Herd Mentality - I DO NOT WANT IT!
As the title implies. How do I get rid of this pure f**king annoyance without restarting the game?

I am a SOLO ONLY player. I do not want this "perk" and yet have it forced upon me. I do not know how it started, but I do not appreciate these things being forced when I did not sign on to them as a SINGLE PLAYER...I never joined any teams and yet this is now enabled? I have no idea what team I supposedly joined and now I am forced to restart from scratch after level drudging through 103 levels and never once encountering this stupid "BUG"?

Just in time for Fallout London to be released...at least there I can play single player without all this other superfluous crap...bad enough the developers screwed up the map with this update....now this?

Fallout 4 still comes out ahead.

"I bought a multiplayer game! How dare it have multiplayer elements!"

You knew what you were getting. Either sub to first or play something that's single player focused.

Darwin never lived long enough to witness Idiocracy: The Movie. He'd likely conclude that evolution is highly overrated.

There is single player component to it that should be respected. Do you not understand that simple concept? No?

Not a bug. You likely took a lot of rads and got a random mutation. It is a game mechanic.

Use some radaway to have a chance at removing a random mutation. Doesn't sound like you know anything about mutations but in case you use them remove starched genes perk before you use radaway to remove a mutation. You may want to use starched genes in the future as it will prevent you getting unwanted mutations when taking rads. No rant required as this is also a game mechanic which you may want to learn about.

If you do not have a solution to this, get lost. I am NOT interested in your smarmy response.

Even if it was full single player if you took rads you can get a random mutation as it is a game mechanic. It has nothing to do with the multiplayer or team aspect.

There was a solution and an explanation of how it happened in there if you had bothered to read

/golfclap for spitting in the face of the people who pioneered antibiotics, I guess. Way to stick it to reality.

Thank you. That is what I needed. It wan't obvious what the problem was, as every query I found was that it was a desired perk enabled through teams and not a radiation related problem.

I wasn't responding to you in that comment. I was responding to others who injected their own unwanted opinion into my query instead of answering it.

Well I find it hard to believe that you spent however long screaming that you hated FO76 in a steam forum instead of just googling "Herd Mentality FO76", which I actually DID DO right before posting just to see if there was a bug I had missed.... ya know, kinda wanted to fact check myself before ranting and looking dumb.

That's great. Doesn't change my conclusion.

It does, though!

Ok. No problem. Thought you were replying to me as it was right after my post.
