Five survivors, four shots, four skeletons. Just did this Vault myself.
There's a lone Vault 11 survivor out there somewhere.

could you explain to me why they suicided?
Mr. Tracey dildo sucking man.
Nice video.
I thought they were killed by swarming mutations from beyond the vault door. Or one of them might have snapped and killed four of them.
Maybe, sniff... maybe.
the music playing in the room with the robots and video was perfect for the atmosphere. it reminds you of the sad few seconds of life
[QUOTE=furbrain;25655580]could you explain to me why they suicided?[/QUOTE]
[sp]The entire purpose of the sacrifice system was to see how far the population would go before they resisted the mainframe and refused to make another sacrifice, "knowing" that they would all be purged, but in reality they would be rewarded access to the outside world. By the time this finally happened, the vault had become "every man for themselves." By the time the dust settled and the majority of the vault had killed each other in an attempt to save themselves from becoming the sacrifice, five survivors remained. Each survivor had no doubt killed at least a few other vault dwellers, and seen god knows what else.
These final five decided that the physical and mental anguish as well as their very lives was no longer worth the toll of their humanity, and submitted to the mainframe's "punishment", only to be told it was all an experiment. It was never intended to go nearly this far.
As an act of atonement, or perhaps escape from their anguish, four of the five survivors committed suicide via a pistol. The fifth can only be heard sighing, and dropping his (the?) pistol, implying he may stil be alive.[/sp]

Considering I've been up for about 16 hours now I hope that's concise enough.
Wow, that was fantastically sad. Can anybody tell me what the light piano music playing in the sacrifice chamber is? I know how to play it, I did it on my Music course at Uni, but I can't remember who wrote it.

If I'm not completely wrong, I'd say it's from Lost.
It was either you live in one of these vaults or you die from the atom bombs. I would have chosen the nukes because there's always a chance you can turn into a ghoul :downs:
Woah, hey wait a minute... Has anyone spoken to Nobark in Novac after doing this Vault? It just donned on me that ol' Nobark sounds a lot like the survivor, and the traumatic experience in this vault could explain his mental instability. Also explains the half-made trap and "guards" in his house.
I really like these moments in Fallout series.
They do this kind of - what was it called again - scenes where a lot of stuff is left up to player to decide.
Like in Fallout 3, where there was a radio message that said something about a sick son and a father. Going onwards to the source of the signal, you could find not two, but only one corpse.

I love this game but goddamn are the animations and graphics shit
[QUOTE=Oddshot;25653395]I remember reading a poem once about a village where they sacrificed one person that was picked by a lottery. This video reminded me of that, so much.
But it brings up rather disturbing questions about humanity, really. Who here can honestly say that they wouldn't sacrifice someone if the entire vault (or family, or whatever) was at risk?
If we had no way of knowing what would happen if we didn't sacrifice someone?[/QUOTE]
[sp]The town of Nipton is an allusion to the short story "The Lottery", by Shirley Jackson, in that the winner of the lottery is murdered by the other townsfolk. This is mentioned by the Caesar's Legion patrol and in Mayor Steyen's office, there is also an abundance of lottery tickets strewn across town hall. [/sp]

Still, it would suck if you were willing to sacrifice your life for the rest of the Vault and you still get killed.
[b]What is the name of that song when he opens the way to the sacrificial chamber?[/b]
I thought I was gonna waste some time, but damn, I'm glad I watched that. Great job.
So, anyone found that vault 11 dweller? He must be somewhere in the wasteland.
The song with the light piano playing when he's walking to the sacrificial chamber is Life & Death from the Lost OST.

