Oxhorn you can actually cure yourself and Austin if your pickpocketing skill is high enough to steal the cure back from the doc without getting caught he still finishes the animation and cures the boy and you still have one you can use on yourself

[@halfdemon43]

For that matter, you can just duplicate the cure. Ox goes with lore. "There's only 1 in the universe " is the way the story goes and oxhorn stuck to it. Besides, it makes the dungeon more fun with the "one hit and fail " consequence, But thats just my opinion.

"So, if only to report my findings, Curie has been a remarkable success." Whoever was in charge of designing the story of all of vault 81 is great. This line always hits me so hard. I fucking love this game.

[@eden20111]

I honestly felt bad for the scientists.. I’d like to think that over the years they would realize what they were gonna do was wrong. I mean it sucks they have to be trapped in there but at least they had food to last them their whole lives. I find it heartfelt the scientists never turned on one another. They worked together in peace and continued their research without the need for human test subjects. True they couldn’t complete their research, but Collins made sure that Curie would continue on their research to find the Cure. And she did. When Curie is on the surface she mentions how she wished Collins were able to see this with her. I almost shed a tear.

[@Corristo89]

Finding out that an Overseer who hadn't lost his/her (can't remember) humanity saved thousands of people from being used as lab rats really adds a whole new perspective to the Vaults in general. Imagine how many people would've had much better lives if more Overseers had acted against the plan Vault Tec had set in motion. One brave Overseer stopped the experiment from ever starting and thousands of people were able to not only survive, but also live relatively normal lives in peace.

[@spookysalad5104]

Corristo89 true

[@joeb9645]

I think this would have be a true anomaly though, Vult Tec would have extremely thorough in finding Overseerers that would do what was needed in these kinds of experiments. Like how the scientists were doing their jobs, they would find and make absolutely sure that the Overseer would embody the spirit of Vult Tec/Enclave. But when they had to fall back on backup Overseer (that may very well have been properly vetted for a different vault experiment, and willing went along with that one), the plan fell to pieces.

It cost me 5 hours to understand how mole rats can teleports from behind me and how to protect me with it. Tips: bring fragmentation mines, A FUCKING LOT OF THEM. Land mines behind at dirt spot - where mole rats can teleport to. Use shotgun, fragmentation mines and hole a lot of nuka cola to refresh AP and use VATS continuously.

Lorenzo's artifact is highly recommended in this hidden Vault 81, because only this weapon can blow up the molerats hiding underground with its special explosion. A never ending effect is also highly recommended.

[@aslilyum]

A bit completion; not when you get bit by these molerats, but when your companion (be that robot, synth or supermutant) gets bit (and it's hard, cuz they automaticly go fighting) you get it too. I realized it, when I loaded back for the 10x time, when Codsworth attacked the molerats instantly I got it too. Oh and when you hack the protectron and they fight molerats, you get it that way too. So it's the best when you go in there without a companion or don't let them get in contact with the molerats :D

[@metalchono]

At this point, I'm wondering whether Vault Tech had some sort of Vault Mainframe to know what is really going on on each of their experiments. Of course, I disagree with most of their experiments, but I think that is pointless to have all of these horrible experiments going on and no direct way to monitor them. Maybe, they have some sort of bank data at each vault and somehow, after time has passed, Vault tech recovered their research. But I end with a feeling that something else is missing on Vault Tech lore. Not to be blamed to Ox, of course, but I have the feeling that something is going on.

