Swan's Pond | Fallout Lore

While exploring Boston Common, an abandoned central public park in downtown Boston, you’ll likely encounter Super Mutants, Feral Ghouls and Raiders, some of which when critically injured will retreat, but not before telling you they don’t have to kill you, they’ll let Swan do it instead…Looking around you notice something at the centre of the park, a pond, the swan pond, original this pond was far larger before it was downsized several times to the size of a glorified puddle that’s so unimpressive that tourists would actually cry upon seeing it, and those that stuck around afterwards to ride the swan boats frequently crashed into each other because there simply wasn’t enough room to move. Around the edges of The Common and leaking into the streets beyond are warning signs - stay back, keep out, danger, swan, but who or what is swan?

Weird fact - In the design documents Swann is labelled as "Behemoth Juggalo" which explains the painted face, not to be confused with "Behemoth Gigolo"...

I don't think Swan yelling his name is a psych-up. If you search his old shack you can find a note that just reads "YOU ARE SWANN.", suggesting he was losing his identity as his mind deteriorated. He's yelling his name in a desperate attempt to cling to what little of the man he used to be remains, either still somewhat lucid and doing it consciously or completely lost and merely doing it out of muscle memory like a Romero zombie.

I honestly wonder if it's also him holding on to the remnants of "how you introduce yourself". Maybe he remembers you tell new people your name, but can't remember why or how to even do so, and that's combined into his defensive mechanism. Like a simultaneous ploy to stay away from people that might hurt him, but also that he needed help and physically couldn't ask for it. Very I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. Scary.

But less, the point is becoming smart and more “Hey, let’s see what this FEV strain does!” Really the whole original person to Mega smart to mega stupid to dead is similar

They didn't ask to be made into such a creature. Arguably the pain of their never ending growth and the seizures makes them too loony and disconnected from their former humanity to even understand there is anything other than survival. They are one and all ticking time bombs of pain and rage. Unless you can administer a counter serum for their particular strain of FEV it is definitely a mercy to just end their life. Their pain ends and they cannot debase themselves or harm others anymore.

Could be that swan tied that swan statue to his body in order to maintain his sanity by keeping a constant reminder of his human name stuck to him.

Swann is one of the best, yet saddest enemies I've ever seen. His story can be easily missed, due to the fact that most players just loot him and leave. Its an incredibly amazing encounter, it gives you many reasons not to side with The Institute. It also shows that super mutant behemoths are not inherently aggressive, yet are simply destroyed mentally through the pain and suffering they had to endure, and simply attack out of fear, not wanting to endure more pain. In all my playthroughs of fallout four, I've always left Swann alone. It would be great if fallout four elaborated on Swann, and maybe in some way ease the pain for him, or hell maybe even give him the material that reverted Virgil, but on a larger scale. Swann is one of the most underused characters I've ever seen in a game, and has so much more potential.

Fallout is a great and potent IP in a hands of wrong people. Its lore, which could be really amazing, is an equivalent of reading bleach bottle ingredients during number 2.

There is supposed to be a pair of BOOTs in a safe, in one of the buildings of downtown Boston. The boots let you fall from any height without damage. Haven't found them yet.

The saddest part about Swan is that he was the one to make discovery about the FEV.

I wrote a 7 page research paper about Edgar Swann and how his story can be compared to that of Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky. It was a final project for a class and I ended up having to cut a lot of information because it got too long.
