Remember that Vault which produced trained killer kids who went on to become Talon Company in Fallout 3? No? Because there's no need to invent such an origin story for a trained merc group. The Gunners are not the kids from this Vault
Jake781268162 81279 That's not necessarily something outstanding. Basically any idea, if executed passionately and rationally by a competent filmmaker, can be made into a really good movie. Same goes for books, just replace filmmaker with author.
They were testing humanity mainly. Remember that it was the Enclave that was in charge of vault tech and their mission was to expand the human race into other planets. So they needed to research a great deal of humans over long length of time before they make their way to space.

You can imagine the kids growing up and having their own kids in the wasteland. Later telling stories about how their parents freed themselves and left the vault to become true uptopland heroes
except that at the end of the experiment the entire original staff would have been dead and gone since they kept on being replenished by the smart children so they were all brainwashed at some point at least in reference to the final generation during the time of the revolt.

That actually makes sense. Out of the 120 vaults that were built, only 20 randomly selected vaults were actually the vaults that were advertised. No shady experiments, no inhumane treatment, just a safe concrete shelter from nuclear war, and coming out of there right on schedule. The rest...well, I don't need to say anything about the other 100 vaults.

I mean, for arguments sake, The Male Player Character was an actual pre-war military soldier, just like Roger Maxson(who started the Brotherhood of Steel, one of those big factions from a pretty small group of pre-war soldiers) so I’ve always had the mind-set that Nate was much more properly trained & already battle-hardened from his time in Alaska fighting the Chinese so I honestly think Nate & the BoS aren’t very different from one another anyway so he could definitely hold his own unless it’s like the full might of the BoS or some shit imo. As for the Institute, seeing as the Player Character’s son is literally in-charge of the Institute, my thinking was Shaun could never bring the full might of the Institute down on him because it’s not like he didn’t know what anything about his parents, he’s kept tabs on them since becoming in-charge showing he obviously still cares for them in some capacity, so maybe part of Shaun cares more about his Mother/Father compared to the ideals/goals the Institute has brought him up on. But I guess it just depends on which perspective you’re looking at it from. 🤷♂️
The family all died. I went into a hospital in Boston and there is a holotape from the mother saying how she has to help the people and how she misses her family and she mentions them by name.
I stumbled upon Malden Middle school during my first ever playthrough of Fallout 4, about a month after the game was released. When I first saw the opening of the vault door, I was like, "WHOA! a Vault! I was totally not expecting this! What a great twist!" Alas, as time went on, and I delved deeper into the evil of the Vault's sick experiment, I left feeling deeply disturbed. I know the story, and I know it is a game, but that was the first and LAST time I ever went inside the Malden Vault 75. I just can't bring myself to venture through those haunted halls again.
I would've preferred if the game started out this way! It may have felt too similar to the beginning of Fallout 3, but the story of this vault is very interesting.
The last Fallout(s) I played were 3 and New Vegas (mainly Fallout 3 for my 360). But ever since I've found this channel, he's got me very, very interested in playing Fallout 4. So, I stopped by GameStop after work, and bought a clean, used copy of this for a cool 6 bucks. Thanks to my own, and my best friend's (who's the Regional manager) discount. I think it was $16 or $17 used originally? I forget, oh well. Anyway, I created a character to obviously look like me. A tall, black man with a beard, toned muscles, and glasses (since I can't see worth a damn without any). Now, I've been hooked and glued to my 60" playing this game almost nonstop for days. I've been enjoying this game so damn much ever since i popped in the disc. I even brought it to work. We literally have a PS2 & 4 in our employee lobby (I'm a Sr. IT and a Server/Network Engineer at a hospital). I literally watch through your FO4 Playlist, and do my own exploring per lore video. Ok ok. Again, anyway, so I can finally shut up. Thank you for all the straight up awesome, absolutely wonderful, outstandingly great videos, man. You seriously do a perfect job at making each and every video feel like I'm watching a fictional tv series on episodes of "Fallout 4" in your own words. So, yeah. Thanks, Ox! I seriously appreciate your hard work and effort! Thumbs up, as always. My apologies everyone for my long ass comment. So please excuse me. I got a little carried away.
And yes, my black ass liked my own damn comment. UA-cam surely expects people to do so. If they didn't, they wouldn't have given us the option to do so.
I love fallout 4 as well. I have it on ps4 but don’t play it much, however, Oxhorns videos have convinced me to get it on pc and I’m addicted XD. I’ve already hit the 30 hour mark in the first 3 days
A. This makes my stomach hurt B. There's a book called "Shade's Children" that's like this. In the book, everyone over the age of 15 disappeared and those who remained were taken in by these beings that came from another world. They trained and experiment on the kids until their birthdays and then... The kids are taken to a place called "The Meat Factory" and disassembled, made into creatures that the beings, Overlords, use in battles amongst themselves. And when the book starts, its been going on for fifteen years...some of the kids don't die. Those born near or after "The Change" have powers, and the lucky ones can use these powers to escape and fight back with a AI named Shade. Its actually a book I consider a favorite but the unease I felt in my gut during this video gives me the same feeling the book gave me the first time I read it
21:35 - I have clinical depression but I’m in recovery and progressing every day, and I like to preach just feeling life around you which is why lore is so wild to me, I know everything elder scrolls but Fallout is new to me. I never realized what Fallout had to offer, I’m still new to it but this moment helped me out of a lot of intensely negative thoughts I couldn’t cope with. A story like this, when you preach really putting things into perspective, really makes you appreciate life. I feel empowered 🙌🏽 21:35
When I stumbled into Vault 75, I was honestly so ecstatic and excited. I thought the only other Vaults in the game were 111, 114, 95, and that DLC and tbh I was kind of disappointed. 111 is our first and is just a tutorial run through, 114 was full of mobsters and had a pretty lame premise tbh, with the meeting of Nick Valentine being its best highlight. I was hoping for something a little more diabolical tbh and I felt like there were hardly any terminals explaining what went on during the vault's run. 95 was the best out of those 3 and made me feel like I was actually running through a vault. And 88 was a massive disappointment. I love the workshops in Fallout 4 and have spent countless hours building settlements, but I wanted to explore a Vault, not build one! And I thought that was it. I thought those were allllll the vaults in the game. A Fallout game's not a Fallout game without Vaults, and the ones I had found were underwhelming. But then I found 75 and DAMN this one is my favorite! It actually felt like a real vault where, as I progressed, I was uncovering its secrets through the terminals and environmental storytelling. I was so giddy walking through it! I just wish Fallout 4 had more like this
I'm a huge Fallout fan, and hands down you have the absolute best Fallout videos on UA-cam. You go into so much depth and make the viewers fully feel these atrocities. Amazing job!
I love these lore stories you do of Fallout. It's so informative and it clears up something that seems clouded from said story. Thank you so much for providing us all with these videos.
The story behind this Vault is both sad and interesting: sad that parents were killed; and interesting that kids were the principal vault dwellers. I loved when I discovered that target practicing area; that was a nice touch on Bethesda's part. I came here to collect my last bobblehead.
