There have been several reports of strange lights hovering over the Wasteland not far from here. The lights were congregating over an old abandoned mine. We need to investigate this before rumors of alien visitors start spreading!

Humans Like Us is a single-stage overseer quest in Fallout Shelter.

Walkthrough[]

The top room contains a pair of dwellers that the player's dwellers can speak to. Most dialogue options have little consequence on this quest and are just for fun. The room contains a sci-fi fan outfit, just like the ones the resident dwellers are wearing. The second floor also has a dweller who is available to speak to. The next room to the left has two radscorpions. The third floor has another group of dwellers who can be spoken to. The room they are in contains a random legendary junk item. The rightmost room has a pair of radscorpions. The fourth floor has another lone dweller. The fifth floor has an irradiated radscorpion accompanied by another radscorpion. To the right of that are two more radscorpions. The sixth floor has a final group of dwellers as well as their overseer.

Depending on the dialogue options selected, it can lead to a fight. Only the first dialogue option is peaceful. Either way, an alien blaster is rewarded, and the room contains two Nuka-Cola Quantum. The next room to the left has a pair of radscorpions. On the bottom floor, there are another pair of radscorpions in the leftmost room.

Dialogue[]

Opening message Dweller response Character response
Greetings, fellow human beings, and welcome to our Vault.

It is good to encounter you, because we are a social, gregarious species.
Please feel free to walk among us, all beings hatched and grown on this planet.
Would you like beverages, foodstuff, or a complimentary exam?

This isn't really a Vault, it's an abandoned mine. Ha ha yes, you have gotten us. You are funny and as humans we like to laugh.
Have you guys seen strange lights in the sky? All lights in the sky are normal. You were confused by the planet Venus ha ha.
Sorry, complimentary what? Ha ha, just kidding. Humor is a distinctive human trait, wink wink.
[High-pitched guttural shriek]

Oh, sorry, I thought you were someone else ha ha.
It is good to talk to other humans using human-made sounds.
Please ask me a question so we may engage in a conversation.

Seen anything strange lately? Everything here is normal human stuff, no space aliens on a mission or anything.
Can we see your Overseer? Ha ha “take us to your leader” - I got that humorous cultural reference.
Look, John Smith, other fellow human beings like us ha ha.

Hello there, I am the human called John Smith, which is a human name.
My friend here is also called John Smith, so you can tell he is also human.
Neither of us is hiding his true form with optical camouflage, that would be absurd ha ha.

We're investigating strange lights in this area. There is no need, you should go back home to enjoy a nice beverage and foodstuff.
Nice to meet you both. Are you related? Ha ha well we were hatched in the same pod, so to speak ha ha.
I don't see many women here... Are you guys all male? Good catch ha ha but seriously we do need females if you can spare some that'd be great.
I would very much like to telephone home.

Ha ha just kidding, this Vault is our home now.
We just need to make the large, stinging invertebrates leave.
They like killing us, for some reason ha ha.

This isn't a Vault, it's a cave. Ha ha you say Zeta Reticuli a, I say Zeta Reticuli b...
You mean Radscorpions? We'll take care of those. It is through collaboration that our primitive species evolves!
Ah, the other humans of which we have heard. I am the one called Overseer.

I hope you find everything here normal and not at all disquieting ha ha.
It is important that you do not feel like you are examined by superior beings.
Please confirm that you do not feel like you are examined by superior beings.

You guys seem like pretty regular folks. Super, now go tell others never to come here because everything is normal ha ha.
About those strange lights... Ha ha no problem just look inside the opening of this pistol-like artefact.
Well, you guys are a *little* bit weird. ALERT! ALERT! ENGAGE EXTERMINATION PROTOCOL!
