I saw a video in which some characters of the Fallout tv show open a fridge and find an alien and just toss it out because they want the working fridge. I’ve never understood (or really bothered with) why Fallout had the nuclear “event” which triggered the use of the shelters. Was it an alien invasion?

    The real reason why the nuclear apocalypse happened hasn’t been explained in any of the Fallout media yet, but it feels like the show is going to reveal it at some point if it didn’t already.

    Considering all the “experimental” Vaults and whatnot, and how politically powerful Vault-Tec appeared to be, the vibe I get is that there might have been some sort of conspiracy.

      I read a comment online saying the Fallout TV series implies that Vault Tec started WW3 and let the apocalypse begin all because they wanted to conduct vault experiments, I really hope that’s not the actual reason, cuz that would be really stupid.

      Absolutely. Pair that with the fact that they were/are working with the Enclave (another thing with Fallout, Vault-Tec and the Enclave, two of the biggest shadiest agencies in pre-war America, are actually still active 200 years later), it’s almost guaranteed.
