"Fallout may be sticking closely to the canon of the original games, but that doesn't mean that everything will be the same. We've already learned about Mr. House's decoy secret, and apparently, the ending of this season will be different from any of the endings in Fallout: New Vegas. Because of that, any similarity to the games still comes as a complete surprise - and could tease something bigger in the future."
"In Fallout Season 2 Episode 5, "The Wrangler," Norm and the newly-awakened Bud's Buds venture out of their vault and into Vault-Tec HQ, where Norm hacks into a computer terminal to figure out the true purpose of the vaults. Onscreen, we see the acronym "F.E.V.," an initialism that's later revealed to be exactly what fans were hoping it would be: Forced Evolutionary Virus. F.E.V. is essentially a way to speedrun evolution, a bright green liquid that, when consumed, mutates the user a certain amount. In the Fallout games, this substance is used by the Enclave (the group responsible for the science experiments of Season 1 of the series). They used it to create super mutants, a new subspecies of super-strong (but sterile) creatures who roam the wasteland."
Norm uncovers F.E.V. while exploring Vault-Tec HQ, and the acronym is revealed onscreen as Forced Evolutionary Virus. F.E.V. appears as a bright green liquid that accelerates mutation when consumed. The Enclave used F.E.V. in the games to create super mutants, powerful but sterile creatures that roam the wasteland. Season 1 included Enclave-linked science experiments and a mysterious "cure" taken by Thaddeus, prompting a theory that his apparent ghoulification may actually be F.E.V.-driven mutation into a super mutant. The season's ending diverges from Fallout: New Vegas, suggesting different future directions.
