Each vault tested certain conditions, often absurd and ridiculous, sometimes completely disturbing. Actually, they were large-scale social experiments. So it should come as no surprise that the vaults themselves weren't meant to help people. They'd go on to research how to evolve humans with the FEV virus, along with a slew of other questionable weaponry and tech. As cliche as it might be, that power corrupted them. While the war ramped up in Fallout, Vault-Tec became very powerful-practically another branch of the government. At the very least, if someone does something "as a social experiment" to get away with amoral behavior, we'd likely think that person is an ass. Many would argue that social experiments are inherently immoral and wrong. There are other social experiments like it, in that they are testaments to our humanity-from how far we'd go to hurt others, to how long it takes us to go to someone's aid (if at all). The experiment was canceled before it ran its course out of fear of what would happen otherwise. The guards hazed and abused the prisoners, and the prisoners would have breakdowns. It didn't take long before they all forgot it wasn't real, and the results were disturbing.
They didn't leave any detail out-prisoners got "arrested," the guards were given batons, and so on.
Half of them became guards, half became prisoners. You know how most of the social experiments we hear about show that humanity is kind of screwed up? There's the famous Stanford Prison Experiment, for instance, where normal everyday men pretended to run a prison. The issue is that the true purpose of the vaults is a nefarious one. So instead they only built 122 vaults-which, okay, still better than nothing. Not to justify what Vault-Tec did, but in a way, building enough vaults to house an entire country is kind of crazy. To the public, these vaults were supposed to help ensure the survival of the American populace after nuclear annihilation. Before United States was destroyed via atomic bombs, the government ordered the Vault-Tec corporation to build a number of underground safehouses. One of the most fascinating things about the Fallout franchise is the history of the vaults.
