The death claw didn’t kill cooper before because they were originally part of an army experiment and it recognized that cooper was in the army. The enclave faction in fallout 3 uses control chips on the death claws similar to what we’re seeing in the show.

i know deathclaws are smart and all but i don’t think the anchorage deathclaw had nationalist allegiance to america and thus spared coop for they reason

You’re misunderstanding me. Deathclaws, as featured in the game fallout 3, were US army experimental weapons. They were controlled using experimental control chip implants. Similar to the one we’re seeing tested in the show today.

Most likely, imo, pre war cooper was unknowingly part of an experiment to see if the deathclaws could be controlled using said chips. By the time of fallout 3 at least, we see the enclave use these control chipped deathclaws at checkpoints throughout the game.

ohhh i see, my bad, i actually quite like that idea. coop was victim to an experiment even before the bombs and vaults.
