Would you want to live further like a ghoul or rather just get killed/commit suicide?

Note: the ghouls in the Fallout series do look much better then how you would look in real life. )Just look up a person who's flesh is turned inside out or something
like that..)

-> So this question actually is: could you live with the appearance of a ghoul and the intolerance/discrimination that comes with it.

Live as a ghoul? No. Play as a ghoul? Yes!

Yeah, as long as there were many others like me I d rather be a ghoul than dead, but if I was the only one I d rather be dead.

i would much rather die than be a ghoul

I would probably hate it because wouldn't it hurt with all your skin falling off and melting.

:nod:

I'd want to be a ghoul. All that knowledge I could accumulate, and I would have plenty of "Old World Knowledge". 200 years from now, people would be asking what happened 200 years ago. I could be a walking history book. I can give lessons on failed civilizations since many will crumble in my life. Although, it would be awkward happening without a nuclear apocalypse, but I'm sure with a knowledge bank spanning hundreds of years, people may ignore the fact I'm a zombie. Of course I may have to watch out, if I'm not careful there could be a black van parked outside my house, waiting for me to sleep so they can kidnap me and experiment on me and sell my secrets to pharmaceutical companies. Maybe it would be best if I lived in a church?

I wouldn't "want" to live like a ghoul but if I became one by accident or force I wouldn't kill myself either.
I'd be okay with it, means I don't have to worry about radiation or diseases anymore.

Seeing as I don't really know what it's like to be a ghoul, I'm not sure. Basically, things like whether it hurts or not and whether you'll get used to it might be deciding factors. However I'd love playing as a ghoul if the world was reactive enough, but I'd rather they stick with human as a default in the future.

I think that most ghouls don't want to be ghouls, but some (the ones that haven't gone feral) have come to accept their situation and just deal with it.

Yes, i dont think it would be a problem. There would be plenty of other ghouls about, even female ones so you wouldnt miss out in the six department. You could still drink beer and you wouldnt have to worry about quitting smoking cos your already f...ked. And if anyone gives you any s..t about your looks, just shoot them. Yes i think you could lead a happy existence.

I'd tolerate them so long as they where pleasent back; e.g. not using abusive language. As for being one, I have no idea. I'd have to see how many others there are, what kind I'd probably become, etc.

As long as I had body armour that could cover my entire body. Such a power armor, or Metal Armor with a Metal Helmet.

There are human females who like ghouls also and human males who like them too, if the latter is your choice.

No way.

The question itself is offensive. Zombies deserve a bullet to the noggin and nothing more, 'nuff said.

Ghouls aren't zombies. :wink_smile:

Derp... It's a derogatory term for them. As in "Get dem zombies off mah lawn!"

I don't think so. I am too vain, most people are. I mean even if you aren't a particularly vain person, most of us brush our hair, take showers, use lotion and deoderant, and fantasize about other humans sixually. I am a modest person, but looking like a zombie, being hated by other humans, never having six with a normal human again, not being able to have children (many people seem to ignore or forget this particular fact). Some people say they are glad to be immune to radiation and disease? Isn't being a ghoul a disease? Isn't the worst threat of radiation becoming a ghoul? Ghouls eventually die too, as all people do, so having all these superior survival traits is worthless. I'm not morbid, life is worth living, but living a life just to defy death is insane.
If I became a ghoul, I'd might go feral. They don't choose to be feral, they just go insane. But if I became a ghoul, I would hope I wouldn't commit suicide. I would try to benefit the world. And if I was in Fallout, I tried to help ghouls be treated fairly even with my ghoul prejudice (the prejudice that I would occassionally avert my eyes and pity them, which is a bit cruel). If I became feral, I would hope non-feral ghouls would kill me before I killed others.

You say there are ghouls that would want to have six with you, but would you want to have six with them? And how many ghouls would actually want to do that, in reality (Fallout seems to have a positive perspective, that many ghouls would)? And humans wanting ghouls would be even rarer. And wouldn't they be those creepy pervert humans, who want to bang animals or robots? If someone is a ghoul fetishist, they probably don't care about your mind, soul, or personality. They want warm, rotting, lumpyskin straddling their face. It might be different, if two people were in love, and one became a ghoul, and they continued their love despite that.

What if you got irradiated from the waist down? Like the mermaid of irradiation? You had a human face, and a ghoul whoopsy-daisy [my parents never taught me the proper terms for sixual organs ]
Would you want that? It would svck 364 days of the year. Then Halloween rolls around. You could stroll into Little Lamplight, and declare "My pants are a haunted house!" and become their Mayor like that. Note that when I typed liked that, I paused to snap my fingers.

You can say am racist but i HATE them!And i killed a lot.Ghouls must die.Mojave doesn't need em' :swear:

Over death? Of course.

I'd rather get a 12 gauge slug to the face then live as a hideous, unhealthy ghoul.
