Hope you all enjoyed this long compilation video covering all the vault lore from Fallout. Here’s hoping the Vault or Vaults from the TV series have some interesting stories to them!
Thank you for this video. I have only played 4 and 76 so I had no idea about any of this other information. I plan of getting the other games, especially 3 since that is vault 101 and it looks like the most interesting to play.
@@apocalypse487 The Vaults as an experiment was ret-conned into F1 when F2 was being made, which isn't a bad thing. But turning a great government public service project into something sinister certainly sounds like something a politician would do.
@@mbishop2050 If you're on PC why not give F1 and 2 a go? They certainly take some mental gear shifting but the story-telling is great. Then at the end of F1 you can tell me whether the Overseer and the Master were right. :)
8:53 left out a pretty important part of this story if you ask me and you make her look crazy. She was coerced into sex on the condition that they don’t vote her husband to die, and then they vote him to die anyway. THEN she goes on a murder spree.
I believe there’s 100% more secret vaults out there, private vaults that VaultTec didn’t want anyone to know exist at at all. Some bought and built by billionaires who wanted their own secret luxury vaults, as well as vaults in foreign countries. I have a hard time thinking a company like this wouldn’t be dealing under the table with any country willing to pay
I was wondering if the bombs only dropped in America (which is why all of the known Vaults are in America) or if they were dropped anywhere else. The Vaults were only supposed to save less than .01% of humanity so were the bombs dropped everywhere and only really available in America?
I was giving people special stats Lucy is maxed out in luck and charisma Her brother has high intelligence Cowboy ghoul has high perception and agility I’m waiting for Grognak the barbarian to make a cameo
The variation of the experiments make me cackle sometimes Vault X: Psychological torture with the intent to induce paranoia. Vault Y: No clean clothes. 😂😂
I mean, if the intent was to understand the limits of human tolerance so you can put together a stable team to colonize other plants, it would SUCK to think you had the perfectly balanced group, only to have them flip out over dirty underwear 😅
“We will now proceed to selectively breed humans to create a ideal and perfect soldier for the wasteland at the request of the Government” “Anyways we put a single panther in there for some reason”
Vault 68: a horrific story of one woman being raped over and over for her entire life, for the “good” of humanity. Vault 21: lol we just play blackjack when we disagree
I wanted the series to have the puppet guy, but he was alone in the Vault, so I assume he would be a 1st and only generation Vault Dweller and would probably be one of the first Vaults to open after the bombs dropped.
😅 120 known public vaults Only 17 control vaults, only 2 of those made it 150+ years in control I'd like to see the series of the pre war agreements and the set up that lead to vault tech. How could a corporation convince the government to pay them to take test subjects on tax credit. It sounds simple, but really it's breaking so many rules you wonder how it went unnoticed
treating the penny arcade comics with the same level of seriousness as the in game vaults just made them funnier. I choked on my drink when you said, "beware the puppet man"
If I remember, it is indeed canon. In one of the games, you can find an NPC who recounts his encounter with "The Puppet Man" and how he was lucky to survive.
I’m brand new to fall out, i thought I understood what was going on in the games from hearing people talk about it and watching them play bits and pieces, but this is the first time i heard that the vaults were experiments! It has been so fun watching this and learning more lore about a game i havent even played! Thanks for uploading such an indepth vid!

@@leekc2998Doing it in spite of the overseer doesn't make much sense considering nobody elected after would have had anything to do with the first overseers actions

@@anthonygregory6797they are the rich not the STUPID rich. You were only allowed in the vault if they deemed you important enough. So like homeless-middle class wouldn’t be allowed in
If the fallout show does well they should do spin offs where each season is the fall of a different vault. Make it dark, depressing and horror filled. Everyone dies in the end type of story, their deaths build the world.
@@me1698 fuck it even a mini series with like 4-5 30min episodes or 10 15 minute ones. Short and focused, then the main show can allude to them/ interact with the aftermath in B Plots. This way the show doesnt need to do flash backs and instead can just find the remains, react and move on like the crew in the original the thing
@@mydeaddad2927I’d love to see a series of standalone Vault stories. A bit like Black Mirror, each episode could be different with some being funny, scary, gory, bizarre etc. I’m sure that would make for a great series 👍
The main room that has me most curious is the bloody plungers room, it looks like someone tried to be spiderman with plungers, I have no earthly idea what could have happened there, but it's interesting whatever it was.
Thank you so much WiseFish for making these videos archiving the Fallout Vault lore and putting them all together in thos compilation. It has been years since I played one of the games or watched my dad play and helped him. With the new Fallout show out I wanted to brush up on all the lore ans find out about the vaults I didn't know about. You rock and I wish you all the best.
@@thewastelandsurvivor5408 The one featured in the ads and the one that all the mutant people are in are the same vault. The mutants are descended from the experiments done by the scientists that were originally meant to experiment on the inhabitants. Of the family sitting around the table in the advert, the father is seen on the holo-tape shown to Lucy when she's captured, confirming they're the same vault.
