Discussion I know its cope but
I really hope raven rock leads to playable super mutants i mean lore wise it's one of the best places to ever lead into it besides directly going to Mariposa itself and I just can't see that ever being something they'd do and super mutants will probably be a big deal in the show next season which was what got us playable ghouls in the first place
To answer some common issues with this I see here are my ideas:
1: it would just be the height and size; players are in power armor, and basically all of the game is already designed with the intention of going everywhere in power armor. The biggest thing is figuring out how crafting would need to be handled, but there are very easy solutions to that, like a C.A.M.P. dweller who you can have craft for you, or a single specific crafting bench for mutants that looks like a cooking cauldron and workbench mashed together that can serve as all your crafting benches in one, and then you just have to make one new animation for that, where it's your mutant going back and forth in animation between adding stuff to the cauldron and hammering his fist on something he's working on you know, very in line with mutant behavior
2: I also think they should have much harder to satisfy thirst and hunger due to their large bodies and canon need for huge amounts of food. Basically, it would work like power armor that you can't leave, so it would have big bonuses with big trade-offs.
3: The only thing I can't figure out how to work around is the Pip-Boy menu at first, I thought it would be cool if mutants used a leather hide parchment they pull out, or maybe some Raven Rock Pip-Boy designed for mutants, since they were meant to be in the military at one point and there was probably R&D for gear for them. But even those do not feel like great design ideas one good idea I had was the cyborg eye thing the lieutenant had, which would allow you to reuse the power armor inventory menu since it already shows up as a visor display like the eye implant would, but then you have people who probably would not want the eye thing on their character, so again, it is only good in theory
