Vault 21: What Happened Here was a Crime - Fallout New Vegas Lore

[@nailahprincessofhokuto2024]

"What happened here was a crime" Vault Tec Vaults in a nutshell.

[@Fish4Man61]

It seems even the ones that weren't some sort of evil thing, like the cryo vault of 101 (just wake up after 200 years), or the one where the overseer just said 'no, we are not obeying vault tec, no experiments, this is a vault for the people) - it still ends up bad for them. When it hits the story with the outsiders or some other point in time, something else happens to them. #TheTragedyOfBeingAVaultDweller I guess?

[@Jay-Gruener]

IKR?!

[@SA80TAGE]

It's nothing in the vault that's a crime... the crime is how the dwellers were duped into opening up for Mr House and him raiding it for resources while making the inhabitants homeless... THAT'S the crime.... didn't you watch the vid?

[@Jay-Gruener]

Fish4Man61 the cryo vault is Vault 111(Fallout 4). Vault 101(Fallout 3) was supposed to be the effects of inbreeding due to the small population within the Vault.

[@mitchellbarton7915]

With the exception of vaults 13 (until the enclave barged in and killed everyone inside) and vault 101 (at least until the overseer went nuts in thinking he was protecting people)

[@alandlr3391]

XX would be vault 20

[@mitchellbarton7915]

@Chip Vault 81 was supposed to test a panacea, hence why there's a separate vault underground where the scientists all died and you meet Curie. And Vault 88 was supposed to test tech to distribute to the other vaults, but I don't have much information to determine what the tech was gonna be used for outside of that. Needless to say, at least Vault 81 wasn't supposed to be safe. It just happened to be because one of the overseer put a stop to it entirely and sabatoged the distribution vents that the viruses were supposed to go through.

I feel like games in general used to be that way. I feel like that was left over from adventure/RPGs before the days of open world when you had a set storyline to follow.

Vault 21 was some of the much content that was cut from the final game. Originally, the vault was supposed to be fully opened and you'd have to go through the vault to reach Mr. House's stasis pod.They still left a bit of that lore in the game as that was the reason why he filled it with concrete, it made him vulnerable.

[@APersonOnYouTubeX]

Instead his stasis pod was behind his own casino With a no-lock -at -all doors

[@woodysmith2681]

Being a secret backroom in Vault 21 makes better sense than sticking an electricity-dependent device in a tall tower and shutting down most defenses for 180+ years in hopes that it'd restart properly, foundation was intact, and locals wouldn't use Fat Man against the tower that wouldn't open.

[@GeldJupiter364]

Could House killed the girlfriend of Doc Mitchell, so he stayed at Goodsprings?

[@earth2bob]

The experiment was a failure. As soon as an outside variable was introduced, it fell apart. If everything stayed contained in the vault, nobody could really get on top for long. The stakes were only as high as could be in a closed environment. As soon as higher stakes were introduced, it became possible to bet it all, and thus lose it all...

This place has always kind of fascinated me. Somehow these people managed to maintain an orderly society for over 200 years without an overseer or any security to enforce the rules of their experiment. That really doesn't seem like it should be possible, particularly in a society of literally nothing but compulsive gamblers.

[@fahrai4983]

Bowen Orcutt I don’t know, gambling pits your luck against the rules of the game. Habitual gamblers tend to stick pretty rigidly to these rules rather than play a different game-you know? Drawing from that, it makes sense that if your very society is based on games of chance and skill, and you’re predisposed to analyze and dissect but ultimately follow the rules to better your odds and test your skill, that your community is likely to be more cohesive. I could be very wrong-but to me, it doesn’t seem so outlandish, framed that way. Remarkable, certainly.

[@bowenorcutt78]

Fahrai That makes a lot of sense. I wonder if a system like that could work for an independent vegas. Could certainly help keep the families from killing each other.

[@clutch1141]

Bowen Orcutt I think that as people who were raised in a system that used gambling as a tool of governance they would have a different view of it. They would see it as how to solve problems rather than as greedy person thinking of a easy fast cash grab. It seems to me they would treat it with reverence.

[@ГригорийХовер]

Fahrai good point.

What Mr. House did to Vault 21 was absolutely a crime. It was a safe place, with lots of people living in it. Even if he wanted to use the first floor as a hotel, he didn't need to fill the rest up with cement.

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

Mr. House tricked them, looted Vault 21, destroyed their home, and forced 500 people homeless using robots. Vault 21 reveals Mr. House LAWFUL EVIL karma. Destroying all he couldn't steal. He did let them live in New Vegas. Still such a waste of a safe place.

[@AusSP]

Except he didn't trick them. We've seen no sign of deceit on Mr House's part. The people in Vault 21 all chose to give the Vault to him... even if many of those votes were won in a game of cards. Vault 21 would probably be useful intact, yes, but it's not a crime. They suffered the fate their Vault was designed to experiment with - gambling. And it's hard to feel sympathy with people who knowingly bet their lives away. They are the victims of Vault-Tec... and of themselves. As for the usefulness of the Vault... Mr House is probably using it as we speak. From the other side. It was probably butting up against his own secret underground installations.

It's incomplete and an area drops abruptly into the void, but there's enough scraps there to hint that this is exactly what he tried to avoid by filling the vault in: places he couldn't monitor and watch where other people could plot against him.

[@andispellman]

I'm honestly surprised you didn't mention that if you get Benny to flee the Tops, a specific script will open the elevator in his workshop, leading to an underground basement. That basement is considered Vault 21, and when you go through the final door which leads to a void that if you go through, drops you in the entrance of Vault 21. It may just be a coincidence, but considering what Sarah said about "Her vault runs far and deep" it makes a lot of area that House can't monitor.

