We on that FEVMaxxing grind 💪

I thought that Harold wasn't techically an actual ghoul, though he's certainly similar to them

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

yea, he's an fev mutant

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

He's more of a super mutant than anything.

Harold is a goddamn sweetie who deserved literally none of what he got.

Commonwealth ghouls have access to a wig shop.

That’s the only way i can figure it.

maybe she's born with it, maybe it's aqua cura

Fallout 4 seperated the design for feral and non feral ghouls, making the former more human and the ladder less so. Ignoring that is kinda cherry picky

im not sure what you mean, ferals were also much more monstrous in 3's artstyle. besides, the post mostly shows how they inexplicably have full heads of hair.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Fallout 3 is not Old Fallout.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

They wear wigs.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 days ago (1 children)

All feral ghouls should look like the top.

Non-feral ghouls should mostly have their heads totally shaved because they're still ghouls and can't grow a full head of hair. Although some of them might wear wigs lmao

personally i think ghouls should have some more variance. admittedly, given the creation kit's systems it might be a little difficult, but surely a few extra headparts and some wackier, more deformed shapekeys could do something

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah I agree with that. More horrible disfigurement would make sense for ghouls. They've become a bit too comic for my liking. I know Fallout has always had a humourous element, but I'd like to see future entries in the series lean more into the horror side of it again.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

Hancock from Fallout 4, source: fallout.wiki Ghouls are too cute now, at least in Fallout 3 they were clearly disfigured (if unvaried and lacking expressiveness) I agree, we gotta lean into the horror of ghoulification. As of present the anti-ghoul sentiments seem really hard to hold up in setting. Like, we coulda had ghouls with half-attached ears, and cancerous growths on their necks, but now we just get kinda melty mannequins.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 days ago (2 children)

In every BGS game ghouls all look identical, and it drives me insane. I feel it really detracts from the fact that ghoulification should be a unique experience to all that undergo it. Unless the Followers have invented some new kinda wasteland plastic surgery trend, of course, but I doubt that.

also ferals look so different from sane ghouls in all the bgs games which I feel is kind of a missed oppurtunity

best ghoul is still harold from FO2 with a tree named bob growing out of his head

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago (2 children)

actually harold is an FEV mutant, not a ghoul, get your facts straight, bub☝🤓

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Unique because a story telling device? I believe overexposure to radiation will have the same effect on all human.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

And they continously get new powers out of nowhere

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Old ghouls would call the new ghouls smooth skins

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

They have to wear wigs to have that hair.

What's "onwards" of fallout 4?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago

76 and perhaps the TV show?
