    Vault 75 is pretty horrifying, but my favorite (or maybe worst) Vault is Vault 95. A cadre of chem addicts, sealed away from the Great War, on the surface of it, to attend addiction counseling. But, a Vault-tec operative was interjected into the addicted populace, equipped with a cache of chems and alcohol, to release sometime after the Vault was sealed. And when the chems were discovered… a brutal, inevitable massacre.

      Vault-Tec; much potential, less humanity. I theorize the Chief Scientist got his comeuppance and took a dirt nap. Maybe less with the Security Chief, if he wasn't indoctrinated by VT?

      yeah vault 95 is terrible but if find 75 to be slightly worse. vault 95 is nothing new countries today conduct tests like vault 95 albeit on a much more ethical scale. they collect data concerning the number of successful rehab patients versus repeat offenders. we only think 95 was an absolute failure. i don't remember finding anything stating that 100% of the "residents" relapsed. on the other hand vault 75 failed not only because it was a eugenics project, but due largely in part to the fact that no one during the concept phase to the active project phase ever thought that using select members of your test group as future staff members might end in those new members wanting to free friends and family.

      I honestly chose to believe the rejects ended up helping,joining, if not outright conquering the gunner faction and then leading an invasion on vault 75 to retake it in revenge and as a tactical advantage due to location and firearms inside and that’s why there is such a large gunner presence at the location in game.

    • @kotzpenner
      @kotzpenner Рік тому +17

      The only rational answer to this might be that the overseer didn't want the vault discovered if one reject talked too much. I mean there is precedence. But it's still a shitty excuse.

      3 is also almost non experiment as it's experiment was "what if people lived in a Vault, but without going outside".
      Now compare it to other Vaults where people were subjected to white noise to make super soldiers, where only children were allowed and the scientists also made them into super soldiers, where every possible disease would've been tested on people, where people were pitted against each other and intentionally induced with paranoid thoughts.

When you go into cardiac arrest, your heart stops pumping blood all together and spasms uncontrollably. In simple terms, you’re alive during a heart attack, and you’re dead when you’re in cardiac arrest. In reality, the endurance test ends when you die

    Not necessarily an experiment, but the purpose of vault 76 was kinda fucked as well. House only the best and brightest, those who could potentially do the most good for the wasteland in the immediate aftermath, and give them a directive to secure the region's Nuclear arsenal after they were released? We all speculate that Vault Tec started the great war, or at least egged it on. Why would they want nukes after everything was already blown to shit?
    Also, 53(?) Was super fucked, too. Having a battle royale to determine an overseer completely defeated the purpose of having an overseer. Who is left to oversee? 😂😂
