Forum:Super Mutants

At which point will having Super Mutants appear in Fallout games become ridiculous?

Considering their origins, a government/military engineered virus which was still in the experimental stages when the bombs hit, their inability to reproduce and the fact that it's tradition for the Player Character to mow down copious amounts of them in nearly every game of the series, you have to wonder, just how many humans did the Master and Vault 87 dip exactly? How many workers did the Enclave use while excavating Mariposa?

It just seem that any future appearance of significant numbers of super mutants will just be stretching things way too thin to make any sense. I personally wouldn't want to hear that there was another facility with vats full of FEV or some fan fiction level drivel about some "forgotten unity patrol the Master sent out" which made it to Louisiana or Miami or whatever and set up shop.

you do know that the super mutants can convert normal humans into new super mutants. they did it in fallout 3. its just not fool proof, so a lot of their captives die in the process. so i don't think its a stretch. JimmyDreznaut017 04:27, August 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * But the Vault 87 mutants were running out of FEV and aimlessly searching for more throughout Fallout 3. Dr. Lobotomy 17:19, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

yes, but it would be easy enough to say that they found some more or found a way to make more. like maybe they get some from the enclave, found it in the ruins of raven rock. or just killed them and took it. it would just be an easy step to insert a reason for how they get it.
