Thats it! After hundreds of years, the water becomes "special" and can heal people.
Vault 69er
Water Chip? Been There, Done That
Perhaps the stagnant toilet water combines with the ambient radiation and left over particles of feces to become Super Water, heals all injuries and invigorates you!
.. or that's what VD 101 will dream about as he slips into a coma due to e.coli poisoning.

I'm curious as to what type of people Vault 101 is made up of. The other vaults had military personel and scientists, whereas Vault 101 seems that it may have got the raw end of the stick and perhaps was where all the "special" people were sent. For those who have read Hitchhikers Guide, it's not unlike the spaceship that was filled with hairdressers etc. and sent off to colonize a new world.

No they didn't. They had people who could and wanted to afford a place in a vault. There was no pre-selection for any of the vaults.Mick1965 said:

In fact it would hinder the Experiment if most of the people weren't regular American citizens.
Though it still looks like Vault 101 is somewhat lacking in the education department.
Which, then again, makes perfect sense. You don't want any kind of sample selection to spoil your experiment or the results of it. The samples must be taken randomly from the entirety and represent that entirety, so the sample variance and deviation don't go crazy.Sander said:

Sorry, should have read "some" military personel and scientists. After all, who would have run the place (computers, maintenance etc). Also, wasn't the BOS made up of military personal?
Maybe I used a bad example, but I was trying to point out that Vault 101 seems to be made up of rejects, given the toilet drinking etc.

Do that again, and it's a strike.

Look, Ma! Two Heads!
How the hell can someone honestly come up with this? Toilet drinking? What the fuck type of realism or immershun is that?
As someone said, there should be a water purification device, something simple, like the key ring you had in Deus Ex.
I mean, I can't imagine someone being shot in the gut with blood dripping on the floor thinking "god, I have to find a toilet, else I'm mutant breakfast".
And to the comment Mick made about the composition of the vault dwellers, I think Vault 101 is made up of stupid game reviewers to determine what would they do in case of a nuclear holocaust. They'd hype the dirty water.

*Sigh* I know you're referring to BOS, but there must have been some smart people in the vaults, just not vault 101 by the sound of it. Don't worry, I've obviously belabored this point to death.

Doh! You're probably right, I've mixed this one up. I haven't played FO1 & 2 for a while, something I should rectify.

They'd probably have some Vault Tec employees to run the place initially, along with the Overseers who knew about the experiment.
Though many aspects of the Vaults were probably built to be self-maintaining - just like the ideal 50's home of tomorrow.

Mind you, in the 50s wealth more often than not = education, as compared to nowadays where the wealthy are more likely to have a background in rap or sports. I couldn't imagine being in a vault with P.Diddy and David Beckham, but maybe that's what Beth's aiming for with vault 101.

Communities could collectively buy places in Vaults, such as the Mormons in Van Buren.
Perhaps Vault 101's spots were purchased by a.. "special" community.
The very word "communities" reminds me always of "communists". But I'd better stop with it right here, before giving Bethesda more <strike>silly</strike> idiotic ideas.Vault 69er said:
