Comment on The Fallout TV show might have answered a decades-old question in the video games

Eh, you don’t put 100s of people in cryo overnight.
Like, wasn’t that F4? Some people had went into cyro early to be safe, but the PC has to sprint last second to make it in?
Even among the general population, people seemed to know it was coming soon, just not that day.

No idea, I only played F3 a very long time ago, and the very beginning / intro of NV.
But I feel that would only prove my point further because they clearly did not get surprised by a foreign launch if they were already in the vault but already preparing for it, which would be hard to do since they likely did not have knowledge of a possible Chinese launch long in advance. The whole cold war state of getting nuked was going on for quite a long time in that universe so that feeling was already there anyway. I don't think they strictly stated that they nuke themselves either, Vault-Tec might've just attacked China with them, which then retaliated due to MAD and became the scapegoat.
