cant believe they added politics to my Vidya Gaem.
As someone who used to read the Fallout Bible, it is something else to hear people be so wrong about the series

Was the every vault being an experiment thing a thing in fo1?
No, they made it for Fallout 2 as the big reveal at the end
The president tells you the vaults were a grand experiment with some vaults serving as control groups and others having social experiments
The Fallout Bible expanded on the idea, both in giving numbered vaults and the details of their experiments and also establishing that the goal of the experiments was intended to provide information on stressors for deep space colonization so that the Enclave could up and go to another planet to try and start over again
Fallout 3 was where the gag vaults start popping up, which really does chafe my hide because Jesus Christ, Vaults 69 and 96 were enough of a gag
Word. I hate how Beth handles vaulttech. It went from "This vault opened early" to "This wacky vault was filled entirely with clowns and all they had to eat was catfood!"
Not really. That was more of a 3 thing, the bones of that concept were in the originals, but it wasn't taken to sadistic lengths until 3 IIRC.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Vault City for instance never had a canonical experiment? Could be wrong, it's been years.
Vault city came from vault 8, which was a control. 17 of the vaults had no experiments associated with them. Vault 3 in New Vegas is another one that seems to have had no experiments associated with it.
Wasn't 13s thing to stay closed indefinitely? : (
