So I've played Fallout 3 and new Vegas and I'm not sure if I missed it but my question is:
Is every who we see throughout the Fallout games and I mean every single person you meet in the wasteland FROM A VAULT?
Well I'm sure a lot of people survived the atomic blast by hiding in their own shelter or building or cave and repopulated the world but I wondering if like 50% or 90% of the world population in Fallout is from a Vault??
-
Not everyone. Some survivors like some of the ghouls in The Underworld survived by taking shelter in the metro tunnels, or similar underground shelters, and the brotherhood of steel in the west descend from US army personnel stationed at Mariposa military base, not a vault.
-
In new vegas you're not from a vault
-
I don't think so, vaults were for important people.
-
Actually only very few are from vaults. Only a hand full of Vaults were specifically built for protection against nuclear fallout. Most were experiment conducted by Vault Tech. This is were Super mutants come from and why most of the vaults you explore have so much -blam!-ed up shit in them.
-
Vault 69;) Look it up
-
Tbh, depending on the location, it's probably not even 10%, at least for Fallout 3 anyway. For New Vegas however it's a little different, seeing as most of the descendents of NCR citizens came from Vaults, so it's probably more like 30-40% of the population, including the tourists and soldiers, this was only because the vaults on the western coast were more successful.
-
They're the doomsday preppers
-
No, we see many who survived the blast and built little refuges in the wasteland
-
Probably not. Some people probably took shelter in old military bunkers or other makeshift shelters, but most turned into ghouls. How most remained human, I don't know
-
Was the vault in NV with all the plants an expermiment, or did the plants just break in on their own?
-
I guess they enabled noclip with TGM :l Filthy commands.
-
Negative. Most are people were outside and just happend to make it. Others with extreme radiation turned Into ghouls.
-
No not all, some people survived outside of it, but they mingled with others as the vaults started to open.
-
What are you talking about practically no one is from a vault

Edited by CallMeBeach: 7/2/2015 3:34:47 PMVaults were simply social experiments for Vault-Tec, for example Vault 69 was 999 females and only 1 male. Most vault dwellers died as the experiment basically doomed them, very few people you find in the wasteland are from a vault hence why in 3 they're quite suprised [i]another[/i] vault dweller made it out.

Edited by mrxcrom: 7/2/2015 12:09:18 AMThere are 122 vaults that can hold 1000 occupants at one time. The U.S. Government in fallout requested 400,000 vaults for 400 million people that means at least 399,878,000 people were left to mercies of the soon to be wasteland at the time of the Great War. Many of these people would die between 2077 and the current time in the fallout universe whether their cause of death be by the many cruelties that lurk in the wasteland or by falling victim to false advertisement and being assigned to a vault designed to fail and to perpetuate the madness of the old world with their social experiments to put it lightly, humanity's legacy of destruction and insanity would eventually find its way into some of the most civil of establishments in the wastes or in the vaults. With some colonies wiped off the face of what remains by the leftovers of old world's war and others in disarray due to the new freedoms granted by the destruction of the old world order, civilization was scarce but still existent and where it could be found it thrived and reproduced. To answer your question, there are probably more people in the waste than those who come from vaults but that comes with the assumption that more people survived in the waste than in the vaults.

No. The majority are from other survivors.

Edited by Cheesy: 7/2/2015 12:10:43 AMNo. Many people survived the nuclear fallout; some areas of the United States were not even hit by the nukes. Many people who survived outside the vaults are ghouls now. [quote]if like 50% or 90% of the world population in Fallout is from a Vault??[/quote] No, Vault-Tec created the Vaults we know today only in America.

Edited by AnDreason4511: 7/1/2015 10:36:56 AMYes people survived without going in vaults and they are ghouls now.
-
Well in both games it's been around 200 years after the atomic bomb went of so most people are dead but a lot are probably descendants of the original vault dwellers
-
Not everyone. There are a few cases, Brotherhood of Steel for one, that were in isolated places when the bombs went off. Some people survived, some turned into ghouls.
-
I don't think so. A lot of the vaults were experiments that got the dwellers killed. So some may be from the descendants of vault dwellers but most probably found other ways to survive.
-
Cept ghouls
-
The vaults were a "Joke" of sorts nobody actually thought nuclear war was possible they were to implemented to keep the public "Happy" and even then Vault Tec was part of a military contract so in most cases the origins of the enclave had a say in turning them into social experiments not safe houses, the few vaults with people who survived such as Vault 15 (NCR's Original Vault) only survived due to extraordinary people such as the vault dweller the man who found a water purifier and other such cases, but yes many people did survive outside of vaults such as people who were in isolated places in the wilderness or just got plain lucky like the Brotherhood of steel who were the remnants of a air force base who had no government to follow.
