Forum:Redundancy of Vault Experiments?

Before the War, the US Government assigned each Vault an Experiment. But why? What exactly are they going to gain from the experiments, and why will it matter when the Vaults will likely destroy themselves, and if Nuclear War happens and noone can use the experiment data?

What on Earth will they gain from mostly vain experiments? And most of the experiments seem useless. Undead Hat 17:27, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

The US governments true plan for surviving a nuclear holocaust was the Enclave. While some of the experiments were in fact for gathering data for the Enclave, the rest were just (for lack of a more sanitized term) shits and giggles. --Fezgod 22:58, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

I think the experiment had a major uniting theme: most of them seem to be testing methods of controlling the populace.--OvaltinePatrol 02:35, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

When I read about the Enclave's super experiment to send people to a different planet, I lost almost all of my respect for the old Fallouts right then and there. However I have cooked up my own story that satisfies my curiosity. Why did RobCo partner up with Vault-Tec? I think it's because House wanted access to the experimental data that fuels is 'out-of-his-ass' percentage statistics, like the one about suicide probabilities. I think it would be really cool if they made a character who's sole purpose was to gather information from the Vaults, to prevent humanity from being ignorant about human nature. Who knows?--98.243.106.164 21:26, November 4, 2011 (UTC)
