      Even though the Vault Tec one is the dumbest one possible. The company that made money by selling seats in Vaults and contracts with the US Government willingly chose to end the world and thus kill its ability to make money? And yeah, you wouldn't have seen a plane drop the bomb. The plane would've been a speck in the sky at 42,000 feet. As for a missile, by the time the Sole Survivor would've been able to see anything, it would've been a mere warhead falling from the sky with no smoke trail or anything to indicate its location.

      @@randomlyentertaining8287it’s actually the opposite of what you claim. Vault Tec makes their sales by selling vault positions yes, but the U.S and China were working on a peace agreement, which would have put Vault Tec out of buisness because the end of the world would no longer be a fear. Vault Tec had to make sure the peace agreements didn’t workout because their enitre company relies on “selling the end of the world.”
      Despite this fact, I don’t believe Vault Tec launched the first bomb, I believe they planned on it but for a later date. In the Fallout show they make it clear that Vault Tec planned to launch the first bomb, but they don’t actually confirm it, they only confirm that they planned on it

I'm excited to see where this goes tho, cuz it contrasts with Fallout 3 Mothership Zeta and the Nuclear Launch Codes, and the fact that in Megaton, Myrna DOES say that the bomb (with the vault-tec logo) wasn't actually being dropped YET, but was being CARRIED by a Pilot when the bombs fell

For a wastelander the question of who fired first really doesn't matter as it was 200 years ago but for your character it was rather recent and also because of the bombs their spouse was murdered and their son stolen.

    In fallout 4 in far harbor you can find a terminal in the submarine base controlled by the children of atom. On it is a command that sends u.s. nuclear subs towards china in a preemptive strike. The commander of the base ignored the order and was quoted as being the cause of chinese retaliation since they weren't able to completely wipe them out.

      It could still be China, the Enclave (suggested by the presence of the shadowy figures in the Vault tec meeting that Barb seemed to notice), or anything else

    What if it was just because a computer glitch? In the mid-80's nuclear warfare could have started as Soviet computers detected 4 nukes launched by the US.However the man in charge said that no one would launch 4 nukes and that it must bea glitch....But if the same happened to either the US or China they wouldn't think about that since they were already fighting each other.

      The soviet union onky needed to press a red button to react with their own bombs.
      But the soviet man in charge decided to ask before acting. And thus a nuclear war was prevented.
      Could be a self aware super computer created by vault tec.
      It malfunctioned because of glitches and errors and launched a nuclear bomb at china, wich reacted with bombs of their own.

Maybe US government has install a tons of brains used on Robobrain as processing and storage hardware but they are glitched and give false alerts.

      That's the whole point, lol. Micro electronics was never invented apart from the pip-boy, which was the smallest human technology could get. That's why the machines were big, bulky and Extremely inefficient as the nuclear era combined with fossil fuels brought in so much energy that humanity didn't care to be more efficient which led to the exhaustion of the resources followed by the resource wars, the Sino-American war and finally the Great War.
      By the time humanity actually decided to something real about the energy crisis (developing fusion tech), it was already too late.

    Hey Oxford quick question, do you have a podcast. Because you are awesome at these narratives. I play fallout 3, new vegas and 4, your narratives and theories are what kindles my blazing love for Fallout.