[@Garouwerks]

When I got to reading all the stories of the vaults, and Vault Tech (VT), I came up with the same thoughts. In FO76, the Overseer mentions needing VT to tell her WHEN to open 76. Also, there are satellites still working 25 years after the War. Again FO76 shows this with the BOS line. I always thought that House invented Their "internet". Wasn't as sophisticated as Our internet in anyway-shape-or-form, but they have/had one. House knows too much IMO; especially for a man in a big ole pod. Also you find out that 2 of the A.I's are communicating (Again in FO76). And it appears that one of them is gaining "emotions". That I think also plays into the VT happenings. MODUS in 76 really rounds this idea out (IMO). So to not carry on too long.. yeah, I agree.. VT is very much in charge of these horrible happenings, as is the Enclave. -shudder-

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

mhe ,feels more like a case of coperate doctrine irl across the fourth wall aka ''Vault tech = desturbing deception & unethical expermitations..but aas its contrived 'status' the reasons becomes increasingly Ironic in each game''..like this Vault ,Desease..is not some static thing the idea of making a cure for 'evry' one possible is silly. since well basicly the sort of hardware and preperations any organisation would need to have to maintain controll or at minimum secure 'black boxes' from so many so resource intensive experiments in the face of the sort of 'exuse' to round up and Isolate people aka world wide nuke war...would be Equal to have a space fleet in orbit and moonbase maintance Fortress base or such aka...whats the point ? since at that stage they culd used the resurces spent on deception for the vaults on having a bigger fleet ready for the 'post war' world ripe to be Counqerd and turned into ther own giant Lab.

[@fumarc4501]

I made a vault experiment where the vault suits were defective and over time would fall apart. How would people preserve their modesty or would they embrace a nudist mindset? That, then let loose a live hungry mountain lion every few months from a hidden cloner.

[@metalchono]

I guess that the main question in everyone's mind is Why, Why make all of these experiments on an already harsh environment, where chances of human survival are minimal? Because not all of these experiments are scientifically based (The vault with the drugs and the guns comes to my mind), but some are social experiments... and fine, maybe our society does social experiments as well, but with the consideration that the "sample" is much smaller than the overall population of humans in the world and those results can be applied for something useful... while here, the answer seems blank. And ok. Maybe, these experiments are "designed" for a "corrupted social universe" (which seems to be the case in almost every story of the Fallout world) and "to test the behavior on a harder environment for unexpected results", but since there are no other humans that can benefit from it, I'm actually starting to consider that VT was founded by aliens.

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

thats basicly the core question since they easely could have saved the resources wasted in the unavoidble controll loss or experiment failures of % vaults to increase ther chances to secure the intire dam planet post war...so ye ,thats actully one of few 'plots' that would work and not reduce cault tech to a pointless 'bad thing' in the fallout universe aka ..aliens...trying to 'sabotage' humanity or something such XD @@metalchono

This vault really impressed me! I have never been so touched by a vault from the Fallout universe! The first thing you get to see in the vault is this fully functional vault that seems to be untouched by Vault-Tec’s foul experiments. After doing some questing and going back and forth between the vault and the entrance i had gotten the miscellaneous quest that Austin had gotten sick. The eerie scene that’s only present in that secret part of vault 81 for some reason really touched me and got me engaged in finding out what the hell even was going on in there. The moment when i found those lockers i thought it was odd for two of them to have skeletal remains, the other an empty vase and 3 Vault-Tec lab coats on top of them but it was only until i read the terminal that was assigned to Curie that i realised what had actually happened in that part of the vault. At first i thought (but i might have read it wrong) that Dr. Flint and Dr. Collins had died to end their suffering by Dr. Burrows and that he had requested Curie to cremate him but holy shit did that scene hit me! This is no doubt my favorite vault in the whole game! What? In the whole Fallout franchise! Bethesda has really outdone themselves with this one if you ask me!

[@thesupersonicstig]

Yes, the ones in charge of the stories are amazing. The game devs, however....

[@jakeborduin4578]

My decision was to use the double cure exploit, because despite never getting hit by any of the mole rats, I contracted the disease. Turns out there was (likely still is?) a bug that causes you to get infected by the disease if the mole rats manage to hit *anyone*, including the robots in the area. Thanks Bethesda! Hardly surprising since a lot of the quests tied to that area have major spaghetti code going on.

