Talk:Vault 108

It's probably a bug, but I crept in on Gary 47 and I was still undetected when he said "Don't point that thing at me." a second before I shot him.

Note

It's not a lowercase lamda on the door. It's just shifted (for unknown reason - maybe a bug) shader which emulates shining.
To be more precise - it's shifted towards the top-right corner.

Confirmed, the bump map and specular map of vault 108's door are misaligned. I edit the comment.
Plus, there is wild speculation that does not rely on in-game data, which therefore has nothing to do in the factual page.
Original text :
_{There is a lowercase "Ы" symbol painted across the numbers on the Vault's main door.
It is theorized that due to the internal strife Gary was clone to perform menial tasks to make up for the population loss.
This is likely due to the fact that most vaults hold around 1000 people yet somehow 54 insane clones over powered them.}

I agree. I took out the speculation regarding Gary 1. This isn't a fanfic page. FistFullofNovocain 23:32, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Another possibility regarding the clones is that perhaps Vault-Tec included the cloning technology in the vault to begin with, to get a better grasp of how a large number of people, identical in 'every' way, would have a power struggle. - Anon 21:51, 28 January 2009 (US EST, GMT-6)

Being John Malkovich

I was about to come here and add something about this being a possible reference to being john malkovich and it's already here :D 82.34.116.4 19:10, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Looks like the Malkovich has been removed. I guess unless we can get someone at Bethesda to confirm the reference, it's all speculation. --Ayumix 20:33, 10 February 2009 (UTC) (PS. It would have been cool if when you exited Vault 108, you're dumped off in the middle of nowhere near a highway. :).

Tumbler's Today

I really hope this isn't one of the 30 or however many scattered throughout the game, as I'm a 360 player and after blowing it up with plasma mines and the like for about 10 minutes agree that it is inaccessible.

It's not TOTALLY inaccessible. I play on 360 and was able to get it with 3 frag mines, 3 pulse mines, and a pulse grenade. The explosion didn't blow it out of the corner, but it did knock it into a position where I could pick it up.--PwnzerfaustMonk 20:25, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Care to share your method? (where you placed the mines, what part of the step-ladder the book was sticking out on) I've been trying to do this for at least an hour with no success. Of course, I only have access to frag mines from vendors atm. --Xethan 06:35, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Finally got this to work (360), so I'll share my own method. I used 2 frag grenades on the other side of the wall from the step-ladder. I would bounce one on the ground, and then throw one high immediately after. That way, by the time the high one got over the bounced one, the bounced one's explosion would set the other off. The book was not entirely visible (probably standing up on it's end), poking through the side of the step-ladder, next to the crate. I didn't see it, but I happened to hover over it when I picked it up. --Xethan 07:15, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Could it not be entirely fesible for PC users to utilise the 'noclip' console command to get this? Something to include on the actual page maybe? 91.85.183.187 19:09, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

Raider corpse?

Supposedly, there's the corpse of a raider north of 108 that has some sort of note on it. I've explored every inch of the area ALL around the vault, from the Corvega Factory to the Robot Repair Center, and I never found a damn thing.

If I remember correctly it is a little south of 108. Bottrot 22:13, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Gary 41 bug?

I know there have been some problems with Garys talking in normal voices, but this one is just wierd. I'm sneaking through the Vault (100 sneak w/ the stealth suit) and I point my rifle at Gary 41. He looks dead at me, says "Don't point that thing at me!"

I checked my stealth meter, and I was undetedted. I sat, shocked, for a second, then fired. 68.103.131.22 11:01, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Chasity Belt

Gathered peanut gallery of rad roaches... Is this a hoax?

moved from article

1. Moved from article:

*Wearing the Chinese Stealth Suit and using any scoped weapon I was able to get the Gary clones to say more than just "Gary". When scoped in for a head shot (not using VATS), sometimes having to wait a moment, the Gary clones will look at you and say one of the following phrases: "That's not a good idea." "Don't point that thing at me." "Hey knock it off." "Easy there." " What do you think you're doing?" "Be careful with that." I was a little startled and disturbed when this first happened to me. I was using the Perforator and just before I took the shot Gary 43 turned to me and said "Don't point that thing at me." This did not reveal my location to the other clones but non-the-less I was still a bit surprised. I reloaded several times, even went back to my house and picked up every scoped weapon I had and retried this. It worked everytime, with every scoped weapon. This was done with and without other clones around, while crouching still.(360)

It's in first person and doesn't make a whole lot of sense, this has already been discovered as well, if anyone disagrees please change it to 3rd person and re-add--Glewis 17:46, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

I agree with the move DragonJTS 17:46, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

First-person usage alone would be enough to get rid of it IMO. --MadCat221 22:01, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

combat armour?

I've been looking for a long while now, is the information correct about the combat armour being in the cloning labs? Or is it not in a locker? Am i just being dumb or....?--Glewis 17:50, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

It's there, but I wasn't paying attention to where I picked it up exactly. It WAS in the cloning lab, and IIRC it was probably a locker. Anyway, combat armor is not hard to find, so it's not a big deal if you miss it. 24.6.4.179 06:29, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

A Gary Family

Has anyone tried naming their character Gary at the beginning of the game? If so, would they recognize you as a fellow Gary instead of a non-Gary? Creepypasta 01:10, 10 June 2009 (UTC) I tried even Harry, but this didn't work :D Actually Garys are always hostile.

Ironic?

I just realized it's kinda ironic that you find the Charisma Bobblehead here, since the only thing the Garys can say is "Gary" and are hostile and not charismatic at all... :P213.65.69.18 19:37, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

The Charisma theme likely comes into play from the fact that the social portion of the Vault 108 experiment was meant to test vying for leadership and/or dominance in the event of a power vacuum. Either that or you're right and it's meant to be completely ironic. =P -Schneidend 09:50, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Vault Door

For me on the 360 the vault door opened and closed perfectly fine if the door itself was activated, the control pod did nothing though.

      Yeah i also found this happening. weird. 173.71.75.54 12:43, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

ghouls?

$[[Media:E = Mc²]]$

I was at the entrance and went threw one of the doors, to find a mole rat running against a wall with its attacking motion. i didnt understand this till i heard a ghoul yell and saw a bit of him coming out of the wall. i killed the mole rat and if i stood there i cood hear the ghoul yelling and running but he was trapped halfway in the wall. i coodnt vats him or shoot him so i just kept going.

Sorry, I just had to mess with the formula. XP

In regards to your question, there aren't any ghouls in the Vault, only Garys. There might be one or two dead ones, so there may have been a spawn bug. Nitty 03:32, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Weird Wastelander

I was heading out of vault 108 when I heard a rapid drumming noise and turned left. In the wall was the body of a wastelander, stuck in the wall, with his head going left to right hitting the wall. It was at the entrance to vault 108. --Rbird090 05:13, 15 August 2009 (UTC)Rbird090