There's already a Vault where the children are the only residents. All they have is a computer that acts as a nanny. It's out west. It's where Harold came from.
Killing the kids who underperformed seems so wasteful, why wouldn't you just let them out into the wasteland? You'd be giving them a death sentence anyway, but then they have a shot. Besides that, it seems less likely someone would find something damning because there's less flat out murder. They could have used those who left to fetch supplies and such for the vault. That would add some major risks, but still. So pointless.
Katt Raisor you seem like you have no grasp on how morals or trust decays in the nuclear wasteland. They killed the kids because vault Tec is evil, and their only goals were medical/scientific. Hence murdering all their parents at the start of everything. Sending underperforming kids out to potentially bring back an army of raiders would risk all vault Tec’s scientific work
Fire Sail - After they are set free to the outside world, nothing garantees they would continue with their "uptopland hero" mindset, they could very much turn against the vault or reveal its location to foreigners over time. If they're kept at the inner entrance of the vault as guards, they wouldn't be of much use, just more mouths to feed and that would go against the promise of being "heroes of uptopland". Not to mention the risks of having extremely strong genetically manipulated people (and now armed as they're guards) just hanging around you, having to follow your orders, if they start to question your authority, what could you do? Now that they're not captives in the lower floor, they have no reason to follow you other than pure doctrine, you don't pay them (they probably don't even know the concept of employment), you don't give them anything other than food. Mantaining control over people solely on ideology is a very fragile kind of power. You could say that the security robots would be this second force to keep them in line, but then what's the point of having human guards in the first place if the bots could even kill superhumans.
I feel like Charon from Fallout 3 was one of the children that got brainwashed in the vault and that’s why he is good at being a body guard and Azruchal(think I spelt his name wrong) bought his contract when he was old enough and strong enough. I mean I know that pretty much all the kids died, but still it makes some sense as to that he was brainwashed and all he really knows is to serve and kill
Hey, come to think of it, the premise behind this vault could actually be used as an intro to another Fallout game. Every main Fallout game with the exception of New Vegas has the player character starting out as a vault-dweller, so the precedent is definitely there. Suppose, instead of killing the Uptopland Heroes and harvesting their organs, this particular vault really did sent them to the surface. This would explain how you have the combat skills despite living in a vault your whole life. The Uptopland Heroes would be one of the earliest factions you can join. Once on the surface, a citizen would mark on your map a prewar fort where the other Uptopland Heroes have set up base, which would be on par with the largest settlement in the game in terms of vendors and other services. Raider bosses could be former Uptopland Heroes who were tempted to the raiders' life by power, wealth, and/or chems. These guys would have the same training and steroid enhancements as you do, which would qualify them as bosses. Who else likes this idea?
Blackaceed Always keep in mind: The Institute is a product of the cruel and senselessly violent post nuclear fallout world. Vault Tech does not have this excuse. VT was far worse because they did this simply because 'why not, maybe we'll learn something'. No trying to save humans in a dying world. Cruelty simply because they can. Both have done horrible things, but only one of them began in a world without raiders, slavers, mutants, monsters, ghouls, and human anarchy. One began in a 'free and safer time'. The Institute is evil, but Vault Tech is worse.
Samuel Dimbylow Apparently it was actually working based on increased athletic abilities in the growing generations. If it would have kept going in such a rapid pace, the killint instinct could have been bred into their genetics which is stronger than the many goals they aimed to reach.
They were essentially bred like cattle if think about it. More muscle cows each generation. Same probably for the kids. Breed each generation to build more muscle and become stronger. They'd harvest and artificially manufacture the next generation probably manipulating the next generation with the best genetics from previous generations. 6 would be enough because they weren't being bred naturally and the next generation improved upon the last. The cycle could go endlessly. However it's interesting intelligence was useless to the gene process though. They wanted strong stupid human beings. Probably the goal was creating obedient super soldiers. With most of these vaults it seems to be about creating a controlled society.
I don't think you ever done a video on this, but I've always wonder what the ultimate plan of Vault-Tec was...? It seems like they committed evil just for the sake of committing evil. Even antagonist groups like Caesar's Legion, The Enclave, The Institute have reasons for what they do. Hell, even the raiders have motives. A video on what Vault-Tec's overall motives and ultimate intentions would be very interesting.
Vault Tec CEO: Well we trapped one guy alone in a vault with nothing to talk to but puppets and we also made a vault that will prodice horrifying plant things. What now? Bill from Accounting: I KNOW! Lets build a vault under a school, puts kids in there, incinerate their parents, torture them,harvest the organs of the best ones at 18 and incinerate the others, all to make humanity better for a government and a millitary that will cease to exsist once the bombs drop! Vault Tec CEO: BRILLIANT!!!! Start construction now! Worker: Already on it!
@Johnathan Tronathan the plant things are from the vault west of freeside past the fiends and the puppet cault is either 16 or 19 orginally from a comic bethsda realised but was made canon in fallout 3 as you find puppet mans jumpsuit he apparently has become kind of a bogeyman figure to raiders
Vault tec: let's make a troll vault and we'll make it vault11 where people would be led to believe that they would sacrifice fellow human beings and when they don't they actually survive because we know what would happen Vault tec employee 1: damn boss you got to see vault 11 it's better than game and thrones Vault tec employee 2: boss we created the real life version of Westworld Vault tec: holy shit we got to see how this ends
They could make so many epic books or movies just from the stories of vault tech. Make it in the point of view of someone living in the vault it would he so epic. I'm actually thinking about writing the book myself
Having played FO 3 and 4 extensively, and thus seeing all the sicko stuff that Vault-Tec gets up to there, I would rate Vault 75 as one of their worst (a couple of FO3's Vaults run close behind , IMO). I have to wonder if 'Choose-Your Atrocoty' was the very first step in Vault-Tec's Vault design / build process. Simply put: VT Executive One" "Let's build a new Vault." VT Executive Two "Sure thing. What sicko stuff will we do to the people in THIS one?". VT Executive One: "I'm thinking of something involving kittens, basket weaving and flamethrowers. Definitely flamethrowers ..." And so on.
This always makes me sad, since in real life i live in everett, the town next to real life malden. Some of my friends go there, and i go to everett high school. the kids there are very nice, and is one of the reason fallout 4 has a connection to me.
Vault 75 is bullshit like you train kids to become stronger and shit all that going to waste they could of made a difference 🤦🤦but nu let's kill them and make things worse for unless experiments
@@anonymous-fm2bg Nah, I can parse it. Just needs a few bits of punctuation. "Vault 75 is bullshit. Like, you train kids to become stronger and shit, all that is going to waste. They could have made a difference, but no, let's kill them and make things worse for useless experiments." Which I disagree with a small bit. The experiment WAS useful, it was just horribly unethical and cruel. If there were a way to pull this off without the murder, it would have been much less terrible.
