Vault 11 | Fallout Lore

[@Pats0c]

I think if instead of killing the sacrifices they just kept them in a hidden portion of the vault, never allowed to see anyone else ever again (or until they decide to stop sending people) that it would've been exceptionally interesting. Like you have the one experiment where you're watching people sacrifice each other and then you have the other side where the people who were sacrificed realized it was all a sham but have no way of telling the people above.

[@MillieBlackRose]

That would have been a great twist.

[@niallsullivan4450]

And you just find a room full of skeletons wearing tattered vaultsuits

[@L_H_Bruh]

So the people who got "sacrificed" would be safe and sound but the other side of the vault where people weren't sacrificed are having a revolution and killing each other, it would be pretty ironic and sad

[@MillieBlackRose]

@@L_H_Bruh that'd be a heck of a twist

Shit I completely thought that the sacrifice was actually going to be released from the vault.

I just went through this vault for the first time the other day and was so immersed. Walking back through the vault and seeing all the posters on the walls while listening to the survivors audio logs was surreal and creepy as hell

The logs regarding the first overseer (or "first sacrifice") are honestly chilling. The thought of some leading figure (the overseer) being forced down a long passage leading to his death, wheeping all the way, just gives me a sick feeling. Horrific, yet brilliantly written, vault.

[@flashstudiosguy]

What must his wife have thought is my question. I mean, I doubt Vault Tec told them the truth or, if they did, a sugar-coated version. "Now, I know sacrificing one's self is not a nice thing but I'm confident that they'll do it. After all, as Overseer, you will be a position of authority and good Americans always listen to authority"

@@flashstudiosguy don't the original overseers know the true purpose of each vault's experiment? As in, the original overseer more than likely knew that if a sacrifice was denied then everybody would go on living.

[@void-master9077]

@@nextlvlroy, I’ve been thinking about that, I personally do believe that he knew exactly what the vault was for, the experiment that costed so many lives, he probably thought that it didn’t apply to him, so he didn’t care much, or he assumed that they wouldn’t sacrifice anyone, but as anyone should know, when we’re backed into an inevitable death, our true selves come out.

[@snailmail2000]

Vault 11. The most interesting, as well as atrocious vault in New Vegas. This was probably one of Vault Techs cruelest experiments on people. As well as what it tells us about humanity in the Fallout world.

[@commissarkordoshky219]

It tells us that we should honestly be happy for the fallout, seeing as America's rulers were far more cruel then anything the wasteland could throw at us.

[@lasarousi]

It's only atrocious because it shows without a doubt that humans are shit, and humans really dislike the realization. This was one of the safest, most straight forward experimental vault, but literally a conglomerate of humans fucked it up hardcore, the first generation could have passed the test if you they had any semblance of empathy. Excellent vault imo but the least actual evil one.

[@Spiffyo]

@@lasarousi Ironic isn't it? How the vault that took empathy to overcome became the most atrocious, while the most atrocious vault became one of the best due to empathy(vault 81).

[@TrollNova]

I’d say forcing people to undergo mutations via EPP is significantly more disturbing, but hey, not everyone knows what true sorrow is

[@bribribribribribribribribri]

I always visit this vault in my playthroughs of New Vegas because it's my absolute favorite. Also: the way the Vault-Tec "Happy Trails" slideshow ends with "Imagine what joys await you in the afterlife. Can you see them? Good." followed immediately by the screen shutting down and the doors sliding open to either side always makes my heart jump every time. And the fact that the recording for their refusal says "Here at Vault-Tec, your safety is our number one priority" is so absurd I always chuckle to myself because of how ridiculous that claim is, seeing all the other vault experiments as well as this one.

[@TheMattShow1011]

That final “Good” is the most sinister line delivery I’ve ever heard.

[@video-luver769]

That's directly based on the killing booth scene from Soylent Green, too.

[@Nocturnimancer]

The thing with nate and catherine was the most depressing shit...

[@RockR277]

Something that's always kinda bugged me though, is the method of execution. It's weird that the executions were actually planned to happen when the vault was only meant to be a social experiments, and it's weird that the method itself is overwhelming firepower, instead of something like gas or an electric chair.

[@joeywaters5559]

It always stood out to me as another example of just how utterly messed-up Vault-Tec truly was.

