THICK???
Feral ghouls probably have some strain of alzheimer's that has been enhanced by radiation and a prolonged life span.
They're just confused and scared.
Adopt a feral today.
why is a pack of ghouls the most threatening thing besides Mirelurks in Fallout now
>>320171029
because zombies man
>>320171109
but they're not zombies
>>320171231

>>320169932
If cures for Super Mutants are starting to pop up, a cure for being feral can't be too far off.
But you don't join the Brotherhood, you're born in it right? That's what Veronica said. Might just be in his rebelling teenagers years
>>320171332
>intense purposes
>>320169932
He joined, and during first real combat they had to kill feral ghouls, which caused him to doubt what he was doing. Happens a lot in war.
>>320171472
East coast BoS does things differently. Although there are exceptions to the rule in the west coast, if the player characters being able to be recruited are anything to go by.
>>320171332

Do you mean lore wise or gameplay wise
Because the Fallout 4 ghouls are laughably easy, they all die in like 2 hits even on Survival, and even then you can just shoot their arms/legs clean off
The worst things in this game are fucking bloodbugs and stingwings

>>320172562
kind of a hybrid between NV and FO3 really. they want to kill all muties & ghouls. and they will help defend the commonwealth, but at the cost of you giving up your freedom
>>320171029
They can dive at you and deal significant rad damage. Also unpredictable movement.
Enemies are so much tougher than Fallout 3 and NV in this game, I like it.

It's specifically mentioned at one point. Though I'm pretty sure that was Bethesda shitting on House.
>>320172786
I could care less what you think, anon.
>>320171029
Because wearing just a battlecoat, a roamer can one shot me if I'm not fully topped off. Consider that with how fucking retardedly fast they lunge at you, even going "through" you to fall onto the ground - then add 5-6 more of these assholes and yes you have a problem.
The only things in this game that have killed me are; infected bloodbug in the clinic, a yao guai that seemingly instantly locked me in death animation even though he wasnt near my melee box and uhh..cars exploding, and random bottlecap mines/nonsense.
I cant say I'm a fan or roamers ONE SHOTTING you in maxsons battlecoat but whatever, you really shouldn't let them close in on you in the first place.

Nah, they're huge assholes again.
A single BoS member, who wasn't even a soldier but a supply officer or something, was taking supplies down into the basement of this airport to feed the feral ghouls. That's what OP is referring to.

Well I for one appreciate a Brotherhood that's not written to be suicidally stupid like the New Vegas one.
>Brotherhood is dying out due to it's inability to change or adapt to new situations
>Veronica sees this, and desperately tries to convince them to recruit wastelanders, or make a truce with other factions, or to do SOMETHING that will allow them to survive, but her efforts are in vain
>Sadly gives up and leaves the brotherhood forever (or not), because it's too sad to see them die out.
>Oh while you're here Courier, could you go fetch some tapes for me?
>Wow thanks for the tapes Courier, you have proven to be an invaluable asset, the Brotherhood now welcomes you with open arms as a full member with every privilege this signifies!
>Make a truce with the NCR? Say no more brother, let's do this!
Honestly, the Veronica quest is great, but it's disconnect from the actual brotherhood questline is too fucking stupid for words. Stellar writing, Obsidian.
Because sometimes people join things for safety or purpose or survival, or sometimes they join something before it becomes clear what their intent or policy is.
Like the guy in the armory at Deus Ex. He didn't agree with what Unatco had become but he disagreed with JC leaving and fighting it. He said something along the lines of good people leaving would only do more harm. They should be working to better it from within, not tear it down.

They've always been anti-mutant. Even the do-no-wrong whiteknight faggots in 3 shot at ghouls on sight according to a bunch of ghoul NPC's. Enclave was anti-anyone that wasn't them.
In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn’t take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It’s clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother’s mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a pizza cake.