I thought it was the Enclave doing experiments on the humans turning them into Mutants, or did i miss something in the show, i thought scientist dude with the dog ran from the Enclave. @@Modeus_
The overseer of vault 76 also had her own mission from vault tec on reclamation day. She was supposed to find and secure the automated nuclear launch facilities in the Appalachian area for Vault Tec.
The fallout show is actually really good, I watched the first four episodes and so far so good. Admittedly I was a little apprehensive about it before a watched it but coming from a long time fan of the games and lore, I really like it.
I wish they would explain why they chose to do all these experiments with the survivors, knowing full well that it would result in a bunch of scuffed humans that will now be released onto the world with the responsibility of rebuilding and moving man kind forward. Im pretty sure the result wouldnt be too far off how people act today 😅
@@zigfaust The TV show isn't canon for a reason. The actual purpose of it was the Enclave before being destroyed by the Brotherhood, NCR, with the help of The Chosen One (Child of the Vault Dweller from Fallout 1) was to create a colony ship and fly to a new Earth. The core purpose of the vaults was to see the effects of long duration space flight on humanity to determine the best case scenario to ensure the survival of humanity and therefor America.
Really awesome compilation. I enjoyed back when you first upladed each of these vids but seeing them all together like this was a great refresher. Well played!
@@notjebbutstillakerbal that would be sweet, but I know the fallout franchise relies on its 50's Americana.. it would be pretty different but I'd still love to see it
How do you play it? I played fallout 4 a few years ago and didn't like it at first. Retried it and it was good. I went to get new Vegas or the other ones but seems like they're ps3. I don't have any older consoles so what options are there?
This is hands down the most detailed video I have seen on UA-cam about all the vaults. Thank you for doing such a long and detailed video and explaining everything in a reasonably paced manner. Too many videos rush through it all or talk too fast. I have liked and subbed 👍
Amazing work , i really need to share this video with some of my friends who started watching Fallout but never played the games. Thanks for doing this
Vault 13 within the cannon ending of Fallout 2 was shown to become derelict as it no longer had anyone to keep it running and repaired. Yes the cannon ending is the place horridly massacred and destroyed, kind of wish at least the one surviving talking death claw was in New Vegas.
I tried to play Fallout 1 and 2 over 20 years ago. My PC was so lame back then I simply couldn't get through the remaining 70% of both games, yet it would become something I would bind over with other friends who tried these games. I had NO idea what happened in all vaults at all to this day. You can tell I've just finished the TV show. 😊
Never played the game and only came across lore because of the push because of the show ( really enjoyable), I am hooked. What a fascinating concept and world.
I just finished this video after watching the show and this really helped me get a better understanding of fallout and now I’m obsessed!!! Great job explaining everything
Great video, once you release the version including the (imo great) TV show pls put somewhere in the corner where you can encounter each vault (game, TV show, fallout bible, etc.) for the case we wanna learn more about the vaults. =)
Super compilation! Thanks for the hard work. It's interesting how much lore there is about vaults in the Appalachia region, despite there never being a Fallout game set there. Maybe one day :)
Thanks for making this video I'm sure it took a long time to make Fallout creators were very careless when making the timelines but regardless of that the stories of each vault are always amazing and you did a great job listing it all ❤ Great Job fellow citizen 👏🏽
In the TV series vaut 33, 32 and 31 are mentioned as linked together in a triangle. I wish more information was released other than they were created for trade and reproductive reasons. I never realized there were so many other vaults...good job putting your research out!!!
Not according to historical incidents of certain stranded shipwreck victims. Instead, all the men kill each other over the limited supply of females. But here's the kicker: the females then start killing the men they don't want to mate with from whomever is left. Ultimately, if there's enough food, you end up with a handful (Or just one) of guy(s) in charge of harem(s). But if there is not enough food, males and females pair off on a one-to-one or one male-to-a few-females basis. Too bad Vault-Tec didn't do its history research, since a lot of experiments had already been obviated by other experiments or natural occurrences.
thanks for making this watching season 1 of the tv show brought me here and i was curious to see what the other vaults were. And what i could loosely expect for season 2 as far as the stuff out there. Thanks for making this.
I'd like to know about the vaults that were not a part of some Vault-Tec twisted experiments. If the intention truly was to preserve humanity in any capacity, surely the bulk of people would be housed in these.
Those were the control vaults. Those vaults actually were there to open after so many years i.e. vault 76 that opened after 25 years. As far as we know, the control vaults didn't have any twisted experiments. They were actually built for the reclamation day(s).
