Behind the scenes

 * No mortal weapon could pierce the golden fur of the Nemean lion in Greek mythology.


 * The picture for the Nemean perk is the same as that for Fallout 2's Dermal Impact Armor. The Van Buren design documents often used pre-existing visuals as placeholders, since the game was still early in development.
