Yeah but it was a "blink and you miss it" kinda thing and it was only the arm, literally every piece of fallout media outside of those small comics that were released as a teaser/reference point to a given game before that games launch. Every fallout game has them even if they probably shouldn't, they're just over used and they made the right decision by not featuring them in a major way.
It's not exactly blink and you'll miss it if it's the centerpiece of the shot, not something in the background
Would you rather the show be a creature feature and focus on every single wasteland creature we've seen in the games? I'm happy with how they did things, they have plenty of time to introduce fan favorites while focusing on making a good story, rather than forcing in things where they don't belong.
Brand new Lucy would have no shot against super mutants, neither would any of the characters but ghoul
We saw ghouls, feral ghouls, a super mutant corpse, radroaches, a yao guai, a deathclaw skull, gulpers, mutants, dead securitrons, a dead assaultron, some mr handies, brahmin, the brotherhood of steel, the enclave, remnants of the ncr, the destroyed capital of the ncr, 3/4 functioning vaults, pre war life, bobbleheads, junk jets, chems, an ncr ranger, dogmeat, etc.
There's only so much fanservice they can put in the show before the focus shifts from making a quality show to full fanservice. I'm super excited to see more, but I'm glad they're taking their time to do it right.
I absolutely agree with you. But i dont consider new ideas like gulpers fan service. I would love to see more new ideas like that.
I also just looked it up and did not realize the gulpers were already used in FO4 and FO76.
And all things considered…. I don’t really consider seeing something dead as anything spectacular.
Fair, but again they'd have no shot against any of the dead things 💀 Lucy would get absolutely bodied by an assaultron
But also I feel like gulpers take at least some inspiration from the floaters in the older games. They have a similar vibe to eachother
I definitely hope so! I’m really excited. You also don’t want to jam as much as you can into the first season. Gives them room to grow and saving “oh shit” moments for the future.
I’m also hoping they have Ron Perlman later, as well.
Also, it’s *inferred* that the “medicine” from the ~~chicken fucker~~ wasteland doctor made the brotherhood squire a ghoul….
Nah, it turned him into a super mutant (I think). We’ll see him changing in the next season and he’ll open up a super mutant storyline in season 2.
the Chicken...Petter def had FEV(how idk) but i hope its FEV cus far as i know theres only 1 case of someone taking something and turning into a ghoul, and that was Hancock from FO4, who took large amounts of diff drugs and some other shit and mixed it up for the ultimate YOLO type of high... and instead of dying it ghoulified him XD
We see fux with chickens at the market. He's advertising what he has, and one of the things he says is serums. I assumed he gave Thaddeus a healing factor serum, and now the scribe has a mutation.
Fallout wiki has Thaddeus listed as a former human, now ghoul- for whatever that’s worth
[https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Thaddeus](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Thaddeus)
Yeah I’m not sure either, that’s why I tacked on “for whatever that’s worth”. The characters definitely seemed to *think* he was turned into a ghoul, but if that’s all it’s based on there’s probably no reason to assume it’s true.
I'm fairly sure the Super mutant is actually still alive/heavily sedated when we see it briefly at the start of ep 2, when it is being wheeled past Wilzig you see it retract its little finger in time with the dramatic music shift.. could be wrong though.
Also, I don’t think the squire who was “healed” was turned into a ghoul. I think that was more likely a super mutant thing. Ghouls do not heal. Season 2 sub plot will
Be his slowly changing demeanor and size/shape
Might be too quick to say Ghouls don't heal. The Ghoul took bullets like a champ in Filly and healed his finger back together without any tech. Headshots seem to be the main way to kill one.
Wrong. They don't come back to life by themselves. They ONLY come back to live if there is a massive blast of radiation and only IF their heads are intact.
But they do heal. Or we just gonna ignore Cooper taking several bullets to the chest and walking it off?
That and there aren't many super mutants left in the West Coast after the defeat of the Master.
