在輻射2中,和Marcus對話的原文是:
- Uh... when you said 'I hope she doesn't get pregnant' in the Cat's Paw in New Reno, what did you mean?
- Didn't your parents explain this to you?
- No, I mean, I thought all you mutants were sterile.
- What? Where the hell did you hear that?
- So... you AREN'T sterile?
- Nope. Well, not now. It takes a few year after bein' dipped to get the juices flowing again. Why?
其中"sterile"意為“不育的”,那麽按Marcus自己的説法,他確實是有生育能力的。不過,在輻射聖經1中,Avellone說:
FEV causes sterility in some creatures. FEV does cause sterility in super mutants and ghouls - Marcus' comment in New Reno was a joke only (and it was an inappropriate one, for which I apologize for).
所以超級變种人確實是不育的,但是文中説“遭到FEV影响的生物全部是绝育的”仍然有問題,因爲Avellone緊接著就說:
For other creatures, however, the FEV does not cause sterility - in fact, it may actually speed up their reproductive cycles (in tandem with potential drawbacks).
綜合以上看來,FEV本身不能作爲判斷某生物擁有生育能力與否的根據。 |
