Look, Ma! Two Heads!
Is it just me or do the vaults seem to have some kind of bigotry against wastelanders?
In Fallout, you get exiled from the vault at the end simply because you faced the worst the wasteland has to offer and you have changed. As the intro for Fallout 2 said, "in confronting that which they feared, he had become something else in their eyes, and no longer their champion."
In Fallout 2, when you enter Vault City for the first time, your reputation is automatically set to anti-pathy. The residents also don't tolerate mutants or ghouls, refusing them entry into the city.
Then there's Vault 101 in Fallout 3. The overseer hates you and your father simply because you're from the outside. During Trouble on the Homefront, certain residents villify and pass judgment on you simply because you've been outside or are from the outside.
Seriously, what do vaults have against the people of the wasteland? They've forgotten that lots of wastelanders are originally from the vaults and left them once their purpose had been fulfilled. Ghouls and super mutants were once humans as well, it's not their fault the radiation or FEV changed them into what they are. Humanity only survived for so long because of their ability to adapt to change. But those who dwell in the vaults even long after the war have it so easy. Sure, maybe the wastelanders don't have pure unfiltered air, water, or food, but they survive against all odds. If humanity's prehistoric ancestors had the attitudes of those who live in the vaults, 101 in particular, we would all have gone extinct millions of years ago!
It's like some kind of racism, similar to passing judgment on someone negatively because of the color of their skin, their religion, their gender, etc.