As far as I know, only 3 vaults were really meant to house people in anything amounting to preservation, and those 3 were meant for the rich and privileged few, they actually were smaller population wise then the rest of the vaults. In game these places could maybe house a 50 people, in lore they could, and often did, house tens of thousands of people. Bethesda games practice game logic in a interesting way. Most games use window dressing to make places look far bigger then they actually are, to tell you the intended scale through a mix of lore and impossible to visit distant objects. Bethesda gives you are diorama to walk around of these places with lots of lore that talks about how big these places are meant to be. Mostly because they want to practice the idea of you being to go wherever you can see.
@@FastForwardPlans I would survive 20 minutes outside, However in a vault like 81 I could grow old and have a family maybe. Even still I would be a subject to experimentation.
@@FastForwardPlansWait but the Wiki says “The total number of inhabitants could be as high as 500 (1000 with hot bunking) in installations like Vault 13 and Vault 76 and as low as 100.”
Update: Vault 4 is now understood to have created Gulpers from human experiments on test subjects and at the same time did experiments on facial features like the cyclops man plus another person with an ear on his forehead.
New additiona from the Fallout TV show (Spoiler warning) Vault 4 was setup before the bombs dropped, filled with 80 volunteer scientists who would live in and run the Vault for 5 years, with the point to prove that a society run by scientists can thrive. During this time they would begin to experiment on human subjects, turning some into wasteland type creatures, eventually atleast one subject known as a Gulper escaped captivity and killed most of the scientists. After the destruction of Shady Sands the remaining citizens of Vault 4 invited in the survivors creating a blended society of Vault Dweller traditions and Wastelander traditions. Vault 31-33 these are all connected but separated by two party Vault Doors, Vault 31-33 are seemingly perfect vaults, trading dwellers for marriage and the Overseers being able to message the other 2 Overseers. One day during the triennial wedding between Lucy (V33) and Monty between 33&32 that Vault 32’s original dwellers are all dead and these people at the wedding are actually Wastelanders here to abduct the Overseer Hank Maclean. After his abduction his daughter leaves the Vault in search of her father. Her younger brother Norm stays in search of the mystery behind the death of Vault 32’s dwellers, eventually learning that they were dead long before the wastelanders arrived and that they murdered their overseer and wrote “Death to Management” in his blood on the wall. This makes him investigate the history of Vault 33 and 32’s overseers after the next electon pickd another Overseer who was a transfer from 31 like his father Hank, he learns that every overseer for both 33&32 that every single overseer was from Vault 31. Norm gets into Vault 31 by messaging Overseer of 31 and lying he finds out that Overseer of 31 is an immortal Vault Tec executive named Bud Askins and that 31 is filled with Cryogenic chambers that contain Vault Tec management that have been trained in Bud Askins management program before the bombs fell, nicknamed Bud’s Buds. And that 33&32 are breeding populations so Bud can create a genetic pool that is geared towards good management. Before Norm can leave and share the news Bud traps him in the Vault and says he can’t leave because he’ll ruin the experiment, and that either he can die of starvation or hop in his fathers old Cryogenic pod until they are all ready for the land above in 100-200 years.
Loved the video @WiseFish! Can't wait for the next video man! So from what I do remember of the Fallout Vault Locations, The Mojave Desert is for Vaults in Fallout 3: New Vegas, The Area of the Commonwealth (Namely Massachusetts) is for Vaults in Fallout 4, and Appalachia is for Vaults in Fallout 76. If Bethesda were to Explore the Depths of the Ocean, I hope they do a better job with their "Crash Mechanics" like we see every time the Player Shoots down a Vertibird, and instead goes for the Battlefield V or Ace Combat 7 Feel, because we need more Vehicle Mods in Gerneral for the Fallout Games. The Weapons are Fine, unless you're like me and have a Preference for World War Two to Vietnam Period Equipment, in which case you have a Pretty Slim Assortment. I'd love to be able to find any of the M4 Sherman Medium Tank Variants, Fix it up and take a Couple of guys out with it as we (or rather I) explore the World. The Fact that one is getting Blown up in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel means that Bethesda had intended to allow for the Player to at least take control of a Tank or any Military Vehicle and with the Current Modding Community for Fallout, it would make Sense to have any of the World War Two Tanks and Vehicles modded into the Game to go with the Modded Weapons. *GAAARRRYY......* *Goes Wide eye as if to instantly Lose it* Excuse me for one moment..... *Grabs an M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) and walks out the Door.* HEY, GARY 54! SHUT THE F0CK UP! *GAARRYY!!!!!!!* *The Distinct Deep Booms of the BAR can be heard as I Magdump all 30 Rounds of .30-06 Springfield Ammunition into Gary 54* Like Badger Said, F0CK the NCR and the Legion, who wants Taxes or Slavery when you can salvage a Sunken B-29 Superfortress from Lake Meade and make it rain Death from Above. *BOOMER, GONNA, BOOM* Oh my God, who let TABG in here?!?! Okay, I hope you enjoyed this little Skit full of References to TheRussianBadger because I've got a few more things to take care of like letting the video play out in mute because the Page wouldn't respond and had to reload. First video of yours that I'm watching and I'm glad I took the time to listen about the various Cannon, Non-Cannon and Cut Vaults of Fallout. Let me know what you think about all of this and I'll catch you in your next video man!
