[@vexingrabbit1824]

They were testing humanity mainly. Remember that it was the Enclave that was in charge of vault tech and their mission was to expand the human race into other planets. So they needed to research a great deal of humans over long length of time before they make their way to space.

I mean, for arguments sake, The Male Player Character was an actual pre-war military soldier, just like Roger Maxson(who started the Brotherhood of Steel, one of those big factions from a pretty small group of pre-war soldiers) so I’ve always had the mind-set that Nate was much more properly trained & already battle-hardened from his time in Alaska fighting the Chinese so I honestly think Nate & the BoS aren’t very different from one another anyway so he could definitely hold his own unless it’s like the full might of the BoS or some shit imo. As for the Institute, seeing as the Player Character’s son is literally in-charge of the Institute, my thinking was Shaun could never bring the full might of the Institute down on him because it’s not like he didn’t know what anything about his parents, he’s kept tabs on them since becoming in-charge showing he obviously still cares for them in some capacity, so maybe part of Shaun cares more about his Mother/Father compared to the ideals/goals the Institute has brought him up on. But I guess it just depends on which perspective you’re looking at it from. 🤷‍♂️

A. This makes my stomach hurt B. There's a book called "Shade's Children" that's like this. In the book, everyone over the age of 15 disappeared and those who remained were taken in by these beings that came from another world. They trained and experiment on the kids until their birthdays and then... The kids are taken to a place called "The Meat Factory" and disassembled, made into creatures that the beings, Overlords, use in battles amongst themselves. And when the book starts, its been going on for fifteen years...some of the kids don't die. Those born near or after "The Change" have powers, and the lucky ones can use these powers to escape and fight back with a AI named Shade.

When I stumbled into Vault 75, I was honestly so ecstatic and excited. I thought the only other Vaults in the game were 111, 114, 95, and that DLC and tbh I was kind of disappointed. 111 is our first and is just a tutorial run through, 114 was full of mobsters and had a pretty lame premise tbh, with the meeting of Nick Valentine being its best highlight. I was hoping for something a little more diabolical tbh and I felt like there were hardly any terminals explaining what went on during the vault's run. 95 was the best out of those 3 and made me feel like I was actually running through a vault. And 88 was a massive disappointment. I love the workshops in Fallout 4 and have spent countless hours building settlements, but I wanted to explore a Vault, not build one! And I thought that was it. I thought those were allllll the vaults in the game. A Fallout game's not a Fallout game without Vaults, and the ones I had found were underwhelming. But then I found 75 and DAMN this one is my favorite! It actually felt like a real vault where, as I progressed, I was uncovering its secrets through the terminals and environmental storytelling. I was so giddy walking through it! I just wish Fallout 4 had more like this

The last Fallout(s) I played were 3 and New Vegas (mainly Fallout 3 for my 360). But ever since I've found this channel, he's got me very, very interested in playing Fallout 4. So, I stopped by GameStop after work, and bought a clean, used copy of this for a cool 6 bucks. Thanks to my own, and my best friend's (who's the Regional manager) discount. I think it was $16 or $17 used originally? I forget, oh well. Anyway, I created a character to obviously look like me. A tall, black man with a beard, toned muscles, and glasses (since I can't see worth a damn without any). Now, I've been hooked and glued to my 60" playing this game almost nonstop for days. I've been enjoying this game so damn much ever since i popped in the disc. I even brought it to work. We literally have a PS2 & 4 in our employee lobby (I'm a Sr. IT and a Server/Network Engineer at a hospital). I literally watch through your FO4 Playlist, and do my own exploring per lore video. Ok ok. Again, anyway, so I can finally shut up. Thank you for all the straight up awesome, absolutely wonderful, outstandingly great videos, man. You seriously do a perfect job at making each and every video feel like I'm watching a fictional tv series on episodes of "Fallout 4" in your own words. So, yeah. Thanks, Ox!

Hey, come to think of it, the premise behind this vault could actually be used as an intro to another Fallout game. Every main Fallout game with the exception of New Vegas has the player character starting out as a vault-dweller, so the precedent is definitely there. Suppose, instead of killing the Uptopland Heroes and harvesting their organs, this particular vault really did sent them to the surface. This would explain how you have the combat skills despite living in a vault your whole life. The Uptopland Heroes would be one of the earliest factions you can join. Once on the surface, a citizen would mark on your map a prewar fort where the other Uptopland Heroes have set up base, which would be on par with the largest settlement in the game in terms of vendors and other services. Raider bosses could be former Uptopland Heroes who were tempted to the raiders' life by power, wealth, and/or chems. These guys would have the same training and steroid enhancements as you do, which would qualify them as bosses. Who else likes this idea?

Killing the kids who underperformed seems so wasteful, why wouldn't you just let them out into the wasteland? You'd be giving them a death sentence anyway, but then they have a shot. Besides that, it seems less likely someone would find something damning because there's less flat out murder. They could have used those who left to fetch supplies and such for the vault. That would add some major risks, but still. So pointless.

[@InfamousMedia]

Katt Raisor you seem like you have no grasp on how morals or trust decays in the nuclear wasteland. They killed the kids because vault Tec is evil, and their only goals were medical/scientific. Hence murdering all their parents at the start of everything. Sending underperforming kids out to potentially bring back an army of raiders would risk all vault Tec’s scientific work

[@ryshed4365]

Actually they probably killed them so that they didn't lead anyone back to the vault and compromise the experiment. Not hard to figure out is it?

