Opening the vault door, seeing your first half-robot/half-mutant, and trying to figure out if it's real or you're just high on Vault-Tec Patented Meat Slurry again:

Fun fact, the Stanford Prison Experiment was actually kind of a joke! Zimbardo really wanted the result that he got, and interfered with the "study" to ensure that he got it. People aren't as easily predisposed to evil as he wanted us to be.

Kinda goes against the theme of the setting, but what if one of the vaults was successful in experimenting on humans genetically or something.

Would be cool to be a master chief style Spartan looking dude coming out of the vault in a more fucked up area and bringing down the hammer.

I just like the idea of mixing it up lol.

I think that did happen in Fallout 1 with the Vault Harold came out of

Ah, I never went all the way back to one. My "original" idea isn't very original lmao

Also iirc there was a vault in fallout 1 where the experiment was making super mutants (I haven't played it I just watch YouTube lore videos), or at least using FEV to experiment on people.

this one is for laughs and giggles. I mean we will randomly pump small amounts of laughing gas into the vents and see if it improves morale.

Ok I am a guy and I always wonder how the vault was with the one guy and the rest ladies

Like the one that was opposite was fucked, a one woman can only become pregnant and give offspring to one man at a time. But the one with one man and like 99 women he could make multiple women pregnant, his offspring would be inbred but I wonder if they could be viable for long term
