re: Fallout **SPOILER** Discussion Thread

That still seems a bit far fetched for me tbh. Is finding out that Vault 31 houses cryogenic “leaders” that big of a deal? How is that any different than like England having “divine right” of kings and queens. Both are stupid. But would they start killing one another over it? What’s the point of committing suicide or your friends and family over finding out your overseer came from a cryogenic chamber in 31.

As we saw, Vault life was far superior to surface life. To the point where Lucy and Maximus were going to move back to one together. They only don’t because she finds out her dad and Vault Tec nuked their own country. I can understand being pissed about not knowing the truth and having the option to go to the surface. But the surface is a fricking hell hole, and super dangerous. I think a vast majority of people would still rather live in the vault given the choice.

So I still don’t quite understand why it was worth killing everyone in their vault. The theory above about some sort of psychoactive gas released would explain that behavior, but that wasn’t alluded to or explained at all in the show.

Straying further from the point of narrative drama here, but honestly I don’t see the problem in “31” telling all the vault dwellers the truth (minus the part where vault tec nuked their own country). There’s life on the surface, but it is a hell hole. You can choose to go up there or stay here. Hell even if I knew vault tec nuked their own country I’d still live in the vaults, the surface life is miserable.

Edit addition:
I realize the irony that many people killed one another over divine right in England, but I don’t think that equates here in a like-for-like comparison. That was for power grabs and for the future control, etc. and the scenes in Vault 32 don’t correlate to that. Sticking a fork in a toaster etc. I don’t think they were killing one another to have power of control