They're supposed to be isolationist, but now the east coast Brotherhood under Maxson is trying to unite the people under the BoS by killing every mutant and anyone that disagrees with them.

minutemen - basically exist to give you INFINITE QUESTS via the radiant system.
>>320173929
given bethesda's track record I would have expected to see the brotherhood handing out supplies and arming settlers with plasma rifles, I'm just saying their protrayal in 4 is a lot more true to what's been established than 3.

I'm level 45 on survival. No enemy has even threatened me for 20 levels. Stop being a complete shitter.
The first Fallout game I ever dropped without even finishing. Fuck, I thought Fallout 3 was bad but at least the plot was unambitious enough to remain relatively innofensive.
Every single thing about this game's writing is so fucking contrived, stupid and downright boring that I couldn't even stay invested for the main quest. Combined with the focus on building mechanics that barely every work properly and sidequests being basically nonexistent (and all end up being the same shit where you clear out a building of ghouls, mutants or raiders) and you have the first Fallout game that outright disappoints in every single regard.
Even the map sucks, too much water and navigating the city is a fucking pain thanks to Bethesda's weird '90s level design sensibilities.
Fuck this game, man. This is how it feels to have your favourite franchise die.

I like the shooting mechanics, first time a 3d Fallout game's combat has felt good. And I like the concept of settlements.
You're right about the story though. I don't even understand how the main questline is so fucktarded.
The Institute should have been waaaay more secretive and subtle, and almost like a running background element you don't actually see. No robot encounters until the mid to late game. The goal should have been to instill a united puppet government made up of synths in every major settlement. The key, again, being subtlety. Very few people talking about the Institute, no verified Institute robots running around on the surface.
Railroad is stupid as a "faction". Factions need to have their own longterm goals. Railroad is just a kind of minor anti-faction to the Institute. Should have had a way smaller bit part.
Game needed to focus on BoS vs. Minutemen, with the BoS being classic dicks trying to take some high tech something or other McGuffin from the Minutemen. BoS don't even believe the Institute exists until late game.
Raiders needed to be broken down into smaller, identifiable gangs, and certain gangs should have been able to be talked with.
Goodneighbor should have been "Raider Town", the only settlement where raiders can go to trade and see doctors (seriously, I wanted to see a clinc with a line of interestingly wounded raiders looking for treatment at Goodneighbor). Enforced (with lots of guards) no weapon laws past the main gate (except for poison and hideaways), and you can go inside and talk with raider factions who might otherwise be shooting at you. Maybe even be able to bribe certain gangs you pissed off to remove a shoot on sight attitude.
The minor settlements needed to make some goddamn sense! I hate how in bethesda games it feels like a non-living world since everybody is apparently a retard that doesn't even attempt to solve their own issues before talking to the player for help.

There are sound clips confirming we were going to have the option to challenge Elder Maxson and take over the Brotherhood. Why did they remove this option? What else did they cut that we don't know about? The Minuteman felt incomplete as a faction.

Nope, it was a one time deal with that doctor. He created ONE (1) antidote for a strain that he manipulated and injected himself with. It was not the same as the rest of the test subjects.