[@jedisentinel4879]

Fire Sail - After they are set free to the outside world, nothing garantees they would continue with their "uptopland hero" mindset, they could very much turn against the vault or reveal its location to foreigners over time. If they're kept at the inner entrance of the vault as guards, they wouldn't be of much use, just more mouths to feed and that would go against the promise of being "heroes of uptopland". Not to mention the risks of having extremely strong genetically manipulated people (and now armed as they're guards) just hanging around you, having to follow your orders, if they start to question your authority, what could you do? Now that they're not captives in the lower floor, they have no reason to follow you other than pure doctrine, you don't pay them (they probably don't even know the concept of employment), you don't give them anything other than food. Mantaining control over people solely on ideology is a very fragile kind of power. You could say that the security robots would be this second force to keep them in line, but then what's the point of having human guards in the first place if the bots could even kill superhumans.

[@Boner_Jamz]

I don't think you ever done a video on this, but I've always wonder what the ultimate plan of Vault-Tec was...? It seems like they committed evil just for the sake of committing evil. Even antagonist groups like Caesar's Legion, The Enclave, The Institute have reasons for what they do. Hell, even the raiders have motives. A video on what Vault-Tec's overall motives and ultimate intentions would be very interesting.

Rohit and James probably used it put together the pieces, then pretended to be docile to get onto the research team, pulled a bunch of strings in secret, and finally led the teenagers in successful rebellion.

[@WinoaKaronhiatens]

They were essentially bred like cattle if think about it. More muscle cows each generation. Same probably for the kids. Breed each generation to build more muscle and become stronger. They'd harvest and artificially manufacture the next generation probably manipulating the next generation with the best genetics from previous generations. 6 would be enough because they weren't being bred naturally and the next generation improved upon the last. The cycle could go endlessly. However it's interesting intelligence was useless to the gene process though. They wanted strong stupid human beings. Probably the goal was creating obedient super soldiers. With most of these vaults it seems to be about creating a controlled society.

I kinda agree with you, but there are some things to be brought up about the S-II training. First, when a kid died, they didn't hide it. It was practically in plain sight, so that probably didn't do any favors for the children's' morale and psyche. Second, the augmentations. While the physical strain these kids went through WAS horrible, the S-II augmentations had a EXTREMELY high chance of killing or crippling the augmentee. I will say this though, the Vault 75 training was REALLY close to being as bad as the S-II training.

Having played FO 3 and 4 extensively, and thus seeing all the sicko stuff that Vault-Tec gets up to there, I would rate Vault 75 as one of their worst (a couple of FO3's Vaults run close behind , IMO). I have to wonder if 'Choose-Your Atrocoty' was the very first step in Vault-Tec's Vault design / build process. Simply put: VT Executive One" "Let's build a new Vault." VT Executive Two "Sure thing. What sicko stuff will we do to the people in THIS one?". VT Executive One: "I'm thinking of something involving kittens, basket weaving and flamethrowers. Definitely flamethrowers ..." And so on.

"The dark side of Vault-Tec is the pathway to many experiments some considered to be... inhumane."

[@Corristo89]

The training of the children at Vault 75 is eerily similar to how the Nazis trained and used children and teenagers, especially boys, in their "NAPOLA" and "Adolf Hitler Schulen". Both were schools established after Hitler and his NSDAP rose to power and dreamt of creating superior humans for their Thousand Year Reich. Young boys were drilled at the earliest possible age, were trained to view sympathy and compassion as detestable weaknesses and that were to be punished. And under no circumstances were they to show compassion towards those deemed inferior racially. The Nazis didn't experiment on them, but their training was harsh, brutal and even deadly. They wanted fanatically loyal and superior soldiers as the elite for their empire. Of those who trained at the "NAPOLA" schools, over half would die in the war, wasted as a last resort to stem the tide and beat hold off an inevitable defeat.

[@bryanpseno4203]

Corristo89 it reminds me of their training too

[@crystaleidson6042]

I was also reminded of this! And of the fact that the socalled "experiments" performed by Nazi doctors like Mengele usually didn't even produce any data, because the experimental designs were a) mere excuses to be cruel and b) based on incorrect, ideologically based theories. Another example of Bethesda taking terrible events from real history and reimagining them in the world of the game. This is an especially awful one, but things this bad and worse have indeed happened in real life. It feels different to play through it than to read about it!

However, I don't see much reason why they couldn't have made the STATED goal for the vault (producing heroes for uptopland) into the actual goal. Train children from birth to be fighters, in a pseudo-spartan system and then a generation or three down the line, start releasing new graduates into the capital wasteland to try and 'tame' it. Like Washington noted, doing so would allow them to gain critical supplies and improve the training of the kids in the vault. Over time they would grow into their own faction within the Wasteland. It would take a lot longer to produce the perfect human genome, but if it's done more morally, I don't see that as a bad thing.

I definitely agree with you, they could still harvest sperm and eggs from the graduates for a new generation (though maybe they harvested the hormones and such from the brains?), that way they wouldn't have to worry about losing future candidates.
