[quote=“Kevin Granade, post:30, topic:10651”]I think I see what valpo is saying, basically a new or replacement mutagen that once you take it, you keep mutating until something stops it.
I think what Coolthulu is getting at is that now, each time you take a dose of mutagen, there is a chance of getting multiple mutations, if the mutations were trickling in over time and you could take purifier to halt further mutations immediately, that would be more precise. I agree, if we did the ‘mutations over time’ thing, purifier (or mutation stopper, whatever) would halt the ongoing mutation effect, but any mutations that had started already would keep going, that would keep things similar to how they are now, where you have only loose control over how much mutation happens per dose of mutagen.
as for a ‘super serum’ that takes you all the way to a threshold, I could see doing that, with two caveats. One, it would be very dangerous, you had better have a safe house and enough supplies to ride out the process, and it might even go bad, requiring you to take purifier to halt the process so it doesn’t kill you. Two, the same as existing serums, it wouldn’t be guaranteed to only give you targeted mutations, you’d pick up plenty of other mutations along the way.[/quote]
I agree that there should be dangers. Targeted mutagen as it is now does produce random mutations at times but it doesn t amount to much usualy.
If you take targeted mutagen only then you ll most likely get exactly what you want… with all pros and cons.
Maybe we could put more negative/neutral mutations further down each mutation path so that if you can t find purifier in time you ll also get those sooner or later.
Or add in extra fun into the stonger mutagens. Like dunno random pain, limb damage or halucinations.
