- Known from: Fallout 3
Vault 101 is on this list with reservations. Because it works well primarily for those who can submit and live in an illusion. The Vault was built to test how well the concept of an Overseer works.
The residents were led to believe that the surface would be uninhabitable forever. The Vault was never to be opened, and no one was supposed to leave it. For a long time, the bunker was therefore very safe and peaceful. A good place to spend the post-apocalypse – provided you believed the stories about the uninhabitable surface.
There was energy and water, medicine, and even a school. The Overseer maintained order, and as long as one did not oppose him, one could lead a good life. Ultimately, the Vault was opened after all.
In 2241, there was a secret expedition to check whether the wasteland was now habitable. And in 2258, the doors of the Vault opened for the scientist James and his small child – the player character from Fallout 3.
In the wasteland, there are not many places that are truly livable after the Great War. However, these 5 Vaults belong to that category, at least for a certain time. Do you think of any other bunkers where you would feel comfortable? A popular answer from users on Reddit is, by the way, this Vault: Fallout has a “Vault 69” and it is just as bad as you think