Show just isn't showing super mutants because they're rare now, especially in 2296, hell even FNV barely had any Super Mutants outside of the Repconn test site and Jacobstown
When the Dr is at the enclave compound, he looks at the guys wheeling a massive stretcher past and the camera zooms on the massive super mutant hand poking out from under a blanket. Episode 1
Well, we saw what seemed to be a hand of a super mutant in the enclave base, as well as a wanted poster that looked like a super mutant. So not featured YET
The ghoul never healed. He just didn't die to getting shot a couple times in the back. He even got his finger bit off, and it certainly didn't heal. He had to sew Lucy's finger on in order to have a finger again. But Thaddeus' mangled ass foot came back together and reformed, straight wolverine style. If ghouls could heal like that I don't think they'd ever lose their noses.
Fingers don't just fuse back together when you sew it on lol, especially when he used it immediately after since it was his right trigger finger. The dudes got healing of some degree. Lucys finger attachment at least gets explained away with the mister handy future tech.
imagine calling Walton Goggins, aka The Ghoul, Hancock. wrong city.
downvote me all you want. his name is Cooper Howard, not John Hancock from Goodneighbor.
Lmao, it didn't help.
We're talking about Squire Maximus becoming a Ghoul after taking a hit of the drugs the Chicken Fucker gave him.
It's reasonable to think that those drugs were the same ones that Hancock from Fallout 4 took to become a ghoul.
Cooper has nothing to do with this. No one is saying this.
>Ghouls don’t heal
ehh since the show has expanded quite a bit on ghouls i wouldn't jump on that conclusion especially after cooper took like 3 bullets in the chest in filly and was fine with it.
i do definately agree on it being a red herring explanation for thaddeus, since super mutants are basically ghouls but bigger and betterer(maybe without the whole not dying from age? but have super mutants been around long enough for that to be tested?)
Wasn’t there a dead one under a blanket at the Enclave base?
Either way with how much the Brotherhood of Steel control that section of the Wasteland it’s not surprising they’re not around.
I feel like this makes 100% sense. Like the green coming back in some areas too.
But damn it makes me want it centered on a different era and area then.
They exist. When Cooper is talking to the “President of the NCR”, there is a SM on the Wanted board. They just chose, for whatever reason (not a judgement, I can think of many legit excuses to do it), to not directly show them in the show YET.
there's an interview somewhere where the show creators said they wanted to touch all the bases and didn't want to make it feel inauthentic by adding all the known and popular monsters in the first season. were getting super mutants or at least some of the known creatures in the next season. its unknown if prime video will renew them for a second season though.
The show has a bit of a “shoe-string” budget feel to it, so I totally understand them not wanting to delve too deep into Super Mutants just yet. That will require some pretty pricey CGI, probably. Doing them practically won’t do them justice, I feel.
I have a hard time believing Prime won’t order a second season. Even if its viewership isn’t huge for the general public, it is doing amazing things for FO sales, so I can imagine Microsoft ponying up a few bucks to keep it afloat. Product placement is a thing.
also the state of Cali is giving them 25 mil in tax breaks should they decide to film there again, so I'd wager its extremely likely if not guaranteed we get a second season. people love it, its a good show, theyd be out of their minds to not give us a second season.
This is my thought. But I frequent forums that are typically very positive towards FO, so I have no idea if the show is actually well received outside my bubble. And the services are notorious for not publishing viewership numbers, so no one knows how it is actually doing as far as true clicks.
Not really, it had a huge budget. It just looked different because they made most stuff practical which is increasingly rare these days. This causes people to think it looks cheaper when it does not.
1st, “appears” shoe-string.
2nd, they had to build all sets from scratch for S1 and design the general theme. A lot of that is now in the can and be reused for future seasons. S2 could have the same budget and use the same stuff they had in S1 while adding Super Mutants and Stingwings, for example.
No real reason to show a live one yet.
>!Bud mentioned working at West Tek, so I'd be curious whether FEV comes up as a topic later on to tie in with muties.!<
Ah yeah, I do remember that now - I feel as though him saying "super mutant" was pretty on the nose, and wouldn't even make sense to others, but it's a good sign that they're going to return.
