They are not supposed to be frail; they are in a constant state of regeneration ~that's why they live so long. Ghouls are stiff and awkard, but they hit like a hammer, and in previous Fallout's (where they originated), the Ghouls tended to have more hitpoints than regular humans. Lenny (joinable doctor NPC has an endurance of 6, and starts with 129 hitpoints, where a typical human has between 20 and 40 hitpoints).

The typical human PC started out with 30 hitpoints.

This topic is for ideas and suggestions for Fallout 4 so that we can keep all the discussion in one thread. At moderator discretion, threads about specific and distinct topics as they relate to FO4 and the rest of the Fallout series may be acceptable in the Fallout Series forum. General idea/suggestion topics for a future Fallout game will either be closed, or moved to this one.

This thread should be used to discuss items you'd like to see in a future game, gameplay tweaks, quest ideas, things you hope are not in the next game and so on. If you want to discuss major issues, use a separate topic - such as the discussion about adding multi-player or co-op play, which already has a thread. Please search first to see if there is an active/recent thread on a particular topic.

Please, Todd, keep the repair system from Fallout: New Vegas intact.

The thing is, having multiple races in Fallout have major impact on storyline. Super Mutants could NOT fit in any storyline, because most people will kill on sight any Super Mutant they see. Ghouls is an iffy, it really depends on the storyline. A ghoul could have worked in NV for the most part, FO3 it was mentioned in the Underworld that BOS kill on sight any ghoul they see, so it couldn't work for that storyline. I mean, I'm not saying it's a bad idea, it would be cool to experience what it is like to be a ghoul or a super mutant, but it doesn't work out for the game. IF they added Super Mutant, the storyline would have to be based around Super Mutants.
