Amazon's Fallout TV Show: 10 Things Fans Need To See
7. Twisted Vault Experiments
Welcome to Vault-Tec and all its strange experiments. Gary!
If there's one thing all Fallout fans love exploring, it's the abandoned - well, sometimes abandoned - vaults that lay buried throughout the wasteland. These supposed refuges from the terror of nuclear war are more often than not bizarre social experiments, with the vault overseer in command and enacting the perverse wishes of Vault-Tec, the mysterious company behind all these underground constructions.
As part of its Societal Preservation Program, Vault-Tec callously side-stepped its supposed mission to simply help humanity survive the horrors of nuclear war. Many of the resulting experiments are delightfully macabre: from the blue/red segregation of New Vegas' Vault 19, to Fallout 3's Vault 106 and its disturbing distribution of hallucinogenic drugs and Vault 11's dreadful experiment in human sacrifice - for many, life in the vaults was worse than above ground.
Including vault lore and a look into the grisly history of Vault-Tec is absolutely a prime requisite for any TV show based on Fallout.
