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

[-] Player2@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

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

[-] rosahaj 4 points 8 months ago

yea, he's an fev mutant

[-] teft@lemmy.world 63 points 8 months ago

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

[-] rosahaj 4 points 8 months ago

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.

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

[-] rosahaj 22 points 8 months ago

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

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

[-] nesc@lemmy.cafe 3 points 8 months ago

All ghouls are fev mutants, get your facts straight, nerd. 🙃

[-] teft@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

No they aren’t. FEV mutants were exposed to the Forced Evolutionary Virus which changed them.

Ghouls were exposed to radiation which ghoulified them.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 7 points 8 months ago

IIRC you need a specific gene as well, which is why some people ghoulify and some just die from radiation poisoning.

[-] rosahaj 7 points 8 months ago

I'm pretty sure the aerosolized FEV thing is from the Fallout Bible, and thus isn't explicitly canon?

[-] nesc@lemmy.cafe 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I think they just were in f1 (iirc they were mostly moral device in the game, like who cares they are zombies or oh god I can't just steal from people), in f2 they were exposed to fev, and in later games not sure probably retconned one way or another.

If there is no fev in the air where all other mutants come from? 🤔

[-] rosahaj 1 points 8 months ago

the beginning of this comment is hard to interpret for me, so I'm just gonna leave it alone. but I think the idea is the other mutants are just caused by radiation, or at least FEV isn't explicitly a cause other than... in racoons according to 76? radiation works differently in fallout cause the devs wanted cool monsters

What's "onwards" of fallout 4?

[-] DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 17 points 8 months ago

76 and perhaps the TV show?

[-] sgbrain7@lemm.ee 8 points 8 months ago

yassified!

[-] rosahaj 4 points 8 months ago

[-] Strayonaise@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

Old ghouls would call the new ghouls smooth skins

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

And they continously get new powers out of nowhere

[-] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Very chic