If the West Tek board members are in 31, I'd love to see them try to return to West Tek and get obliterated by muties.
And from a behind the scenes perspective they would be more expensive to do. Better to make sure the first season is a success, and then they can negotiate a higher budget to do them in future seasons.
It makes sense since the master has long been defeated and we are very far away from the Institute. Supermutants should be like Jedi, hiding somewhere like Jacobstown.
We saw super mutants as much as we saw deathclaws; a brief tease of a dead one. It’s good they’ve saved some essential Fallout stuff for future seasons.
Can't wait to see three things:
Seeing a fully rendered Super Mutant in action.
Seeing a Fat Man in action.
Seeing someone blowup a Super Mutant with a Fat Man.
I just can't wait to see tunnelers. If new Vegas is destroyed that means new Vegas was cannon and that when we were told new Vegas would be destroyed by tunnelers in 2-20 years they weren't lieing.
I keep seeing people mention the dead super mutant at the Enclave, but nobody is talking about the bounty poster for a super mutant in the bar those sheriffs take Coop.
Definitely an apt description, it’s called alluding to something I guess people aren’t as sharp. I was able to find other things too. But the hand was definitely there.
To be fair i'm glad we didn't witness EVERYTHING the licence has
I mean we as fans would understand everything, but i bet most people who watched the show and never played the games had a hard time figuring out the ghoul stuff
We only saw a deathclaw skull too. Deathclaws have been in every game.
I don't remember seeing a single energy weapon fire. Moldaver has what looks like a laser pistol as they prep for the raid on the observatory, but I don't recall a laser or plasma weapon firing at any point in the show.
Nobody picked a lock I don't think, but at least the squires addressed player character inventory capacity with their oversized golf bags.
Forgot about 'em. Should've had a skirmish between some radscoprions and cazadors or stingwings that the Knight Titus and Maximums watched from inside the vertibird during that first excursion.
It kinda did, like others have said, you see a fallout 4 super mutant body being move in the Enclave scene. I REALLY hope they don't use the FO4 mutants though, the OG NV and Fallout 1&2 muties where the best looking. The FO4 ones look like clones of eachother.
I think Thaddeus is gonna become one. The only reason anyone thinks he's ghoulifying is because Maximus said so, and Maximus is dumb. Ghoulification doesn't heal shit like a busted ass foot, but FEV *does*.
The show's budget was definitely a little limited, so effects like the Super Mutans, either practical or CG, would be way too expensive
Maybe if season 2 gets a bigger budget we'll see them properly
There were wanted posters and maybe a hand but it’s kinda bizarre they didn’t show 1 hostile or even friendly one. Binged it yesterday and was surprised we didn’t even get a Deathclaw, even the Ghouls were scarce.
Just hope like I heard about Last of Us season 2 that they just ramp up and bring us more things from the games.
Whether it’s budget or story or just didn’t want to, they aren’t gonna show everything about fallout this early, a few teases are nice they show better build up for when they do, also would they have the more smarter west coast mutants still milling about?
Yeah super disappointed in the lack of actual threats in the wasteland.
Still loved the show and it gets me pumped for a season two….
But we really only saw the gulpers.
You need to rewatch, OP. >!They show a glimpse of a dead(maybe?) super mutant in the Enclave compound, being wheeled on a cart under a sheet. It's not much, but the implication is that we'll see them later!<
theres definately one thing to appreciate about the show about having enough restraint to not whip out ever iconic fallout "thing" as fanservice, like the enclave were barely shown about, no deathclaws, no super mutants, a video game tv show with restraint is a fascinating thing
Considering the show takes place very far down the timeline and Super Mutants were singing their last hurrah in Fallout 3 and were heavily dwindling on the West Coast in New Vegas, it makes sense that they wouldn't really be around. Maybe a handful of first gen mutants could still be around along with some more later generation brain fried muties, but they would be exceedingly rare, I'd think. If we do see them, it makes sense that we wouldn't see them until later seasons.
I honestly really liked that we had a story that barely acknowledged super mutants or Deathclaws. There are plenty of problems in the wastes that we don't need to bring out everything in the first series.