Spock meant something very different. It was his way of justifying killing himself so that everyone else on the ship would live. He never meant that a whole society should let the smaller group die for the benefit of the larger. Especially since, as a Vulcan with a Human mother, he is part of a minority group himself. And in the story arc that they formed out of that, the next episode has Kirk showing one of his best friends that sometimes, the needs of a minority, in this case one person, can be more important than the larger group. It was Trek's way of showing that numbers alone do not determine whose needs should be addressed.

[@KimberlyKjellberg]

I play on PC and just add an extra cure with console commands, it's really hard to avoid. Some say that you get it even if it's your companion that gets bitten. But even without extra cure it's not that bad, first time I took me days to realize that I had it, I must either have missed the notice or it didn't pop up. I didn't really notice any change until I checked "Show effects" under status in my Pip-boy. It annoyed me but I could played the rest of the game without really noticing much change.

[@mikoto7693]

This was a re-upload? Interesting. In my games, I'm always very careful to ensure that my Sole Survivor doesn't get bitten by mole rats. Its blatantly unfair that power armour doesn't protect you as physics dictate that it should. (You know, thick metal that can't be bitten through, and resists most radiation and stuff?) I also think its very unfair that the molerat disease can't be cured. I think it should be, even if the recipe for the cure is very difficult to do with a lot of rare chems and components. We shouldn't be stuck with the results of something we didn't even know we had. (As I did in my very first playthrough. I assumed logical was in play and my power armour prevented infection.) I usually have to save every time I kill a mole rat or group of them, and reload at least three or four times when they overwhelm and bite her anyway. But eventually my SS does make it to Curie, recruits her and gives her cure to Austin without any downsides.

[@TheTheJimJim]

It is even worse if you avoid getting bitten but you have a companion with you that does get bitten. You will end up with the mole rat disease, which just makes the whole thing ridiculous.

[@dongadson1099]

That as well as being a lone traveller and not being bitten and still getting the disease by way of what seemed to be proximity.

I have to admit I was really fascinated by the story of the vault, the decision of the first overseer, the story of Burrow, Collins and Flint, The story of how Curie development that personality and how the Vault exist to the time of fallout 4 and interact with the people of the commonwealth

[@rhydsnow851]

Well, you did it Oxhorn. You finally made me buy and download Fallout 4, after so many years. Well played!

[@ceoatcrystalsoft4942]

What did it cost?

[@lostbutfreesoul]

Reload or not, I am still pointing out the red flag within: It only takes 30 or so minutes for an ICBM to hit a target the other side of the world, reconfirmed by military outposts within Fallout's universe. Now flick to the 9 minute mark of this video and read the entry.... time frame does NOT match up. What did Rosario know HOURS before the missiles could even be launched?

[@Wastingsometimehere]

This seems like a lore "woopsie" but the suggestion that Vault Tec knew about the nukes is a legit theory.

[@nathandc]

Or even launched the bombs themselves

[@gbaboy313]

Well, the Fallout series suggests that Vault-Tec instigated the Great War themselves in order to ensure that their investments into creating the vaults paid off. Plus the news from before the bombs dropped indicated that peace talks were breaking down and escalation seemed inevitable, so it might be possible that The Enclave gathered Intelligence that China was in the process of preparing to escalate and warned Vault Tec to begin calling in the staff for the vaults and moving in the residents, or The Enclave told Vault-tec that they were intending to escalate to nuclear war and ordered them to activate the vaults

[@bradamerin8469]

Hey Oxhorn, I usually listen to your videos and I personally find it more enjoyable when you read test from notes and terminals word for word, and when you exhaust every piece of audio that can be found in a vault. I have hundreds of hours in the Fallout game, but I consume your videos to see or hear things I may have missed. Just a note from a dedicated fan, I love all of your Fallout videos!

(Upper floor of vault 81) “Heard Austin got bit by a mole rat (or something like that) Me: “I don’t care the cats more important”

[@edmartin875]

LOL. Typical cat lover. The world could die but a happy cat is the important event.

[@mikefm4]

I came across 81 a few days ago and have been in it since. It’s weirdly refreshing to be inside a vault full of people in good shape. Reminds me of the pre war world. I’ll be back to the cw soon enough but I definitely think 81 will become my new home base

[@adammorse9153]

Olivette the Overseer of vault 81 is one of the greatest unsung heroes in the Fallout Universe. Doing her best in the face of absolute evil.

