Talk:Super mutant overlord

LOL
Poor Overlords. They have 8 luck, and still couldn't stop from turning into such ugly mother fu**ers Vault-BA 01:57, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, their appearance is caused by their imminent transformation into Behemoths. Kris (talk)
 * I know why they look that way. I just still think it's funny that something with 8 luck could have been turned into a Super Mutant

The luck would be for the Tri-Beam Laser Rifle crits, wouldn't it? Although having 8 Luck didn't stop me from copping a barrage of Missles, like 200 5.56mm rounds AND for starters, a plasma nade. All while assaulting the Mall. WITH MMM.--115.70.63.145 07:11, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

Hehehehe.When you kill them and repeatedly saw at their skulls with a ripper,their whole heads don't come off.Or do they except I'm not doing it right?

FACE?!
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR FACE?! Okay let me get down to it:

A Vault 87 Super Mutant's face will explode if shot enough. Mariposa Mutants as far as I know have an explodable face although I don't have Fallout or Fallout 2 so my only reference is Fallout: New Vegas. But due to the fact that 87 Mutants grow stronger when they get older and the fact that Mariposas don't (I don't think) I can come to the conclusion that:

1) Super Mutant Overlords are Vault Residents due to their intelligence to handle Tri-Beams, and have a sufficient repair skill to craft the Tri Beams. And the Brotherhood seemed to admire the Tech they had 'created' so much that it became the Mojave Chapter's Primary Weapon.

2) Most of the age/strength is diverted to the FACE! Due to fact that if you blow up an Overlord/Behemoth with an Experimental MIRV or a VATS (not FEV VATS) headshot with the Terrible Shotgun combined with Bloody Mess you can still walk up to the corpse and say: "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR FACE?!"

Bug?
I don't think that the "Super Mutant" (Chef?) in the Big Trouble in Big Town quest, the one in the kitchen with shorty, that looks like a Master/Overlord is a bug, I think it is for dramatic visual effect for beginning players, as the quest is quite early on. Can someone get this confirmed that it actually is a bug, rather than a visuall efects thing. Scarface11235 16:04, April 26, 2011 (UTC)
