According to Obsidian, Fallout New Vegas was originally meant to have super mutants as a playable race, but Bethesda allegedly advised not to attempt it.¹
This mod aims to rectify that decision by implementing a fully fledged playable super mutant race. However, this is not just another race mod — Mariposa features redesigned quests, NPC reactions, spliced voice lines, perks and more.
The project began two years after Metamorphosis was released.
Differently from Metamorphosis, Mariposa lets you choose your race in the beginning of the game. You can choose to be a regular super mutant or a Nightkin courier. The race you choose will determine your appearance, gameplay and NPC reactions.
You wont be able to use human equipment, but there's a large selection of 50+ armors and 20+ accessories to choose from. Click here to see armor roster.
One of the many benefits of living in Utobitha is the ready availability of pet centaurs. There's a new super mutant companion — Moe, who can be recruited in Black Mountain after dealing with Tabitha.
* Acceptance into Utobitha open to mutants only. Former human servants of the Master conditionally accepted for purposes of centaur feeding duties.
Mariposa is powered by New Vegas Script Extender and JIP LN NVSE Plugin.
Developed by Rafael (genin32), 3D rigging— Nico (SangreBK), and graphic design— AJTordik and Jeremy (Devastatin' Dave).
Special thank you to Hallows Elf, AJTordik, SangreBK and WebbProductionsEntertain for their support!
A big shout out to my long-time Patreon supporters: James Barker, steviewonder776, Gareth, Hallows Elf, Nickle Pickle Mand, Ragin, Major Mutant, Thin Lizzie, and Quinn.
