Fallout Failed FEV Experiment In Vault 87
Bethesda

If you hate Super Mutants then you’re really not going to be a fan of Vault 87, a testing facility for the Forced Evolutionary Virus that creates the big green dudes determined to mess up your day. Inhabitants were forced into vacuum-sealed chambers and injected with the virus. Those that didn’t die instantly were turned into a number of things that go bump in the night but notably Super Mutants and Centaurs. A nuclear event broke many of the mutants out of confinement and, being unable to breed, they took to forcibly exposing the human scientists to the virus and kidnapping humans to convert into mutants which I’m sure is not a fun process.