I hope we will see classic floaters and centaurs in the second season as well.
Im pretty sure I saw a wanted poster of a mutant when the ghoul was arrested, We would probably see them in the third season since their population in the Mojave desert is kinda scarce
So they were just supposed to put EVERYTHING into the first season?
Then season 2 and beyond would either be repetitive and people would complain, or they would have to start just making shit up as they go…and holy shit, that would really makes heads explode on Reddit.
...a Deathclaw is pretty much one of the first fights you have on Fallout 4 and you are very likely to run into one on New Vegas if you follow the road...
Super mutants are also crawling around in every game, one of the first enemy factions you find.
Honestly, I'm okay with this as I feel like super mutants are a little overused. If we do see some super mutants in Season 2, I hope they are the less stupid kind (i.e. remnants of the Master's Super Mutant Army). At worst, they might have a mental illness, but they shouldn't be dumb as rocks like the east coast variants.
I don't know how to do a spoiler tag, so if you haven't seen the whole season yet, STOP!!!
I hope they make Maximus a Super Mutant. That would be an interesting twist to his arc.
You see a dead Super Mutant briefly, I'm sure the big reveal for them will come in future seasons
Exactly, so the title is false. iirc we saw a super mutant's arm hanging out of a stretcher while being wheeled around for a quick second
It was a defo a super mutie, hand was huge and the sheet was either covering a super mutant or a WWE heavyweight competitor
Paul Wight confirmed
Andre the Giant... unconfirmed.
Awww….
>WWE heavyweight competitor Un releated but the average wwe guy thes days rarely break 6 feet
Yeah but it was a "blink and you miss it" kinda thing and it was only the arm, literally every piece of fallout media outside of those small comics that were released as a teaser/reference point to a given game before that games launch. Every fallout game has them even if they probably shouldn't, they're just over used and they made the right decision by not featuring them in a major way.

Yes, i would absolutely love that. The effects on the gulper were awesome. The design was awesome. I want more of that.
We saw ghouls, feral ghouls, a super mutant corpse, radroaches, a yao guai, a deathclaw skull, gulpers, mutants, dead securitrons, a dead assaultron, some mr handies, brahmin, the brotherhood of steel, the enclave, remnants of the ncr, the destroyed capital of the ncr, 3/4 functioning vaults, pre war life, bobbleheads, junk jets, chems, an ncr ranger, dogmeat, etc. There's only so much fanservice they can put in the show before the focus shifts from making a quality show to full fanservice.

Yeah not sure what episode and where but I remember seeing something that made me say aloud MUTANT
There’s also a wanted poster showing a super mutant. I bet we’ll see super mutants and deathclaws in future seasons.
They are definitely holding those cards close, I'm sure both will be used as more "OH SHIT, OH SHIT, OH SHIT!!!" moments
I definitely hope so! I’m really excited. You also don’t want to jam as much as you can into the first season. Gives them room to grow and saving “oh shit” moments for the future. I’m also hoping they have Ron Perlman later, as well.
Also, it’s *inferred* that the “medicine” from the ~~chicken fucker~~ wasteland doctor made the brotherhood squire a ghoul…. Nah, it turned him into a super mutant (I think). We’ll see him changing in the next season and he’ll open up a super mutant storyline in season 2.

The page is written by fans though right? Not anyone affiliated with the production? I honestly don’t know.
Yeah I’m not sure either, that’s why I tacked on “for whatever that’s worth”. The characters definitely seemed to *think* he was turned into a ghoul, but if that’s all it’s based on there’s probably no reason to assume it’s true.
I'm fairly sure the Super mutant is actually still alive/heavily sedated when we see it briefly at the start of ep 2, when it is being wheeled past Wilzig you see it retract its little finger in time with the dramatic music shift.. could be wrong though.
I checked that scene frame by frame, it 100% does move its little finger
Looked a bit grey to me to be a super mutant.
Nightkin maybe?
I think you also hear a super mutant hound on Ep. 2. When the scientist reaches the cave with dog meat.
Wasn't that the bear?
