No. If the game is still Fallout, then people hate ghouls. That would mean rewriting and rerecording most dialogue and the storyline, which they can't.

Fixed.

This honestly couldn't happen without committing huge amount of time and resources to it (writing new dialogue) or without it feeling like a tacked-on gimmick.

-Real 3d
-visceral combat experience
-choice(s) with consequence
-play as a ghoul this time around
-next-gen
-etc...
-I think I've made my point

Get out of mah head!! :ahhh:

Good points. Though here's one or two advantages to being a ghoul:

-Automatically get an enhanced Cannibal Perk.
-Never attacked by Ghouls unless provoked.
-Possibly not attacked by Super Mutants (In FO3, a ghoul human mentioned they "leave us alone".
-As a Feral, you'd be an evil character, so anytime you enter a town, attack everyone as though you entered enemy territory. As a human Ghoul, there'd be some tolerance as in FO3.
-You could start out a normal human from the vault, but eventually change into a talking ghoul (radiation poisioning unchecked for too long).
-Unless you curb the radiation levels, you'd slowly change from 'human' ghoul, into a Feral Ghoul or a Swamp, Reaver Ghoul, etc., which would enhance your strength, but decrease your intelligence, making most weapons useless.

Beyond that though, being a ghoul is more of a novelty than a fully functional character, unless they change up the rules of what a feral ghoul could do.

It wouldn't be hard for them to take a ghoul human character and map those options into the create a character intro.

Alright. I'll point out, again, what everyone seems to be ignoring.

Are you listening? Good.

They will not allow ghoulification because it would cause them to have to write, nearly, an entirely different storyline for all the conversations, quests, factions, to reflect this. This would take HUGE amounts of work, and take away work from other parts of the game. So please stop telling them to ignore the rest of the game so you can have green skin. Get a damn sharpie and color your television green or change your RGB on your television, but stop asking Black Isle to drop their work on finishing the game and accede to your damn nagging about green skin and radiation healing.

NOW HUSH

bliviongate:

This would work best in an action-platformer with some RPG elements (upgrades), where you could do some acrobatics, and once in a while you would turn feral for a short while, giving you super strength and speed, letting you hurl slime balls. The story would be fighting for ghouls rights or something ridiculous like that.

Don't get why cannibalism would be enhance, nor why being feral automatically means you're evil (you're just more beastly, not less moral).

I'd play that, but it wouldn't really be "Fallout", just a small game based in the Fallout universe.

Feral, in the ghoul sense, means "Mindless".

yes if you get over 700 rad you fall you the floor and wake up as a ghoul

I almost hate to do this.. but since this thread still lives. Here are threads already going about playing as a ghoul.

Then there is the good old http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1093005-what-do-you-want-in-new-vegas/

Those are just the ones not locked. More about people wanting to be super mutant as well. Point is there are so many threads. I am sure by now everything on this subject has been said.

I've told one of the moderators before to pin a thread about a popular topic, that way we could avoid a crap load of "I wanna be ghoul in NV" or "CARS!" threads.
But they don't do it so this will continue to happen.

Nobody EVAR said what I said!

Can people please stop complaining about that !!!


Oh, now look what you have done
your complaining has caused me to complain about people complaining and therefor adding to the annoying complations!!!!!

you dont need to be a ghoul

What do you want me to do next? Stop the Tides? Make the moon go Polar rather than Equatorial? Bring about World Peace?

Those are all attainable goals. What you ask for is a bit harder to do. Pinning the thread is the easy part. However since people ignore those too, maybe I will just close this over moderated thread.
