ToxicSlurpee posted:The vault is filled only with people who dropped out of high school and then never went back. There is absolutely no entertainment of any kind but every kind of scientific equipment anybody could ever possibly want. When the Enclave come by to check on this vault they discover that it has been teleported deep into outer space somehow.

Berke Negri posted:it was introduced in 2 I know in Fallout 2 that vault 13 was revealed to be a long term isolation vault so that the enclave had a supply of non-mutated test subjects, but beyond that I think it's all Fallout bible business. I honestly don't like the Fallout bible. It was developed by one guy after Fallout was pretty much buried (It took interplay losing the Baldur's Gate licence to even start Van Buren development) in a very informal way. It seems to have little to do with any actual in house development materials and often contradicts information present in the games. I know a lot of people like Chris Avellone and his writing but anything Fallout that cites it I take with a grain of salt. Even though the ship has well and truly sailed on the vault experiment part.

It's not Avellone that made up the Vault experiments though, that was part of the development materials of Fallout 2 and it came from the original Fallout team too. Also, without that idea, we wouldn't have content like Vault 11, so IMO it was good. I also would be careful to lay a lot of the blame for the Bible inconsistencies on Avellone when the discussions between the members of the original team were never completely settled before release. Remember, the game came out in a time before internal lore bibles, with a very small team that wasn't super-hierarchical in how it worked (hell, Cain, Boyarsky and Anderson ditched hierarchies more or less completely at Troika).

Vault 18 - instead of being as American as apple pie, everything is Chinese/Communist in design - the equipment, the weapons in the armory, the propaganda posters. What happens when people indoctrinated with one country's nationalistic pride are exposed to nothing but the enemy's?

Though I assume yes it's supposed to be the glowing sea nuke but they moved it a bit to look nicer.

SwitchbladeKult posted:According to IMDB Katy Townsend, the voice actress for Cait, is from Glasgow. All this time I thought Cait's Irish accent sounded off and now I understand why. I wonder how common it is for Scottish VAs to be asked to play Irish characters. Weirdly common, I'm assuming its a money reason, or it was just the next best on the talent agencies roster or whatever, not like we're short on actors knocking around Ireland though. Her accent is dreadful, BUT "stage irish" has never been for Irish consumption, its for the rest of the anglosphere. Not something most irish people would get upset over I don't think. Though, I've always found it weird that there are Irish people in Fallout games. MacRae in FO2, Moriarty in FO3, then Cait (when its spelled like this its pronounced Catch btw) in FO4. Like, if you're going to imply that Ireland still exists, give us a Fallout: Europe, basically just put me on a horrible nuclear powered boat in the north Atlantic and let me play Pillars of Eternity 2:Fallout Europe edition.

Muscle Vault: your position in the vault is determined by how much you can bench. Strongest person gets to be overseer. Weakest is renamed to "Donkey Boy" and has to do whatever the other vault dwellers tell them to do until they become strong enough to out-lift someone else

I like the idea of the vaults being designed to test bizarre arbitrary things, like Aperture Science type of research. A vault where everything is just slightly too big or too small. A vault, where everyone has the self destructive neurotic tendencies of Larry David. A vault, but all the furniture is on the ceiling and the lights on the floor, for some reason. A wild wasteland vault: the vault dwellers are teamed up with pairs of robots. They are forced to watch cheesy movies while vault tech monitors their minds. Not thinking about the logistics of it and how they eat and breathe fits in with the rest of the leaps of logic and suspension of disbelief Fallout asks for us too!

Actually, it would be pretty fitting if it had turned out that in the fallout universe China succeeded in becoming a proper socialist state and were the unambiguous "good guys" in the conflict.

Ya they should lean more into how much the US loving sucked and was a godawful police state. FO4 opening leans in the horror of a peaceful life being destroyed, but fails to portray just had bad things were. Feel like thats a pretty big important thing that gets forgotten a lot. That and the McCarthy era anti-communist bullshit being bad gets forgotten with the faux-satire Liberty Prime and Mr. Gutsies. Thats why the Vault-Tec experiments should be dumb and clearly pointless, don't allow cruelty to hide behind any semblance of valid science. Would love to see more of what life was like for Chinese-Americans (lovely). I know theres the camps in Old World Blues but its something I'd want to see addressed in the main, core game. There is like a 0% chance of racism in the 1950s era South being addressed in '76, right?

FO4 intro and pre-war materials seem to deliberately lean into a bullshit "the government may have been bad (but let's not focus on that), but we still need to respect ARE TROOPS", thus being a grim reminder of why the original intro was such a great satire. E: 76 doesn't have NPCs so no, it's not going to be addressed.

I'd make Vaults dedicated to denying or subverting one of the five senses. Sight - outside of pipboy screens and computers, the vault has no functional lighting system. Even the pipboy's flashlight function is disabled. Sound - the reactor powering the vault emits a deafening white noise that drowns out sound throughout the entire vault. Taste - the vault is fed exclusively by Nutripaste, a pulpy substance that contains all the nutrients of a balanced diet... and tastes like paper. Touch - vault suits are replaced with bulky, heavily rad-insulated onesies that cover the entire body and must be kept on at all times for safety and radiation concerns. Smell - the ventilation system constantly pumps random essential oils and perfumes throughout the vault.
