Geek Remix: Fallout Creatures Explained

[Versuvius]

FEV exposure is also responsible for creature gigantism and intelligence. While it does target haploid cells as 'damaged' and fixes them hence the sterility, the wasteland is absolutely drenched in either a radiation damaged form of FEV or mutated. Somewhere in the game logs of one of the games it mentions that this large amount of FEV also causes gigantism in the wasteland. The fire ants were made by a scientist with a vat of pure FEV with a breeding queen.

That whole thing is terribly written. I am sorry.

Edit: Also, i want a mod for 4 that gives me a pet babby deathclaw to raise like in NV |:

WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOAAAAA
Learn about spoiler alerts!!! Deathclaw story is a spoiler!!!

Before finding out about the origins of the Deathclaws, I always figured they descended from radiation affected house cats. Think about it, both species do share a lot of common traits.

Maybe cats are one of the animals spliced into the deathclaw pre war.

From the lizard they got the ability to blend in with their surroundings and general appearance. From cats, they got speed, agility, claws, and being a jerk.

Well the whole finally recovering thing.
That's just the East Coast.
We've been seeing the West Coast recovering since Fallout 2 in the form of the New California Republic.
What's the biggest sign of recovery?
In Fallout:New Vegas there's enough of an economic surplus to support tourism.
You've really recovered if you got enough spare resources lying around to go on vacation to a casino.

Nifty vid. I don't think I'll be able to co-exist with Deathclaws though; too many bad experiences from New Vegas.

So, how do you explain that Mole Rats went from cow sized Mole/Rat cross abominations to wiener dog sized Naked Mole Rat pack assholes in the space of 10 years?

FEV, most likely. Radiation isn't the cause of most mutations in the fallout world, FEV (Forced Evolutionary Virus) is.

New Vegas is a special case because it had a mostly functioning ABM system designed by Robert House. The rest of the world, for some insane reason, did not.

I had no idea there were friendly Deathclaws! I've only played Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, all the Deathclaws I encountered attacked on me sight.

Bloatflies are called bloatflies because they have a gas-filled bladder that takes up most of the space in their abdomen, which is what allows them to fly despite having tiny wings. They're practically buoyant in the atmosphere. It's also why they tend to explode when killed.

This! They also shoot their maggots as projectiles. I believe this is all explained when you go see Dr Duffy at the science centre in diamond city. Its gamma rays according to the good doctor not more plentiful oxygen.

I kept waiting for her to go, "Why are these creatures like this? 'CAUSE FUCKIN' SPACE MAGIC."

Haha!
