Found Vault 75.

Condition to get in: be a parent in the town of Malden with kids between the ages of six and eighteen. On activation of the Vault, families were to be brought into the atrium, and the kids were to be taken elsewhere for an orientation. The parents were then slaughtered and disposed of.

It was a eugenics vault. With an embryology lab. At age eighteen you were tested; high brains and physical scores got you 'harvested' for the next generation, and high brains and obedience/docility got you tapped to be a scientist, although they didn't put their scientists into the rota until anybody they had a chance of knowing had 'graduated'. The failures were just slaughtered and disposed of under the guise of 'graduation'.


Stanislaus Braun, you son of a bitch.

One of the things I've always loved about the Fallout universe is the secret history behind all the various Vaults.

Vault 75 is easily one of the creepiest.

What gets me about Vault 75 is that there were no Robobrains and no evidence of any other robots. No mention of bots in the records. So Vault 75's staff was composed entirely of humans. The other vaults only required one or two monsters each, usually as Overseer...

I have to wonder if Vault-Tec ran a version of the Stanford Prison Experiment in order to select the employees who'd be shooting their fellow American citizens dead for the sake of breeding and then killing their children.

You may or may not have seen this already, but just in case...there's a mod for Fallout 4 that turns deathclaws into Macho Man Randy Savage (link goes to an IGN article).

I saw. Alas, I have the PS4 version; modding is not granted to those of us in the console world. Le sigh.

Good thing it's not a El Santo mod then. ;p

Dude, if there were a mod that let me run a male Sole Survivor around the Commonwealth with a silver mask and a Mexican accent, I'd buy the game for the PC.
