THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

How the fuck do you purposely turn yourself into a ghoul? How did he even know about them before the bombs fell?

It's not an unreasonable supposition. We knew radiation was lethal before we went and started playing with nukes. Makes sense that in Fallout-verse that they'd have known that sometimes radiation makes people into immortal lepers.

WTF I HATE BETHESDA

To give a bit of leeway to Bethesda, there was shittons of nuclear power everywhere pre-war. Wouldn't surprise me if snake oil radiation tricks existed and a scant few people went ghoul due to them.

HATE FALLOUT

Well he wasn't TRYING to become a ghoul. He was trying to use radiation as some sort of suppliment and the outcome was Ghoul

He didn't do it on purpose. Have you never watched a Noir mystery?

are you that faggot that also claims Myron didn't invent Jet? fuck off retard.

For something so ludicrous, there needs to be a serious explanation to go with it. And there isn't.

>For something so ludicrous, there needs to be a serious explanation to go with it
Since when? It's sci-fi, stupid shit gets handwaved all the time.

...

Myron inventing Jet was just a fanciful tale after he found the recipe
The fridge was a transcription error for a cryogenic pod.

There's a million other things wrong with the newer games that make the gameplay shittier and this is what you complain about? Nobody fucking cares you cunt.

So, how many radioactive cows were walking around pre war?

Ghouls =/= Zombies

At no point it is established that Ghouls don't need to eat or drink water.

Ghouls are basicly weaker but way more durable humans, at no point it is said that they are fucking zombies

that's the point i was trying to make. that one retard won't shut up about the possibility of jet being pre-war even though there is insurmountable evidence that Myron did invent it himself after the war.

You're the one who brought up Jet

only because it would inevitably be brought up. it happens in every thread and i want to put a stop to it for good.

probably a lot
nuclear technology boom and research ethics from the 50's

...

It is stupid and autistic to discuss that. But if they just decide to throw the lore out of the window because "it is fantasy" then just shows how fucking lazy you are that you can't even look up the wiki for like 10 minutes

So you're telling me that there were facilities whos sole purpose was to mutate cows and return them to the general populace? Fantastic.

>I only brought it up because I want people to stop talking about it
And look how that worked out.
Don't bring up Jet next time.

>public didn't know how awful radiiation was
>radiation made cows bigger
>companies irradiate cows for more meat
checks out, famalam.

Man who wrote this dialogue Chris Sawyer?

>Myron inventing Jet was just a fanciful tale after he found the recipe
>[citation needed]

Also, the cryogenic pod explanation is bullshit too, was the kid inside frozen up until the point where you find him or what? How did he get into a cryogenic pod anyways, that's clearly a fridge

He's joking

>made cows bigger
Have you seen the bhramin? They're 2 cows fused together. That's 2x the organs and bones yet they're still roughly the same size as a regular cow. So that's less meat when stuff is all said and done. Do you want to try again and attack it from another angle? I'll give you a do over.

FO2 had an NPC that claimed Jet was pre Myron.

If the original devs couldn't be arsed to be consistent why should Bethesda be held to a different standard?

At least now with the evidence from both games Jet is Pre-war beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Where though?

Mrs. Bishop from FO2.

Someone explain this image

Ghouls are made from traces of FEV though, iirc

Can't be, there was no FEV in Bakersfield.

brb downloading game now and will try to get to New Reno

>Jet existed in prewar world, as it's basically speed
>Myron found a way to reproduce the stuff using post war methods. He claims he invented it when in reality he just found a new way to produce it, possibly stronger than its old form.

>Kid in the fridge
>The fridge was a high end model produced by the same company that produced the vault cryogenics.
>It's got a micro fusion generator to make sure your food stays fresh in a power outage. It's exterior is lead and heat proof.
>The seals however aren't and melt and leak a small amount of radiation that ghouls the kid
>Kid can't get out and freezes till the battery dies
>Maybe stuck in there a few days unfrozen.

Doesn't change lazy writing in the game. But it's doable.

Nope, prolonged radiation exposure that alters DNA or "mutates" them. Now you can die from sudden concentrated radiation yeah, but ghouls come from slowly ingesting/absorbing radiation over a period of time that alters cells instead of killing. Dosage is key.