except even worse becasue it went on for GENERATIONS and they would kill the spartan when they were 18 use there dna to create a new kid and start it all over again forever without a end goal untill the a rebellion occured
I kinda agree with you, but there are some things to be brought up about the S-II training. First, when a kid died, they didn't hide it. It was practically in plain sight, so that probably didn't do any favors for the children's' morale and psyche. Second, the augmentations. While the physical strain these kids went through WAS horrible, the S-II augmentations had a EXTREMELY high chance of killing or crippling the augmentee. I will say this though, the Vault 75 training was REALLY close to being as bad as the S-II training.
The training of the children at Vault 75 is eerily similar to how the Nazis trained and used children and teenagers, especially boys, in their "NAPOLA" and "Adolf Hitler Schulen". Both were schools established after Hitler and his NSDAP rose to power and dreamt of creating superior humans for their Thousand Year Reich. Young boys were drilled at the earliest possible age, were trained to view sympathy and compassion as detestable weaknesses and that were to be punished. And under no circumstances were they to show compassion towards those deemed inferior racially. The Nazis didn't experiment on them, but their training was harsh, brutal and even deadly. They wanted fanatically loyal and superior soldiers as the elite for their empire. Of those who trained at the "NAPOLA" schools, over half would die in the war, wasted as a last resort to stem the tide and beat hold off an inevitable defeat.
I was also reminded of this! And of the fact that the socalled "experiments" performed by Nazi doctors like Mengele usually didn't even produce any data, because the experimental designs were a) mere excuses to be cruel and b) based on incorrect, ideologically based theories. Another example of Bethesda taking terrible events from real history and reimagining them in the world of the game. This is an especially awful one, but things this bad and worse have indeed happened in real life. It feels different to play through it than to read about it!
There's some events missed in here. The Overseer mentioned that there was a fire in the archives which made the researchers transcribe paper copies. Then Washington's terminal says that he lost some important notes down the vent, which were fished out by the kid Rohit. Rohit and James probably used it put together the pieces, then pretended to be docile to get onto the research team, pulled a bunch of strings in secret, and finally led the teenagers in successful rebellion.
Honestly it sort of makes sense that the Vault dwellers made up or created the gunners. I mean what would super soldiers who believed they were meant to protect the civilians of the wasteland do. Probably start a mercenary group of course also it has been a long time since I have played fallout 4 but I remembered a dilapidated sign in the shooting range that said GNR which is Galaxy News Radio and What I speculate to be where the name gunners came from. Or maybe I am just desperate to find a conclusion
"Promise Neverland" is lit in this video >kid didn't know got experiment >Tell story outside world is good but it isn't >kid become 'Stock' to some scientist >found out if they didn't escape, they will die >Planning to escape. >All the planning to escape and struggle. >Fighting their way out and escape >Survive the outside world.
"An Uptopland Hero is something to be. If you want to be a hero, then just follow me." Why does "Working Class Hero" (Green Day version) fit this well? Come to think of it, "Headful of Ghosts" by Bush seems to fit the Robobrains, given their backstory.
I know you probably won't read this but ive been really sick recently(Something with my kidney) but your videos on fallout have given me a great series to watch. Thank you and please keep making content
24:35 Killing the parents, incinerating the failures, going until the kids DIED and murdering the successes was entirely unnecessary. However, I don't see much reason why they couldn't have made the STATED goal for the vault (producing heroes for uptopland) into the actual goal. Train children from birth to be fighters, in a pseudo-spartan system and then a generation or three down the line, start releasing new graduates into the capital wasteland to try and 'tame' it. Like Washington noted, doing so would allow them to gain critical supplies and improve the training of the kids in the vault. Over time they would grow into their own faction within the Wasteland. It would take a lot longer to produce the perfect human genome, but if it's done more morally, I don't see that as a bad thing. One could argue that the Spartan system was also morally f#$@ed and you'd be correct, but A) it would be a heck of a better sight than what we got here, and B) I didn't say to copy it exactly.
I definitely agree with you, they could still harvest sperm and eggs from the graduates for a new generation (though maybe they harvested the hormones and such from the brains?), that way they wouldn't have to worry about losing future candidates. That said, perhaps the concern was that with outside contact, scientists and graduates would realize just how fucked the vault was, and the experiment would end, possibly with these graduates coming back and slaughtering the science team.
Great commentary on the experiment. Definitely one of the darkest Vault-Tec tests going. Gave the story great depth and justice, pleasure to listen. It's up there with Vault 11 I reckon (that one was properly GRIM!).
I was MORTIFIED, having stumbled upon this vault. Amp it up a couple *more* notches by the fact that I normally play without the soundtrack! Those poor babies...I'm glad the story seems to come right around, ominous tone or not.
seems like if vault tec had their way they'd resemble something similar to that of the Alien armada of XCOM 1& 2 very advanced plenty of knowledge and tech so devoid of compassion any sense of mercy is merely and abstract absurdity if its even a thought atall
You know, when i watch a video like this. Made with obvious passion and caring for this game and its extensice. I am just so glad that Oxhorn has gone through so much trouble to find out these stories! I visited this vault myself anf had my own guesses, but like most people i didnt find all the notes or terminals. Thank you Oxhorn!!
Sith'ari Azithoth Except vault tec isn't the government. The reason they were ABLE to do these experiments is because in a post apocalyptic world, vault tec was unchecked by any authority. Besides, if we look at it outside of the narrative, this is a post apocalyptic game. That setting comes first, the stories come second. To discuss that they didn't need to the nuclear war to carry these experiments out is nonsensical. If there was no apocalypse, there would be no game, thus no vault tec. Your grievance seems a bit nit picky and slightly retarded.
tecroach Damn! Thought I was one of the only ones to find this, it brings a strange link to the cloning vault in Fallout 3... I wonder if there’s anymore links?
I'm watching this for the first time and I had a thought: Could the James from here be the same James that one day fathers the Lone Wanderer? Even if not considered one of the brighter kids amongst geniuses, he probably still has a decent intellect; he's certainly smart enough to help in a revolt, and probably became a doctor/scientist later on 😀
@@troodon1096 "Good intentions"...Vault Tec hears this phrase and thinks to itself "Oh goody, now we can justify performing completely insane, unethical, potentially-genocidal experiments on unaware non-combatant civilians/citizens to our military and government investors while we hide in our offices and pleasure ourselves to the thought of mass human suffering and death!"
For a simple mercenary band, they are really well organized: They got M. Gutsy, Assaultrons and fucking Vertibirds. They have nice bases with generators in easily defendable places. Hell, if the Minutemen had half the wits of the Gunners, the Commonwealth would not need the Sole Survivor.
Ahox92 the gunners aren't retarded if their super organized with the equipment they have with all those robots they have at their hand and the weaponry the sometimes carry.