Cl I see Vault 11 as the worse vault killing over each other only to find out it’s a test is acc fucked. The guilt and remorse the 5 dwellers must’ve felt unimaginable. I don’t blame them for what they did in the end
Really enjoyed this video, just finished the Amazon series with the wife, I sent her this video to help with all the fallout vaults lore, she’s hooked!
I never get when they leave perfectly safe vaults for good. Like I get leaving for supplies or whatever when it comes down to it but why the fuck move out of what is essentially a fort with lighting, water etc?
I just wanted to say thanks for this video, Fallout is such a amazing series and I'm sad my first installment and last was fallout 4 but I'm happy more ppl are learning about this amazing game
Seems like the college I work at is a Vault 53. The TV show has rekindled my interest in the Fallout series, so I'm binge watching lore videos. Fascinating stuff.
If i was an Overseer, as soon as that door shut and i feel a rumple... we all having a coming to Jesus talk and im spilling the vault tec chilli all over the place. And no body gonna stop me.
thanks for not including vault 33 in this one. I kinda have been on the fence about watching it, my brother recommended it so I might, and this video might be the best thing to push to watching.
Personally id say vault 4s experiments were the most inhumain and brutal considering it was tourturing pregnant women and allowing that one particular experiment shown in the fallout show that gave birth to some mutant fish and that they then allowed those fish to eat the women while she was still alive
If you're the type of consoomer that loved Rings of Power or hated Andor for being "boring" I'm sure you'll love this to. If you're not a mindless NPC you'll most likely hate it.
@@bot_Est1989 wow aren't you high and mighty. The show was okay. I wouldn't really compare it to either of those shows. It wasn't as badly written as rings of power and it wasn't slow paced like Andor. It was in general okay and worth a watch.
So in the show, the adjacent vault dwellers all killed themselves and they never explained it… so I’m guessing it was because they found out about the experiment and wanted to get back at them… just like in vault11..
Wisefish thank you for the video. Could you do a video on what you think might be the point of vault 63, ive seen a video of people glitching into it and its completed. You can walk around and loot plenty. I'd love to know what you think just off of looking around in it.
In the Appalachian Mountains there's the Blue Ridge Parkway, it's not just a pretty drive but completely able to militarize the entire Eastern Mountain Range of the US. But big sections have been shut down for years now... Perfect cover for Vault Construction.
As a fallout fan while I have my critic. It should be noted and said.... That all the vaults 120+. Minus around 5+ as we know.... But vaults were designed in purpose to test, research and understand the prolong "situation" of people in different environments. Many "overseers" never knew the initial obj. Things were also understand to fail.
I'm adding on to this if people want to read. But there is so much lore beyond. What a vault was purposed for. There is no "enclave" vault. Or brotherhood to be specific. But for you new people getting into it because of the show... It just don't know. There's 100s of hrs of factual lore.
Never played the game but enjoyed the TV show and being the part-time nerd I am, I've been watching Fallout lore vids since. I'm curious, how do all these vaults show up in the game? Do you enter them and read some history docs on each? Are there tasks to complete in some or all?
You generally find them around population centers, and/or from pre-war records. Every Vault is set up with clues as to what happened there, whether from living residents, old journals, old computer terminals, or just observing the layout of bodies, detritus, and the Vault itself. For instance, you might find evidence that there was a shootout over food, because the diner is barricaded, and there are skeletons with weapons on both sides of the barricade.
Depends on the vault but for the most part, yeah. You'll have a quest or task leading you into the vault, and while you're in there you explore the vault and learn it's history through having terminals, reading journals, finding notes on bodies, etc. Some of the story is told through cutscenes in the earlier games, some is through dialogue outside the vaults from survivors, etc. It's a wonderful mix of outright story telling and piecing together little clues here and there
Some of these vaults do a wonderful job presenting the bulk of their individual story via environmental story telling. Where the quest that lead you there barely matters as you see the gradual or dramatic decline of the vault.

Thank you so much WiseFish for making these videos archiving the Fallout Vault lore and putting them all together in thos compilation. It has been years since I played one of the games or watched my dad play and helped him. With the new Fallout show out I wanted to brush up on all the lore ans find out about the vaults I didn't know about. You rock and I wish you all the best.
And now we can also fit Vault 31,32,33 into the lore we have gained from this.
And 4
Big w
@GhanjaLounge from my understanding it looks like the Los Angeles Vault is supposed to be vault 4 as it's the one used in the ads seen in the show
@@thewastelandsurvivor5408 The one featured in the ads and the one that all the mutant people are in are the same vault. The mutants are descended from the experiments done by the scientists that were originally meant to experiment on the inhabitants. Of the family sitting around the table in the advert, the father is seen on the holo-tape shown to Lucy when she's captured, confirming they're the same vault.
