Why Did Lucy MacLean Shoot Her Mother?Lucy shoots her mother, Rose, to end her suffering. In the Fallout season 1 finale she finds Rose chained up as a feral ghoul, years after Hank's bomb destroyed Shady Sands. Ella Purnell calls it a mercy kill, and a sign Lucy has started to become the Ghoul.
Why Did Mr. House Fill Vault 21 With Concrete?Mr. House won Vault 21 in a game of blackjack, stripped it for parts and poured concrete into everything but part of its top floor. The game never lets him explain why. Here is what Fallout: New Vegas actually shows, and the likeliest reasons.