I'm ok with this, what's bullshit is the complete lack of interest Valentine seems to have when you visit his old office.

Shhhh FEV doesn't exist

in the new meta

what the fuck are you talking about?
fuck off

remember when Bethesda used to revel in this kind of weaselry to fix their mistakes without making retcons?

retconned by bethescuck

...

>We knew radiation was lethal before we went and started playing with nukes

um not for a long time and before many people died.

Did you retards forget about Desmond Lockhart from Point Lookout? He turned into a ghoul with just radiation as well.

This is actually not true at all. They used radiation as a novelty for a period of time, even going so far as using x-rays to determine your shoe size. For quite a while we were fucking with radiation and didn't know it was harmful.

wasn't that a bethesda dlc

I honestly would have been a lot less pissed off if they had done this. I would still be pissed off, but I'd give them a little credit for at least trying to fix it. They didn't even do that, though; Hines just used the most bullshit excuse in the history of fiction.

Holy shit I fucking hate Pete Hines. I blame him more than Todd for Fallout 4's issues, honestly. At least Todd was willing to admit that they fucked some stuff up.

Remember when you were dumb.
You worshipped Bethesda like a chud. Die, you goddamn Bethestard.

Now there’s just retardation in your eyes. Like the downie that won’t die. Die, you goddamn Bethestard. You were caught in the crossfire of Todd and Hines. Clutched in their tight grasp. Piss off, you faggot with retarded laughter. Piss off you manchild, you retard, you downie and die. I hope you die in a dune. I hope you die soon. Die, you goddamn Bethestard. You played a raping of a series all night.You are everything that isn't right. Fallout 4 is an abomination. I hope every single one you fucking retards die across the nation. Die, you goddamn Bethestard. You found your own way to ignore smart decisions. Clutched in his tight grasp. Piss off, you dumbass, you failed emission. Piss off, you sperg, you asshole, you degenerate and die! Fucking DIE. You are a disgrace to a venerable series and you fuel the raping of intelligence and choice. DIE YOU FUCKING BETHESTARDS.

Yeah, I was just wondering why OP was just complaining about it now when there have been multiple people in the series that turned into ghouls with just radiation.

They feed off radiation.

You could just reverse image it?
Officer was delivering some milk to a family during a lockdown
The face/head was shooped

just for their ghoulish side. they need to eat and drink too as all living beings do.

not according to Bethesda

Is it true Todd said that voiced protag was a mistake?

>In New Vegas you can convince a ghoul to be a prostitute

It's so fucked up I shudder at the thought.

Nah m8 just GOMAD m8 sick gains m8

Fallout 4 / 15 Jun 2016
E3 2016: Fallout 4's Dialogue System 'Didn't Work as Well,' Says Bethesda's Todd Howard
Share.
"We take that feedback and I think long-term."

By Nicole Carpenter Despite the shooting in Fallout 4 being "really good," some players thought Bethesda could have improved on a few things, including the dialogue system.

Bethesda Game Studios director Todd Howard spoke to GameSpot about the studio's tendency to "try new things" and how the team's efforts don't always pan out. "Obviously, the way we did some dialogue stuff, that didn't work as well," he said.
>Fallout 4 voice actors spent two years recording over 13,000 lines of dialogue for the game, and Howard said the team intended to use the system to create "nice interactive dialogue," though it ended up being "less successful than other things in the game."

Meanwhile Pete Hines loved the dialogue system because his attention span is too short for dialogue in other games - including Fallout 3 and New Vegas.

I don't even like Todd, but shit, maybe without Hines interfering we could have at least gotten a game as good as 3, even if it would still be nowhere close to 1/2/NV and Tactics.

I'd hire her. Hell, I thought the people in the Pitt with the skin sores everywhere were cute. Started a profile in the Pitt and roleplayed as a qt teenage girl with the disease and escaped slavery. Reminds me I'll have to do a ghoul run now in TTW.

>Dosage is key.

At least until Fallout 3 came along and Moira turned into a ghoul instantly by surviving a point blank nuke.

God damn it I forgot they can make you copy extra shit if you copy and paste directly from news articles. Whoever came up with that idea should die painfully.

Van Buren was going to have a ghoul you could have sex with. She'd get pregnant and everything.

