Come ere'. Don't cry... :blush:

A ghoul might work, but I don't think super mutants and Nightkin are on good terms with the vast majority of the people you interact with. I imagine thats why you only see one super mutant in Vegas (Mean son of a b*tch) and all the nightkins seem to suffer major mental issues ranging from split personality to various forms of dementia and scizito. Ghouls on the otherhand are seen in human settlements and overall seem accepted. Only issue is most ghouls I've encountered are pre-war and so on. But its not like fresh ghouls aren't being made today.

well there are some well-behaved mutants in the wasteland(s) and if the mutant is friendly any waster would want them as a protector

Dosn't matter if they are well behaved most humans fear or hate super mutant and most would shoot first. Lily only gets a free pass because she is a companion. I can only imagine a mutant without ties would just get a bullet in the head if they went anywhere near the strip, hell they would get shot going near Novac.

ToS has a world where all the races you play as live under the empire as relative equals.

In fallout the varying sentient races have tenious relations at the best of times with Ghouls and humans being the closet with only rampent racism and the inability or unwillingness of some humans to look at ghouls differently from feral ghouls.

The whole multiple race play dosn't fit as well in Fallout.

One problem with playing any sort of Super Mutant-type character would be a severely limited weapon selection as their fingers will not fit the triggers of most Guns or EW. On the other hand, since SMs can have a STR in excess of the normal 10 cap you could carry multiple heavy weapons with no real capacity loss, especially if you also take the Heavyweight perk, however most of those have a 75 or 100 skill requirement so you'd be operating well below the norm for a while. Heavy-Armor melee tanks would be their specialty, as they would also have a really high END.

Ghouls wouldn't be able to raise STR, END, or AGI very high and would also have a hit to CHA if going by lore, however they'd get a bonus against Radiation and Poison effects as well as a high regeneration factor based on how irradiated they happened to be. Heavy weapons would mostly be out but Sneak and Survival would get bonuses, which would make them excellent Ranger-types.

The above is pretty bare-bones, but you get the idea. Would need a lot of fleshing-out to be properly playable, and I'm not sure it would be worthwhile given the likely high difficulty in interacting with the Human inhabitants of the Wastes.

Playing as a Super Mutant a lot of communities would shoot you on sight, while as a Ghoul they would be suspicious/paranoid towards you to say the least; in either case, if you somehow did manage to get them to talk instead of shooting there would have to be a whole bunch of specialized dialogue reflecting that race's inherent standing with that particular location.

As such, unless the developers go to great lengths in dialogue, NPC attitudes, and face generation it just won't work, as all you'll be doing is playing a green-(SM) or yellow- (Ghoul [Glowing One-class]) skinned human with a few 'cosmetic' traits slapped on and that would be utterly unsatisfactory to say the least.

A ghoul player could be interesting. Nightkin and supermutant would be kinda wierd, considering a bunch of people would probably shoot you on sight.

Thank you. NOW HOW ABOUT A BACK MASSAGE.

Gillyman check this out: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1175207-fallout-4-speculations-suggestions-and-ideas/. Gab made a freaking essay about it

Well, at least the forum's not dead.
And like the old saying goes "If you don't have anything nice to say, you probably like mayo over mustard", or something like that.
On an unrelated side note:I hate mayo :biggrin:

OT:Ghouls are cool, but Super Mutants and their purple cousins are a bit far

ROFL. wow.

Ghouls are old and practically dead. Super mutants are stupid.

Only east coast mutants are stupid, the West are smarter.

See Lou on the Fallout wiki or Youtube, he's an example of a smart mutant.

Yah i seen him.

Luo & Marcus are the best super mutants

Does the master count as one?

No, he's a mutant, a unique case, like Harold and Talius.

gab? as gabriel77dan?

Gabdan is universally known as Gabe

Indeed

lol. I dont like that university!! jk.

Sadly my Mr Fish never stuck. :sadvaultboy:
I thought it was catchy.

seems like more reason for the game to freeze up. i dont know how its wofking for pc people right now but 360 and ps3 it is nasty. real bad since the dlc soon as im around 8500kb of info it freezes all the time ive even started fast traveling now because i know it will freeze 10 times if i start running through the the wastes and fast travel is against my religion in any game. 1 person seems fine to me. they changed some things if u make a female good enough. i think they should put their efforts into the freezing.
