I saw a video in which some characters of the Fallout tv show open a fridge and find an alien and just toss it out because they want the working fridge. I’ve never understood (or really bothered with) why Fallout had the nuclear “event” which triggered the use of the shelters. Was it an alien invasion?
Woah wait that’s the whole reason?
Okay I take back what I said, I thought they killed billions with nukes all so that they could conduct some stupid silly small scale experiments with a few 100 people per vault on whatever last remaining precious humans were left in the vaults.
Instead of say, kidnapping people, telling them they are the last survivors or some other bullshit and then experimenting on them.
Instead, killing billions to save precious few millions so that they could use the remaining resources, and conducting experiments to make humanity stronger and smarter was an ideal opportunity, but they completely underestimated the amount of time the radiation will remain on the surface which caused almost all the vault tech scientists and suits to die from old age or radiation themselves.
Correct?
more or less
they underestimated how much life would survive on the surface; they couldn’t have predicted the Forced Evolutionary Virus; the Enclave (US rump state) is too fractured and horrifically incompetent to reënact Manifest Destiny; and most of the vault experiments failed catastrophically (if they weren’t cut short by mechanical failures, deliberately or not).