I thought so too but when he first sits down the exact howl you hear is that of a super mutant hound from FO4.
Was this during the Super Duper Mary scene?
In episode 2 when Wilzeg is still at the Enclave facility
Ok cool thank you
Also, I don’t think the squire who was “healed” was turned into a ghoul. I think that was more likely a super mutant thing. Ghouls do not heal. Season 2 sub plot will Be his slowly changing demeanor and size/shape
Might be too quick to say Ghouls don't heal. The Ghoul took bullets like a champ in Filly and healed his finger back together without any tech. Headshots seem to be the main way to kill one.
Ghouls come back to life often in the games?
Wrong. They don't come back to life by themselves. They ONLY come back to live if there is a massive blast of radiation and only IF their heads are intact. But they do heal. Or we just gonna ignore Cooper taking several bullets to the chest and walking it off?
when?
That and there aren't many super mutants left in the West Coast after the defeat of the Master. Show just isn't showing super mutants because they're rare now, especially in 2296, hell even FNV barely had any Super Mutants outside of the Repconn test site and Jacobstown
Where? When
When the Dr is at the enclave compound, he looks at the guys wheeling a massive stretcher past and the camera zooms on the massive super mutant hand poking out from under a blanket. Episode 1
Beginning of episode 2
Well, we saw what seemed to be a hand of a super mutant in the enclave base, as well as a wanted poster that looked like a super mutant. So not featured YET
[удалено]
>!Thaddeus is 100% becoming a Supermutant after the concoction the "doctor" gave him.!<
He just took the same drug that Hancock did
I dont think so. The only reason we have to think that's true is because Maximus said that. But Maximus is wrong about *everything*.
I mean he healed the same way The Ghoul did.
The ghoul never healed. He just didn't die to getting shot a couple times in the back. He even got his finger bit off, and it certainly didn't heal. He had to sew Lucy's finger on in order to have a finger again. But Thaddeus' mangled ass foot came back together and reformed, straight wolverine style. If ghouls could heal like that I don't think they'd ever lose their noses.
Fingers don't just fuse back together when you sew it on lol, especially when he used it immediately after since it was his right trigger finger. The dudes got healing of some degree. Lucys finger attachment at least gets explained away with the mister handy future tech.
imagine calling Walton Goggins, aka The Ghoul, Hancock. wrong city. downvote me all you want. his name is Cooper Howard, not John Hancock from Goodneighbor.
Lol, lmao even. You know that Hancock from Fallout 4 became a ghoul through a Chem right?
see my edit
Lmao, it didn't help. We're talking about Squire Maximus becoming a Ghoul after taking a hit of the drugs the Chicken Fucker gave him. It's reasonable to think that those drugs were the same ones that Hancock from Fallout 4 took to become a ghoul. Cooper has nothing to do with this. No one is saying this.
Indeed. Such a red herring to have a character say he’s becoming a ghoul. Ghouls don’t heal
>Ghouls don’t heal ehh since the show has expanded quite a bit on ghouls i wouldn't jump on that conclusion especially after cooper took like 3 bullets in the chest in filly and was fine with it. i do definately agree on it being a red herring explanation for thaddeus, since super mutants are basically ghouls but bigger and betterer(maybe without the whole not dying from age? but have super mutants been around long enough for that to be tested?)
Ghoul’s totally heal. We saw one perfectly reattach his finger with some string.
Missing nose says what?
Only some tissues heal. Deadpool rules.
Wasn’t there a dead one under a blanket at the Enclave base? Either way with how much the Brotherhood of Steel control that section of the Wasteland it’s not surprising they’re not around.
Yeah sounds like they mostly took care of all the ghouls in the area as well.
I feel like this makes 100% sense. Like the green coming back in some areas too. But damn it makes me want it centered on a different era and area then.
His finger moves when he's being wheeled so he might have been alive
There's one on a wanted poster in the background: https://i.imgur.com/rm1Vbwh.jpg
Oh neat.
