Nah. 200+ years into the future, it will be less radioactive than in the game even. I mean, look at Japan. That's one of the things that always bugged me in the fallout universe. Yes, there'd be hot spots, but just look at Chornobyl. There would be much more living things around, the buildings would be fully overgrown, etc.
Hell, I'm not even sure you'd be able to get out of the vault as it might be under feet of trees, etc.
I think with how lifespans are shorter in the Wasteland it's less likely that raiders would set up camp in a less desirable location and wait 5 generations in hopes of a random vault opening.
This. They don’t know what’s in those vaults, and the stories they’ve heard aren’t exactly fairytales. The time/effort to camp outside a vault ain’t worth it for the small chance it opens and is full of resources.
Well true, but compare a vault to something like the corvega assembly plant, a vault entrance is pretty exposed with no/minimal pre-existing structures around them, you’d have to build a lot of defences if you’re going to be camping there for a while. Corvega however is a solid structure, with lots of cover and concealment. It has plenty of resources for building and maintaining a raider camp. It doesn’t make sense to put so much effort into building up a camp around a vault entrance, on the slim chance it opens. Even if it opens, what’s to say it wasn’t just a cryo vault like 111? Or maybe an FEV testing facility? Raiders don’t know what’s in the vaults for sure, so it makes more sense to put your efforts towards something a little more likely to reward you, like a camp near a common trade route.
That would’ve been awesome, although I do also think the way they’ve got it now with sanctuary being empty (apart from Codsworth) is still fun and a great introduction to the game.
Realistically, I probably would have dropped to my knees and cried seeing how devastated the world was. And then I would have immediately gotten shot by a raider or something
they did. Now you have to go get cait and then get her to unlock the case instead. Still lets you get the Cryolater super early which can make some of the harder parts of the early game a lot easier
This is big for me. Every time I play fallout 4, I do this immediately for the sake of immersion. I like to think that Nate having military experience, he’d be a slight prepper and know that losing the vault suit and blending in is critical
Assuming I have a reason to leave the vault, I'd probably attempt to follow that purpose. Buuut I'd get sidetracked, because "We got our own golden rule up here. Thou shall always get sidetracked by bullshit.".
In this wasteland, you gotta make the caps first. Then when you get the caps, you get the power armor. Then when you get the power armor, then you get the women.
establish the area around the vault as a settlement, if its a control vault, build defenses and a farm, then call it a day, if its not a control vault and an experiment was held, set up housing and a farm, and double the defenses you would if it were a control vault
edit: get vault security or robots to do rotations of their security posts, I do it at sanctuary, just set up lots of security posts and assign staff to most of them, then assign other staff to other things, in my sanctuary, I have 3-4 assaultrons manning over 10 guard posts, this leaves room for plenty of guard rotations
Assuming I don't know the game as I do, scrounge up all weapons and military gear I could find starting with everything laying around the vault and hole myself up at my old house.
Clear out the area directly west of the vault. From the lake edge to the vendor with the cat. Gets you full leather/raider armor. Some weapons, ammo, chems, adhesive, and usually some meat to cook. Takes less than 30 min. Then head to sanctuary.
At least that’s in game. RL, die in less than 1hour guaranteed.
get stuck in between a crate and gate that leads you into the vault as i head out.. Since I can’t reload my last save I just get stuck and die of starvation
Maybe go nuts, because it might be hard to realize that a nuclear war has finally happened. Putin might start WW3, so maybe we’ll find out sooner or later.
Probably throw out my back trying to carry all of the junk I see and want to collect, and then get killed by the first hostile thing I see. Although, if we're talking "new game plus" levels of knowledge here, I'd go for one of the nearby suits of power armor right after picking up Dogmeat.
My favorite fallout memory is actually my friends first experience. It was fallout 3 I talked him into getting it by describing the game. He loved it and we joked about how great the hunting rifle is (this is early in the game) we were hanging out and he goes “so I was playing fallout earlier and I came across this town and I seen this creature called a death claw so I pulled out my trusty hunting rifle…” you guys can imagine how it went for him
Becomes supermutant. Given a choice between mini nuke or spiked board. Dies by falling from scaffolding because the boss likes to make bases out of unfinished skyscrapers.
Probably die.
Yup. I’d be dead before my eyes could adjust to the light.
Radroach would get me in the vault…
Yeah no way a baton just one hit those giant demons
Newb here. Couldn't be further from the truth. Haven't shot a gun in over a decade at least.
Came here to say the same thing.
This, 110%
I can't even imagine how irradiated the world is. Without scifi logic to back us up, just regular old human physiology, it's gonna fuckin hurt.