I thought it was the Enclave doing experiments on the humans turning them into Mutants, or did i miss something in the show, i thought scientist dude with the dog ran from the Enclave. @@Modeus_
Yay an hours worth of vault tec war crimes
What happened at Vault 12, the US did something similar to the people from the Marshall Islands.
Nah I wouldn’t call these war crimes more like crimes against humanity
They weren’t crimes the first time ☺️
@@StarSteve681 I agree. There's lots of vault numbers missing.
It's not a war crime the first time
Awesome video. Very clear and well researched! The Gary clone vault is both terrifying and hilarious LOL
Your voice and cadence is great for falling asleep. I know all the lore, watched hours of fallout content, but I'd give you two thumbs up if i could.
The overseer of vault 76 also had her own mission from vault tec on reclamation day. She was supposed to find and secure the automated nuclear launch facilities in the Appalachian area for Vault Tec.
The fallout show is actually really good, I watched the first four episodes and so far so good. Admittedly I was a little apprehensive about it before a watched it but coming from a long time fan of the games and lore, I really like it.
I wish they would explain why they chose to do all these experiments with the survivors, knowing full well that it would result in a bunch of scuffed humans that will now be released onto the world with the responsibility of rebuilding and moving man kind forward. Im pretty sure the result wouldnt be too far off how people act today 😅
The CIA did some stuff almost at the same level with MKUltra 👀👀👀
They do.
Watch the show.
@@zigfaust they clearly commented before being able to watch the show lmao I keep seeing you commenting like a smart ass, actual brain rot
@@zigfaust The TV show isn't canon for a reason. The actual purpose of it was the Enclave before being destroyed by the Brotherhood, NCR, with the help of The Chosen One (Child of the Vault Dweller from Fallout 1) was to create a colony ship and fly to a new Earth. The core purpose of the vaults was to see the effects of long duration space flight on humanity to determine the best case scenario to ensure the survival of humanity and therefor America.
@@Cipher160well, the creators and even Todd Howard said the tv series are canon so the previous commenter was correct in indicating the show.
Really awesome compilation. I enjoyed back when you first upladed each of these vids but seeing them all together like this was a great refresher. Well played!
would love to see a fallout game based on all the locations in one giant map with all the vaults and lore included
if only Bethesda didnt hate us
A map of the entire US? Maybe even Above or below the border
@ethanmctavish9551 maybe there could be a Fallout: Europe?
@@notjebbutstillakerbal that would be sweet, but I know the fallout franchise relies on its 50's Americana.. it would be pretty different but I'd still love to see it
Got my roommate playing fallout 2 today. How fitting
Best one, and my favorite game of all time
How do you play it? I played fallout 4 a few years ago and didn't like it at first. Retried it and it was good. I went to get new Vegas or the other ones but seems like they're ps3. I don't have any older consoles so what options are there?
@@tigerwoods373 F1 and 2 are PC only.
@@tigerwoods373 GoG has them to download. I think 1 and 2 are $10 each.
Run from lucky dog
Always remember all these atrocities aren't real but then again remember all these atrocities came from someone's head.
This is hands down the most detailed video I have seen on UA-cam about all the vaults. Thank you for doing such a long and detailed video and explaining everything in a reasonably paced manner. Too many videos rush through it all or talk too fast. I have liked and subbed 👍
There’s also another one with 4.5 M views but this one did it better tbh.
Amazing work , i really need to share this video with some of my friends who started watching Fallout but never played the games. Thanks for doing this
Vault 13 within the cannon ending of Fallout 2 was shown to become derelict as it no longer had anyone to keep it running and repaired.
Yes the cannon ending is the place horridly massacred and destroyed, kind of wish at least the one surviving talking death claw was in New Vegas.
"Hahaha! Gary!" ~ Gary.
To qoute an Abridged Anime series
"Gary...... excuse me a moment, I gotta say hello to an old friend"
And cue Killing all the Gary clones
@@shelbybayer200 *Father hallucination for some weird reason.*
I tried to play Fallout 1 and 2 over 20 years ago. My PC was so lame back then I simply couldn't get through the remaining 70% of both games, yet it would become something I would bind over with other friends who tried these games.
I had NO idea what happened in all vaults at all to this day. You can tell I've just finished the TV show. 😊
IVE BEEN PRAYING FOR THIS SINCE I WATCHED MITTEN SQUADS VIDEO ON THE VAULTS
Rip! Love the fallout community
May he rest in peace
This is where the real game begins
rest in peace, paul. we miss you
RIP to a legend
Never played the game and only came across lore because of the push because of the show ( really enjoyable), I am hooked. What a fascinating concept and world.
I love the compilation videos personally! Please don’t be afraid to keep making more like this!
