Is anyone actively trying to stop me from leaving? Is there any punishment for doing so?

Is the “dangerous” outside because of something invisible, like a plague? Or is the “dangerous” a nebulous claim of “nobody goes out there”

I think plenty of people would try it just to say they did, just like the real world.

Nice try, raider. I’m staying in the vault.

All it takes is for leadership to slip up one time to start questioning everything else they told you. Like learning the tooth fairy doesn’t exist, casting doubt on the easter bunny and Santa Claus - except there’s incentives for belief. Would I go on with the charade while harbouring doubts? Escape entirely? Depends.

At the very least I’d carve a glory hole in the wall.

I thought you might have been thinking about Transformers One.

If everything I need is in the city, I wouldn’t leave. I would only leave if pushed to.

Like they’re gonna let me stay in the city.

This is the plot of The Village by M Night Shyamalan. Good movie.

It’s called New Jersey since those people can’t pump their own gas, they can’t venture into the rest of America haha.

I think there are too many factors to account for to give a good answer.

But realistically: If the walled city was stable (relative to what I knowz I can only compare things to what I know and have experienced) and my life was alright or better then or course I would stay. If I had kids in that city I would probably stay.

If it was a shitty life inside those walls, of course I would find a way to stealthily leave.

As soon as I had the chance.

I have a real problem with authority and being told what I can and cannot do.

I would probably go to test it if at all possible, especially if there is a way to come back.

In real live I already immigrated 3 times to a different country and before I had kids I was even dreaming about going to Mars even if it would have been om a one way ticket.

I’d suspect there’s something I’m not being told but I wouldn’t be brave enough to find out

depends on how difficult it is to leave?

If you look at space.

We are on a walled sphere, and my entire life I’ve been told I can’t survive in space.

Would I visit space? Sure… but I can’t get there.

I’m not moving out of my Fallout Vault, unless Overseer approves or Water Chip fails.

Curiosity definitely. I love to travel and I’ve gone to places that were fairly dangerous. No active war zones, thankfully, or places with incurable disease outbreaks or anything like that. But I’m less bothered by risk than almost anyone I know.

Depends on how the city is run. If it’s anything like Paranoia’s Alpha Complex, I’d probably die before even getting the chance to think about doing anything treasonous like that
