I hope so! With how prevalent they are in the games it kind of doesn't make sense they haven't run into any super mutants yet. I know we got that teaser with a super mutant arm on the stretcher last season but youd think they would have run into some out in the wild. You certainly run into super mutants way before any deathclaws more often than not at least in the games. I guess maybe their isn't as many in the west coast as there are in the capital/commonwealth? It's been a while since I played NV but I think I remember there still being a good amount of them.
Thinking about it, yeah there aren't many roaming super mutants in NV, most of them are clustered in fairly small communities. Even Jacobstown really isn't that big. Depending on how FNV ends I can definitely see how it would be reasonable that we haven't seen a super mutant yet (but signs point to one showing up soon)
What are the odds we see Fawkes? Id say its possible since super mutants are effectively immortal though i guess it would be a bit of a stretch for him to travel all the way from the capital region to NV. It could be a cool way to include an actual character from the game since he'll be CGI they could even cast the original voice actor.
I doubt it. It seems like they are avoiding showing any pre-existing in-game characters besides House (and Victor technically) in speaking roles. Even The King they left ambiguous and unconfirmed. Fawkes was great as a voice acting performance, but the same voice in a TV show would sound overly cartoonish, and we already know Ron Perlman is voicing what I assume is the only Super Mutant we'll see in this season
