I've been here since 05 or something, registered only an year later , I know how does NMA works and I agree with you, its sad how we are considered Rabid or something along those lines.
Although some people around here over react, the vast majority show their thoughts based on facts and are willing to debate opinions.As a matter of fact, we are more reasonable than those who call us evil. Each on his own I guess
I was looking at the concept art and saw a bipedal mutant crab thing,by chance, does anyone knows what's that ?
edit.: Used the word "opinion" too many times.Just Fixed

Gears of War does post-apocalyptic visuals better than anything I've seen of Fallout 3 so far.

This thing?
No idea. Could be some variation of the centaurs.
It's the radial blur that's applied when you get hit in combat, along with the bloodstains.

Just so I get more immersed I always watch the world through a camera.

Unknown, but probably a centaur.
He doesn't mean the creature from the above screenshot, which probably indeed is a centaur. He means this one:

Crabman is a temporary term I use in the wiki, since we don't know the official name yet (Well, I do, but can't tell you).
And the centaur is not bipedal.

Ah, right. By the way, what *are* centaurs (and, perhaps, floaters) doing in the game, since both strains were engineered specifically by the Master?
The most plausible story for a mass of super mutant presence is the availability of FEV on the east coast, which isn't unlikely by any stretch of the imagination. Mass migration of Master's pets in 20 years after Fallout 2 is, tho'.
Wait, that shit is actually in the game?
That was one of the most-mocked creatures in all their concept art.
Ah well...
Crabmen? Horrible creatures. I avoid them whenever I can.

That, or I'm just messing with you, saying that I know what they're called in the game because they're not called anything at all.
Actually, they weren't really engineered by the master - they're byproducts of failed FEV mutations, made through throwing random stuff into the vats. Since the mutants likely have a new source of FEV at their disposal, the centaurs aren't that surprising.
Ausir said:
I hope so.
Ausir said:
Sure they are. But who - exactly - would think up throwing random combinations of species into vats of FEV?
What the hell floaters are is unknown, but centaurs were made by the Master, not by "accident".
The floaters are most likely the flatworms infected with FEV mentioned in one of the holodisks.
And if the mutants are the remnants of Master's army and not some completely new ones, they could've taken some centaurs with them on their way east, or known how to make centaurs from way back in Mariposa.
Ausir said:
Aha, PURE SENSELESS SPECULATION.
Ausir said:
Well these Cthulhu-esque things don't look a bit like the original centaurs, so if they are centaurs they're probably not related.
And doesn't the fact that the mutants infested and took hold of large portions of DC kind of preclude them being "remnants"? If they were just remnants, the Enclave could've just wiped 'em up.
Methinks the "new source of super mutants"-plotline would make oh so much more sense.
