Since there was one in Fallout 2.

Would be fun to play ghostbuster. Really hoping to see at least one in NV.

I don't think there will be. Would be interesing to have a special random encounter or talk from tribals about ghosts.

This.

I don't think ghosts fit in Fallout anymore than aliens.

I find it far more creepy to have spaces like the drainage pipe family and message from beyond the grave (in anolog form) or like the house in Georgetown where a Mr. Handy can continue to read bedtime stories to the long dead husks of children eternally tucked into bed. That is spooky stuff, and has nothing to do with transparent NPCs or supernatural entities.

I'm all for the environments to portray more personal stories from careful observations of the details, like the examples above, or the demolished house you can find in Springvale with acceptance letter from Vault-Tec and luggage on the front step (possible survivors for Vault 101, just a little too late).

So, no, I don't what ghosts or aliens, but eerie and chilling environments are just fine.

I wouldn't mind hearing talk about ghosts, aswell as a kind of easter egg with an old, abandoned manison where you hear creepy noises, things fall down, doors open slowly but you never see a ghost, except for maybe some shadows which you can't make out what it is, just movement.

I wouldn't mind experiencing a bit of paranormal activity here and there as long as it's rare. The side quest in Fallout 2 with the visible ghost was a bit over the top (though the spirit's visibility can be chalked up to the Chosen One being a tribal I guess), but the more believable paranormal activity found in Fallout 3/Point Lookout was enjoyable. Unfortunately the paranormal activity of Fallout 3 was very, very easy to miss.

If they're as frightening as the demonic ghosts in the broken ship in Oblivion, I'm all for ghosts. Only thing is, would energy weapons be able to disintegrate them since they're already dead? Feral Ghouls fall into the same category as ghosts I'd say, though ghosts aren't physical beings.

I don't think physical weapons should harm them. I'm thinking more Ghostbuster type weapons or something.

I think light should harm them, or atleast hold them off on a distance. Or they're attracted to light so as long as you don't shoot, walk in to much light or fire your weapon, you are fine Becuase if they are shadows, then they need light to become shadows, so...

You found those ghosts frightening? I guess frightening maybe in the sense that they took a lot of damage to go down, but other than that? Not really.

I certainly don't want ghosts in New Vegas that can be killed. I mean, come on! That would introduce even more insane questions than there being visible ghosts in the first place. Are you planning to stab them to death with a Throwing Spear, since they "fall into the same category" as Feral ghouls? Ferals aren't zombies, they are living, breathing, human beings that are brain damaged and insane.

Vote No to pseudo Vampires, Zombies, and Ghosts in our Fallout!

A ghost? Yes.
Several ghosts. Perhaps.
Ghostbusters? No, never, go buy Ghostbusters The Video Game if you want ghostbusters.

Zombies do exist though. They're called "feral ghouls".

And so do vampires (The Family!).

So it's quite hard to vote no.

THIS :goodjob:

The Family weren't vampires, they were just cannibals.

Feral Ghouls aren't zombies. Zombies are the dead reanimated. Feral Ghouls were never dead.

It's actually quite easy to vote no.

Also I vote no.

Zombie in the sense they are mindless. Ghouls were also called Zombies in past games but they are not undead.



They are not Vampires. Their leader even says that. They are just a group of people that act like vampires to keep from becoming mindless cannibals.



Ghosts I would not mind but I just don't see the devs adding them. Like I said in another post. Talk of ghosts and easter eggs I am all for :fallout:

Ninja'd by MrSmileySmile :ninja:

Regardless if zombies and vampires existed or not, ghost was in Fallout 2.

I am renowned for my ninjabilities

The Family weren't cannibals. Have you really played Fallout 3?

"The First Law "Feast not on the flesh; consume only the blood. This is our strength."
We do not eat the flesh of those we kill for food. We will only drink of their blood and leave the body intact. The consumption of flesh is filthy and unclean. This action is what causes the humans to treat us like animals. We are not animals, we are The Family. "

Nice job wiki'ing that real quick.

They made those laws because they had experienced cannibalism and wanted to distance themselves from it. Look at what that kid did.

P.S. Probably shouldn't use the "Have you really played Fallout 3" card when you clearly use wiki to pull out massive quotes. It doesn't work well.

P.P.S. To further solidify my point here is the first paragraph of the "The Family" entry on vault.wiki

Vance formed The Family by gathering together people like himself - people who experience a cannibalistic hunger. Vance intends to help these outcasts survive and find some sense of community by banding together and adopting a strictly vampiric lifestyle, rather than cannibalism.

:ninja:

So if I drank someone's blood I wouldn't be a cannibal?

Dude, The Family were a bunch of crackheads who thought they had become vampires and believed it so strongly that nothing else existed for them.
Ingesting another person is cannibalism. even if it's just a piece of nail or some hair it's still another person you're eating.

And dude, I have nothing against ghosts but just cause they were in fallout 2 does not mean every fallout game in the future HAS to have them.

Nah dude, you totally missed the first paragraph and only quoted the 2nd on that page. This is the first-

"The Family is a gang of self-proclaimed vampires that live in Meresti Station, east of the settlement of Arefu."

I think cannibalism is just the eating of flesh. I know it's a fine line. Drinking someones blood would sound like it but eating any part of another person? That would mean we can be a cannabal in FO2, just go to the Golden Globes and take the Fluffer job :angel:

^ Well would swallowing your own saliva be a form of cannibalism then in that definition?

Ah, so that was the second rather than first paragraph...but that doesn't have much effect on how thoroughly my point disproved yours.

They are self-proclaimed vampires (they call themselves vampires) and Vance formed The Family by gathering together people like himself - people who experience a cannibalistic hunger. Vance intends to help these outcasts survive and find some sense of community by banding together and adopting a strictly vampiric lifestyle, rather than cannibalism.

They're cannibals who call themselves vampires and follow in the famous practices of the mythological beasts. Cannibal =/= Vampire, drinking blood =/= vampire, drinking blood ~ cannibal.
