If they went ahead to include flatworms they should have at least had the decency to include penis fencing, what what?

well, according to the cat-hating ESF lore folks they where ALL eaten by the population.
even Pumas and Cougars appearently.
got almost to the point of flamewar in one of the threads that discussed why no other mutated animals is present in Fallouts.
It's actuall from FO2. See:
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Cat
Centaurs are a result of various people and animals being thrown together into the FEV vats.

Ausir said:
yeah i know, but cougars and pumas too? thats a pretty far stretch but screw it, those threads on ESF was enough.
The thing I'm wondering about is how they plan on explaining the existence of this swamp when they've already shown that even 200 years is supposedly not enough time for any sort of plant growth beyond a few shrubs throughout the area nearby Washington.

The same way that Washington after 20 nukes and 200 years looks in pretty decent shape? Surprisingly, Bethesda didn't really care about coherent art direction. What a surprise...

They sure built sturdy power generators before the war. Oh, and computers! And light bulbs! Not to mention cloathing.

An honest guess on how this alien abduction quest will play out, based on previous known quests from their games.
Quest journal will spontaneously tell you, "I have heard rumors about flying saucers in the countryside. I should go and investigate."
You go to the place marked for the quest, and you see a lone NPC standing idly in the place. On seeing you, however, he runs at you, reciting a looping dialogue where he is panicking. Brief exchange between you and him, where he says some incomprehensible stuff, and you get some arbitrary options where you can try to prod him, but to no avail.
Walking further, some triggered cinematic of light flashing will take place. Inside the alien vessel, a long passive first-person cinematic will take place with these aliens, before they go away. Your journal pops up again to give you a hint about escaping.
Short romp through alien ship to find your gear, kill aliens, subquest to rescue some fellow human, before you find a teleporter and come back as you came.

Maybe Harold's twin-brother who has a tree called Rob has traveled to that swamp and the tree has grown bigger and all that.

Seriously? Well, let's start with BoS and Enclave and Super Mutants. All fucked up from the previous versions.
BoS, goodie good knights in shiny armor, instead of the reclusive technology-hoarding zealots they were earlier. Oh and they just "decided" to travel across the continent. Yup.
Enclave, which was destroyed in F2 and now is just a nazi/imperium-clone. Uuh yeah.
Super Mutants, which were created by FEV on the West Coast AND were sterile, are now on the East Coast with enough numbers to rival horny rabbits. Oh and they got NEW mutations which make them even bigger and meaner, which makes perfect sense since the FEV is gone and they are... sterile!
I know Betsoft tried to make some backstory how the players ended up on East Coast but it was stupid as fuck, so yeah. They've alread shat upon the lore for good.

In FO2 you learn that super mutants were not sterile after all, it just took them many years, after their transformation, to "get their juices going" . Marcus told you this, when he was wondering if he impregnated the hooker in new reno.
And the main problem with FO3 is not that they changed some elements of the setting , but the fact that the dialog, story and lore are mostly crap. So every new element they add/change/twist is almost certainly going to be childish and stupid.