Brilliant, cheers.
WOW. That was terrifying. You nake great scary videos.
Gotta get this game for console, then get the GOTY for PC in the future.
Fuckin immersive, and I haven't even played the game
Oh wow dammnit. That was better than any vault in FO3.
[quote]Vault 11 is one of the Vault-Tec Vaults, located in the Mojave Wasteland. The entire Vault has been plastered with propaganda for an election for a new Overseer. The election seems to be unusual in that each candidate is expressing outrage at having been nominated and trying to point out not only their innocence but why the other candidates deserve to be Overseer for their sins. Deeper in the vault it becomes clear there has been fighting, with barricades and some traps. At the conclusion of the term of an Overseer, they are required to enter a chamber below the Overseer's Office to offer their own life, otherwise the computer controlling the Vault will execute the entire population. The computer does not require that the sacrifice should be the Overseer; of the original residents, only the Overseer entered the Vault cognizant of the regular sacrifices that would be required to provide life and shelter for the remainder of the Vault's residents. The residents of the vault, in their shock and anger at the discovery after having already been sealed inside the vault, demanded that the sacrifice be chosen democratically, and, further, chose the Overseer (who they viewed as having betrayed them) as the first sacrifice. This would marry the positions of Overseer and Sacrifice until the end.
In this Vault, several groups of voting blocs appeared to exercise power by means of their population and voting potential to exert force over other Vault residents. Prior to the final election, the most powerful of the voting blocs (the Justice Bloc) confronted Katherine Stone, threatening that, if she did not perform sexual favors for the members of their bloc, they would nominate her husband, Nathan Stone, for Overseer. Katherine, fearing for the fate of her husband, complied. Much to the shock of the Stone family, the Justice Bloc nominated Nathan for Overseer regardless, being the only Bloc to nominate him (it appears that it would be normal politics for several blocs to nominate a candidate due to the general moral outrage against a candidate).
Fearing for the fate of her husband, Katherine decided that she had to save him using the only method she felt left available to her: she began to stalk and kill the members of the Justice Bloc. Upon her capture, she confessed to her crimes immediately, explaining not only her plan but also her reasoning. She was asked if the voters would be so easily swayed, and explained she felt she would win because the voters had to make a choice "they could live with" the guilt of electing.
Katherine Stone's first act as Overseer, Overseer Order 745, dissolves the election process, instead decreeing that the position of Overseer will be chosen using the Vault's computer systems and a random number generator. The Justice Bloc, aghast that they were going to lose the ability to control Vault life by means of election threats, not only feared that one of their own members would be elected, but also worried that waiting for a member of their own Bloc to be randomly chosen as Overseer to be elected and thus be able to reverse the order may take so long that the dissolving Vault social structure would not place them on top when it re-formed. They decided to stage an armed coup to force Katherine to reverse Overseer Order 745.
Below the Overseer's Office is a long tunnel leading to a room with a projector and a chair. Pleasant scenes are shown while a voice reassures the sacrifice that they lived a good life and their next one will be better yet. The door locks as soon as the projection starts, and when it's done, the walls open up to reveal two side rooms containing one Security Droid, six Turrets (three on each side, various versions), and three Mister Gutsy. It is also possible for the hostiles to be two sentry bots, one robobrain, and six Turrets (three on each side, versions still varying). The hostiles are most likely determined by the player's level. If defeated, the player can then access a small room with the vault mainframe computer inside. This computer unlocks the door and reveals that there were only 5 survivors of the vault when they chose to stop sending sacrifices. There is also a recording that is likely played when they refuse. It states that by not sending a sacrifice, they are "a shining beacon to humanity" and they will not be killed. They are also informed that the vault door is then unlocked so they can come and go as they please but are urged to consult with their Overseer before they do so.
As is presented by the first audiolog upon entry to the Vault, the fate of the final survivors is to commit suicide as a means of punishing themselves for the events that happened in the vault. This is not apparent the first time the player listens to the tape as "I'll go first" is interpreted as referring to exiting the vault. In the audiolog, there is an argument of five people: man, referred to as "Voice 1" tries to convince the other four (three males and a female) to leave tha vault. As conversation moves on, it becomes clear, that they are the last vault survivors, that refused to "sacrifice" and found out the truth. "Voices" 2 (female), 3 (reffered as Henry), 4 and 5 decided to commit suicide when they found out about the vault's experiment, while "Voice 1" is trying to convince them to leave the vault and spread the word about what happened there. Four gunshots are heard followed by the sound of a pistol dropping to the floor, which would mean that "voices" 2, 3, 4 and 5 shot themselves and the "Voice 1" dropped his gun, terrified by the sight. Record ends and what happened to "Voice 1" is unknown. There are 4 skeletons and a 10mm pistol near vault entrance, so, apparently, "Voice 1" left the vault.
In conclusion, Vault 11, like every other part of the Vault Experiment, was nothing more than a social experiment testing human nature - most specifically the ability to sacrifice oneself for others, and the ability to place ideals above forcing that sacrifice on others. The Enclave was almost certainly pleased with the findings; the population immediately surrendered to the threat, eventually integrated it into their everyday lives, and even made sacrifices simply to preserve power cliques in the face of potentially positive change. Finally it resulted in a civil war that (we assume) left just 5 survivors, who finally refused to submit - and afterward chose to die rather than live with the consequences of their actions. All useful information for a group devoted to global domination such as the Enclave.
Only one question remains; there were five survivors when the experiment ended, five people who entered the suicide pact, but only four skeletons - and only a single gun - in the Vault's entrance room. The one who fired the shots that killed the others did not commit suicide himself, but entered the wasteland. His fate is as yet unknown. [/quote]

One of the best Vault story lines in all of Fallout, If I do say so myself.
I now want to know what happened to the 5th man...
Wait, why'd you speed the video up? The time limit was uped to 15 minutes a short while ago.
