Favorite kind of super-mutants

Post » Thu May 29, 2014 11:15 am

Seems that the Fallout series brought us a wide range of super-mutants.

What do you think of them ?

Personnally i much prefer super-mutants that don't attack on sight, that you can interact with.

IMO, most SM were men & women that didn't choose to join the Master. They were dipped unwillingly.

So, after the Master downfall, i find logical to see many of them having nostalgia of him, but also others that just want to have a normal life.

A normal life that is hard to have, considering many others chose to be still at war. As it is impossible for them to hide the fact they are super-mutants, they are still unwillingly bigotted because of their brethen behavior. Almost everything that happen to them is forced on them and it is very interesting to see how they cope with it. On that perspective the Super-mutants i love the most are the smart sane super-mutants, like Marcus or The Lieutenants.

On the other hand, the schyzophrenian super-mutants are a very welcomed addition in the pool.

Not only there are still quite smart, even if unstable, but they are brought to give us insight of their feelings, unwillingly by saying things that go beyond their initial intend. Learning things from them is a nice alternative to sane super-mutants, that only say what they intend to say.

About first generation dumb super-mutants, i hope they don't get mistaken with second generation super-mutants. Those are dumb, but followed the Master principle and discipline, contrary to second Generation super-mutant that never knew him.

About East Coast super-mutant, they make me very uneasy, as i fear that, by not interacting beside fighting, that they would encourage new players bigotry agains't those great beings. Also, those giants beast aren't my taste either. I would have prefered some vicious super-mutants, rather than those dumb brutes.

Fallout Tactics Super Mutants? You do know they are West Coast (Mariposa Super Mutants) first generation right? They went East after the death of the Master.

You also have PoS in the poll :stare:

Other then that I am just going to lump all the West Coast super mutants together (including the ones from Tactics) and say I like them the most.

I voted the first three; [Check boxes :smile:].

But I do prefer the original concepts as they best fit the premise of the series take on mutation.

*That and they look cooler. :chaos:

The FoBos/FoT super-mutants are technically west coast super-mutants, but know a lot of design changes.

Some like those changes, other don't.

Personnally, while there is some faithfullness on the Unity remnants in FOT, i don't like the design changes they brought and don't give them my vote.

I went with smart-west-coast, Marcus is one of my favorite NPCs of all time.

Where does Harold fit in? He IS my favorite NPC, I assume he is smart-west-coast also. Even though he looks like a ghoul.

I would put him amongs the unusual abomination which was, IMO an option for anything FEV related that isn't a super-mutant.
