I'm not really seeing how they're the same. The decayed don't seem to give a rat's fat ass about humanity and wants to eat people or turn more people into decayed. The mutants want to be accepted as equals. Imagine having the mutant guard becoming the leader of that hive and controlling them. That's quite an ally to have.Both of these are restating the plot point I criticised as redundant, instead of responding to the criticism itself. Which, again, is that putting two of the same type of character into a work of fiction, and who have the same motivations/goals, diminishes the impact of both. The exceptions are stories designed to impart a moral or philosophical lesson through repeated demonstrations. Like the three little piggies - the very lazy one is eaten, the somewhat lazy one is eaten, the diligent one survives.
In conclusion, you're no doubt able and willing to circumnavigate this argument forever because not doing so tarnishes your parasocial sexual fantasy, but I'm not. Have yourselves a great new year folks!
You brought up Fallout earlier...Should they not have the super mutant factions and ghouls? That's kinda what this seems to be.
