If he didn't turn into a ghoul then I think it's an inconsistency.
Or maybe the Vault Suit is "cursed" so that whoever puts it on kinda... Loses it... And starts killing people.
Like a wasteland bogeyman.

I would actually like to hear more about him in FO4 and future titles, but I never want to see him.
I just want to hear about his violence and brutal ways that make even hardcoe raiders and slavers tremble in fear.
Would be a nice continuity character.

Short answer, No. He'll have died of old age by now.

Seeing would just destroy his persona though.
It's like, in a horror flick, the monster or psychopath is scarier the less we know about them.
The moment we start to see too much about them the less scary they become.
But that's just my opinion on it. :)

I think it would be really creepy to find the Vault boy puppet, blood stained, and intact somewhere...perhaps surrounded by corpses...

Yeah, like Cloverfield and Signs. Those two movies were pretty cool and thrilling as long as you didn't see the aliens.

I want to see him as a running joke maybe, possibly as a replacement harold..

I hate what they did to that... FEV.

That's actually a pretty good way for them to use him. I would liken it to the empty house that people say is haunted. Upon entering it (due to a dare from friends) and having to spend the night, you hear creaking sounds and what sounds like breathing. Having your imagination play tricks on you in far more suspenseful than learning that the creaking was just a door moving from a light breeze( a broken window letting in the wind) and the breathing was just the house "settling".

Not ever seeing him would be a lot more psychologically intense than seeing him in person...he would truly be a boogeyman. :tops:

As far as the Puppet Man is concerned...I've never heard of him before reading through this thread. I have gotten the Vault 77 jumpsuit before, and read the holotape associated with it, but I didn't have any idea what the story was behind it. Can anyone direct me to the best place to learn more about this? I collect comics, so perhaps I could get this Penny Arcade story if it is available for purchase( it sounds interesting) .

Vault 77 technically isn't canon due to it being fan-culture and not something from the Word of God.

What about the V77 jumpsuit and the tape referencing the puppet man in Paradise Falls?

Actually it was the donut ninja mystery solvers, they're absolutely mad, trying to foil mine and Boradam's plans to take over the world by using my account to post!
I simply cannot have that!
I need to find them... And eat them! :cheat:

Still, he could be an awesome new continuity character if they do it right. :whistling: (I mean, since Harold has rooted down we've lost on already.)

Since Harold's organs has been moved around by Bob I don't see how anyone could ever fix Harold except for Bob himself, and even then it would probably take a long time considering trees move very slowly, I'd say take the time that Harold has been stuck to the ground and multiply that by two, I think that's how long it will take for Bob to fix what he did to Harold.
And it's not certain Bob would want to let Harold go, Bob could be in a symbiotic relationship with Harold and if he's split from him he might die.
So Bob is probably not gonna help out Harold.

That guys does facial recontructions in a half sunken ship. A little organ transplant can't be that hard.