I just finished this video after watching the show and this really helped me get a better understanding of fallout and now I’m obsessed!!! Great job explaining everything
I honnestly cant wait to know what vault experiment we'll learn about in the so far away fallout 5
Koi
Great video, once you release the version including the (imo great) TV show pls put somewhere in the corner where you can encounter each vault (game, TV show, fallout bible, etc.) for the case we wanna learn more about the vaults. =)
Thank you for sharing this video, very informative, enjoyable and great to have in the background too. Really great work again thank you.
Omg always coming through on the days I need it most! Appreciate you!
Super compilation! Thanks for the hard work.
It's interesting how much lore there is about vaults in the Appalachia region, despite there never being a Fallout game set there. Maybe one day :)
I think it'd be so cool to see some kind of mutant creature based on Appalachian folklore
Thanks for making this video I'm sure it took a long time to make Fallout creators were very careless when making the timelines but regardless of that the stories of each vault are always amazing and you did a great job listing it all ❤ Great Job fellow citizen 👏🏽
The timelines were never retconned, you fools just couldn’t read a damn chalkboard
Perfect video to watch now since the TV show is up !
Strobe warning from 1:34:38 to 1:35:59. Another at 1:43:41 to 1:47:30. Probably more that I had forgotten to put
thank you so much--I love lore and have epilepsy. I appreciate you!
@@anniephantom6846 Of course! :)
Also sorry if I missed any
Exporing the mysteries of the vaults in that dark tone fallout 3 had was so deliciously horrific.
In the TV series vaut 33, 32 and 31 are mentioned as linked together in a triangle. I wish more information was released other than they were created for trade and reproductive reasons. I never realized there were so many other vaults...good job putting your research out!!!
The vault with 999 men and 1 woman must’ve been a nightmare for that poor lady 😂
Nightmare for her? What about the guys?!
The vault with 999 men was a nightmare. Just like the vault with 999 women was a nightmare. Humans in general are animals.
@bizbe4465 the people who created the vaults are animals
Not according to historical incidents of certain stranded shipwreck victims. Instead, all the men kill each other over the limited supply of females. But here's the kicker: the females then start killing the men they don't want to mate with from whomever is left. Ultimately, if there's enough food, you end up with a handful (Or just one) of guy(s) in charge of harem(s). But if there is not enough food, males and females pair off on a one-to-one or one male-to-a few-females basis. Too bad Vault-Tec didn't do its history research, since a lot of experiments had already been obviated by other experiments or natural occurrences.
@@bizbe4465 for a guy ts would get tiring and old so fast 😂 like imagine fucking that much for yeaaaaars
thanks for making this watching season 1 of the tv show brought me here and i was curious to see what the other vaults were. And what i could loosely expect for season 2 as far as the stuff out there. Thanks for making this.
I'd like to know about the vaults that were not a part of some Vault-Tec twisted experiments. If the intention truly was to preserve humanity in any capacity, surely the bulk of people would be housed in these.
Those were the control vaults. Those vaults actually were there to open after so many years i.e. vault 76 that opened after 25 years. As far as we know, the control vaults didn't have any twisted experiments. They were actually built for the reclamation day(s).
As far as I know, only 3 vaults were really meant to house people in anything amounting to preservation, and those 3 were meant for the rich and privileged few, they actually were smaller population wise then the rest of the vaults.
In game these places could maybe house a 50 people, in lore they could, and often did, house tens of thousands of people. Bethesda games practice game logic in a interesting way. Most games use window dressing to make places look far bigger then they actually are, to tell you the intended scale through a mix of lore and impossible to visit distant objects. Bethesda gives you are diorama to walk around of these places with lots of lore that talks about how big these places are meant to be.
Mostly because they want to practice the idea of you being to go wherever you can see.
@@Thewraithgaming8376 is not a control vault, the experiment was how the super elite will reclaim Appalachia, and reclaiming nuclear sillos.
@@FastForwardPlans I would survive 20 minutes outside, However in a vault like 81 I could grow old and have a family maybe. Even still I would be a subject to experimentation.
@@FastForwardPlansWait but the Wiki says “The total number of inhabitants could be as high as 500 (1000 with hot bunking) in installations like Vault 13 and Vault 76 and as low as 100.”
Update: Vault 4 is now understood to have created Gulpers from human experiments on test subjects and at the same time did experiments on facial features like the cyclops man plus another person with an ear on his forehead.
"Every 343 Halo game" won me over. Subbed.
This is such a great lore video, thank you mate!
Oxhorn has a 7 year series about this exact thing.
I suggest everyone take a look at it as it’s super in depth in every single vault.
Vault 56 is basically the world we're currently living in, but without WiseFish videos.
New additiona from the Fallout TV show (Spoiler warning)
Vault 4 was setup before the bombs dropped, filled with 80 volunteer scientists who would live in and run the Vault for 5 years, with the point to prove that a society run by scientists can thrive. During this time they would begin to experiment on human subjects, turning some into wasteland type creatures, eventually atleast one subject known as a Gulper escaped captivity and killed most of the scientists.
