hyperactivechild Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Anyone know how the Super Mutant Primus got it's name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raycheetah Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Sadly, there is no in-game lore that I could find regarding that classification of Super Mutant. Still, there's some interesting information on Commonwealth Super Mutants to be found here: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Institute_super_mutant =^[.]^= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midtek Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Developers usually don't overthink on random naming fluffs. The high chance is just googled. Some bring the idea of easter eggs but Primus doesn't seem to be the case. But who knows. It might be named after the developer's dog. I saw a dog named Sextus once so you never know.

TeamBacon Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 As far as 'Prime' super mutants go, Fallout 1 uses that term a lot. But I have never heard 'Primus'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midtek Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Yeah, Fallout 1 reference doesn't fit in. Likely just a mundane name for high level mutants. I was also confused at the first time when I was editing the level list. I thought Primus must be the strongest given by the name. Probably someone just named it and didn't care enough to arrange by the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're Scottish Bishops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