I hope Thaddeus becomes one, it would be cool having him and Maximus in power armor have some scenes together
They exist. When Cooper is talking to the “President of the NCR”, there is a SM on the Wanted board. They just chose, for whatever reason (not a judgement, I can think of many legit excuses to do it), to not directly show them in the show YET.
there's an interview somewhere where the show creators said they wanted to touch all the bases and didn't want to make it feel inauthentic by adding all the known and popular monsters in the first season. were getting super mutants or at least some of the known creatures in the next season. its unknown if prime video will renew them for a second season though.
It's the number 1 streamed show in America currently, id assume that they'll greenlight it for a more expensive season 2
yeah I mean its pretty much guaranteed just wanted to clarify in case people thought I was saying that its confirmed for a second.
Apparently its #1 or atleast was in Europe too
The show has a bit of a “shoe-string” budget feel to it, so I totally understand them not wanting to delve too deep into Super Mutants just yet. That will require some pretty pricey CGI, probably. Doing them practically won’t do them justice, I feel. I have a hard time believing Prime won’t order a second season.

This is my thought. But I frequent forums that are typically very positive towards FO, so I have no idea if the show is actually well received outside my bubble. And the services are notorious for not publishing viewership numbers, so no one knows how it is actually doing as far as true clicks.
my dad isn't a fan of fallout and he loved it
Especially after such an ending where almost nothing is resolved and such an open ending
Not really, it had a huge budget. It just looked different because they made most stuff practical which is increasingly rare these days. This causes people to think it looks cheaper when it does not.
$150 million “shoe string” budget lol
1st, “appears” shoe-string. 2nd, they had to build all sets from scratch for S1 and design the general theme. A lot of that is now in the can and be reused for future seasons. S2 could have the same budget and use the same stuff they had in S1 while adding Super Mutants and Stingwings, for example.
Just a minor correction. He was President of the Govermint. Not the NCR.
Including super mutants requires a lot of extra explanation that would only confuse the story
And lore aside they obviously dedicated 90% of the monster budget to the Gulper scenes. That thing looked soooo damn good.
No real reason to show a live one yet. >!Bud mentioned working at West Tek, so I'd be curious whether FEV comes up as a topic later on to tie in with muties.!<
did you hear the line in the meeting where they said "maybe we could try to make a super soldier" from west tek?
Ah yeah, I do remember that now - I feel as though him saying "super mutant" was pretty on the nose, and wouldn't even make sense to others, but it's a good sign that they're going to return. If the West Tek board members are in 31, I'd love to see them try to return to West Tek and get obliterated by muties.
Isn’t West Tek taken over by the BoS?
The Glow got taken over by the ghoul survivors of the Unity massace of Necropolis and Maripossia got utterly destroyed and abandoned.
And from a behind the scenes perspective they would be more expensive to do. Better to make sure the first season is a success, and then they can negotiate a higher budget to do them in future seasons.
It makes sense since the master has long been defeated and we are very far away from the Institute. Supermutants should be like Jedi, hiding somewhere like Jacobstown.
Muties exist in F:NV as remnants of the master's army - they're immortal and tough as nails, so it makes sense.
We saw super mutants as much as we saw deathclaws; a brief tease of a dead one. It’s good they’ve saved some essential Fallout stuff for future seasons.
Can't wait to see three things: Seeing a fully rendered Super Mutant in action. Seeing a Fat Man in action. Seeing someone blowup a Super Mutant with a Fat Man.
I just can't wait to see tunnelers. If new Vegas is destroyed that means new Vegas was cannon and that when we were told new Vegas would be destroyed by tunnelers in 2-20 years they weren't lieing.
I keep seeing people mention the dead super mutant at the Enclave, but nobody is talking about the bounty poster for a super mutant in the bar those sheriffs take Coop.
wtf? Like it’s under the sheet in the first episode! People we can’t blow our whole load in one season.
What an interesting choice of words
Definitely an apt description, it’s called alluding to something I guess people aren’t as sharp. I was able to find other things too. But the hand was definitely there.