I'm a little curious why the brotherhood is the enemy for the minutemen in this dungeon and not synths and vice versa for the Railroad, you could be in good terms in the Brotherhood of Steel and side with the minutemen, but you can't be in good terms in the railroad ending.
Imagine finding this vault as the experiment was still going on and slowly realizing what was going on. You would then have the choice of helping the children escape or stopping the mutiny being planned.
Remember that Vault which produced trained killer kids who went on to become Talon Company in Fallout 3? No? Because there's no need to invent such an origin story for a trained merc group. The Gunners are not the kids from this Vault
Agreed

except that at the end of the experiment the entire original staff would have been dead and gone since they kept on being replenished by the smart children so they were all brainwashed at some point at least in reference to the final generation during the time of the revolt.
The true upland heroes
It is a shame you can't find like a group of vault tech scientist and guards still around and take a sledge hammer to them in the games.

It would be funny to have a random encounter that involved a gunner to yell “I’m am an Uptop land Hero!”
Brendan Folk that needs to happen lol
@@zzomb1al630 This sounds like the makings of a good tabletop/dice RPG campaign , tweaking the horrible murder out and playing the Uptopland angle honestly straight, with all players involved as just turning 18 heroes exposed to the surface for the first time.
Welcome to the WILD wasteland called uptop land
The gunners aren't the kids god damnit
That would be a space marine, and you would not be happy to meet a space marine if you are in gun range
Here's a thought... what if James (one of the boys that freed the children) was James your dad from fallout 3...? He did say he was from a vault once upon a time and he has shown very capable combat prowess and so did his son/daughter

I mean, for arguments sake, The Male Player Character was an actual pre-war military soldier, just like Roger Maxson(who started the Brotherhood of Steel, one of those big factions from a pretty small group of pre-war soldiers) so I’ve always had the mind-set that Nate was much more properly trained & already battle-hardened from his time in Alaska fighting the Chinese so I honestly think Nate & the BoS aren’t very different from one another anyway so he could definitely hold his own unless it’s like the full might of the BoS or some shit imo.
As for the Institute, seeing as the Player Character’s son is literally in-charge of the Institute, my thinking was Shaun could never bring the full might of the Institute down on him because it’s not like he didn’t know what anything about his parents, he’s kept tabs on them since becoming in-charge showing he obviously still cares for them in some capacity, so maybe part of Shaun cares more about his Mother/Father compared to the ideals/goals the Institute has brought him up on.
But I guess it just depends on which perspective you’re looking at it from. 🤷♂️

I stumbled upon Malden Middle school during my first ever playthrough of Fallout 4, about a month after the game was released. When I first saw the opening of the vault door, I was like, "WHOA! a Vault! I was totally not expecting this! What a great twist!" Alas, as time went on, and I delved deeper into the evil of the Vault's sick experiment, I left feeling deeply disturbed. I know the story, and I know it is a game, but that was the first and LAST time I ever went inside the Malden Vault 75. I just can't bring myself to venture through those haunted halls again.
When I went into vault 75 I broke down in tears

I would've preferred if the game started out this way! It may have felt too similar to the beginning of Fallout 3, but the story of this vault is very interesting.
It would explain how a lawyer (female survivor) is capable of wielding all sorts of weaponry.
that would be so cool, this is so much more interesting
The last Fallout(s) I played were 3 and New Vegas (mainly Fallout 3 for my 360). But ever since I've found this channel, he's got me very, very interested in playing Fallout 4. So, I stopped by GameStop after work, and bought a clean, used copy of this for a cool 6 bucks. Thanks to my own, and my best friend's (who's the Regional manager) discount. I think it was $16 or $17 used originally? I forget, oh well.
Anyway, I created a character to obviously look like me. A tall, black man with a beard, toned muscles, and glasses (since I can't see worth a damn without any). Now, I've been hooked and glued to my 60" playing this game almost nonstop for days. I've been enjoying this game so damn much ever since i popped in the disc. I even brought it to work. We literally have a PS2 & 4 in our employee lobby (I'm a Sr. IT and a Server/Network Engineer at a hospital). I literally watch through your FO4 Playlist, and do my own exploring per lore video.
Ok ok. Again, anyway, so I can finally shut up. Thank you for all the straight up awesome, absolutely wonderful, outstandingly great videos, man. You seriously do a perfect job at making each and every video feel like I'm watching a fictional tv series on episodes of "Fallout 4" in your own words. So, yeah. Thanks, Ox! I seriously appreciate your hard work and effort! Thumbs up, as always.
My apologies everyone for my long ass comment. So please excuse me. I got a little carried away.

B. There's a book called "Shade's Children" that's like this. In the book, everyone over the age of 15 disappeared and those who remained were taken in by these beings that came from another world. They trained and experiment on the kids until their birthdays and then... The kids are taken to a place called "The Meat Factory" and disassembled, made into creatures that the beings, Overlords, use in battles amongst themselves. And when the book starts, its been going on for fifteen years...some of the kids don't die. Those born near or after "The Change" have powers, and the lucky ones can use these powers to escape and fight back with a AI named Shade. Its actually a book I consider a favorite but the unease I felt in my gut during this video gives me the same feeling the book gave me the first time I read it
🤔 Sounds like a super interesting book!
this also reminds me of promised neverland kinda
I just reread that book. Yea it's rough, but very thought provoking and well written.
The vault itself is actually tiny but the sections are blocked off by doors that require authorization making it seem larger

When I stumbled into Vault 75, I was honestly so ecstatic and excited. I thought the only other Vaults in the game were 111, 114, 95, and that DLC and tbh I was kind of disappointed. 111 is our first and is just a tutorial run through, 114 was full of mobsters and had a pretty lame premise tbh, with the meeting of Nick Valentine being its best highlight. I was hoping for something a little more diabolical tbh and I felt like there were hardly any terminals explaining what went on during the vault's run. 95 was the best out of those 3 and made me feel like I was actually running through a vault.
And 88 was a massive disappointment. I love the workshops in Fallout 4 and have spent countless hours building settlements, but I wanted to explore a Vault, not build one! And I thought that was it. I thought those were allllll the vaults in the game. A Fallout game's not a Fallout game without Vaults, and the ones I had found were underwhelming.
But then I found 75 and DAMN this one is my favorite! It actually felt like a real vault where, as I progressed, I was uncovering its secrets through the terminals and environmental storytelling. I was so giddy walking through it! I just wish Fallout 4 had more like this

