Fallout 4, where talking to feral deathclaws is apparently possible...

Sole Survivor: "Good boy stay, good Deathclaw!"

Deathclaw: '...wow you're so stupid, I don't know what to say. They chose you as the protagonist? . . . Go ahead, carry on talking down to me, I'm smarter by default because I don't talk!'

Deathclaws are friendly if you return their eggs! That's how I was able to waltz through the quarry in New Vegas without a scratch-wait no I was cut down in an instant.

 

Maybe he felt pity for the protagonist for being in Fallout 4, or had just given up at that point.

 

What are deathclaws doing outsize of the Fallout franchise? Is this some kind of crappy spin off by a company with nothing to do with Fallout?

 

Talking to a feral deathclaw is like a ghoul not drinking for 200 years!

oh wait.

 

Ghouls are just humans with weird skin.

According to Fallout 4, radiation heals ghouls, which is weird since radiation helps the feral process.

About the Little Lamplight, I agree. Fallout 3 tried to hard with the 'fun stuff' including a republic of dave, which I didn't find interesting, and a settlement for kids. It. makes. no. sense that the slavers didn't invade it, it was defended by a little kid. They could easily enslave them all.

 

But but but... Fallout is meant to be wacky wasteland fun!

It was the nasty pre-war world that was evil and spooky. With their pre-war locations filled with Draugr. And their endless respawning loot. Those big old corporations... the corporations sit there in their... in their corporation buildings, and... and, and see, they're all corporationy... and they make money!

 

I've never understood how Little Lamplight could continue to exist. Where are the kids who live there coming from? Are we to believe they leave for Bigtown, fuck and have kids of their own, and then send them back to Lamplight? That or the implications get much worse.

 

I would like to point out that Ghouls have always had extended lifespans, and have always had some kind of immunity to radiation.

That being said, Bethesda takes that way too far. The originals established that while Ghouls do live longer, they still do age, with Set's son being an old man by the events of Fallout 2. They also only stated Ghouls enjoy being around radiation, and there was no evidence that it healed them.

As for the Feral Process, that's mostly a Bethesda invention as well. The "Crazies" in Fallout 1 were essentially just delusional, and there's no evidence to suggest that they were completely mindless(Hell, they could still use weapons)

 

Disclaimer: The following may in fact be a stupid question.

If ferals become mindless, how come they don't attack each other or ordinary ghouls? They should be completely hostile if their brains have become so damaged.

 

Resolution of conflict through dialogue?

What a stupid idea, who wants to stand around talking when you can just blast 'em?



I really need to play Fallout 1 again.

 

> XD

Why did you massacre the ghouls?!?!?! HOW DARE YOU