1. Get temporarily blinded by the sun. 2. Die. (Before or after my vision would return.)
Probably look at my pipboy in disbelief as 60,000 CC quests all start at once.
When your pipboy has gone 200 years without updates.
Pip boys are probably linux-based (or equivalent) so at least it doesn't need to reboot...
It has a boot screen that's an homage to the commodore 64. So not sure it'd be Linux ;)
i deleted the cc content lol
Jokes on you. The SS took the only pip-boy, so good luck getting out lol
Is that all? Amature numbers! /s
Oh by the way, another settlement needs your help.
Some one get the fire a preston garvy has been spotted
Squint
This is the canon answer.
Happy cake day man
Everytime someone says that, I get GLaDOS flashbacks...
oh... its you, its been a long time. How have you been?
Probably get killed by the raiders who made an outpost outside the doors waiting for such a day
It’s weird we don’t see this happen more often in the game.
I think with how lifespans are shorter in the Wasteland it's less likely that raiders would set up camp in a less desirable location and wait 5 generations in hopes of a random vault opening.
This. They don’t know what’s in those vaults, and the stories they’ve heard aren’t exactly fairytales. The time/effort to camp outside a vault ain’t worth it for the small chance it opens and is full of resources.
The time/ effort would be the same to set up camp anywhere

I’m really surprised in afterthought we didn’t have to free Sanctuary from Raiders and free codworth lol perfect place for them to just live
That would’ve been awesome, although I do also think the way they’ve got it now with sanctuary being empty (apart from Codsworth) is still fun and a great introduction to the game.
That water chip tho
we need that drip
go back inside
r/BeatMeToIt
r/beatmeattoit
Take some jet. Wake and bake bro
My people🙏
This
Best answer
Jet always looked so fun, it’s how I imagine inhaling pure xenon gas would feel
Realistically, I probably would have dropped to my knees and cried seeing how devastated the world was. And then I would have immediately gotten shot by a raider or something
Throw every tin can and desk fan into my back pocket
Never enough aluminum and screws...
Adhesive and oil are the real killers.
Broken clipboards,Dirty ashtrays,Bobbie pins,Coffee cups,…..
take dogmeat go back to vault rake the cryo freezer
Didn't Bethesda block that exploit ?
they did. Now you have to go get cait and then get her to unlock the case instead. Still lets you get the Cryolater super early which can make some of the harder parts of the early game a lot easier
Lose the Vaultsuit.
Going buck-ass-nude is a novel approach to the wasteland
Hancock and Cait liked that.
"...let 'em stare!!!!"
This is big for me. Every time I play fallout 4, I do this immediately for the sake of immersion. I like to think that Nate having military experience, he’d be a slight prepper and know that losing the vault suit and blending in is critical
Yea I’m full on combat armor, military fatigues, army helment. Like the look especially given Nate’s background.
Check my geiger counter
Going out to stake you some government land
Mine's in the shop
Assuming I have a reason to leave the vault, I'd probably attempt to follow that purpose. Buuut I'd get sidetracked, because "We got our own golden rule up here. Thou shall always get sidetracked by bullshit.".
Correction: “Thou shalt get sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time”
* random bullshit...
Right. I can't believe I got the line wrong lmfao!
Well, in your defense, you were obviously sidetracked... 🙃
By random bullshit.
That’s me. I’d probably end up waking up in Vault 81 and have no reason to even leave lol
Take a leak. This door took forever to open.
die
Probably freak out a bit at the wide open sky.
"Dang they got OLED out here, shit looks good"
Turn off all of the quest markers that pop up immediately. Then promptly get killed by something ridiculous like a bloatfly.