I love these lore stories you do of Fallout. It's so informative and it clears up something that seems clouded from said story.
Thank you so much for providing us all with these videos.
The story behind this Vault is both sad and interesting: sad that parents were killed; and interesting that kids were the principal vault dwellers. I loved when I discovered that target practicing area; that was a nice touch on Bethesda's part. I came here to collect my last bobblehead.
The Target pracice area reminded me of the first MIB movie.
There's already a Vault where the children are the only residents. All they have is a computer that acts as a nanny. It's out west. It's where Harold came from.
i know of little lamlight in FO3,but an actual vault? with a robo-nanny? what vault are you talking about?
Killing the kids who underperformed seems so wasteful, why wouldn't you just let them out into the wasteland? You'd be giving them a death sentence anyway, but then they have a shot. Besides that, it seems less likely someone would find something damning because there's less flat out murder. They could have used those who left to fetch supplies and such for the vault. That would add some major risks, but still.
So pointless.
Katt Raisor you seem like you have no grasp on how morals or trust decays in the nuclear wasteland. They killed the kids because vault Tec is evil, and their only goals were medical/scientific. Hence murdering all their parents at the start of everything. Sending underperforming kids out to potentially bring back an army of raiders would risk all vault Tec’s scientific work
Actually they probably killed them so that they didn't lead anyone back to the vault and compromise the experiment. Not hard to figure out is it?
SMBComix or use them to give the vault a security team
Ryan Shead its not like even if someone found the vault they still need to get past the security systems
Fire Sail - After they are set free to the outside world, nothing garantees they would continue with their "uptopland hero" mindset, they could very much turn against the vault or reveal its location to foreigners over time.
If they're kept at the inner entrance of the vault as guards, they wouldn't be of much use, just more mouths to feed and that would go against the promise of being "heroes of uptopland".
Not to mention the risks of having extremely strong genetically manipulated people (and now armed as they're guards) just hanging around you, having to follow your orders, if they start to question your authority, what could you do? Now that they're not captives in the lower floor, they have no reason to follow you other than pure doctrine, you don't pay them (they probably don't even know the concept of employment), you don't give them anything other than food. Mantaining control over people solely on ideology is a very fragile kind of power.
You could say that the security robots would be this second force to keep them in line, but then what's the point of having human guards in the first place if the bots could even kill superhumans.
Kid: "falls unconscious*
Scientist: KEEP RUNNING!!!
Yes that is how humans work
I feel like Charon from Fallout 3 was one of the children that got brainwashed in the vault and that’s why he is good at being a body guard and Azruchal(think I spelt his name wrong) bought his contract when he was old enough and strong enough. I mean I know that pretty much all the kids died, but still it makes some sense as to that he was brainwashed and all he really knows is to serve and kill

Hey, come to think of it, the premise behind this vault could actually be used as an intro to another Fallout game. Every main Fallout game with the exception of New Vegas has the player character starting out as a vault-dweller, so the precedent is definitely there.
Suppose, instead of killing the Uptopland Heroes and harvesting their organs, this particular vault really did sent them to the surface. This would explain how you have the combat skills despite living in a vault your whole life. The Uptopland Heroes would be one of the earliest factions you can join. Once on the surface, a citizen would mark on your map a prewar fort where the other Uptopland Heroes have set up base, which would be on par with the largest settlement in the game in terms of vendors and other services.
Raider bosses could be former Uptopland Heroes who were tempted to the raiders' life by power, wealth, and/or chems. These guys would have the same training and steroid enhancements as you do, which would qualify them as bosses.
Who else likes this idea?

@@namegoeshere5220 reminds me of Cave Johnson's, "science isn't about why, it's about why not!"
Wait. So vault tec thought they could make the perfect human with a starting population of 6!
Samuel Dimbylow Apparently it was actually working based on increased athletic abilities in the growing generations. If it would have kept going in such a rapid pace, the killint instinct could have been bred into their genetics which is stronger than the many goals they aimed to reach.
This was a genetic experiment. Not a breeding program. 6 is more than enough.
At least it's better then the new guardians from DC who tried to do the same thing with 5 people, and one of them was gay so more like 4 people.
They were essentially bred like cattle if think about it. More muscle cows each generation. Same probably for the kids. Breed each generation to build more muscle and become stronger. They'd harvest and artificially manufacture the next generation probably manipulating the next generation with the best genetics from previous generations. 6 would be enough because they weren't being bred naturally and the next generation improved upon the last. The cycle could go endlessly. However it's interesting intelligence was useless to the gene process though. They wanted strong stupid human beings. Probably the goal was creating obedient super soldiers. With most of these vaults it seems to be about creating a controlled society.

