  • The Forced Evolutionary Virus, also known as FEV, is a virus artificially created by West Tek's Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Division. The virus’s ability to change an individual’s observable traits and genes has made it one of the most important mutagens known to man. Harnessed both before and after the Great War, for reasons both noble and sinister. But what is FEV, to quote Father Elijah it a long story, FEV…a virus with an even longer story, so let’s take a look at how the virus came to be, what it was used for, and who by and hopefully by the end of the video we’ll have a much better understanding.

    I bet the FEV didn't really make the chimps any more aggressive, it was just a normal reaction to being trapped in a cell with a massive headache and some newly upgraded stranglin' arms.

    The one thing that I couldn’t understand is: Why did the Institute kill the remainder of those in Vault 111? Their pods were turned off if the computer terminals can be believed.
    The Institute after 200 years may have a dangerously narrow gene pool.
    Here you have a gene pool closer to your own with those educated at a level way above those in the Commonwealth without possible genetic mutations. Also, they could have been dispersed into the Institute’s population by family units to ease assimilation. Those that had certain genetic disease could have been left behind until it could be addressed by their medical practices. That is, unless they could be of benefit to the Institute due to certain knowledges or abilities.

      @@leviathanforge Shaun is to donate DNA for the 3rd Generation Synth project, but the whole population of the Institute is also of concern if the Director would take his blinders off. There couldn’t be more than 200 faculty and students that began the Institute. After 10 generations the genetics of the Institute’s population would make all residents 2nd or 3rd cousins. Every one is related to everyone else. Birth defects and other genetic abnormalities would begin to rise greater in this isolated population. Probably more if the initial population came from primarily the physical sciences with less from the medical and biological sciences. The “residents” of Vault 111 would add to the genetic diversity of the general population without a notice from the rest of the Commonwealth as they are unknown. This helps with the security and secrecy of the Institute as well.

      It seems that super mutants don't want to be turned human, similar to how you wouldn't want to be turned into a super mutant.
      The institute scientist only wanted to revert because he retained his intelligence and personality. If you have a super mutant companion, they are upset if you make him human.

    What's cool is the FEV is influenced by its environment. Richard began too mutate and incorporate the technology he had around him. Creating the Master
    But Harold found himself outside. Where he became stuck to the ground and transformed into a massive Mutant tree, able too survive and pollinate the radioactive wasteland.
    It's such a cool and weird concept that the Fallout show needs too bring up
