Dog meat is actually a really common name for dogs in the fallout universe because dog meat is sold as food. That'd be like naming your pet chicken Nuggets or General Tso.
4:36 Realizing how old I am watching a lot of these reactions when i'm one of the only people that yelled Ponch!, when Eric Estrada took his helmet off.
It was also implied he was a former NCR Ranger by the armor and the ghoul saying he still had some of his lead in him. From former CHiP officer to former NCR Ranger.
It was Betty who either directly or had the prisoners poisoned. She is both vault 31 and cautioned Norm that words matter and to tread lightly. She was basically warning him not to say certain things out loud. The blond girl also from 31 also told Norm, your father would have done the right thing. Betty now full overseer and knowing prisoners are a drain on resources would be the one to get rid of them, the black girl was the fall person, is no way she did it. "We haven't seen a supermutant". We did actually, least the hand of one in episode 2 on a gurney in the Enclave facility.
Thee is a big debate as to what was done to Squire Thaddeus, some people believe he is turning into a Ghoul, others think he is turning into something else. I believe the latter because everything I've read in game about Ghouls indicates only a small percentage of people can turn into them, it requires a rare genetic trait which allows a person to mutate when exposed to allot of radiation instead of dying, also although they can heal when exposed to radiation ghouls cannot regenerate crippled limbs. What I think is he was given was a modified FEV drug and he is slowly turning into a Supermutant. That radio station reminds me of the station in Fallout 3 run by an old lady, she has a side quest where you go find and old violin for her and afterwards she plays tunes on it over the radio.
Keep in mind that as far as Vault 4 knows, all original vault dwellers run the experiments in their vaults, so their reaction to Lucy (not mention calling the scientists of Vault 4 "your people") has to be seen in that context.
The fact that the radio station is playing the music from the Minutemen radio station cracks me up every time. Because, yeah, I got really sick of the same few tunes playing over and over...
Axolotls, which the gulpers are based on, have remarkable regenerative abilities. There are worse animals to try to hybridize if you're doing mad science
If the the shit "The doctor" has his drink/inhale was FEV then he is turning Super Mutant. But it could be something else too. We will have to wait and see.
Maybe. Ghouls can be created by an aerosol (Hancock in FO4), have limited regeneration (although Thaddeus seems to have better regeneration than any ghoul we have seen), and are immune to radiation (as the weird doctor implies). But the weird doctor mentioned green serums (of which FEV is one) plus FEV can provide radiation resistance and regeneration too. If it was some strain of FEV, it is one we have never seen before: Super Mutants are usually created by immersion in FEV and limited exposure to FEV aerosol usually just kills the subject. So who knows. I would kind of prefer that it be something we have not seen before. We already have a Ghoul and an original Master or Enclave era Super Mutant would be more fun to interact with. I think the weird doctor (aka chicken diddler) already took the same mystery serum and is immortal too. He was trying to shoot himself in the head when he saw Thaddeus. I think he has tried to kill himself many times before with little success. That doctor smells bad but is neither a ghoul nor a Super Mutant.
