Ghoul

Protagonist's name: The Wanted

Race: human(formerly) ghoul

Protagonist's goal: to find a way to help the Brotherhood of Steel despite being a ghoul

Note:Note: Although the characters are birds, in the final version they will actually be human (it's just that I don't know how to draw humans)

Fun fact: the game starts in California and then your character goes to Washington DC (The capital Wasteland)

Seriously, this is the first time since Fallout: Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel that people could officially play as a ghoul. Honestly, I expected there to be at least a little discussion about this. Also, as a side note, why does one of the ghouls in the season 20 keyart look like Frau Engel from Wolfenstein?

I've played through the Fallout 4 main questline probably a dozen times to date, maybe two dozen. And I have ideas about how things could / should progress after the game ends. Most importantly, I think the social and technological progress made should not be lost.

I think the Minutemen / Railroad (and optionally BoS, though they're deeply problematic) ending is the best. Destroy the Institute, allow the evacuation of the Institute's personnel. That's all in-game.

Post-game, I think Solé, in her role as General of the Minutemen, and considering her pre-war training as an attorney, should do the following (in no particular order):

• Disband all militias other than the Minutemen within the New England Commonwealth, including the Gunners and all Raider bands. Offer amnesty to any willing to disarm. Forcefully disband all who refuse.

• Establish a reliable postal service (can be based on in-game Provisioner personnel and routes).

• Use the Mechanist's factory and robot workers to facilitate construction / reconstruction of safe and effective housing for all.

• Call a constitutional congress. Establish civilian government. Civil rights for non-feral ghouls, synths, supermutants, and machine intelligences.

• Subordinate the Minutemen to civilian authority. Divide Minutemen into internal / policing forces and external / military forces. Possibly rename internal / policing forces to "Marshals."

• Recruit former Institute personnel to investigate Zetan activity and technology, starting with the crashed saucer near Oberland Station. Full disclosure of extraterrestrial activity to public. Possibly base this initiative at the old ArcJet building.

• Recruit former Institute personnel to reinstall the beryllium agitator in the reactor at Mass Fusion to provide clean power for the Commonwealth. Use the Mechanist's workforce to reestablish powerlines to all communities.

• Establish exploratory corps, possibly organized under the Minutemen or BoS, to determine what other US / Canadian / Mexican remnant populations exist. Eventually extend to European / Asian, then African and Australian, and potentially Antarctic exploration.

• Send diplomatic delegations to other known civilization groups. Capital Wasteland, &c. Expand as appropriate following exploration efforts as in the previous point.

What have I missed? What would you add to the list, or remove from it, and why?

Ok I wonder why John hancock (not the founding fathers one) wearing 18th century fashion outfit when Fallout franchise was Taking place in 2102 and 2286??

Is he actually veteran of American revolutionary war??, cus he is ghoul,which could speculated that he could died before the bombs fell, which Bethesda didn't tell us about his origin story at all, or maybe he is just wearing it just for honoring the people who fought in the American Revolutionary war??

Sorry I meant to say 22-23th century, cus it cuts out the last word

Since Fo3 was when I got into the series, the impression I got from ghouls is that they're supposed to look like rotting abominations and because of that they face a lot of social stigmas for their appearance. Because of this, I've always been interested in the idea if a Fallout game will have something like an Elder Scrolls race selection and allow races like super mutants and ghouls to be playable characters and get alternate responses from NPCs.

A "mile in ones' shoes" sort of interest.

But when I first played Fo4 and met John Hancock, I couldn't help notice he or the other Fo4 ghouls were not as ugly as Fo3 ghouls. While still have scarred skin, their skin seems more healthy than Fo3 ghouls, and he seems somewhat handsome for a ghoul. Same for The Ghoul in the upcoming TV series, who looks like Goggins with just some mild skin irritation all over. Sure, he lost his nose, but his teeth, eyes and ears still look healthy.

I'm reminded of the fanfilm Nuka Break, which likely had less of a budget than Amazon is providing, yet Ben still had a convincing ghoulish appearance.

I'm just saying, should ghouls look ugly and scary for the sake of lore and not be prettified just to look appealing to audience/Hollywood standard of beauty? Because wouldn't that just defeat the point of it all?

Could mental illness can have a major effect for a ghoul to become feral? I remember watching an iceberg video that brought up this suggestion and I thought it was interesting. But wasn’t sure if this is necessarily true since the nature of ghouls is still unknown.

In Fallout, as far as we know, there were no ghouls in Hiroshima or Nagasaki, why is this? I've seen this question answered with "irradiated fev causes ghoulification" but that seems to have been retconned.

So in canon, do the types of ghouls look the same or different? Because ghouls get treated like they're the same but from a gameplay standpoint they look different. Is it just racism?

All throughout the Fallout franchise, we meet various Ghouls that have been a ghoul for only a handful of years, and some for over 200 years. Being one of the most unfortunate group of people, being treated poorly by everyone, living in bad areas because they can't be in nice places without being shot at, possibly suffering emotional pain because of being a ghoul and not being a "smooth skin".

So my question is, what exactly is the life of a ghoul like? How do they deal with being a ghoul, how to they handle issues, what's civilization in their terms like?

So I just had just finished kiddy kingdom quest where we had to find oswald

And he said that someone was looking for a cure for ghoulism that got me thinking is there a cure to ghoulism. hancock became a ghoul by using an experimental drug, if the post war world had a drug to make you a ghoul wouldn't they have made a way to undo ghoulism

I’d like to hear your thoughts.

I feel that there should be a trade off for each race. Example, a Ghoul would be damn near invincible to rads but normal chems (including stimpaks) wouldn’t work as well.

So... today playing FNV I went to Vault 34 and did the usual drill; avoid radiation, get to the passwords, activate the pumps, etc. But then I noticed that there where ghouls in one of the rooms that where flooded before, which makes me wonder; would ghouls need to breathe? Wouldn't they drown just as a human would if left underwater for too long?

So can y’all tell me why there are no Feral ghouls in power armor like I just find it unlikely that nobody in the armor could be changed

1. What if they were feral ghouls in power armor? Like with no fusion core very slowly coming towards you and knocks your ass out with one punch

2. Can super mutants use power armor pieces for armor? (Like the bigass fallout 4 P.A.)

3. What creatures (animals) can be exposed to FEV and live?
