It was all too strangely reminiscent of Margaret AtwoodвЂ™s dystopian novel, The HandmaidвЂ™s Tale, where women who were found to still be fertile after substantial contamination of the environment were distributed as a kind of rented womb to families with sufficient funds and status in order to sire children and to maintain the human population. That was the point at which she, as a woman of child-bearing years and ability (obviously), had become just another resource.

She had her own little uniform, an entirely different one. After the deed was done my female dweller emerged from and the back roomВ looking miserable and physically uncomfortable (though dwellers can have a higher happiness level) and the game had taken away her vault jumpsuit and had given her a bright yellow shirt and blue pants. The two would soon start flirting and then theyвЂ™d go into the back room together and вЂњget happy.вЂќ After that dude was going to come out looking smug and the woman was going to come out pregnant. I had read about other peopleвЂ™s gameplay and IвЂ™d seen the pictures. I put a male and female survivor in the living quarters together and left them. I did the thing that I thought that I would never do in this game. No matter what I did or how long I waited I couldnвЂ™t get more survivors to show up at the door of the original vault and I couldnвЂ™t build a radio studio to lure more there because I didnвЂ™t have enough vault dwellersВ to unlock one.ДЄnd then I did it. But being the kind of person who wonвЂ™t go back to a previous save or otherwise try to change the trajectory of my gameplay I just couldnвЂ™t bring myself to delete that original vault. I decided that I needed a fresh start so I started my second vault. And then on the third day something horrible happened: Rad Roaches blew through my vault and killed damned near everyone before I could kill them all because we were light on weapons. I have been playing Fallout Shelter (iOS) almost constantly since it launched.В I started with just one vault and thought that I might get that one up and running solidly before I started a second. When Bethesda made the E3 announcement that they were going to be releasing a mobile Fallout game I was more than a little bit excited.