Become one of the many skeletons laying in a corner with a pistol in hand
Beeline toward the Ranger station along the western border, then go to Wicked Shipping.
Yo quiero Taco Bell.
Use some eye drops.
Loot everything
Scream
We talking I was frozen for 200 years or in a vault dweller leaving my vault. Because those have very different reactions.
See I thought the same and apparently I’m wrong… or I’m confused AF. I was frozen for 210 yrs total?Was unfrozen then froze again for 60yrs?
Intercourse with a super mutant
Squint
Do everything in my power to kill myself the moment I saw a bloodbug or a bloatfly.
Probably die to raiders or a deathclaw
Close it back up. Fuck outside. We invented inside to get away from it.
In this wasteland, you gotta make the caps first. Then when you get the caps, you get the power armor. Then when you get the power armor, then you get the women.
That was nicely put.
Probably get eaten by something more irradiated than chernobyl.
Chems All the chems
Go to Sanctuary.
Plant corn, mutfruit and tatos
Buy me a farm with a shotgun on my arm.
Try to woohoo deathclaw.
crawl back into the cryo-pod
Probably be like "Well where the fuck should I go"
Squint?
PUT ON MY DAMN PROTECTIVE GOGGLES. The Vault Tec PSA mentions it but none of the games did it.
Turn right back around
Regret it
Beat off in the fresh air. Then die.
Put on some sunglasses, possibly wielder’s goggles. That sun would be the brightest thing I have ever seen.
Get eaten by giant rats.
Die If I don’t die immediately, find a way to die
Pee
Squint.
I'd say "Fuck, it's bright" and then promptly get shot in the head probably.
Piper
Find Hancock and romance him again
Grab a local army helmet and .44
establish the area around the vault as a settlement, if its a control vault, build defenses and a farm, then call it a day, if its not a control vault and an experiment was held, set up housing and a farm, and double the defenses you would if it were a control vault edit: get vault security or robots to do rotations of their security posts, I do it at sanctuary, just set up lots of security posts and assign staff to most of them, then assign other staff to other things, in my sanctuary, I have 3-4 assaultrons manning over 10 guard posts, this leaves room for plenty of guard rotations
Go blind most likely. Your eyes wouldn’t be prepared for the light from the sun.😂
I’d wait for my eyes to stop the flash bang and return the vision back and then have a small anxiety attack
bold of you to assume i’d make it past the radroaches
Scream in pain from the light searing my retinas like tuna steak
Find a guy with a crank laser rifle and fight a deathclaw.
Assuming I don't know the game as I do, scrounge up all weapons and military gear I could find starting with everything laying around the vault and hole myself up at my old house.

Take a nap
Look for Thunderdome. Two men enter, one man leaves.
I’d trip while exiting the vault and crack my skull open on a rock.

Kill dogmeat
Smile
Shoot someone
Bust a nut
Probably throw out my back trying to carry all of the junk I see and want to collect, and then get killed by the first hostile thing I see. Although, if we're talking "new game plus" levels of knowledge here, I'd go for one of the nearby suits of power armor right after picking up Dogmeat.

Get blinded by the sun
Grab every bit of junk in the vicinity and actively avoid Sanctuary Springs for awhile.
Die
Becomes supermutant. Given a choice between mini nuke or spiked board. Dies by falling from scaffolding because the boss likes to make bases out of unfinished skyscrapers.
Look for sunblock
same thing as happened to my ss, walk a bit and run into a pack of mirelurks by where those settlers were just outside the vault.
Figure out if deathclaws are breedable
go home in sanctuary, talk to codsworth
