Life as a Ghoul... | Fallout Lore

Ghouls have been around since the very first Fallout game, but how much do you really know about them? In today's video, we'll be taking a closer look as to what Ghouls are, how they come to be, and some of the challenges they face living among humans.

What lore topic should I cover next?

[@indecisivewolf5620]

Hey, Smoothskin.

"Sadly, the origin's arent entirely known"

[@biostemm]

I still find it odd that ghouls' skin is all rotted, their noses fell off, but they retain their eyes and tongue...

[@DaBlobmb]

It seems like the Fallout fanbase is far more interested in consistency regarding what ghouls need for sustenance than bethesda is. At time the ghouls need food and water desperately and other times they can spend 2 centuries locked inside a refrigerator.

[@TheTeletrap]

I feel like a faction of ghoul veterans would be extremely interesting. Could you imagine a group with literal centuries of experience in combat, survival, medicine, etc. They would be a small powerhouse in of themselves.

Used to think Glowing One was like a sacred name. No it's like "That's a goul, and there's a glowing one, they glow idk"

[@ColemanJasmine55]

Ghouls weren't as surprising. The first time I saw a Super Mutant I fucking screamed lol

[@averagechadlegionary5824]

Raspy sounding voice

[@SomePointlessShit]

One thing the player will never experience is the smell of a ghoul, from what I can remember NPCs say they smell TERRIBLE. Not just smell bad either, smell like genuine a corpse; like if you left a slab of meat outside for months. So I can imagine it being difficult being friendly with someone, even if they have no control over it, while struggling to over come your gag reflex. Even if you can, you definitely wouldn't be able to in their colonies, being around dozens of individuals like that inside an enclosed space would be impossible to bear!

Wait? The strip doesnt allow ghouls?

[@pauliehelmrich7087]

Interesting enough it’s cannon that ghouls immune system is so good they can’t get sick and they might appear weak but they are super strong and have a healing factor

[@terrancemcguire7345]

Honestly, in all my playthoughs in any game, I'm friendly to ghouls. They're people (in a way) too, and should be treated as such.

[@arespeverell9877]

I think having a ghoul as a main character in a fallout game would be amazing, but having born ghouls is just going to be a clusterfuck.

[@leondavis1093]

In the bit about ghoul children, Billy's case is directly contradicted by Raul Tejada's story of growing up as a ghoul. Bethesda has refused to comment on the Kid in a Fridge quest entirely because it brings up a lot of inconsistency.

[@iamuglypug]

This seems like a nice channel, i can’t believe this channel is so underrated! Good luck youtube man. Nice video

[@coreprecision7696]

Technically Mr House was also willingly turned into a type of Ghoul as radiation was mentioned to pre long his life.

[@kriskappakeepo3991]

I personally can't really blame the more casual wastelanders for treating the ghouls the way they do. It's still wrong and i don't excuse it, but living outside the jurisdiction of well organized factions like the NCR or big cities forces you to be alert 100% of the time. Non-feral ghouls are a rare sight in the wasteland and if you risk coming into contact it could be or become feral and kill you or even injure you. And with information and knowledge being a commodity it seems natural for the most survivors to stay away from ghouls.

"even weirder some human develop a ghoul fetisch"

Billy Peabody wasn't in the fridge since the war.