[@betterthanthatvideo]

if you drop it when you do Dr.whoever's last dialogue option and pick it up after you save auston you can use it on yourself and it wont glitch the game where it makes the vault dwellers think you didnt save him if you were wondering

[@tezlaactual6582]

If I remember right, if you do the Cabot quest line and side with Lorenzo you can use the mysterious sirum as well

[@katiem7715]

Love of your read the actual terminal and then give your commentary after. Not just your summary. You did this with FO3 and I loved you did that. I play on a PS3, and it’s hard to read those. I really like how you’d read what was actually written and many times hearing you giggle at some of the silliness.

[@dathunderman4]

It’s also important to know that you can get the mole rat disease if your companion gets it, as well as the protectron that’s nearby. I personally played this on survival difficulty, which means I couldn’t save and the closest restart I got was from diamond city. So what I did was just have my companion wait outside, refuse to activate the protectron, popped some orange mentats to get a crazy VATs accuracy boost, and killed all of the mole rats. I think VATs accuracy in particular is very important for this level because the mole rats are extremely fast and come at you from all directions from under the ground

[@edmartin875]

My clouded mind means my age is catching up with me. I kept getting lost in Vault 81. It seemed like I spent hours running around looking for the Dr.'s office, the market, or Bobby, etc. Therefore I found this experience unpleasant, to say the least. The good things that came out of this experience was I didn't get bit, Austin got cured, and Curie became my companion. I sure wish I had seen this video before entering the vault. Your usual great job Oxhorn. Thank you very much.

[@dieSpinnt]

“Don’t grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many outweigh . . .” Kirk finishes for him, “The needs of the few.” Spock replies, “Or the one.” Besides this is illogical, it further has only moral value if it starts from those who voluntarily sacrifice themselves for a larger whole. It can never be forced by a third party on others without loosing the small extent of ethic benefit that is behind that allegory. Again, the ultimate evil is shown in the form of "Vault Tec" with this perverted twisting of Mr. Spock's wording. O.k. nowadays that's nothing against "16 times the detail" by Todd Howard:)

in the game I gave the cure to the kid and then I prayed real hard to the user to provide me with another one.... The world got really silent and all of a sudden the world paused half of the world seemed to disappear and strange letters started to appear in the sky and suddenly a vial appeared right by my feet.... strange

[@mitchellcrego1451]

I first entered this vault on like my 3rd play through, it was my outlaw/cowboy character. Upon hearing the greeter being so disrespectful, I just said screw it and went on a killing spree. The greeter was my first victim and it was totally worth the bloodshed.

[@MrTim223]

This vault really pissed me off over the kid dying. I can understand people being upset over the child's death but it was not the Sole Survivor's fault whatsoever. To have the vault dwellers call the SS a murderer set me off during my playthrough, especially since I made the mistake on accident - I have RA and I have pain in my hands, so I didn't mean to let the kid die. I was just going to reload a previous game save until the 81 dwellers considered me a killer. So after the 3rd or 4th dweller comment I had enough and went full-on psychopath and slaughtered everyone in vault 81. After that bout of cathartic evil I reloaded the game save file and cured the boy, and just lived with the fallout version of mole AIDS until I blew up the prwdwen :)

[@mischievousjr.9299]

[@greateye]

According to the wiki you only need to donate some blood and after that you need to be outside of the vault for more then 24 hours or you need to do another mission after that go back to the vault and he should be sick.

[@markr4697]

Re-upload?

[@nunosousa8022]

most probably at the end of the video oxhorn says that he post videos everyday of the week and that doesn't happen anymore. Also I remember him making that comment on the steak entry and he doesn't show the shirt shop at the end.

