Fallout 4
Summary
OneFallout 4detail in Sanctuary Hills may point to a dark hypothesis surround Vault - Tec while taking inspiration from a real - life locating . Sanctuary Hills is the location players are first introduced to in a sequence set in the year that the bombs fall in 2077 , being the home of the Sole Survivor and their families .
Sanctuary Hills homes are almost identical transcript of the real - life Lustron Houses , which are prefabricated , enamel steel star sign rise in the post - World War 2 - era United States to accommodate regress war veterans , which ties in with the Sole Survivor ’s backstory as a warfare veteran . The real ones came in the colors " Surf Blue , " " Dove Gray , " " Maize Yellow , " and " Desert Tan . " but RedditorPorkenfriesnotes that the 1 inFallout 4take mainly from the Surf Blue and Maize Yellow color palette , which resemble Vault - Tec ’s colouration palette .
Porkenfries then speculates thatFallout 4 ’s colour palette for the house is no mere conjunction , and with Vault 111 so tight nearby , Vault - Tec may have play the community in undercover , picking its trial subjects for the vault earlier than anyone realized .
Vault - Tec did n’t have the best interest of the population in mind when it contrive its Vaults , and these are one you do n’t want to live in .
Was Sanctuary Hills Part Of Vault-Tec’s Experiments?
Candidates Would Have Been Targeted For Vault 111’s Cryosleep Procedure
WithVault 111 so close to Sanctuary Hills- the main entering was literally within walking distance , with most of the wider facility likely situated directly under the small-scale townsfolk -it ’s possible that Vault - Tec owns the entire mountain of land , not just the vault beneath it . If so , the company would have been able to choose its residents as they looked to buy a household there , assure that when it did send its salesmen around to promote them to sign up for the vault that all of its potential candidates were physically suitable for what descend next .
As with all of Vault - Tec ’s vaults , there was an experiment that was far more sinister than the initial promise of tax shelter from atomic fallout . Vault 111 ’s experiment saw its residents cryogenically stock-still , with an aim to supervise the upshot of long - term suspended vivification on unsuspicious trial field . By the prison term the Sole Survivor wakes up over 200 years subsequently , they incur the facility ’s staff gone , and the other test subjects dead . As pointed out byWisteriApothecary , it ’s possible thatif Vault - Tec was looking to keep some people who could be of use in a next society , it could have made the witting decision to pull candidates from the US military .
While this was n’t support inFallout 4 , this possibility would make a set of sensation . Vault - Tec was known for being punctilious in its provision for its sadistic experiment , so to bribe out an entire residential district and pre - emptively select its tryout subjects without them knowing is not outside the realm of opening .
