Made a few more mutants earlier today, 14 str 18 everything else, tinker, picked up psychometry thinking I'd get a energy wep eventually, and grabbed 3 of the mystery mutations. My first two incarnations got two crappy mutations on the first couple levels, and I wound up giving up on them. My third char got the *exact* mutations as the guy I made yesterday. Different order, but still - pretty whacky. Wound up with force bubble at level 2 before leaving town, regen at level 4, and multiple legs at level 7. I was actually hoping for more offensive mutations like disintegrate, but how can I complain with three 5 pointers thrown at me?
This being the second char with the exact same mutations, I'm really starting to like them. The extra legs makes him move fast enough to outrun stuff, the regen lets me regenerate while fleeing, and the force bubble is a free panic button. I also used the force bubble to get my way into Grit Gate right off the bat before doing any quests, because the glowpad merchant had a grit gate recoiler and my force bubble pushed their force field and door out of the way. Managed to buy a sniper rifle from the grit gate merchant really early on (barely managed the money for it, even after raiding and completely pilfering the rust wells and red rock, had to sell my extra power cells and stuff lol).
