So I’m trying a Cephalopod Unwilling Mutant Lab Challenge Start … in which I take slimy/etc. and all of the tentacle mutations that I can, and then try to find mutant serum before/in between dying to mutate myself further. (I seem to go through like 8 starts an hour with those turrets in the rooms…) Anyways, the justification is, it makes more ‘rp sense’ if you’ve already been mutated by the government to ‘double down’ and hope for the best, in a bad situation, then it does to break in and become a bird or something. And there are a LOT of Cephalopod mutations available now, kinda. So, it lets me get in the spirit of mutating, I guess.
Anyways, my question is this.
Am I the only one to find it wierd that my character, who, several mutant serums later, has a beak, is slimy, and has mouth tentacles … can somehow still talk? Its just kinda wierd. I mean, I get why, gameplay wise. But you know, after a certain point, I think the physiology has just changed. I mean, have you looked at an octopus or giant squid mouth? I just can’t see that talking. I’m also kinda thinking through the ramifications. I’m kinda surprised heavy mutations don’t drive any of my npcs suicidal. I mean, I could rp it, I guess, but depression and the like is already in the game. I’m not really sure what I’m asking, I guess. But my character kinda feels like something out of the movie ‘The Fly’ to me, but with an octopus.
