So, I've been debating making a mod for Lily to give her alternate armors and I decided to read the wiki information on Super-Mutants out of curiosity and to see the different mutant armors. I came across Vree's dissection of a super-mutant, which says that their life-span is increased 10% from a normal human.
If we assume an age of 80 years, give or take, then a Super-Mutant should live to 90 or so. If Fallout 1 was set to start in 2161, and it's 2281 in New Vegas, that makes Marcus > 120 years. Are super-mutants immune to aging, after all? It makes sence, if their cells destroy genetic aberrations, but I don't understand why the initial holotape says 10% increase in lifespan.
Thoughts?