>>320184263
I can say with utmost sincerity that I had fun with Fallout 4. I think it could have been much better than it was, mostly through adding more quests with greater depth. However, the art style, the use of vertical space and most importantly the combat system were much improved over Bethesda's previous titles.
The biggest improvement is the practical utilization of every in game object, through the weapon modification and settlement system. Those two additions are far from perfect (I'll even say I was very disappointed with settlement building), but that concept is an innovation on Bethesda's part and is something every game in the genre could be improved by adding.
>>320185273
What about Ingram?
>>320185162
I found it hard not to side with my son really, seemed like the logical thing to do. When he's dead. I can take over the Institute and shape it to whatever suits my ideals anywayassuming Bethesda's shitty writing doesn't prevent any kind of development
I really wish the main factions were more fleshed out
I wish you did more nazi-tier shit for the BoS, like going to The Slog to put every ghoul there on their knees for a bullet to the back of the head.
I wish you did more fucked up shit to maintain routes and friends for the railroad. I think overall they should have been half tied-in with raider gangs. Heavies have to go out and negotiate with them, kill other rival raiders for the original raiders, or straight up go do some dirty raider work like looting a settlement. Big hullabaloo about the morality of what they're doing, if saving synths by siding and compromising with savages like the raiders is worth it in the end.
I want the Minute Men to have had some nation building fluff reminiscent of the American Revolution. I wanted to get Hancock and Garvey and all the local leaders together to sign a constitution. Tons of drunk bickering and stuff. Tons of drinking. Tons of passionate speeches. Every single meeting has half the members trashed while they try to negotiate in a tavern basement. So much drinking that the entire thing has this big great boston-irish alcoholism vibe to it. Also, I wanted more of a quantity-over-quality thing. I wanted some kind of giant minuteman charge at some point. Tons of death and carnage for both sides with the minutemen screaming along in one massive wave.
>>320171029
Did you not get past level 10?
Ghouls are weak as fuck and they become completely immobilized if you remove a leg because bethesda was too lazy to give them a crawling animation

Different guy, but nah Reavers are still pretty fucking difficult. They soak up so much 12ga and when 3 or more show up in a group of ferals you can't take them all without hopping on a car or some shit. Kind of mad though. The first ones you saw in 3 in the Broken steel dlc were deathclaw levels of health and damage. Kind of miss that. Even though I was in winterized T51 armor and level 30 they still had me scared.

>>320171332
No, it's pretty clear in the original game they are severely mutated humans. Sure, they "look" like Zombies they damn sure aren't.
They can't run because of muscle damage and they're extremely weak. But for some reason they can run now and survive after having limbs lost even though they would die of blood loss.
I feel like the institute is ignorant of what they created with synths, but the brotherhood is just plain retarded if they instantly hate something just because it was a synthfucking danse was a synth and he didn't know. no one gave a shit until they found out

Ghouls since the first game have had massive, gaping wounds that do not negatively impact their health in the slightest, somehow, even though they're clearly either located next to major blood vessels or would leave the body completely exposed to infections. The lore surrounding ghouls has never made sense and has never been consistent.

fucking Bethsoft fanboys

Impressive bait 8/10 imo
>>320187515
What exactly is being criticized there? Is it meant to lead people who have never played Fallout 4's main questline more than a fourth of the way through that those Triggermen weren't attacking the PC because of a glitch?
>>320188032
3mb is puny, you should have seen when I converted it at 720p
don't ask me why it's only 250kb though
>>320187065
Pssh you can get 5 of them for free for doing the bar quest then going to the Shamrock drug lab. Spending caps on shit? Are you a faggot?
>>320188069
It's scripted for a conversation. One of the few moments that shit can happen.
>>320188164
you were doing it wrong
30 second 720p webm can be easily under 3mb
>>320188125
how about reading the quote, fag
>>320188176
even in Fallout 3 conversations got interrupted when you shot or whatever the fuck
>>320188289
>in Fallout 3 conversations got interrupted when you shot or whatever the fuck
In Fallout 3 you couldn't shoot until you exited the conversation.
The Triggermen didn't react to the PC throwing something in their direction because they weren't hostile.
>>320188476
>In Fallout 3 you couldn't shoot until you exited the conversation.
Faggot are you deliberately being an idiot?
I'm talking about conversations outside of the focused dialogue, which would be interrupted if a grenade was thrown.
>>320174117
Evil doesnt really exist.
Everyone does what they think is best.
>>320187734
Are you missing the part that Ghouls are mutated that way? Like their genetic structure is modified so that their skin comes off and they can heal from radiation.
It's a pretty big difference to have your DNA code changed to having your arm blown off.
>>320188559
>thrown grenade trigger hostility in Fallout 3
Bullshit. Only after the damage is applied, same as Fallout 4.
>>320171029
On realistic survival mod you just sweep the room with an automatic and they all go down in short order
>>320184047
They didn't even write enough jingoism lines for it, he repeats the same shit like 7 times while you follow him.
>>320188906
You mean the mod that makes your weapon damage even higher than in very easy? Not a point in your favour.
>>320188819
>having your genetic structure modified so that your skin comes off and radiation heals you is much more realistic than having your genetic structure modified so that you can survive a lost limb
No. There are animals that can survive and even regrow lost limbs. There are no animals that can survive with exposed internal organs, or that are healed by radiation.

