Forum:Possible flaw in the fallout 3 story line.

please correct me if im wrong here the great war was in 2076 right, and the lone wanderer from vault 101 was born in 2258 (due to the fact that he was 19 when he escaped the vault). so all the vaults were to be shut during or before the great war began. so how on earth did the lone wanderer get into vault 101 when it was supposed to be shut forever. considering that the lone wanderer was born in the anchorage memorial or washington memorial (i get confused). so how did he get into a vault that was supposed to be shut for ever and only openable from the inside??

Partial Answer:The lone wanderer was born in the lower levels of the Jefferson Memorial. When his mother died James (the lone wanderer's father) took the infant lone wanderer and left for Vault 101. If you hack into Moriarty's computer there is an entry that describes you and your father passing through on the way to vault 101. The vaults were not designed to be closed forever. When leaving vault 101, there are entries from the prior Overseer who allowed surveying missions of the wasteland. So Vault 101 was opened several times before James entered it. The hints are scattered throughout the story line. Also Moria states she got the Armored 101 suit from a young lady who never came back for it.Kingclyde 21:52, 9 March 2009 (UTC)KingClyde

The Overseer needed a doctor, which is why he let James in. DipCheese 07:35, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

The vault 101 was design to tell people that it suppose to seal forever, but for vault tech, it's just a research to see how people inside react over time in a sealed isolated environment. Of course it is not design to be sealed forever, it's just a lie. So it doesn't surprise me that Jame can go in and out freely providing with his imba surviving skill.
