Vault 101

[Ahegao Princess]

Is there any idea why the vault 101 vaultsuit is in the game? I've never seen it around the commonwealth, nor heard mention of the vault so far.

[BLÀde]

no one knew about that vault because everyone was frozen . except that 1 guy who took your son...

[Ludus Aurea]

I wondered that too when i did coc qasmoke. It was probably just for testing reasons.

Also, are you joking? Vault 101 is the vault from FO3. It's outside of DC, easily 450 miles from Boston.

Blade - 101 is the Vault from FO3, near Washington. The one that was never meant to open.

[Busterinabox]

Its the same engine, Not shocked they left in some code, hell its prob hidden in a corner somewhere as an easter egg.

[Ludus Aurea]

Most of the vaults were never meant to open.

So it sounded like you were confusing 101 and 111. No one was cryogenetically frozen in 101 - it was meant to stay closed forever to study the effects of such isolation in a human population over multiple generations (though the answer to that should be obvious - inbreeding, leading to a genetic bottleneck and probable extinction due to the initial small size of the population sample.)

Are you serious?

Why the f*ck would Vault Tec have two vaults with the same number? That's incredibly terrible business, in all imaginable ways. Vault Tec doesn't strike me as a company not being run by Umbrella-level CEOs. I'm sure they are still alive somewhere just like Mr. House was.

Trust me when I tell you, Vault 101 isn't in the game. If you really want to test it, type coc vault 101 in the console - it won't go anywhere. Then test it with coc vault 75 or 81 or a vault that IS in the game. Unless Vault 101 was in the game and not called Vault 101, it would take you directly to it.

The GOAT and Compound and Covenant are one thing, but to believe they put an entire Vault in the game as an easter egg is ridiculous, in a game that only has 5 vaults and only 1 of them is even worth a damn. Vault 101 is bigger than Vault 114, so I just find your naivete hilarious that you would think Bethesda would spend the time to put in a completely irrelevant, lore-breaking, useless easter egg Vault when the very vault that you start in isn't even that big.

This. The GOAT test is in the game too, and slides specifically mentioning vault 101 that were used in the test in fallout 3 are spread randomly throughout the commonwealth. I bet the 101 suit is an Easter egg somewhere.

None of the slides specifically mention Vault 101. They simply reused the same slide images and GOAT questions verbatim from FO3 for Covenant and the Compound. The same "slides" can be occasionally found in Vault Tec buildings around Boston as well, but they aren't random.

This can lead to... incest relationship.

[Ludus Aurea]

There was no inbreeding ever mentioned in Vault 101. Nor any explanation of why there were only about 15 vault dwellers.

All you can really conclude from the experiment is that isolation led to the vault population dwindling because there weren't enough people to procreate.

Ooh, burn!
Sissle!
Regardless, I wonder why that vault 101 jumpsuit was added in-game.

Dude its obviously a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ easter egg, the lone wanderer carried it with him from DC and probably left it somewhere obscure in the commonwealth as an easter egg.

You do remember the Railroad quest in fallout 3 right? With A3-21, Zimmer, etc, they mention the commonwealth to the Lone Wanderer several times... so obviously he has some clue it exists. He probably got bored of the capital's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ maze tunnel metros and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ looking people.

If it was, I've yet to find it throughout The Commonwealth after all the time I've had with the game.
Those hearts look lovely, btw.

[Ludus Aurea]

Ah I see. Yea I mean i'm sure it's only there as an easter egg and a QA thing and there's no lore reason. I doubt the lone wanderer would have any reason to stay in DC especially considering things got ♥♥♥♥♥♥ there - according to Li and BoS lore saying that Lyon's and his daughter died.

I doubt it exists in the game world though. I've only seen it in the qasmoke room.
