Am I the only one thinks they are smaller? Even the behemoth looks just as big as overlord.

The super mutant Behemoths in Fallout 3 were scaled up from what they were originally designed to be, which is why the fire hydrants they carried as weapons were so comically oversized.

The ones in Fallout 4 are actually the size they were originally designed to be in Fallout 3.

And the ones in FO3, were roughly to scale with the ones in Fallout 2; so does that mean they are smaller in Boston?

The only ones that seem smaller to me are the behemoths.

All the others just appear to be hunching over more then they did in Fallout 3, which hides their true height.

If they are actually smaller then in Fallout 3, and no reason why is stated, then it simply a retcon of Vault 87 super mutant height. Assuming they are vault 87 super mutants in the first place.

There are no behemoths in f2.

This is well known. "The ones in FO3", compared to "the ones in Fallout 2", are the ones in both games; regular supermutants.

Yes, enemies to large to fit in doorways are training dummies. Mammoths and Giant was perfect for training archery or destruction in Skyrim, draw agro, return to open world doorway and shoot at them.

Most doors in Fallout 4 will not be load doors. so you select an 9 mm gun, aim at target, strap down the fire button and walk the dog, level up on return.

Nice that somebody use their head, hopefully this apples to dialog the same way as Fallout 3 improved level scaling over Oblivion.

You're doing it all wrong, man. You use Mammoths to clear out bandit camps

"Eye of the Beholder 2" did it right ~with one enemy only though . Players got used to blocking off enemies with doors, but the big dragon at the end, would destroy doors when he came to them. It'd be impressive if the Behemoths could do that; [hit doors with their club, to break/enlarge them just enough to pass through them].

Did I see somewhere that enemies can follow the PC between worldspaces? (Like in BG2)

Well, we can shoot off ghouls' limbs. Maybe Super Mutants can slightly keep their shoulders and head down and go trough doors?

Perhaps they are not small, maybe they are far away...

There needs to be a mod that makes equippable clubs of lost limbs. Such that any attacker (or PC) can pick one up and use it ~even their own.

It could be that smaller supermutants indicate smarter ones.

(Not impossible ~perhaps, that the PC can rally a faction for aid against another? SMs against the machines?)

Here's a picture of what I'm assuming is a regular Super Mutant: http://i.imgur.com/cSkuMRm.pngIt looks to be a little bit bigger than the PC.

There's also the Behemoth: http://i.imgur.com/uxETjV4.pngI'm guessing it's at least twice the PC's size, and carrying a fire-hydrant. So, yeah. Looks like they've both been down-scaled a bit.

Looks scaled down ~a lot. The Behemoth looks like a normal supermutant. At that distance, the first SM shown, looks to be just a head taller than the PC.

*Also the forearms on that mutant are longer than its shins.

**Nice Behemoth model.

Maybe you could note how possibly old the mutations are and how far they are away from the FEV exposure from either 87 or Mariposa.

Sadly... I do think that since there are supermutants confirmed, that there will be a newly minted source of FEV in Boston.

According to a picture I found, and current knowledge, their is no Military fortifications near the Boston area. Which could only mean that the enclave could have brought it from DC. Possible Enclave Connection?

Or they are experiment subjects of The Institute, combined with both mariposa and vault 87 traits?

You make a good statement. But, very little is know about the capabilities of the Instiute. Also to mention that the FEV was a military experiment only avavible from the Enclave who evacuated from the west coast. Maybe an Enclave Vertibird or two defected from the main force to go to Boston? We never know until the game comes out.

I'm guessing they are somehow linked to vault 87. Mariposa is probably too far, and we know many super mutants from vault 87 have been scouring the wastes for ways to create more. Maybe these are from a group that's been searching or they did find another way to create more.

I prefer it, I can see the large muscle growth, or change in skin tone as being reasonable scifi transformations, but the massive size change sort of had a hint of "too much", but that's subjective I suppose.

At first I thought behemoth is something like The Master, consumed and combined multiple mutant in one body.

I thought the Behemeths were absurd in F3. I think these are much better.

But behemoth is the only reason I use fatman.

I was under the impression that behemoths are basically like the final boss in Fallout 2 (Frank Horrigan). Wasn't he bigger than the other supermutants for some reason? Or am I mis-remembering?
