So… Fallout has aliens? (lemmy.world)

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?

You're right, that would be really stupid, just like Americans fighting over guns in a zombie apocalypse (ammo and medicine are the real limited supplies, especially if you suck at fighting zombies), or killing off a couple percent of your population because wearing masks is uncomfortable. So it seems very plausible.

    I don't really know anything about the zombie apocalypse stuff, but starting World War 3 is a chain of nuking that will kill billions and all of that for a bunch of Vault experiments? Come on!

    Vault Tech's got enough money that they can easily conduct these experiments in isolated villages/towns or something without nuking the entire world.

    Yes, but if you don't nuke everyone else to the stone age, or inches away from it, they could stop you. And why are you worried that a few billion people who don't matter will die? Everyone who matters, those with the money and power and those that are to be experimented on, are all in vaults, and will have no desire to leave for the nuclear wasteland.
