in one of the trailers i saw a super mutant talking to the character and not attacking the player not nessecarily friendly but warning him its not safe

:facepalm: Play the originals. The west coast mutants are not as [censored]. There will be friendy super mutants, and there will be the ones who hate humans.

ya just like FAWKES!!!!! that beast was a double rainbow all the way "SO INTENSE"

This.


So many F03 Fan boys lol.

I want a Scythe Chariot pulled by greased up Super Mutants

he wasnt friendly he was warning the guy

In the first games, on the west coast, the super mutants were not all stupid. They were an army lead by the super mutant master. Some became friendly towards humans, while others were still loyal to the master. On the east the mutants were made with different chemicals, causing the mutants to come out dumb, and hostile.

Is it just me or do the SM in New Vegas look more like the SM in Fallout 1 and 2

West coast muties are different to east.
As well as that info posted kindly above already, two factions of mutants exist in NV, that I heard from some source here or on the wiki.

Yeah, that's probably because they are the SM from FO1 and FO2.

The only good super mutant is a dead one.

Nah, the only good Super Mutant is a smart one that loves the PC.

LIKE MARCUS!!!

Bingo!!!

i think enclave commander is leader of enclave o_O

There's going to be a mix of Smart and Stupid Super Mutants. It's all about generations. The models are going to be very different compared with the one in that trailer since it was just a placeholder. All in all, I think Obsidian did a great job with the Super Mutants.

With the Mariposa strain of FEV, the intelligence of the resultant super mutant is directly proportional to how irradiated the human is that goes in the vats. First-generation super mutants were virtually non-irradiated, and as such their intellect rivaled that of the average human - though still slightly lower, on average. Subsequent generations were increasingly irradiated (though the games only deal with the first generation and the second), and thus were dumber.

As far as Vault 87 super mutants go, it's not clear if it was just the different strain of the virus, or if there were other factors possibly including irradiation, that caused the vast majority of that breed to be exceptionally dumb; the only exceptions I'm aware of are Fawkes, who is actually at least as smart as the average human, and Uncle Leo, who may be about as smart as a first-generation Mariposa super mutant.

okay, someone has to ask...why do you want greased-up super mutants?

They should, considering they're supposed to be West Coast mutants, not the East Coast ones. As has already been said, the super mutants in Fallout 1 and 2 were created in a somewhat different fashion from the ones in Fallout 3, and aside from them not being, with a couple exceptions, always hostile to the player, this also meant they looked somewhat different. You don't even really need to play the old games to know this if you don't have an easy way to get them or don't want to for some reason, the information should also be available on the internet easily enough.

I'd guess that we'll still see some mutants that are hostile to the player, but there should certainly be more that aren't automatically hostile than in Fallout 3, I'd expect.

Cause it's sixy?
Glissening green muscular men.
Oh god, is it just me or is it getting hot in here?

Please stop the mutie sixuality its polluting our gene pool and its disgusting!!!!!

Nah I'm just kidding be with whoever you want.

But hopefully we can talk to a fair amount of SM out there just like on a recent raider page I hope we talk first before we start shooting each other into the next apocalypse.

I wonder if any are in the strip. From what I've heard there are ghouls in the strip so it'd be a little hypocritical for the people of vegas to discriminate against super mutants.

well first who doesnt like Scythe Chariots and greased up Super Mutants, it would be like 80s wrestling


Yeah i beat both Fallout 1 and 2, i was just commenting that they didnt use the same model,which i like.They could of been lazy about it and just kept the same model. I like how it really feels like an old school fallout but keeps the Bethesda open world. I mean there are still some Die Hards that want the isometric turnbased gameplay back.

I think that some super mutants actually servered in the ncr army. i might be wrong.

The NCR rangers had a mutant member but other then that I don't think so.
