And when you pick locks, I think.

edit: On this topic, Danse likes it every single time I enter power armour.
Is it possible to gain his max affection by just getting in and out of power armour?

I think ultimately Vault-Tec was gathering data for the government, which would come to be the Enclave.
Not sure if that is explained in Fallout 1/2 or 3, though.

I guess you grouped my sci-fi and low-budget sci-fi together, which is fine.
However, does that count as 1 nomination for sci-fi, or 2?

Either way, would I be able to nominate Zombies in place of low-budget sci-fi?
Please and thank you!

So a serious downside to the Diamond City house is that it has no armour/weapons workbench inside, AND you can't build one.

There are the workbenches just outside in the market, HOWEVER, they don't share inventory with your settlement workbench in the house.
So if you deposit all your junk in the house, then you have no materials when you go outside to work on your armour/power armour/weapons, and if you deposit outside, then no materials for decorating.

Basically you have to move all of your junk in and out of the house all the time.
No idea why they wouldn't let you build a crafting station inside, especially as you're very limited by what you can build inside anyway (no walls, fences, doors, traps or turrets).

Whoops forgot to ask one more thing.

What is the significance of message length? How do I control this?

Also, is it smart to wait for her to iniate conversation?

Seriously, just calm down, and stop over-thinking things.

It doesn't matter if you send her a big text, or if you send her short little sentences.
If she's going to be insulted or stop talking to you because you sent a message that was too long or too short, then you don't want to be friends or anything more with someone as fickle as that.


Do you have other friends you chat to via text?
Like, people on Steam, or Skype, or friends via your phones?

If so, just talk to her in the same way you talk to them.

No, the terminals said that they were only supposed to be monitored by those in the vault for 100 days. After that the staff were to leave the vault, leaving the experiment to be monitored externally by Vault-Tec through some unexplained mechanism. I believe some other vaults were set up to be monitored externally by Vault-Tec as well but I'm not sure about that

Yeah, there wasn't any indication that the chambers were ever going to be opened, instead simply monitored from afar.

Presumably the mechanism that allowed for that monitoring still exists in some way, because the Lone Wanderers chamber was opened remotely.

As for the science team, they were expendable. They were hopefully, but not likely, going to be able to leave after about 100 days, if not they'd start to starve after 180.
Whereas in other vaults, where a science team had a continued presence, the science team were incorporated into the experiments themselves.
For example, Vault 81 had a scientific team, who were essentially intended to live in tandem with the general population. I don't believe it's claimed that they were part of an experiment too, but I find it unlikely given the circumstances, that they wouldn't have been a social experiment running alongside Vault 81s actual laboratory experiments.

You can potentially infer spoilers from this link, but I suspect that the science team may essentially have been involved in an experiment not unlike the Milgram experiment, where the science team are seperate from the subjects.

I'm not really sure what their plan was in 111, besides the cryonics.

As far as I am aware, all the info in the vault just says that the test subjects were to be monitored, possibly indefinitely.
I don't think there was anything specific about the Lone Wanderer and his family that meant Vault Tec really needed them, other than the fact that they lived very close to the Vault.
Maybe having a baby/child was important, but probably only in order to test out the cryonics. There weren't any other children in the vault, so that seems possible to me.

As for rushing to get them into the Vault, I'm guessing that because Vault-Tec was connected to the military, they had early warning of the bombs, and were rushing to complete any remaining files/checks needed in order for their test subjects to get in to the vault as easily as possible.
That said, the Vault-Tec rep only wrote down your results on a piece of paper, and then seemingly carried on going to different houses.
And when the bomb falls, he's just trying to get into the vault, so he's not exactly handing anything over.
I guess it could be assumed that we definitely were on the list anyway, and he was just doing some last-minute checks, or at least informing us we had a place.

Well since everyone shares the same mentality as you, no wonder games are being more casual these days. If you're going to just lay there and accept it without challenging the developer.

My apologies that they are catering to the larger audience.

Why don't you piss off and find another game you'll like, rather than choose to play one you knew you were going to hate before you even played it?

I think I am going to use the Diamond City house for my character and completely ignore settlements until endgame.

That way I will have lots of saved up materials, and can build a settlement from the ground up in one go, rather than piece by piece.
And I can dedicate some time to getting that stupid max happiness achievement!
