受到FEV影響的生物是否具有生育能力？

玩過輻射1的朋友都該有印象，在兄弟會書記官Vree給你的變种人解剖報告中，明確的記載了超級變种人是沒有生育能力的，該部分原文如下：

[blockquote]Research into this virus has lead to many interesting discoveries. The test subject has gained many of its mutations from the overdose of the virus. This would account for the enhanced muscle and bone structure. Additionally, the recessive genes which are commonly found in humans have been manipulated in such a way as to bring about the best possible combination. While the process by which this happens is uncertain, it does have some severe side effects. Chief among them is sterility. The test subject would have been unable to reproduce with any creature, whether clean or mutated.[/blockquote]

但是，輻射2中的變种人隊友Marcus在逛完妓院后卻會説“我希望她不要懷孕了”，暗示著超級變种人是有生育能力的，這到底怎麽回事呢？先看一下和Marcus對話的原文：

[blockquote]- 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?
[/blockquote]

其中"sterile"意為“不育的”，那麽按Marcus自己的説法，超級變种人是有生育能力的。不過，在輻射聖經1中，Avellone說：

[blockquote]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).

FEV在某些生物身上會造成不育症。FEV的確使超級變种人和僵屍不育了——馬可世在New Reno的解釋只是一個玩笑（這個玩笑不是很恰當，對此我表示歉意）。
[/blockquote]

所以超級變种人確確實實是不育的，那麽其它受FEV影響的生物是否也如此呢？這就不一定了，Avellone在聖經裏緊接著就說：

[blockquote]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).

但是對於其他生物來説，FEV就不一定會造成不育症了——事實上，它甚至有可能縮短這些生物的的生殖周期（伴隨著潛在的副作用）。
[/blockquote]

然後還舉了幾個例子：

[blockquote]Known species that can reproduce after being mutated with the FEV include most species of Giant rats, the mantises (who are known to have bred so fast they cover the Salt Lake City area like blankets), the radscorpions, and the deathclaws.

受FEV影響變異后仍具有生殖能力的物種包括大部分種類的的變異老鼠，變異螳螂（由於繁殖速度過快，整個鹽湖城地區都被它們覆蓋了），輻射蠍，以及死亡爪。
[/blockquote]

綜合以上看來，受到FEV影響這一事件本身不能作爲判斷某生物擁有生育能力與否的根據。

Marcus也是不能生育的，仔細看我貼的資料

我的敍述可能有些歧義，改了