I think the morality presented here is fascinating. Yes, you could argue that destroying the vault was for the greater good, because it benefits everyone who lives on the Strip now, and sets up the main plot of the game. However, Mr. House didn't found the Strip for the purpose of giving people homes and helping others, it was all about him, his glory, and his empire. Mr. House is the kind of leader that is incredibly focused on sustaining himself, but happens to do good along the way. Looking at it this way, it's hard to say that destroying the vault was the right thing to do, even if I am more of a big picture oriented person myself.

[@lenacarey2333]

(edited for grammar, don't mind me)

[@juice2307]

To be fair, the lives of those that persisted in old-world moral decency was stripped away so House could prey upon the moral wickedness of the wasteland through sex murder, inhospitality and gambling. The life and ideologies of a group of vault dwellers in a controlled vault will always be better in the long run than those that gratify their own self interests in the wastes. Fallout shows that humanity's weakness is its draw to be immoral and self-serving. That's what caused the old world to end, and it's what causes all of the problems in the wasteland to this point. Some see House as the greater good, but I just see him as a different form of ultimate evil. You can't beat the hubris of humanity, House was kidding himself with his megalomania.

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

Vault 21 could be a safe home / hotel for 500 people. Destroying a Vault in a damaged world leaving everyone homeless is an evil crime, & seals the Fate of Mr. House.

[@yodelingmuppet9831]

Lena Carey Well, think about it from a view that takes in the NCR and surviving factions. If you have a city that is economically able, than you have an entire land of consumers to make you money. Mr. House described all of this, he said it was for going to space to colonize another planet that wasn't destroyed like earth. He said he would bring the most intelligent humans he finds as colonists, so you can't really say it was necessarily wrong. He tried to save all the people he could before the bombs fell but was unprepared, he stated this had the side effect of making him less empathetic and sympathetic as so many people die but how many actually give progress beyond themself, though humanity was still his purpose according to him.

“Our way of life is gambling. It’s fair, and equalizing.” *Mr. House gets you to gamble away everything* “It’s not fair, it’s a crime what happened, our home was stolen from us!” Nice hypocrisy. They lived by the cards, they lost by the cards. It was *entirely* fair. Just because “Big Mean House” decided to do what he wanted with what he won *fairly and by their own rules* doesn’t make him a monster. If they wanted to keep their home they shouldn’t have put it at stake. It is a fate entirely of their own making.

[@syntheticsamurai]

"fairly"

[@delta138_zam]

MilitaryBronyforlife A: That’s still not proof it’s an accusation. B: He *didn’t* have access to the vault, a self-contained system that could simply outlast any sieges, which was the point of the endeavor in the first place. He couldn’t count cards via computer since he sent representatives, and anyone wearing a radio would be obvious since the tech of Fallout is so bulky.

[@cowbell7773]

I agree

[@DirtyDan1]

House was gonna get that vault, one way or another.

[@delta138_zam]

Dirty Dan And yet, House chose the peaceful option first, and succeeded. No “what-ifs” no “buts” no “he might’ve” the fact remains that he played things straight, and the vault representatives lost. And, like sore losers, unendingly whine about how unfair life is because their enemies played by *their* rules and they *still. lost.* The reason people feel sympathy for the gambling addicts is because their side is the only one explained in detail, and it’s by a pretty face who will sleep with the MC. It’s “sad” and “tragic” because it’s more personal because of Sarah and Doc Mitchell. House, who is impersonal, is not sympathetic. BTW: Just because it was *unpleasant* doesn’t mean it wasn’t peaceful.

NFreund the truth is out there pal...enjoy

[@kidwajagstang]

NFreund it’s this same reason I think is the reason New Vegas continues to grow as the most popular and praised Fallout game so far. I remember praising the game and declaring it superior to Fallout 3 for realizing this (and that it “felt” like Fallout as I still occasionally still play 1, 2, and Tactics and Fallout 3 didn’t feel quite right) and was run out of the Fallout forum I was in at the time. Now those same people say what I was saying back then. Didn’t rejoin, however, as I prefer not to be friends with people like that. Obsidian knows Fallout better than anyone as most helped create Fallout. I hope one day the people who helped make Fallout are given another opportunity to work on another Fallout title, but with an actual realistic timeframe that will allow them to fully realize what they want the game to be. Just imagine if Obsidian was given longer than 18 months to go from concept to store shelves? I truly feel the small development Time was meant to ensure Bethesda’s versions weren’t completely upstaged as they knew the team was FAR superior. Giving them a proper development timeframe would have yielded possibly one of the greatest games of all time.

@@ddrnold I hope they come back for Fallout 5. Another southern based Fallout made by classic Obsidian would be glorious, especially after the catastrophe of 76. I just hope they get time to finish the game this time around, while keeping it fairly open world. Also, ditch the "father looks for his son" storyline. It sucks. Ass. And Fallout 4's bullshit Brotherhood of steel sucks too. Why wasn't the Enclave in the East coast, considering the Brotherhood and NCR hadn't been over there yet? Wouldn't that mean the majority of the Enclave's remaining forces would be in the East? Where they could rebuild in relative peace, being separate from the bigger nation sized factions? But don't ask Bethesda about it.

[@MsButtercup3000]

J N Morgan The settlement concept is cool, but having 6 thrown at you right at the start of the game and no option as to whether you’re gonna help them is not. A proper fallout game involves player choice, there could’ve been an option to develop raider settlements and be an evil douchecanoe.
