Fallout 3 has a super mutant factory, it's where you find Fawkes.

I don't know, I don't think the first order (the guys who came after the empire) had the technical wherewithal to build sustainably at that scale. Even just the one planet sized death star was really pushing it.

My favorite part of the movie that is Fallout 3's story is when it really does pull the lovely movie cliche of having all your very capable friends refuse the test meant for you. Even the guy who's immune to being irradiated, who did it before to get a plot critical item for you. No, wanderer. It is your destiny to inhale the fart gas.

Oh, it's not just the super mutant. You potentially have a robot companion, a ghoul under contract (who I do believe are immune to radiation) and a messed up slave who is still conditioned to do whatever her new master tells her to do. All of them clearly recognize that you are the main character who needs to do a meaningful sacrifice, regardless of what your actions have been prior to that final moment. And then a DLC gave you more options because it offered a post-game campaign. But it's not just more practical to send the super mutant/robot/ghoul to do the job, you let them do it because are obviously a coward. "It was not until the end of this long road that the Lone Wanderer was faced with that greatest of virtues – sacrifice. But the child refused to follow the father's selfless example - instead, allowing a true hero to venture into the irradiated control chamber of Project Purity and sacrifice her own life for the greater good of mankind.

For those here that primarily watch movies and don't play video games, don't worry! They're ALSO an excuse for the writer to work on his daddy issues. Try the last of us or the new god of war today, they're really cinematic!

I mean, Super Mutants are also super tough and either don't age much or become stronger as they do, it's not hard to imagine a lot of them travelling across the wasteland especially after the army broke up like a hundred years ago. Also the whole deal with the setting is that there's fuckloads of mad science all over the place from the insane monstrosity the US military-industrial complex had become. There's a probably deliberate irony that between all the tech from Vault-Tech, RobCo, Big MT and such, they could basically be a Jetsons post-scarcity setting, but the pre-war government was so hard locked into bloodthirsty imperialist capitalism they saw no other option than to keep escalating until the nukes started flying.

The way the water cycle works, every single molecule of water you've ever drank in your life has been pissed out by multiple dinosaurs. And with how many priests have been blessing water for so many centuries, all the water in the lakes, rivers and ocean in the world is holy water, which is why we don't have draculas anymore

So not every single molecule. But yeah, the ones that ARE that old have all had 65-240 million years to diffuse around so homogenously into the water cycle. Absolute perfect spread of dinosaur piss. It doesn’t even take tens of millions of years for water to spread. You’ve probably drank the piss of every historical figure from a matter of centuries ago. So enjoy that, if that’s what you’re into

Tbf, that specific phrasing is when you refuse to do it and instead make the Brotherhood of Steel lady who's with you do it instead. The comedy option is where you refuse to do it and also refuse to give her the code, so she calls you an rear end in a top hat as the Jefferson Memorial explodes with you both in it.

The "and sacrifice her own life for the greater good of mankind." is specific to that human companion, yes. The sentence ends after "Project Purity" for the robot, ghoul and super mutant. The rest is the same.
