Forum:Ghoulification

in fallout 4 i want the option to be a ghoul. or at least become a ghoul if i get like 1000 rads instead of dying i should get an option if i want to become a ghoul or something and in like an in-game month i should be a ghoul what do you think? oh and like when your customising your character for the first time you can chose what your ghoul would look like.--75.214.182.3 22:41, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

And instead of getting radiation poisoning, you could get something like sun light poisoning, and you can't have an endurance lower than 6 or 7. You should also be able to be a super mutant. With both your charisma can only be maxed out at 5 or 6, mutants cant have a str lower than 6 and int cant be higher than 6 or 7. After a period of time, if you don't do something important (take a one time medicine dose or something) your Ghoul will become farrel and humans run from you, so you have to remember to get your medicine or whatever, and mutants will end up like Lily if they forget their medicine, or something that makes you have to do a certain mission half way through the game to help you. There could be ways to take up your stats without using intense training, maybe implants or something similar. I think you got a great idea here. But I want to be a mutant. Oh, and mutants can't wear armor (too big to wear any) but has a natural damage resistance.Pappy002 00:19, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

that's a great idea and sure a friendly super mutant like uncle leo or fawkes or an evil slaver one kidnapping people then selling them out east to vault 87 in the capital wasteland. and yeah you could get a message to be a super mutant too that might take place in a few hours or a day or something but this is a great idea. and we could customise for super mutants too maybe instead of diffrent hair and stuff you could chose a weapon class and that weapon in that class does more damage maybe 10 or 20% [but you can still use other weapons] and there could be like species perks like ghouls could stay in the sun longer or if you go feral people won't run from you. and super mutants it could be like rank up or something and you could be a brute an overlord or maybe a behometh [level 30 perk] and instead of followers you could hire super mutant firing squads no super mutant is ever alone. and maybe a perk could with each rank give you a centaur pet like max 5. and they could be bought from someone if they die. and a rank up perk would work for ghouls to like roamers glowing ones and then reavers if you go feral. this would be so tight! edit this is OP my contributer number changed.--69.99.252.17 00:39, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Great idea about perks, but I think the ghoul objective should be to not become feral. Feral Ghouls are mindless, and instinctively attack. Becoming a reaver could work without becoming feral. Instead of choosing weapon classes, you could choose to be more skilled with weapons (with a negative to your damage resistance), higher damage resistance (with a negative to weapons) or you could take your special stats higher than the limits I stated above (with a negative to both weapons and dam res). Ghouls could also have a perk or something to were if you wear full helmets, you can pass as a human (like wearing faction armor in new Vegas) but guards can see through the disguise like new Vegas.Pappy002 03:13, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

well there are those two feral ghouls in that church that don't attack you it's in springvale. but yeah there are so many perks that could go with this while keeping your human ones. like maybe smooth talker you could convince people your friendly and they won't hate you and might let you into certain towns or something. and since your a ghoul you would be healed by radiation maybe normally it would be like plus 5 health per 3 seconds but maybe a perk could make it like plus 10 health every two seconds or something like that. and if you can become a ghoul there should be more ghoul settlements across the new area's. oh maybe since feral ghouls don't attack normal ghouls maybe you could find like 5 in the underground and release them on people instead of having follower's though you could still have a dog. imagine an army of reavers being released on a helpless settlement.--75.240.67.95 03:25, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

There are slight rules already chalked up for playing as Mutants and Ghouls; once upon a time, J.E. Sawyer had written a sourcebook for a Fallout pen and paper D10 game; in it, the stats that had 'bonuses' I spose you'd say, were Intelligence Perception and Luck; they basis on such being that Ghouls lived longer, and typically had to survive using wit, due to a slight negative to strength. As for the Luck, it was that Ghoulification is kind of a rare thing; thinking of the wasteland, ghouls are significantly less populace for a reason- Most people become cancerous from radiation, not simply changing, but rather just dying. Ghouls have something about them where rather than the cancer mutation being as it is, their body bonds with it; sort of like a special genetic condition or some such. Ghouls kinda became my thing from the moment I met Gob in Fallout 3. ^^ GiMpLiE 17:34, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

i know there where zombies in the game i didn't want to see a picture so i could surprise myself asnd gob looked awesome! there are only a few i don't like. like mr. crowley and roy phillips after tenpenny tower.--75.214.168.17 18:05, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Wouldnt it be impossible without dying? i thought ghouls were the result of the actual blast itself not exposure to radiation. Levi Lauson 18:22, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

According to the info page on this wiki for Ghouls, they came about as the result of EXPOSURE to radiation over an extended period of time. As for being Ghoulified during a nuclear blast, it's possible. Using Moira Brown as an example she's normal before you set off the nuke in Megaton(if you're playing an evil person). Afterwards, you can find her wandering around Underworld, completely Ghoulified. So based on these two examples, it's entirely plausible that both exposure and nuclear explosion could create a ghoul.--Ryker6120:19, April 23, 2011 (UTC)~1:17pm 4/23/2011

in one of three dog's public service announcements he says ghouls are just people who have been exposed to an ungodly amount of radiation and havent had the good fortune to die. so yeah it's possible.--75.214.161.36 04:20, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