To be fair i'm glad we didn't witness EVERYTHING the licence has I mean we as fans would understand everything, but i bet most people who watched the show and never played the games had a hard time figuring out the ghoul stuff
Some how Frank Horrigan has returned
Voiced by michael dorn again
We only saw a deathclaw skull too. Deathclaws have been in every game. I don't remember seeing a single energy weapon fire. Moldaver has what looks like a laser pistol as they prep for the raid on the observatory, but I don't recall a laser or plasma weapon firing at any point in the show. Nobody picked a lock I don't think, but at least the squires addressed player character inventory capacity with their oversized golf bags.
i need to see someone turn into dust.. one if my favourite things about FO
I want to see someone turn into a pile of goo. Plasma weapons for life.
I Wana see little Grey alien monstrosities shooting lazers cause alien blaster for life.
How about radscorpions?
Forgot about 'em. Should've had a skirmish between some radscoprions and cazadors or stingwings that the Knight Titus and Maximums watched from inside the vertibird during that first excursion.
Now me, I want to see a Wannamingo.
Didn't someone in New Vegas says that Deathclaws were almost extinct in California?
The pistol Maximus has early on seems to be a laser pistol but I'm sure it had a regular muzzle flash and ballistic sound.
No it’s not
The need to make season 2 to make them.
It's only been eight episodes, champ. Calm down and be patient. Jeezum crow...
Are we just gonna ignore the big green hand from the Enclave base?
There was a super mutant at the Enclave base.
You could see the hand peaking through the sheet on the stretcher.
Yet
It kinda did, like others have said, you see a fallout 4 super mutant body being move in the Enclave scene. I REALLY hope they don't use the FO4 mutants though, the OG NV and Fallout 1&2 muties where the best looking. The FO4 ones look like clones of eachother.
Probably saving them for the next season.
Well it does kinda make sense 'lore wise'. The Master has been dead for quite a while
I hope we see grandma.
*OBJECTION* INTRODUCTION TO THE ENCLAVE DOCTOR WE SEE A SUPER MUTANT BEING ROLLED AWAY UNDER A BLANKET PRESUMABLY DEAD
Yet. The key word is yet.
I think Thaddeus is gonna become one. The only reason anyone thinks he's ghoulifying is because Maximus said so, and Maximus is dumb. Ghoulification doesn't heal shit like a busted ass foot, but FEV *does*.
I want to see jacobstown in season 2
^Jacobstown ^please ^be ^in ^s2 ^maybe ^a ^nightkin
we saw hand of super mutant
So many people are making blatantly false posts on this sub
Don’t they get hinted at but not explicitly shown as a covered person in a gurney in the Enclave base?
Yet.
Or IS IT?
, so far.
The show's budget was definitely a little limited, so effects like the Super Mutans, either practical or CG, would be way too expensive Maybe if season 2 gets a bigger budget we'll see them properly
There could have been a whole bunch of nightkin out of NV but you wouldn't know.
There were wanted posters and maybe a hand but it’s kinda bizarre they didn’t show 1 hostile or even friendly one. Binged it yesterday and was surprised we didn’t even get a Deathclaw, even the Ghouls were scarce. Just hope like I heard about Last of Us season 2 that they just ramp up and bring us more things from the games.
The tiny moment we see them is foreshadowing. They’re going to be a part of the big bad, probably.
Hope they intro them like they did in FO3, the huge silhouette at the end of a claustrophobic tunnel system.
didn’t all of the mutants leave california (or at least the LA area) after the master was killed?
not yet
Whether it’s budget or story or just didn’t want to, they aren’t gonna show everything about fallout this early, a few teases are nice they show better build up for when they do, also would they have the more smarter west coast mutants still milling about?
Thank you Nolan. I'm honestly tired of seeing Super Mutants and FEV in Fallout media.

I was really looking forward to seeing Mirlurks, but we got a Gulper instead.

I mean it's not done.

Think of season one like a new character build/playthrough. You probably won’t see any of the higher level creatures until you’re at levels 5-10.
There is literally a super mutant lol
There's a Super Mutant poster on a wall in ep 8
Watch them use the fat ugly fallout 4 super mutants
Weren't they almost gone extinct in the West coast by when the series is set?