Having played FO 3 and 4 extensively, and thus seeing all the sicko stuff that Vault-Tec gets up to there, I would rate Vault 75 as one of their worst (a couple of FO3's Vaults run close behind , IMO).
I have to wonder if 'Choose-Your Atrocoty' was the very first step in Vault-Tec's Vault design / build process. Simply put:
VT Executive One" "Let's build a new Vault."
VT Executive Two "Sure thing. What sicko stuff will we do to the people in THIS one?".
VT Executive One: "I'm thinking of something involving kittens, basket weaving and flamethrowers. Definitely flamethrowers ..."
And so on.
I think vault 11 from either FO3 or NV was the worst

This vault sounds like a worse version of Spartan II training from Halo
that's what i thought
This is exactly where my mind went watching this.
I kinda agree with you, but there are some things to be brought up about the S-II training. First, when a kid died, they didn't hide it. It was practically in plain sight, so that probably didn't do any favors for the children's' morale and psyche. Second, the augmentations. While the physical strain these kids went through WAS horrible, the S-II augmentations had a EXTREMELY high chance of killing or crippling the augmentee. I will say this though, the Vault 75 training was REALLY close to being as bad as the S-II training.
Commander Jason S-II training wasn't inherently malevolent like this is
Maxwell M at least they let them protect and served the unsc and the ueg but the vault they murder their subjects
it's kind of happy ending for me the teenager successfully revolt by kill the scientists and free the other children to escape into the wasteland

