No, no, and add to that another no. Keep things seperate please. What was established in Fallout 3 can continue to be a part of the East Coast setting now, but don't include anything else.

Wasn't it explained that the reason radscorpions are everywhere is because they are mutant emperor scorpions that could be found in every pet store across the U.S.?

why not? lol animals/creatures spread across open lands naturely, the US is still a giant land mass and these fly making it even more likely

I'm imagining the "Legendary Glowing Cazador" as we speak.

Eeek! Run!!!!!

Just checked the wiki. Yep. That's their origin, with Razlo's dialogue from Fallout 1, which the Fallout Bible says is correct, and Herbert Daring Dashwood's terminal from Fallout 3, being cited as the sources.

Hell, even if that wasn't their origin, their presence across America wouldn't be that surprising to me. They seem incredibly resilient, and I doubt they have too many natural predators. Like Deathclaws, they could probably expand throughout the entire country fairly quickly.

Yeah this. Blummin Blood bugs and Stingwings are enough thanks lol. I'd rather see ants back and I wasn't all that keen on them in the first place... Still a lot better than spiders though. *shudder*

Interesting, the main problem with the Cazador was that like all small flyers they are hard to hit without VAT, followers on the other hand was good at hitting them.

Deathclaws had 500 health and did 125 damage, Cazador 200 health and 70 damage +8*30=240 poison damage.

Unlike us deathclaws can not use antidote and they might have problems turning fast enough.

Could almost expect fight to end with both parts dead as the would do lots of damage over time.

I'm pretty sure tarantula hawk wasps reside only on the west coast of the US. What would they be doing on the far opposite side of the country?

You need to carry shotguns or melee weapons around. Power Fists and Shotguns dont really need VATs for FO4 flyers. Everything else pretty much does unless your sniping em from a distance.

Vat works nice for me here, only place I use it as default outside of finding enemies. Thought the esplosive minigun should work well however the bullets who miss explodes far behind them.
