The real purpose of vaults was experiments. Most of all vaults had a secret experiments Vault 101 was designed to see how the residents react t long term isolation from the outside. Vault 87 was testing the effects of FEV virus. You can go to the fallout 3 wiki for more information.
Yes. Seven vaults exist in Fallout 3. One of them is Vault 101, where your character begins the game. For spoilers as to who or what lives within the remaining vaults, check http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault .
No. The vaults are simply a big plot device in the Fallout series. The vaults are used to show the McCarthyism and fear of nuclear war that was occurring in America before the events of the game, and as a starting point in Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout 3 to show an unfamiliarity and danger of the Wasteland. But there will be a vault 101 in reality very soon
There are 7 vaults as follows: Vault 87 Vault 92 Vault 101 Vault 106 Vault 108 and Vault 112
All Vault Tech Vaults in Fallout 3 where made public. You are talking about private shelters that are scattered throughout the Capitol Wasteland.
There vaults a pretty much in the same section as each other, just spread out a bit.
Short answer yes!....there is one in japan that's 150 ft underground.
Vault 106 is one of the underground vaults by Vault Tech in the game that was used to store people when the nuclear bombs hit America. It is abandoned, just like all of the other vaults except for 101, which is where your character is from.
there isent a real password its a scam.
In Fallout 3 vault 101 is the only Vault still active, every single other vault the people went crazy and then they killed eachother, simply because they wanted to leave the vault so bad because they were trapped in there
anything is possible...except for this
You can`t. But the real question is why would you want to?
Occasionally Fallout: New Vegas will freeze, but not as frequently as Fallout 3.