The training of the children at Vault 75 is eerily similar to how the Nazis trained and used children and teenagers, especially boys, in their "NAPOLA" and "Adolf Hitler Schulen". Both were schools established after Hitler and his NSDAP rose to power and dreamt of creating superior humans for their Thousand Year Reich. Young boys were drilled at the earliest possible age, were trained to view sympathy and compassion as detestable weaknesses and that were to be punished. And under no circumstances were they to show compassion towards those deemed inferior racially.
The Nazis didn't experiment on them, but their training was harsh, brutal and even deadly. They wanted fanatically loyal and superior soldiers as the elite for their empire. Of those who trained at the "NAPOLA" schools, over half would die in the war, wasted as a last resort to stem the tide and beat hold off an inevitable defeat.
Corristo89 it reminds me of their training too
I was also reminded of this! And of the fact that the socalled "experiments" performed by Nazi doctors like Mengele usually didn't even produce any data, because the experimental designs were a) mere excuses to be cruel and b) based on incorrect, ideologically based theories.
Another example of Bethesda taking terrible events from real history and reimagining them in the world of the game. This is an especially awful one, but things this bad and worse have indeed happened in real life. It feels different to play through it than to read about it!
There's some events missed in here. The Overseer mentioned that there was a fire in the archives which made the researchers transcribe paper copies. Then Washington's terminal says that he lost some important notes down the vent, which were fished out by the kid Rohit. Rohit and James probably used it put together the pieces, then pretended to be docile to get onto the research team, pulled a bunch of strings in secret, and finally led the teenagers in successful rebellion.
Honestly it sort of makes sense that the Vault dwellers made up or created the gunners. I mean what would super soldiers who believed they were meant to protect the civilians of the wasteland do. Probably start a mercenary group of course also it has been a long time since I have played fallout 4 but I remembered a dilapidated sign in the shooting range that said GNR which is Galaxy News Radio and What I speculate to be where the name gunners came from. Or maybe I am just desperate to find a conclusion
you said that they were basically enhancing everything about the kids so they could become special soldiers. sounds like halo to me
"Promise Neverland" is lit in this video
>kid didn't know got experiment
>Tell story outside world is good but it isn't
>kid become 'Stock' to some scientist
>found out if they didn't escape, they will die
>Planning to escape.
>All the planning to escape and struggle.
>Fighting their way out and escape
>Survive the outside world.
I'm pretty sure this game came out years before Neverland was even a thing.
@@Mahoromatic That's the point, maybe the editor got inspired it from here I guess
That vault story changed everything I thought of vualttech
"An Uptopland Hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero, then just follow me."
Why does "Working Class Hero" (Green Day version) fit this well?
Come to think of it, "Headful of Ghosts" by Bush seems to fit the Robobrains, given their backstory.
I know you probably won't read this but ive been really sick recently(Something with my kidney) but your videos on fallout have given me a great series to watch. Thank you and please keep making content
24:35 Killing the parents, incinerating the failures, going until the kids DIED and murdering the successes was entirely unnecessary.
However, I don't see much reason why they couldn't have made the STATED goal for the vault (producing heroes for uptopland) into the actual goal. Train children from birth to be fighters, in a pseudo-spartan system and then a generation or three down the line, start releasing new graduates into the capital wasteland to try and 'tame' it. Like Washington noted, doing so would allow them to gain critical supplies and improve the training of the kids in the vault. Over time they would grow into their own faction within the Wasteland. It would take a lot longer to produce the perfect human genome, but if it's done more morally, I don't see that as a bad thing.
One could argue that the Spartan system was also morally f#$@ed and you'd be correct, but A) it would be a heck of a better sight than what we got here, and B) I didn't say to copy it exactly.
I definitely agree with you, they could still harvest sperm and eggs from the graduates for a new generation (though maybe they harvested the hormones and such from the brains?), that way they wouldn't have to worry about losing future candidates.
That said, perhaps the concern was that with outside contact, scientists and graduates would realize just how fucked the vault was, and the experiment would end, possibly with these graduates coming back and slaughtering the science team.
Lol you guys saw the fallout 3 reference at 12:33
The name ''Gary'' appears many times all over the commonweath, mostly in vaults.
I mean they were all technically cloned
Missed it.
This vault reminds me a lot of the Giver. You know, how people would be "released" from the Community and they would actually be killed?
Great commentary on the experiment. Definitely one of the darkest Vault-Tec tests going. Gave the story great depth and justice, pleasure to listen. It's up there with Vault 11 I reckon (that one was properly GRIM!).
I was MORTIFIED, having stumbled upon this vault. Amp it up a couple *more* notches by the fact that I normally play without the soundtrack! Those poor babies...I'm glad the story seems to come right around, ominous tone or not.
Minus the intentional murder, this really reminds me of the Spartan two project. Anybody else?
Yes
