In the wiki I saw literally no mention of the Enclave at any point. Successful mutations would be monitored to ensure survivability, then tagged and discarded. Both women and men were abducted from the Commonwealth and submerged in the Institute's modified FEV, their mutations carefully tracked and extensively investigated.

Under the auspices of Doctor Frederick, FEV samples served as the starting point for the new, organic synthetic program despite the objections of some members of BioScience. "To overcome the limitations of metal synthetic materials, the Institute endeavored to create synthetic flesh, with the first research initiative beginning in in 2178. Could someone from the Enclave in Fallout 3 have had access to V87 and deserted once Mobile Base Crawler got blown up? Sure. All that remained of Enclave were those on outposts they had established fairly recently (IIRC) in Fallout 2. Most of the scientists, especially those who worked on anything revolving the FEV, the only ones with access to it and the formula to make it were nuked. Some defector from the Enclave wouldn't have the old FEV. It's not just the judgements of other people that drive them to dispair. That's why transgender people kill themselves, and why medical people say that transition is a medical necessity.Īnd if the trans thing puts you off, try listing to the stories of people ho've suffered horrible facial deformiities from war or power lines or hungry dogs. If your body doesn't match your internal mapping, pain and sorrow are the results. Physical deformity is something you're not considering.

Rage problem, fingers too big for many applications and physical deformity. To keep the Commonwealth weak so no one can challenge their power.Īnd there are disadvantages to being a supermutant. They already are transhumanists so they try and get the kinks worked out Mengele style but they release them topside to keep the Commonwealth weak.Īnd remember that's all they want post CPG.

Not that they HAD it, just that at some point they had a defector from the Enclave barter their life in exchange for the blueprints of old FEV and possibly Curing FEV. Click to expand.I hate to defend Bethesda here but the Insitute having FEV makes sense.