Yeah m8 better gimme some source there m8 fuckin love froggirl m8

I want to cuddle that frog

>She'd get pregnant
Okay, now I'm starting to regret ever thinking lore was important.

Stop

Give me the source for that lewdly insinuating picture and I will.

exactly. in New Vegas there is a dead bitch who wanted to be ghoul and died from radiation sickness.

Also in New Vegas, Raul Tejada remembers and shares his experiences of gradually becoming a ghoul.

No, I'd cuddle and storke her hair and hold pleasant conversations with and even hold her frog hands
also fuck her senseless, because if I remember right she produces a thin layer of slime like a frog, and that shit must feel great in bed, and dat costume man

Then don't post cropped porn. You knew exactly what you were doing you attention-seeking faggot.

>inb4 that's a different user
I don't give a damn.

>You will never make frog girl gag and vomit on your dick before fertiziling her egg pile

The god of this world is not good.

Remember when feral ghouls and smart ghouls were indistinguishable? I get that some ghouls would take care of themselves, but in FO4 smart ghouls are just humans with burnt skin.

Bethesda did, because they forgot it's 100 years in the future and that would be mostly phased out.

It's future 50's motif, not actually still 50's.

The ghouls in Lonesome Road are just as dumb.

To everyone interested in frog girls, somebody in japan made a frog girl porno

URAM-03 or something

The marked men? Thought they were just tribals with their skin shredded from the divide's sandstorms.

BEAR BULL DIVIDE BEAR BULL DIVIDE

stop trying to derail the thread in attempt to get the mods to delete it. it's pathetic.

I fucking hate how ghouls look in Fallout 4. They just look like they're wearing latex masks. Fallout 4's character aesthetics in general were a step down from the previous games and even Skyrim, but I feel like ghouls were shafted the hardest.

URAM-005
That's a bit of a stretch, people just like cute girls

They were Caesar's Legion and NCR troops made "the same" by being skinless-ghouls.

No, they're feral ghouls that regenerate fast from radiation. And they can use advanced weapons because reasons.

They don't regenerate any faster than normal ghouls, I think, just that there's way more radiation to regen off of. And I don't think they're traditionally feral, but traditionally insane from the constant pain and isolation

weren't they just NCR and Legion members who got hit so hard with a nuke that they forgot who they were or what side they were on or what was even going on and they had exposed skin because of the sandstorms?

that's what I said.

nuke made them ghouls
sandstorms made them skinless
pain from skinless made them forget

Not even Bethesda. The original team went back on the idea of all mutations having something to do with FEV sometime around Fallout 2. They were pretty much just trying to explain how Harold exists; they settled on "he's special."

...

She was a 'born ghoul', which are horrible experiments to make ghouls in a different way than normal. So, she's special.

dumb frogposter

...

This was debunked by the devs by saying they were wrong, and he probably got hooked on another drug.

even in 3 the ghoul from point lookout took experimental doses of radiation and became a ghoul

if anything this should be a BETHESDA LORE thread

Just torrented it, acting is hilariously cheesy, the frog girl is a bit chubby, but the body paint job is great and they even give her froggy contact lenses. Girl on girl reipu in the beginning is basically the highlight though

Jet requires post war ingredients, irradiated cow shit to say the least

Vault Tec and the Military was not pursing the field of irradiating manure at just the right point to where it is identical to Brahamin (A creature they don't know exist) and mixing it with other shit and seeing what happens

Also cyrogenics just flat out didn't exist in the Fallout universe (House had to use a really advanced life support machine, robobrains) But Bethesda just summoned them from the Aether just as they did with FEV and Super Mutants

That kid would snap from stress and go feral just like the hundreds others of ghouls in the series who have/have gotten close to from the lack of nutrition

Yes this is autistic but stick to your fucking source material or just officially reboot and let past fans have their peace

>having to explain things is now considered autistic
and they say Cred Forums hasn't changed

Why people like talking about shit games? Do you people seriously play Fallout 4? What the fuck is wrong with you? There are so many better games out there. Get some fucking taste faggots.

It's fun faggot.

>Eating shit is fun

Hey now, I don't judge people for playing Soulsborne games.

Reddits probably having another mod corruption problem again because there has just been an influx of Skyrim and Fallout threads this past week

this quest doesn't even make any sense and is taken seriously