In one of the bedrooms some building blocks say Gary which means one of the Fallout 3 Gary clones from Vault 108 escaped and made it to Vault 75
Probably not that, most likely a reference to fallout 3 by the developers.
seems like if vault tec had their way they'd resemble something similar to that of the Alien armada of XCOM 1& 2 very advanced plenty of knowledge and tech so devoid of compassion any sense of mercy is merely and abstract absurdity if its even a thought atall
Come to think of it, each Vault's story can be a movie. I'd LOVE to watch a movie about this vault in particular!
almost the same story of how halo Spartans came to be except parents were killed. Edit also the Spartans didn't get killed if they got upgraded
"And up to two of their parents..."
*How many am I supposed to have?*
A trans non-binary pan-exclusionist , trans exclusionary radical feminist gender pan-fluid parental unit
@ITS YA BOI MIKE WAZOWSKI Don't tell me you have a parent like that
@ITS YA BOI MIKE WAZOWSKI XD I guess it's hard to tell anymore
You know, when i watch a video like this. Made with obvious passion and caring for this game and its extensice. I am just so glad that Oxhorn has gone through so much trouble to find out these stories! I visited this vault myself anf had my own guesses, but like most people i didnt find all the notes or terminals. Thank you Oxhorn!!
Seems like they were looking for A Promised Neverland
Thinking the same thing
This is just fucked up.
It's the Vault-tec way. :)
Sith'ari Azithoth
Except vault tec isn't the government. The reason they were ABLE to do these experiments is because in a post apocalyptic world, vault tec was unchecked by any authority.
Besides, if we look at it outside of the narrative, this is a post apocalyptic game. That setting comes first, the stories come second. To discuss that they didn't need to the nuclear war to carry these experiments out is nonsensical. If there was no apocalypse, there would be no game, thus no vault tec. Your grievance seems a bit nit picky and slightly retarded.
They are government contractors, so while they arent the government per say, they still work for them.
I only happened across this vault in a recent play through and I found it so disturbing but brilliant at the same time. Well explained as usual ox
Watching this made me think...with the perfect DNA from here and FEV...I'm starting to see method in vault techs madness!
"kids u must become kirito" lmao
5:08
The tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?
hey you can find blocks of wood spelling out the name gary many times over, in hard to see spots... :D
tecroach Damn! Thought I was one of the only ones to find this, it brings a strange link to the cloning vault in Fallout 3... I wonder if there’s anymore links?
I'm watching this for the first time and I had a thought: Could the James from here be the same James that one day fathers the Lone Wanderer? Even if not considered one of the brighter kids amongst geniuses, he probably still has a decent intellect; he's certainly smart enough to help in a revolt, and probably became a doctor/scientist later on 😀
and what about the james that took his place? could he be a Synth in disguise?
The overseer wasn’t crying anymore at the end. Your welcome for helping clear uptopland.
the road to hell is paved with good intentions
I don't even give them that much credit to say their intentions were good.
@@troodon1096 "Good intentions"...Vault Tec hears this phrase and thinks to itself "Oh goody, now we can justify performing completely insane, unethical, potentially-genocidal experiments on unaware non-combatant civilians/citizens to our military and government investors while we hide in our offices and pleasure ourselves to the thought of mass human suffering and death!"
Some people think this was the birthplace of the gunners
gunners are hardly superhuman, they're basically retarded
Gunners are just raiders with better equipment. That is all. This is more for Talon Company
For a simple mercenary band, they are really well organized: They got M. Gutsy, Assaultrons and fucking Vertibirds. They have nice bases with generators in easily defendable places.
Hell, if the Minutemen had half the wits of the Gunners, the Commonwealth would not need the Sole Survivor.
Ahox92 the gunners aren't retarded if their super organized with the equipment they have with all those robots they have at their hand and the weaponry the sometimes carry.
Gunners are raiders with good guns
I’ve actually stopped looking at the terminals in locations like this. After I finish a location (I did this one last night) I just look up your videos and get the lore without actually having to read it. it’s a big time saver, thx
I don’t know if I should be mad at Vault-Tec or Bethesda. That whole story is on a whole new universe of just *W R O N G*
@@dannyluciano1 you clearly don't know what good parenting is if you let you kids play fallout. Anyway, basically no one actually reads the lore, most people are here to shoot at deathclaws with a laser gatling and a power armor
@@dannyluciano1 So we shouldn't teach kids about Nazis either? What if one of them tries to do what hitler did?
See how stupid that sounds?
Exposing kids to something isn't gonna lead them to do that thing if they were raised with legitimate morals/personal codes. I played *a lot* of call of duty as a kid, doesn't mean I want to shoot actual people
I'm a little curious why the brotherhood is the enemy for the minutemen in this dungeon and not synths and vice versa for the Railroad, you could be in good terms in the Brotherhood of Steel and side with the minutemen, but you can't be in good terms in the railroad ending.
Imagine finding this vault as the experiment was still going on and slowly realizing what was going on. You would then have the choice of helping the children escape or stopping the mutiny being planned.
Where did all these kids go once they escaped the vault?
Mackbros There's a theory that they became the Gunners, and it kind of makes sense.
Mackbros or there dead
they died dude
