If you could create a Fallout Vault experiment, what would you do?

[SomeBritishDude]

I'd lock a 1000 cats in my vault and leak radiation into the food and water and see what we had when the vault was opened. We'd either get Cat from Red dwarf, or scary ass mutated saber tooths.

Or just dead cats.

This is the Fallout universe we're talking about. Only half of everything dies, the other half mutates.

Point taken.

I'm gonna eat you little fishy...

I would see the effects of first dividing the people into factions at the brink of war and then arming them and killing the faction leaders.

999 Men and 1 young girl. That's right: I'm a horrible human being.

I'd design a vault that actually works

 

[nightsaber]

All the vault people play portal until they have completed the game. Then are put in a Vault with no weapons, but a real Glados, and a companion cube.

100 Vault Dwellers. 5 Deathclaws would be in the Vault. They would be domesticated pets for the Dwellers. 5 more Deathclaws, the killer kind, would be released after 10 years. The Dwellers would either slaughter the whole Deathclaw population out of fear or be slaughtered themselves.

Or they would convince the domesticated Deathclaws to kill the rabid ones

fill the vault with dogs,cats,people and super mutants. implant a chaos meter and when its full we will open the vault and see who wins. who is alive unforchanetly will be killed by auto turrets!

 

[The_Chief]

300 people in one vault. then after the first 5 years, every 6 months 100 people press a button on a board of 100. 33 of those buttons kill every one of their relatives.

 

[Saylek]

A vault with the wallpaper as lolcats.

I'll give them two weeks.

you cant imagine how long i was laughing?smiling?chuckling for...god *wipes tear* urgh that was random.
hi5! to you my good sir.

i would.... make a giant maze and hidden in each part of the maze would be a toilet, fridge, bed, etc,etc. the lights turn on for 1 second every 1 minute... lets see how long the 30 people survive in there. ill be watching and eating popcorn from camera room. oh the lols

It must have been suggested already, but...

Take a bunch of die-hard 360 owners who are addicted to Halo / CoD / Gears of War / Any "Real is Brown Ultraviolence" shooter you care to name.

The only source of entertainment in the Vault is Wii Sports.

 

[Wargamer]

Make an all male and all female vaults and see how long each gender can survive without reproduction.

One generation.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Needless to say.

vault 13: all types of metal are played constantly (but not to the extent that everyone goes deaf)

Vault 13 already exists - someone never played Fallout 1.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

The experiment with Bunker 43 was that a Goat was made overseer, and the security staff had strict instructions to protect him. The Bunker was also home to a Hei Gui stealth suit, and one man who really hated goats...

We wrote a few of these a while back.

 

[That One Six]

Put in two groups in a virtual war-zone (ie Americans v French). Give them laser-rifles and enough food to last until Vault opened. Let's see who wins!

 

[Wargamer]

Suppose this one has to be pitched...

SYNOPSIS: There is a large button in public display. Place considerable amounts of material stressing, very clearly, that NOTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN if the Button is pressed.

The Button is behind bullet-proof glass. Two years in, the glass automatically removes itself.

HYPOTHESIS: The presence of the Button, combined with the extreme propaganda of "nothing bad will happen", will most likely convince people something bad WILL happen. The button shall therefore be kept off-limits.


SYNOPSIS: As above, but the Button causes the entire Vault to self-destruct, killing all inhabitants.

HYPOTHESIS: I give it a week.

 

[DuplicateValue]

For thoughs who don't know, in Fallout several vaults where invented to keep people safe after the bombs fell. However, many of them were instead used for weird twisted experiments with the inmates. For instance, there was a vault in Fallout 3 full of nothing but Clones of this guy called Gary.

If you could design a vault experiment what would you do?

I'd lock a 1000 cats in my vault and leak radiation into the food and water and see what we had when the vault was opened. We'd either get Cat from Red dwarf, or scary ass mutated saber tooths.

Where's the vault with the clones? I haven't come across it...

The Best Scientists And Best Remaining Artists In Vault 1337
They will have everything they need
They will work on bringing back the Singers who have Died(Andrew Wood, Layne Staley, Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, ect)

yes but dont bring back axl rose

 

[LockHeart]

I'd tamper with the holovid and intercom system so that whenever someone decides to watch a film or listen to the radio, hell, take any action whatsoever (i.e. opening a door) there's a chance that they'll be Rickrolled via a projector or the radio in their PipBoy.

I expect either an incredibly insular population or a society of paranoid schizophrenics to come about rapidly.