[@Da_maul]

It was probably so the player would actually have something to do in the sacrifice chamber

[@BadVoodo0]

it somewhat lore friendly, like a lazy way to close off the experiment. i can imagine 2 vault tec engineers thinking about using gas or an electric chair, but realizing the gas might expire or leak, an electric chair requires maintainece and a vault dweller would have to manually go down there and reset the death machine, then why wouldn't the vault dweller disable device entirely? robots and a slide door seem to be the cheapest and laziest way to go about it since its going to take robots to remove the body anyways

[@winzyl9546]

Its not lore or anything, its just so the player can escape it.

[@zyraphyn5893]

First time I saw this vault, I kept thinking there would be a secret section of the vault that the sacrifices were sent to live in, unable to communicate with the original side. That the two sides would be studied to see how the "sacrifice" side developed as a society. Would they be angry? Bitter? Or would they be relieved that they no longer had to live with this fear over their heads? I was a bit disappointed when I got to the end of the vault and found that the sacrifices were indeed killed.

[@dutsonator]

My headcanon was always that it was the omdbudsman who was the sole survivor from Vault 11.

[@tombstone5860]

Realistically in a situation like this, instead of electing someone as overseer to sacrifice, the vault would instead vote for someone based on whether or not they are productive, or constantly getting into serious trouble. Maybe they'd even sacrifice the elderly that are weak and feeble as well.

I love synonymous, because he gets down to it and summarises everything while keeping the important details. I used to watch Oxhorn but im glad I stopped. An entire hour of my time wasted that only took 20 minutes to talk about. Thank you Synonymous, you help me understand the fallout universe without all the long winded nonsense.

Thank you very much for producing this content. You brought me back to the fallout world and, after 10 years or so, I’m playing fallout again and enjoying the experience as if it was new

exploring your way through vault 11 and uncovering the story piece by piece is a masterclass in storytelling. beginning with the 4 bodies at the vault door and hearing the final holotape at the start, only to go through the twists and turns of uncovering the story bit by bit, then entering the chamber and seeing the dark turn of the death room presentation, blasting your way through survival, only to re-listen to the final tapes as you crawl back up towards the surface with all the newfound context of the vault's story. Haunting.

Damn what just fell asleep listening to your video then you uploaded another one? Love your content man

[@vulpes7079]

It would have been much smarter if Vault-Tec had built a secondary facility for the "sacrifices". That way they could study isolation and trust issues, seeing what kind of society grew as the sacrifices were led there. Maybe giving them the chance to monitor the Wasteland to see whether it was safe to leave would also help

My favorite vault in the whole series.

[@mtfsamsara8668]

I am a new comer to the franchise, and you my friend are one hell of a story teller... I have been listening to your videos all morning and I just found your channel.. take my sub and my likes and fast travel away

[@Synonymous101]

Welcome aboard! 😁👍

[@St.petersEye]

Real life is getting closer to fallout

[@FlowtyJ]

I would personally love to see a video about the zetans. They've appeared several times, and i would love to know more about them.

7:59 Why Spike spiegel getting instagated by Cyborg? Lol

[@MixieThePixie007]

God the fact that they kept doing this until a huge fight broke out years later and we're left with 5 people really shows how uneasy these experiments are, especially if only the vault overseer knew, I just wanna know why they didn't just go against it from the get go, like there had to be SOME people against the idea of a sacrifice

[@zekun4741]

Mass riots

[@Tripplebeem]

This story really got my spurs jingling and jangling, thanks for sharing it, partner!

[@Ruenvale]

I feel like this particular story could make a good movie/series

[@TimmyMcGowan]

With how sadistic Vault-Tec is, it wouldn’t surprise me they knew this was going to happen and purposely made that voiceover super cheery and congratulatory for no other reason than to twist the knife into the remaining survivors

[@lilwhisper]

Ah yes this killed me so much times my first playthrough, great content thanks.

[@lucadunstan3220]

Seeing as sacrifices were not necessary I'm surprised the vault actually killed them, would have thought they'd just be released into the wasteland or something

[@randomlyentertaining8287]

I'd like to try this experiment in real life, except instead of obviously killing the sacrifice, each sacrifice is sent to a different building where they're forced to watch the first experiment as it goes on and we can study both sides reactions. If the first experiment results in the group refusing to do a sacrifice, then both sides get to be reunited and everything is explained to them.

[@bfmtrooper5454]

This is kinda random but I can't be the only one who wishes there was a mod for hoi4 or something that takes place before the great war. Maybe you could try to calm the crisis and use nuclear power for civilian and power use or go down the fallout timeline until there's total Armageddon. Idk, it won't happen but it's a cool thought.