After the destruction of Shady Sands the remaining citizens of Vault 4 invited in the survivors creating a blended society of Vault Dweller traditions and Wastelander traditions.
Vault 31-33 these are all connected but separated by two party Vault Doors, Vault 31-33 are seemingly perfect vaults, trading dwellers for marriage and the Overseers being able to message the other 2 Overseers. One day during the triennial wedding between Lucy (V33) and Monty between 33&32 that Vault 32’s original dwellers are all dead and these people at the wedding are actually Wastelanders here to abduct the Overseer Hank Maclean. After his abduction his daughter leaves the Vault in search of her father. Her younger brother Norm stays in search of the mystery behind the death of Vault 32’s dwellers, eventually learning that they were dead long before the wastelanders arrived and that they murdered their overseer and wrote “Death to Management” in his blood on the wall. This makes him investigate the history of Vault 33 and 32’s overseers after the next electon pickd another Overseer who was a transfer from 31 like his father Hank, he learns that every overseer for both 33&32 that every single overseer was from Vault 31. Norm gets into Vault 31 by messaging Overseer of 31 and lying he finds out that Overseer of 31 is an immortal Vault Tec executive named Bud Askins and that 31 is filled with Cryogenic chambers that contain Vault Tec management that have been trained in Bud Askins management program before the bombs fell, nicknamed Bud’s Buds. And that 33&32 are breeding populations so Bud can create a genetic pool that is geared towards good management. Before Norm can leave and share the news Bud traps him in the Vault and says he can’t leave because he’ll ruin the experiment, and that either he can die of starvation or hop in his fathers old Cryogenic pod until they are all ready for the land above in 100-200 years.
Perfect video for work today thank you WishFish
This is sick--I love Chromatic Fire and Stasis but I could only think pf Aeger's Scepter to pair with it. NTTE is a game changer for Stasis builds!
Bro, this is awesome!!! Thank u for putting it together like this, W!
I hope they make a Vault series where each episode is dedicated to what happens in the vault. Almost like an “Are you Afraid of the Dark” tone.
How take advantage of the sudden popularity of an existing franchise, the video. Hehe, I'm enjoying the video so far!
Loved the video @WiseFish! Can't wait for the next video man! So from what I do remember of the Fallout Vault Locations, The Mojave Desert is for Vaults in Fallout 3: New Vegas, The Area of the Commonwealth (Namely Massachusetts) is for Vaults in Fallout 4, and Appalachia is for Vaults in Fallout 76.
If Bethesda were to Explore the Depths of the Ocean, I hope they do a better job with their "Crash Mechanics" like we see every time the Player Shoots down a Vertibird, and instead goes for the Battlefield V or Ace Combat 7 Feel, because we need more Vehicle Mods in Gerneral for the Fallout Games. The Weapons are Fine, unless you're like me and have a Preference for World War Two to Vietnam Period Equipment, in which case you have a Pretty Slim Assortment. I'd love to be able to find any of the M4 Sherman Medium Tank Variants, Fix it up and take a Couple of guys out with it as we (or rather I) explore the World. The Fact that one is getting Blown up in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel means that Bethesda had intended to allow for the Player to at least take control of a Tank or any Military Vehicle and with the Current Modding Community for Fallout, it would make Sense to have any of the World War Two Tanks and Vehicles modded into the Game to go with the Modded Weapons.

Okay, I hope you enjoyed this little Skit full of References to TheRussianBadger because I've got a few more things to take care of like letting the video play out in mute because the Page wouldn't respond and had to reload. First video of yours that I'm watching and I'm glad I took the time to listen about the various Cannon, Non-Cannon and Cut Vaults of Fallout.
Let me know what you think about all of this and I'll catch you in your next video man!
Vault 92 was the music vault with an Overseer named Richard "Rick" Rubin? Thats a nice little nod. *Edited
It's Vault 92
I like how some of the vaults’ lore were used for the show.
Vault 3 and vault 33 may as well be the same vault, just tweaked in context
I made a vault 666 in shelter and I swear that number triggered it to be rock hard. First 10 mins I was attacked by a deathclaw lol
Top tier video my friend! Enjoyed every second of It.
Cl I see Vault 11 as the worse vault killing over each other only to find out it’s a test is acc fucked. The guilt and remorse the 5 dwellers must’ve felt unimaginable. I don’t blame them for what they did in the end
Really enjoyed this video, just finished the Amazon series with the wife, I sent her this video to help with all the fallout vaults lore, she’s hooked!
I never get when they leave perfectly safe vaults for good. Like I get leaving for supplies or whatever when it comes down to it but why the fuck move out of what is essentially a fort with lighting, water etc?
I just wanted to say thanks for this video, Fallout is such a amazing series and I'm sad my first installment and last was fallout 4 but I'm happy more ppl are learning about this amazing game
Seems like the college I work at is a Vault 53.
