Vault Dweller's Diary Introduction

Click below to read the introduction to my Bethesda-inspired series of shorts, Vault Dweller's Diary.

If you haven’t heard about Fallout 3 yet, you either don’t care about video games or live in a vault yourself. Fallout 3 is Bethesda’s contribution to the acclaimed Fallout series, originally developed by Black Isle Studios and published by Interplay. It takes place in the year 2277, 200 years after the series’ nuclear apocalypse. You play a character of your own design, a runaway from Vault 101 (a safehouse in the D.C. area where people who had bought space could hide out indefinitely).

I’ve spent a good amount of time laughing with this game. It has a very dark, tongue-in-cheek humor that I can appreciate, being removed from the situation by at least the distance from my couch to my TV. But what must it be like for the character, living this bleak and hopeless existence? Enter Vault Dweller’s Diary, my own chronicling of the new Vault Dweller’s experiences, starting from two days after the escape, game time.