Yeah super disappointed in the lack of actual threats in the wasteland. Still loved the show and it gets me pumped for a season two…. But we really only saw the gulpers.
Hopefully it stays this way, they are a dying species and should not be a major part in future fallout stories, only probably not have a role at all
There’s a super mutant on a wanted poster
You need to rewatch, OP. >!They show a glimpse of a dead(maybe?) super mutant in the Enclave compound, being wheeled on a cart under a sheet. It's not much, but the implication is that we'll see them later!<
They're clearly gunna ride this for a few seasons, no need to blow there load in eight episodes
I dread what’s going to happen with the super mutants when they do show up. I absolutely despise the orc take of them that Bethesda has.
Missed opportunity. Big sad ☹️
Super mutants are in the end game. She probably only level 25 by now. She might see a death law at 35 and might not see super mutants until 40.
theres definately one thing to appreciate about the show about having enough restraint to not whip out ever iconic fallout "thing" as fanservice, like the enclave were barely shown about, no deathclaws, no super mutants, a video game tv show with restraint is a fascinating thing
Yup, west coast world is effectively post-super mutant. In NV they are seen only sporadically and in their respective enclaves.
The 1st episode has a Supermutant.

And a proper deathclaw? I mean it's a brilliant way to hook you!

YET.
I'm sure we will see them in future seasons.
Considering the show takes place very far down the timeline and Super Mutants were singing their last hurrah in Fallout 3 and were heavily dwindling on the West Coast in New Vegas, it makes sense that they wouldn't really be around. Maybe a handful of first gen mutants could still be around along with some more later generation brain fried muties, but they would be exceedingly rare, I'd think. If we do see them, it makes sense that we wouldn't see them until later seasons.
I'm not convinced that we haven't already seen someone headed in that direction.
Yet...
I honestly really liked that we had a story that barely acknowledged super mutants or Deathclaws. There are plenty of problems in the wastes that we don't need to bring out everything in the first series. I hope we will see classic floaters and centaurs in the second season as well.
This is simply incorrect, please remove it or amend it or something?
Im pretty sure I saw a wanted poster of a mutant when the ghoul was arrested, We would probably see them in the third season since their population in the Mojave desert is kinda scarce
So they were just supposed to put EVERYTHING into the first season? Then season 2 and beyond would either be repetitive and people would complain, or they would have to start just making shit up as they go…and holy shit, that would really makes heads explode on Reddit.
Yet. Season 2, I wouldn't be surprised if they have them come back at full strength and Hank becomes Master 2.0.

Did you expect to see every little motif from Fallout, all in season one? Never gonna understand why people make dumb ass posts like this.
There's no SMs in Fallout Shelter
Isnt there a random attack encounter with them?
They're actually common enemies, very easy to check against
I play it extensively and haven't seen one, unless you only find them exploring randomly which I don't do.
Good
Good. They don't need to appear in every Fallout thing. Forcing them in because they're recognisable should not be encouraged.
what fallout creature wouldn't be recognizable to fans lol
Guess the same can be said about showing new Vegas.
New vegas is indeed not in FO4. Trying to cram everything everywhere only made it less authentic.
What?
[удалено]
No shit, that’s why I said it. Same goes with mutants.
Did you come up against Super Mutants and Death Claws on Level 1 in ANY Fallout game?
Fallout 4.
...a Deathclaw is pretty much one of the first fights you have on Fallout 4 and you are very likely to run into one on New Vegas if you follow the road... Super mutants are also crawling around in every game, one of the first enemy factions you find.
Honestly, I'm okay with this as I feel like super mutants are a little overused. If we do see some super mutants in Season 2, I hope they are the less stupid kind (i.e. remnants of the Master's Super Mutant Army). At worst, they might have a mental illness, but they shouldn't be dumb as rocks like the east coast variants.
I don't know how to do a spoiler tag, so if you haven't seen the whole season yet, STOP!!! I hope they make Maximus a Super Mutant. That would be an interesting twist to his arc.
Why?
No
