Vault-Tec designed post-apocalyptic shelters called Vaults to enable humanity to survive in the aftermath of a worldwide nuclear war, though the majority of these Vaults were in reality controlled, often unethical human experiments. The Vault Boy illustrates character statistics and selectable attributes, and from ''Fallout 3'' onward, models wearable equipment. Various trailers and animations starring Vault Boy have also been made over the years to advertise different ''Fallout'' games. Vault Boy should not be confused with the Pip-Boy, the wearable computer used by the player to access their inventory. | ||
