- Super Mutants? Now we got a new race, and 99% of the ones seen in-game are retarded cannibal super-orcs at war with humanity because... fucketh if I know. There's sort of a sub-plot about them, their threat to Capital Wasteland, fighting BOS, etc. But its abandoned and ultimately forgotten. Remember - so far as we know, its a huge army of dumb-dumbs, not a smart mastermind mutant or human manipulator in sight, no Master or Lieutenant figure, just hulking retards that a few platoons of modern-day soldiers with FN-FALs or AKs and explosives would take care of in a while, the smart guys are outcasts, dead or hidden away like Fawkes. Yet, somehow these retards manage to keep an army running, with working guns and decent stocks of ammo - while back West the dumb-dumbs are pretty much cannon-fodder that the Master kept around to increase his numbers and serve under the smart NCOs and commanders, their physical might and big guns are the only reason they're a threat.
