What's your Vault 111 Theory?

What's your Theory of what goes down in Vault 111?

[Glennard]

Vault 111 was an experiment by vault-tec that tested the viability of putting humans in cryogenic storage

Cool, Why is he the only survivor?, Power Failure?

[Thalatte™]

The announcement trailer explains why he is the only survivor.

how does it explain it is it because of the nuke scene? if so thats kinda vauge espec why would he be the only one that survives when there are 2 power armored goons right there that are far more likely to survive

Power armour doesn't stop nukes, the reason is because you were the only one to enter the vault

Wrong there were people in the vault, you can see he picking the pip boy of a skeliton which obviously deid in the vualt.

Allow me to rephrase: only civilian.
I don't believe it far-fetched that vault tec would leave a few scientists in some of their vaults.

i think it is cryosleep

A possibility is that because for the first time the vault entrance is vertical, this could have been made so that the protagonist can "fall" into it and being the only civilian to do so.

But my money still remains on a similar concept of the Mass Effect Protheans:
Cryo tubes requires power to function, but over the years power becomes less and less, so to save power they need to switch off 1 Cryo at the time, this would mean that if the character got out 200 years later and there are 1000 people in the vault, 1 person needs to be switched off every 2-3 months for the rest to survive. This will either mean these people are let out of the vault or they simply die. First idea seems cooler because it means there would be survivors of Vault 111 throughout the wastelands and it could make it interesting for your character to go find his unfrozen, older son/spouse.

But since we were told the protagonist was the only survivor it could either be what the actual protagonist believe (which is not the truth) or just a way to screw with our minds until the game is released.

Edit:
Oh and one very last theory without the use of cryo, could by that they were experimenting with traveling at the speed of light in that vault, and as you know traveling at the speed of light means you are propelled forward in time.

Is bethesda becoming vault tec?

[Nate Mc Bow]

I guess it was a form of longevity project as we know that all vaults were like frigging petri dishes. Im guessing it was a form of life preservation but i dont think it will be cryogenics, as i have never seen tech like that in fallout games.

Also im sure everyone has noticed that vault 111 has a vertical vault door. Wonder why that is...

One last theory. What if it was a form of cloning project? In the E3 footage we saw that the protagonist was standing OUTSIDE the vault when the nukes fell. So he may very well have died there. Maybe the cloning facility (If my theory is correct) brought him back after 200 years?

These are all just theories so dont burn me for my train of thought please.

Time to put on my lore nazi hat and armband, not ALL the vaults were experiments, some of them were devoted to actually saving people.

Cryo has been already used twice within the fallout world (Vault 112 and Mr. House). Cloning has also been used to appalling results... right Gary?

I think only a handful, literally only like 4-5? And those were reserved only for the "important" people.

Not really. If the vaults were built to save people vault tec would have built ALOT more of them. And thing is, they never expected the nukes to actually fall. On the outside it was a PR project. On the inside it was a testing initiative.

Like take vault 101. The project there was to see if it is possible to maintain a "Pure" race of humans for the rest of eternity. Which the overseer was forced to enforce.

I dont remember vault 112 did that but mister house is a good point.
