Forum:Adaption: should it have occurred?

Once again I was pondering on something that I noticed in the game. I was watching the f2 opening sequence (advertising the geck, etc) When the 'severe eye damage may occur' made me think about fallout 3. Vault 101 has been shut for around 200 years with periods of opening for trading or whatever. Over the course of 200 years, could the citizens eyes eventually adapt to the darkness(i'm not saying the citizens are 200years old either). Also could the lone wanderer have sustained 'severe eye damage' after living in a vault for 19 years. Please keep it civil, don't flame or any of that shit. Lord Snip. 09:07, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

They very well would have adapted as i'm sure that the longer you stay in the darkness, the more your sight adjusts to their conditions. also the lone wanderer could have suffered severe eye damage as coming out of a dark location for 19 years and going into the sun would mean your eyes aren't used to bright lights. this is also shown after you leave the vault as the screen goes bright and slowly fades back in so you can see the wastes.

The Vault lights do emit the same conditions as the sun, as I have heard. Sun lights! They probably are actually really dark, and the residents DID adapt. But it has only been 200 years. No changes to the human body could occur in such a short time period. So when the Lone Wanderer leaves the Vault, his/her body gets a blast of reality, and his/her body adjusts. Hooz

After 200 years no evolutionary/ adaptation would be able to take place. Now mutation that's a yes. That's something betheseda should have been incorporated more. 19 years underground the pupils may not be used to the natural sun, but that's why Vault Tec included Sun lights/lamps.Doctalen 03:12, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