The TV show has rekindled my interest in the Fallout series, so I'm binge watching lore videos. Fascinating stuff.
Im playing fallout 4 again after watching the show
Really love this video telling the whole lore
The further I went into this video, the scarier it got. The lengths humans go to.
These vault overseers were pure evil.
Yup
Vault 92 with all the musicians in it being ran by an Overseer named Richard Rubin is a really nice Easter Egg lol
Am I the only one here who was unaware they made a Fallout TV show? Definitely gotta watch that
It was actually so freaking good, so enjoy!
It is fantastic.
It’s new!
If i was an Overseer, as soon as that door shut and i feel a rumple... we all having a coming to Jesus talk and im spilling the vault tec chilli all over the place. And no body gonna stop me.
Honorable mentions should go to the vault in Nuka World and the display vault in the Capital Wasteland.
Thank you bro, I fell asleep to this for weeks
Love your content how about a Video on every Location in Fallout ever ?.
Respect and keep up the epic work.
I like that idea I’ll make a note :)
This was so awesome to watch on my day off 👍
"What're you? Gay?!" I don't know why that got me. 😂😂😂
thanks for not including vault 33 in this one. I kinda have been on the fence about watching it, my brother recommended it so I might, and this video might be the best thing to push to watching.
Fallout shelter is actually a means to find/select an overseer. Who ever manages their “vault” best is marked as a potential future overseer candidate
Personally id say vault 4s experiments were the most inhumain and brutal considering it was tourturing pregnant women and allowing that one particular experiment shown in the fallout show that gave birth to some mutant fish and that they then allowed those fish to eat the women while she was still alive
love this man
Richard Ruben in the music vault is a crazyyyyy coincidence/reference. I love that
I hope the TV series is good. I love the games a lot and the rich lore that comes with them.
I also hope it's good but I got a feeling it's going to disappoint
@@rafaelfierro2180. Only time will tell.
If you're the type of consoomer that loved Rings of Power or hated Andor for being "boring" I'm sure you'll love this to.
If you're not a mindless NPC you'll most likely hate it.
@@bot_Est1989 wow aren't you high and mighty. The show was okay. I wouldn't really compare it to either of those shows. It wasn't as badly written as rings of power and it wasn't slow paced like Andor. It was in general okay and worth a watch.
@@bot_Est1989you sound absolutely insufferable
So in the show, the adjacent vault dwellers all killed themselves and they never explained it… so I’m guessing it was because they found out about the experiment and wanted to get back at them… just like in vault11..
Wisefish thank you for the video. Could you do a video on what you think might be the point of vault 63, ive seen a video of people glitching into it and its completed. You can walk around and loot plenty. I'd love to know what you think just off of looking around in it.
A lot of research and work was put into this video. Thank you! ❤
My brothers. IT IS TIME
In the Appalachian Mountains there's the Blue Ridge Parkway, it's not just a pretty drive but completely able to militarize the entire Eastern Mountain Range of the US. But big sections have been shut down for years now... Perfect cover for Vault Construction.
As a fallout fan while I have my critic. It should be noted and said.... That all the vaults 120+. Minus around 5+ as we know.... But vaults were designed in purpose to test, research and understand the prolong "situation" of people in different environments. Many "overseers" never knew the initial obj. Things were also understand to fail.
I'm adding on to this if people want to read. But there is so much lore beyond. What a vault was purposed for. There is no "enclave" vault. Or brotherhood to be specific. But for you new people getting into it because of the show... It just don't know. There's 100s of hrs of factual lore.
Very nice, a good bit of work went into this, thanks! 😎
I never thought in my life i would pass out to white noise, only to wake up to be a man serenading me on "the Puppet Man"
Never played the game but enjoyed the TV show and being the part-time nerd I am, I've been watching Fallout lore vids since.
I'm curious, how do all these vaults show up in the game? Do you enter them and read some history docs on each?
Are there tasks to complete in some or all?
You generally find them around population centers, and/or from pre-war records. Every Vault is set up with clues as to what happened there, whether from living residents, old journals, old computer terminals, or just observing the layout of bodies, detritus, and the Vault itself. For instance, you might find evidence that there was a shootout over food, because the diner is barricaded, and there are skeletons with weapons on both sides of the barricade.
Depends on the vault but for the most part, yeah. You'll have a quest or task leading you into the vault, and while you're in there you explore the vault and learn it's history through having terminals, reading journals, finding notes on bodies, etc. Some of the story is told through cutscenes in the earlier games, some is through dialogue outside the vaults from survivors, etc. It's a wonderful mix of outright story telling and piecing together little clues here and there
@@hoppdeezy Thanks
Some of these vaults do a wonderful job presenting the bulk of their individual story via environmental story telling. Where the quest that lead you there barely matters as you see the gradual or dramatic decline of the vault.
the change from 121 to 95 is a reference to the highways out in Massachusetts i would assume lol
