So why did ghouls went from rotting smelly sick people who can all go feral because they're brains are rotting like the rest of their body to guys with bad skin care?
>>217380238They've fucked with it multiple times. I believe all ghouls will eventually go feral. there's a lot of stuff in the games about ghouls trying to cure themselves before it happens
>>217380238More than one kind
>>217380238they arent rotting like a corpse they are burnt up by radiation
>>217380925radiation makes you rot like a corpse
>>217380968it makes you charcoal, rot requires water and bacteria who are not immune to radiation.
>>217380238They are actively working on retconning Ghoul lore, Ghouls will be FEV induced
>>217380238They are tumblr sexymen now.
>>217380989the process of decaying."the leaves were turning black with rot"2.British Englisha process of deterioration; a decline in standards."there is enough talent in the team to stop the rot"
>>217380238>multiple scenes and explanations throughout both seasons run that the Ghoul is constantly consuming chems to regenerate and keep his humanitySomehow OP is such a faggot he wouldn’t have needed a whole thread for such a simple answer
>>217381036yeah, decay isn't the same as burns. decay is being eaten by bacteria and shit.
there are ghouls and gabaghouls
>>217381113there are many definitions, anon. his use of rot was fine for a non scientific description
>>217381000they're just going to make it incomprehensible as a racial allegory like they did with synths
>>217381247Why, when they do these racial allegories, do they make it so that the minority are these infallible superhumans that everyone is oppressing because of fear?
Stop seething about stupid bullshit
>>217381314Ghouls do have superhuman abilities, they can walk around in radioactive areas without dying which would be a superpowerThe real question is why do so few sapient ghouls use this to their advantage in some way, surely there are valuable things they could reach no one else easily could because of it, which we know is true because a common trend in the Bethesda games is forcing the player to transit through some highly radioactive blast zone to retrieve something
>>217381247They already tried. they added the nuke megaton option in fo3 because they realized the old rich ghoul racist was way too based. having a safe ghoul free apartment block in the wasteland appeals to the smooth skins. had to make him comically evil if you dont let the ghouls inside
>>217380238It’s mostly the eyes that look too human in the show. In the games, all the ghouls have these dead, corpse eyes. The show shouldn’t went with this too but just gave the guy always have sunglasses on or something so as to not freak out the audience every time he’s on screen
>>217380238He takes meds
>>217381695cover the face of your lead thats already covered in makeup even further so he can show even less emotions, surely a great idea
just refuse the show as non canon
>>217380238My headcanon is that the stories in Fallout are fables. In-universe, it's all fictional stories to give hope to the wasteland survivors. That's why the details always change from story to story.
>>217380238It's the entire reason they destroyed the world. Capitalism, Capitalism never changes.Ghouls are the forever consumers they always wanted and Mr House was jealous of their Capitalist pig plan and would rather mind control everyone with chips, thus spending a bunch of money on electricity and processors, explaining why he needs the Hoover Dam
Honest question: Why would anyone expect the tv show to be 1:1 canon with the games? That never happens. Not just for video game adaptations, but it also never happens for novels, or comic books, or tv show-to-movie, or plays, or biographies, or historical movies based on actual events, and so on.
>>217381950>expectHaven't expected anything good in over a decade>hopeBecome some dreams can come true
>>217381000I love how Todd does whatever he wants
>>217381950Honest reply: post a picture of your hand so we can see your skin color
>>217380238In this timeline, Walton Goggins is not playing Skeletor but Jared Leto is instead. That is all.
>>217381000That was the headcanon of multiple people who worked on Fallout 1.
>>217382159That explains why i thought it was irradiated people plus some FEV. Like the opposite of a prime normal being dunked in a vat. Or maybe Harold explained it idk
He's basically taking ghoul andrenochrome
>>217380238since when?
>>217380238Dumb ESL.
>>217381773works for mando
>>217382159There was zero reason to think Harold was a unique ghoul with a special vector of change in F1 and he's by far the most important and charismatic ghoul you meet. He was changed by direct FEV exposure, although not the full dip. You also meet another vault 13 dweller that was sent out before you and was turned into a ghoul with FEV. It was pretty unequivocal. My headcanon part was always that there had been some mutated airborne FEV that triggers ghouling in some infected people when they are hit by heavy radiation and it interacts strangely with the original FEV strain. There was nothing really changed in Fallout 2 and other ghouls were willing to make Harold a community leader, implying he wasn't obviously different to them.I never played Fallout 3 but Fallout 4 has random retards making themselves ghouls pre-war and then sitting in a 100 square foot apartment for 200 years
>>217383645except neither makes senseHarold is the perfect counterexample because he became a unique Ghoul, so clearly FEV changed Ghoulification, not enable itand the one in F4 youre referring to is another example of why it doesnt make sense, FEV was worked on in Mariposa and highly controlled, no way some scientist gave it to some mafia goonand if they already knew about how to turn people into Ghouls, why dont we see more of those deliberate ones? Same way since F4 suddenly everyone had working cryo pods, yet the enclave never thought to use Cryo Pods themselves for anyone in the presidents cabinet?
>>217382159>>217382237>>217383645its official canon from F1. harold was no anomaly, there is another easily missable ghoul at the children of the apocalypse library in the Boneyard. Who also claimed to be a vault dweller that got dipped but turned into a ghoul instead of a mutie. As for the necropolis batch it was always implied in the game that the ruptured tanks from the destroyed West Tek facility (the glow), that was the birth place of FEV and had some sample tanks left, spread small dosages of the mutagen into the atmosphere and the wind carried it to Bakersfield. Where it mixed with the background rads turned the malfunctioning Vault 12 population and surviving citizens into what they are. If rads were the only cause ghouls should be far more wide spread and LA alone should have large concentrations of them. Instead Necropolis is specifically mentioned as an edge case of course this was all back then. Now its Toddlands amusement park, the perma apocalypse where rule of cool is law of the land and Emil is unfit to even write brainless fun pulp novels
>>217384418>you see a car>there is no way that thisno way that this what? you can't just leave it like that, I NEED TO KNOW!
>>217384418>another doom wadWow! I would much rather the Fallout 2 3D remake get finished than another doom wad completed
>>217380238they're in a constant state of rotting and regeneration. depending on rads nearby and health
