All of the Fallout games are based on Vault 118. They have similar technology to Vault 112 where they put people in a simulation. Their simulations are monitored from Vault 0, to see what would happen if they were to really be able to escape certain Vaults. There are approximately 4 inhabitants of Vault 118. Whenever their simulation ends, they are immediately terminated because they know too much as it is. If they were ever released from their containment units, or even awoken from their simulation, that would cause EXTREME schizophrenia, paranoia, and insanity, because of them not knowing the difference between reality and simulation.

Let the record state that each subject is given a new supplementary persona in the simulation to protect them from any case of schizophrenia, paranoia, or insanity while inside the simulation.

The first inhabitant of Vault 118 was put into a simulation regarded as "Fallout---1" this is only because the complete documents of this test have been lost. The original name for this was "Fallout Escape Subject 1". At the end of the Vault 13 simulation, the inhabitant was terminated and they moved on to their second subject.

The second inhabitant of Vault 118 was put into a simulation regarded as "Fallout---2" this is ALSO only because the complete documents of this test were lost and the original name for this was "Fallout Escape Subject 2". At the end of this simulation the subject was also terminated.

The third inhabitant of Vault 118 is STILL in the simulation regarded as "Fallout---3" this is because the complete documents on this test are lost and the original name for this is "Fallout Escape Subject 3". This simulation is still known to be running. The subject is not yet terminated. His termination, and completion of the simulation are to hopefully arrive from October 19th- October 22nd. Certain malfunctions with this simulations has delayed the completion of this test, the subject has wandered off onto other fields that Vault-Tec Officers are calling "DLC".

____________________________________

The next inhabitant of Vault 118 is being tested with a NEW ideal, to test how a person would react to a completely new life style. The simulation is almost completely under the inhabitants control. The point of this test is to give the inhabitant a new life but test his mind with giving him vague memories of a past life style. This simulation has been in the BETA stage and is being tested by Vault-Tec Officers as we speak. The simulation is expected to begin anywhere between October 19th- October 22nd.

Vault 118's location remains unknown to this day.

You have put a lot of though into this haven't you? But have you taken into account that F4 is on the horizon. Beth is making it. And Fallout: New Vegas isn't Fallout 4

Fallout: New Vegas is counted as the FOURTH simulation, but it has a different name. There are currently just 4 subjects as the 5th subject is not ready to be pre opped. The subjects are pre opped for their simulations years before the next subject. So in 2012, Fallout Escape Subject 4/Test 5 will be getting pre opped.

The Fallout: New Vegas is not being called a Fallout Escape Subject because the subject does not escape/get kicked out of a Vault in this simulation.

So, Fallout 4 will be regarded as Fallout Escape Subject 4 because he IS after all the 4th escapee, but it is still the 5th test.

Is this supposed to be fan fiction, because it's not canon. If so, let us know via a report and one of us will move it.

It's my explanation on all the events of Fallout.

Okay then, it's fan fiction, Moving it now.

Genious.

Really neat.

So Fallout is an insane computer simulation? Which can be an explanation of anything.

"Why did you just slap me?"

"Simulation." <_<

Sadly that is true. I wish Beth would make Elder Scrolls V first. I love Fallout 3 and all but I want another TES game.

Explains a lot, I guess.

I've heard that they are making both TESV and F4. Along with TES and Fallout MMO's

Truth is, we don't know what Beth is making. Zenimax established Zenimax online to make MMO titles, but I haven't heard any news about them. Interplay is working on Fallout Online. Chances are, beth's been working on whatever it's current game is since some point in Fallout 3's development, with development speeding up after fallout 3 was released.

It should also be noted that there is a lawsuit currently in the system between Bethesda and Interplay, and Interplay could be ruled as not having the right to develop said MMO.

True that there has been no official word but anything of the sort

Fallout Online? Like multiplayer? xDDDDD

No, a Fallout MMO

Fallout online is the mmo interplay is developing. Bethesda sued them, arguing that Interplay had failed to meet certain requirements in order for Interplay to keep the MMO IP rights. The lawsuit is currently in the courts. If Bethesda wins, Interplay will lose the rights to the Fallout MMO IP and we may see zenimax online making a fallout mmo in the future. Interplay counter-sued gamesas, trying to argue that Beth was in breach of the original contract in which Interplay sold the rights to Fallout to Bethesda.

Well whoever wins, it better not change the way Fallout continues. I don't want mickey mouse in this series.

If Disney gets Fallout I will....... do something so horrible its taking me a minute to imagine.
