The residents of Vault 3, built in southwestern Las Vegas, were faced with a similar gamble when they made contact with the outside world. Compared to the other vaults of the Fallout universe the residents of Vault 21 got off extremely lucky. Inhabitants like Doc Mitchell left for the outside world, and the vault was largely filled in with concrete aside from the upper levels, kept in use as a hotel. In 2274 Mr House offered the residents of Vault 21 the opportunity to participate in rebuilding New Vegas, which after a high-stakes game of Blackjack the Vault-dwellers agreed to.
This included major political disputes, with each faction sending its representative to gamble on its behalf and hoping lady luck smiled at them. Every single problem that arose within the vault had to be resolved using gambling. Everyone in Vault 21 was allocated equal space and equal resources to start off with. Vault 21 inhabitants were subject to an experiment, but by chance the outcome of the experiment ended up being in their favor in a twist befitting the vault sprawling under America's most famous pre-War casinos. Vault 21 is one of the only Vault-Tec vaults that essentially delivered on the company's promise to its inhabitants. While most other Vaults are revealed to be cruel experiments by Vault-Tec ranging from cloning to cryogenics and autocracy, the history of Vaults 3 and 21 are unique. New Vegas may have originally been conceived by Obsidian as a far larger city, but the still impressive version fans ended up getting in the game's retail release took advantage of cities as a storytelling device in a way that one small detail puts the spotlight on.įallout: New Vegas' eponymous city has two vaults within its city limits, Vault 3 and Vault 21. Although some Fallout games like Fallout 3 and 4 take place entirely within the ruins of cities, the town-like settlements within them like Diamond City or Rivet City are often immersion-breakingly underpopulated.
Cities in Obsidian and Bethesda first-person RPGs aren't known for their size.
