I mean they're disgusting mutants who might pollute your gene pool and steal your land. Why would you tolerate their existence? I mean, we don't even know if the humans have ANY resistance. Only their experiments were designed to crossbreed humans and radiation resistant species.

I mean Hank blew it up because his wife dumped him for another woman. World's most divorced dad. But yes, if there is a major flaw with the Fallout series as an example of the setting, it's that it suffers the same problem timeline-wise as every Bethesda installment of the series. It doesn't...

I wouldn't be surprised if Vault Tec would be releasing their "new and improved" ecology before its adequately tested. Also, depending on what they were up to, they might have been creating monsters to wipe out non-Vault-Tec survivors. Especially if they make it so the Enclave and Vault-Tec are 1:1

I think it's also the fact this is not "The Gulper Vault" probably but the "Evil Experiment with DNA" Vault. Which is to demonstrate the kind of nastiness that Vault-Tec was up to and how it has affected the surface world and made it worse.

The revolt notably had the same scientists as in Cooper's commercial.

The thing is that there's a decent argument that the cartel/monopoly is the end state of capitalism in most systems and that is inevitable with the rise of fascism as a result. Far right governments being supported by these economic bodies over any other form.

There's also the assumption that the more human Vault 4s are radiation immune. The Gulpers are but we don't have any sign the Vault 4ers are as there's a distinct difference between the two. The more human like ones may simply have been deformed by the experiment.

Part of the issue I have with Marxism is the fact that it seems to assume end-states that don't necessarily exist or absolute crushing of the competition as well as partnerships with the state. These include Marx's failure to account for the ability of the state to prop up capitalism and stave...

Set was an involuntary ally of the Master but an ally he was, hence why they had troops stationed inside the place. A bunch of horrifying deformed mutants living in the sewers in an indestructible bunker is a bit different as a point. At least this Vault is hidden, mostly, despite the giant...

I want the option to join Vault-Tec. It was a mistake leaving that option out in Fallout 3. I'm also of the mind the Institute was the only sensible answer.

On a Youtube comment I enjoyed: "Fiduciary Responsibility is actually a legal requirement for joint stock companies - LLCs, PLCs, Societe Anonymes etc. They have to provide their shareholders with a return on their investment, which means always prioritising profit maximisation over all other...

I did, I was chiefly referring to 33, 32, and 31. I think my argument earlier was the Mutants of Vault 4 would probably be Master allies. I mean they left their Vault voluntarily because they had their own version of Reclamation day. I'm not inclined to defend it, just saying that you're...

Really? They did a great job dialing back FEV's use in the setting with the Ghouls decoupled from it. Do we really want FEV added to non-Super Mutant plots? Eh, the Master is also keeping his business almost completely hidden. No one knows about the Super Mutant Army until the Vault Dweller...

To be fair, they don't necessarily have to have not known about it. This Vault doesn't have any elements that require it to have been secret to the Master or NCR.

Eh, the Masters plan is like three or four things. 1. He's very specifically trying to create a race that is united under his psychic powers in the Unity. Hence why he's doing so many experiments on Psykers in the basement of the Cathedral. 2. He's creating a specific new race with the Super...

I feel so bad for Codsworth because when Cooper mentions making 10,000,000 dollars, he's indicating how much he's getting paid for Vault-Tec. Of course, all of that money is going to worthless when hyperinflation kicks in.

I admit given the later seasons of Westworld, you may well have destroyed me here. *bows*

Vault 4 doesn't break the setting unlike Vault 33, IMHO. The Master is looking for non-irradiated, non-FEV infected people to turn into hyper intelligent mutants. Super Mutants are Super after all, not just mutants. Given the reaction to discovering his plans are nonviable is to commit suicide...

I think shitty capitalism is a major problem in America because people destroy the restrictions that make it profitable. They're too worried about high stock prices versus sustainable growth and actually building something valuable in the long term. Trade and economics need the government as an...

Okay, that makes no sense. They made Gulpers but not all of the mutants made at the place are Gulpers as we see other mutants throughout the place in the background other than the Overseer. Doesn't it make more sense that they did other experiments? Especially since there's no sign Gulpers are...