Overseerers guardian is a great option to put the .38 receiver on. Works well if you spec into a gunslinger build and have the rifleman perk. I cured the boy even though i have the mole rat virus. A minus 10 to max hp isn't that bad to me. For bobby deluca, capt ironsides hat and agethas dress combo worked everytime. I save bashed 5 times just to test it and it worked all 5 times. The tina deluca interaction is 100% bugged. Save bashed a few times and the couple times i passed the speech check it never even gave me the option of where to send her. Glad there is people like you out there ox. Happy new year follow wastelanders.

Vault 81: "If the overseers were human..."

[@alexmajor6579]

If you buy fertilizer in bulk from diamond city surplus, the lady and the robot, then buy out the fertilizer from the ghoul trader in good neighbor, as well as some plastic scrap you can cook it into jet. Then you can sell jet to that deLuca junky at 75 caps a piece and he wont die as long as you haven't started other vault quests. It is a good way to establish caps early in the game or purchase the overseers guardian early in your play through for harder difficulties.

[@Manuqtix.Manuqtix]

I wish there was an option for you to decide if you want to proceed with the nasty virus experience as vault tec wanted to or to stop it all together

[@lolbittaco6412]

“No cure, forever.” QAsmoke has 200 copies sitting for the taking. Unfortunately, you can’t sell them for much other than 300 caps. Also, I’m not sure if some hidden code screws the quest over if you use it early.

[@rom65536]

Dismiss your companion before going into the secret part of the vault. If your companion gets bitten, you get the disease. Take Spray-n-Pray and hose everything down and lay mines behind you. Until Fallout 76, "Here Kitty, Kitty" was the lowest point in Fallout game history - it's such a stupid quest. "Ashes! Go Home!" - yeah, that crap will work. But then Fallout 76 came along and said "Here, hold my beer, kitty cat." I think the incentive to keep the serum is a little lacking. Basically, it's just an option for people who want to role-play an entirely evil character. Also - Curie should have been able to replicate the cure. Would have made for the perfect capstone to her companion quest. Maybe build her a lab in a settlement from parts scavenged from all the vaults of the commonwealth and a couple other high-tech laboratories in Boston (Cambridge polymer, Hallucigen, Greentech Genetics, Mass Fusion, etc. etc.) and enlist the help of other wasteland science-types: Tinker Tom and Carrington, Dr. Duff and Professor Scara, Doctor Sun, Doctor Behtany (ghoul doctor a little west of Arcjet) hell, maybe even Solomon at Chem-I-Care. Tina DeLuca is interesting - she's honestly an amoral monster. Getting her twin hooked on drugs and agreeing to an affair with a married man and a father...then sweet-talking the Sole Survivor into cleaning up her mess when she's taken it too far? Why would I want that at a settlement I'm trying to keep running smoothly? She's a damn drama queen with a hefty sense of entitlement and complete disregard for consequences that's going to instigate a big bunch of heartache for her entertainment. Take her home, and next thing you know, the Longs are splitting up and Sturges is OD-ing on Med-X!

[@edmartin875]

Yeah, I went in unaware of the extra penalty to being bitten, with McCready and Dogmeat, using a fast-shooting pistol a quick refreshing Vats and came out with all of us unbitten. I also thought Curie should have been able to replicate the cure. And didn't even consider flirting with Tina as I have never been the type to chase every piece of strange nookie I encountered.

[@MeanAndPristine]

It’s important to know that you can acquire the disease yourself if one of your companions is bit, too. You’ll want to do “Hole In The Wall” solo

[@Sunny_psyche]

I went in at a higher level and stealthed most of the way through in power armor and tons of chems. Luckily I didn't get bit on the first run in and I gave it to Austin without consequence. I'm starting my second character, now a male, and aim to romance Curie.

I feel like Curie is an Easter egg for Dragon Quest 4. Curie in DQ4 is a heal slime that wants to evolve and become something more than a monster by traveling the world. He joins you for a bit and it later seen as a human playing a flute. He had traveled, helps others and was rewarded with evolving into a human. Surprisingly heal slimes look remotely like the heal bots, or heal bots look like heal slimes lol
