado and was by far the largest of the underground vaults (by volume). It was intended to be the nucleus of the vault network."
Fallout Tactic's isn't canon.
@@myaltaccountthatiwillbarel2288 : That's the thing: I dont see how F:T _isn't_ canon. Why? Because IRL, Cheyenne Mountain is two things: 1) The HQ for NORAD, part of the defense against the Soviets, being a part of SAC (Strategic Air Command). Who is to say that Vault-Tec, in its dealings with the US government -- and by extension, the Enclave -- didnt add on to, or lease, part of Cheyenne Mountain?
2) Cheyenne Mountain, even now, is still considered a place to go, as a destination of "Continuity of Government" plans. While nuclear war is fading as a means of waging war IRL, there is still the possibility it could be used at some point by a belligerent country. Why do you think that the US has been interfering with Iran and its centrifuges? Why do you think Trump attempted to get North Korea's Kim Jong-Un to negotiate? Because like him or despise him, even Trump knows that nuclear war would be bad for business.
But my point here is, Vault 0 _should be_ considered canon, because from a logistical, communications and tactical perspective, it makes sense. Plus, if Vault 0 was the hub for all of the Vaults, then it would allow monitoring for all of the experiments in different Vaults. Vault 0 being what it is, is just too good, and makes too much sense, to not be considered canon.
@@isaiahwelch8066 Becuase it said a shjt ton of contradictong things witb the lore and because both Todd Howard and Chris Avellone said so.
@@isaiahwelch8066 You make slme ponts. Bht perhaps you should ask Todd himself.
@@myaltaccountthatiwillbarel2288 : First, what contradicting points were made with the main lore? After brushing up on the known information, it gels with the idea that those in Vault 0 went the same way as those in Fallout 4, in that those cryogenically frozen ended up dead. At the least, those people whose brains were used in Vault 0 and hooked up to the Calculator suffered severe conditions, such as dementia. All in all, Vault 0 seems to be the same outcome as Transcedence, where the minds downloaded into the computer did not realize that physical oxidation and other corrosion would still happen. Whether they planned for this via maintainence robots, or some other means, is unclear. What is clear is that at some point, the programming of the robots, along with the corrupted minds, corrupted the entire system.
But the point I'm raising is that the original premise for having Vault 0 be at Cheyenne Mountain is sound, as it literally sounds like the civilian version of the government's own "Continuity of Government" contingencies. And, don't forget that, more than likely, Vault-Tec, being a pre-war corporation, probably did act as a contractor for various government entities, which would have given them access to government ideas and rationale.
