    6:29 WV Strain. During Fo76’s beta, I jumped into the vats hoping to turn. No luck. Interestingly during early development, the FEV Super Mutant mutation was a usable mutation, but several mutations were exclusive and couldn’t be mixed with others of their type. One turned you into a super mutant who, over the course of several ingame days would transform as hair would fall out, the intellect skill would diminish, strength and endurance increase, and charisma lower. This early mutation system also allowed for “ultimate” forms as a temporary skill of sorts. Super Mutants would go behemoth in a frenzy, Mole Men would surge forth in burrowing charges and a fury of shovel-like claws and gnashing teeth, and the scaley/deathclaw mutation would become a pseudo deathclaw beast, rending claws and powerful muscles.
    Even now, if given the chance, i’d ditch my PA and regular armor to be a super mutant in game.

    An interesting angle for the next game could be a super mutant faction with higher intelligence that recreated the fev and there could be some conflict between forcing it on wastelanders or giving them a choice to under go the change. They're motives could delve into the ideas of preserving a species and culture, or allowing an faulty system to die out.

    • @davidhong1934
      @davidhong1934 11 днів тому +1

      Some level of lore consistency could be preserved.
      Terminal entries by the Brotherhood of Steel suggest that super mutants in the Capital Wasteland were all but eradicated. Maybe, instead of total extinction, some mutants fled to the Commonwealth. There, they regroup and make plans to take back their original homeland.
      With some finagling, the Institute plot can also fit in. The migration could've started earlier, with a few wayward mutants wandering into the Commonwealth. Captured by the Synth scouting parties, these mutants were brought into the Institute and cloned for experimentation. When the experiments inevitably fail, the new batch of mutants are left on the surface. Initially disorganized, the Commonwealth mutants are later brought under the leadership of the more experienced Capital mutants, forming a number of Super Mutant tribes.
      Perhaps the Institute starts off disdainful of their presence. However, as the BoS encroaches upon their doorstep, contact is reestablished. A deal is struck: in exchange for more mutants, these tribes must help the Institute fight the Brotherhood.
      Obviously, both sides are planning betrayal. The mutants in particular know they're in a lose-lose situation; even if they survive a sevond war with the BoS, the Institute will finish them off. However, there is disagreement within their ranks on how to handle the predicament.
      Some Capital mutants are adamant in their decision to fight the BoS, while others think they should retreat once more. Meanwhile, the Commonwealth mutants possess enough knowledge of their creation to both need and resent the Institute. They also despise their Capital brethren, as they are treated with scorn for essentially being copies made in their image.
      Whatever the case, the Commonwealth super mutants will not survive the conflict

    People shit on the Institute Super Mutants but honestly I think they're the scariest ones, more human looking, highly intelligent and social creautures who live in packs, with a hierarchy system similar to the Master's strain of Mutants, they're also very mean looking, highly mutated and bloated, as if that FEV strain is perfected, they're also very conscious of what they are and what they _were_ more importantly, something no other Mutant strains showed.
    People shit on the fact they exist in the Commonwealth, but in fact, that is the place where it would make the most sense for them to exist, due to the highest accomodation of science institutes pre-War, and even more sense for them to be perfected post-War

    bethesda's need to make super mutants into generic mob enemies always bums me out a bit. I always think its a shame when an entire race of sentient beings are just there for you to kill. They should have a culture, they should be diverse, and, well, usually for the other homicidal factions you can at least find a few people you can talk to about it. Even join in sometimes.
    Even Fawkes disappoints me. He gives us a glimpse into the idea that these creatures could actually be smart, but then he only really exists to be a "not like the other girls" character who's happy to murder every other member of his species. I get the lore reason why east coast supermutants are the way they are, but from a writing standpoint, it's incredibly shallow and betrays a complete lack of curiousity in what these beings could really be like

      Because they tested it in secret. If I remember correctly, Mariposa was guarded by soldiers who would become the BoS and even they didn't know what was going on down there (and when they found out, they defected). Similar to the real reason for the vaults, the shadow government, aka Enclave, didn't want the normal person to know what's going on. That's why (originally) just one place. For the FEV in general regarding the Wasteland, it's everywhere, just in a small dose, and the cause for most of the mutations (like the sixth toe of the protagonist of Fallout 2, if I'm not mistaken).

    On one hand, New Vegas fanboys would complain if they just straight copied them over to F3 and made them act the exact same way as F1. On the other, they still whine because the mutants who have no Master to guide them and are basically inbred are dumb.
    You can’t win with Obsidian purists. The mutants in F3 were the most interesting for me given just how tragic their story is. Without a master or any pure Dwellers to take captive. They effectively have no leadership and so are ignorantly just kidnapping whoever or whatever they can get their hands on in a desperate attempt to not go extinct...
    That’s peak Fallout 3, a dystopian and horrifying reality that you can’t escape from. Fits the game and world perfectly.

      Fallout 3 and 4 aren’t bad games per se, it’s just that in comparison Obsidian did what they did way better in many ways. People are “New Vegas / Obsidian” purists for many reasons, not just because 3 and 4 are poor in comparison to New Vegas. New Vegas itself is a wonderful game with some of the best fiction writing I’ve seen, with many people and professional critics agreeing. In tune, the world building is also stellar and outshines that of 3 and 4. This is why people enjoy the game more, because it is easier to relate it to the Fallout lore established in the past. But, I also agree with many of the “obsidian purists” on the regard of super mutants. They had no reason to exist in Fallout 3, and if they had to add them, they should’ve made them more specialized and refined and related to the Enclave, like Frank Horrigan, instead of the brutish caricatures they became. People just dislike the lazy writing.

      My comment explains that.

All you’ve done is repeat the same tired talking points all NV fanboys do whenever they are losing the argument. Which is cope and use nonsensical points like “bad writing” and “unimmersive”...
      Even if what you said was true which again you haven’t proven me wrong. You just say I’m wrong and pretend like you don’t need evidence. But even then how does that excuse the very behavior I just described?
      You say F3 and F4 aren’t as good as FNV... ok but how does that justify the criticism they receive? You even say yourself they aren’t bad games per say... yet you and many others treat them like garbage. It just sounds like you liked FNV direction more then anything which in my experience talking with you lot is just a fact.
      You guys like the more world based lore stuff then inner personal struggles. You like big factions, big conflicts and politics...
      Well F3 isn’t about that. It’s about surviving the apocalypse, the harsh reality of it. It’s about overarching mysteries and deep running plots. Character struggles rather then faction based ones. Hence why your character having a personal link in the story is so important. It’s about all that.
      In the end, all you’ve done is validate my point. You say they have “no place” in F3 but my comment alone refutes that bs idea. They do and they have a really significant part to play in F3 dystopian, sad, melancholy atmosphere and setting. Honestly I wish you were just honest and started crying about how much of a Bethesda shill I am or something because really your reply just comes off as a poor attempt to be civilized...
      After all despite your rather calm writing... you clearly ignored each and every point I made in favor of writing the same bs many other NV fanboys do.
