Argh that was so frustrating-- His story seemed so tailored to help you specifically with that problem, and I felt so clever for trudging across the map to get him for that situation… It felt like a prank when he’s just like “oh great idea but no because reasons.”
the fact that we still remember these characters is such a testament to the writing of NV, it’s straight up the fellowship of the ring to the post-postapocalypse genre
I believe her companion story involved choosing whether or not to treat her worsening nightkin psychosis with the consequence that treatment would make her forget her grandkids
Technically, there are no sex organs in supermutants. They can identify as male or female but genetically they are neither and none of them are capable of producing offspring. Instead, they capture humans and expose them to the FEV to turn them into Supermutants.

Wasn’t Fawkes a woman? ETA: no, just looked it up. The character was supposed to be male. Wonder why I was thinking that…
According to some deleted holotapes he was security in Vault 87 before he was turned. He was a guy.

It’s NV. You’re thinking of Lily the nightkin companion

She is a grandma! Not just dressed up

New Vegas had a bit of a modding Renaissance, it’s in the absolute golden age of modding. Incredible stuff being done with it.
There’s one or two female super mutants in New Vegas, so you might be thinking of them.

Super Mutants lose whatever gender organs or genetics when the FEV turns them into what they are. They can still identify, though.
I also thought Fawkes was a woman for some reason