He has PTSD from the raid on the airport, he didn't think that way when he joined.
>>320183681
It's the Lieutenant's implants and stuff exploding, tearing him apart from the inside
>>320175658
I just got to the Airship.
Yeah, that pretty much sums him up.
>>320188559
>conversations outside of the focused dialogue
There was no conversation outside of focused dialogue in Fallout 3, except between NPCs. Throwing a grenade in Fallout 3 did not stop NPC conversations and did not turn NPCs hostile, until the grenade detonated.
This makes sense from a realism standpoint. When something is randomly tossed at you, you don't immediately assume it's an explosive device and shoot at whoever threw it.

You mean you just hit the quickload key more often until you never get touched.
>>320189252
I don't give a fuck about realism, I'm talking about lore.
We have no idea exactly what the FEV and radiation did to make them.
It's been established Ghouls cannot run and are mutated Humans. The entire point is they are still Humans and not Zombies them getting their arms blown off makes no sense in context to the series.
They are not fast Zombies. They are mutated freaks with degenerative brain disease.
>>320189926
They don't need food
They just eat to eat at that point
Jericho explains this in FO3
>>320169932
He was a weak bitch who jumped into something he couldn't handle.
I enjoyed killing those ghouls in front of him.
I won't lie, a diehard brotherhood drone is a pretty fun way to play.
>>320190243
never quickloaded
only save when I'm getting off
>>320184632
Your mom is a meme lmfao!
>>320171614
no. it never does. thats jewywood bullshit. when some mother fucker is trying to kill you, or in this case trying to EAT YOU, you dont stop and think "golly gee, they are people just like you and me xD"
>using meleee only in a FPS
who are you
why
>>320190375
That's probably because you never die, seeing as you can kill anything instantly with any weapon, to the point that gear progression is meaningless for all but the rarest encounters.
>>320189926
If ghouls can be magically healed by radiation, why is it so ridiculous for them to be magically sustained by it?
Weren't ferals sustained by radiation since the Black Isle days, or was it assumed that they lived off of eating passers-by? If the former, Billy is totally appropriate, and if the latter, ghouls have always been radioactive zombies and AGAIN Billy is totally appropriate.
>>320190294
>Harland was just chowing down on radroach meat and desperately sucking condensation from pipes for the fuck of it
OK.
>>320171029
This, i can kill everything short of beths and queens in 3 shots from the railrifle, but a whole mag doesn't do shit to a mirelurk, even when i hit them in the belly
>>320190649
I do die, but yeah no shit gear progression is meaningless. Doesn't matter anyway because I installed it at level 45 anyway. More fun than wittling away at bulletsponges: the videogame
>>320173586
Don't forget Tactics where you yourself are a recruited tribal and your party members can be anything from ghouls to mutants to motherfucking deathclaws.
>>320191082
Shooting a Mirelurk anywhere but the head is a waste of time and ammunition.
>>320191228
yea, thats the point im making.
assultrons and sentrybots go down easier
>>320173124
>Could you go fetch some tapes for me.
You do understand that fetching those tapes is a lengthy affair that puts you in alot of dangerous locations. They were also if you remember locations in which the Brotherhood Knights got killed and you pulled them out. You honestly cannot see you as a major asset that succeeded where his knights failed giving you some lead way along with the simple fact that Veronica vetted you allowing you to enter the bunker? Or were you just memeing when you said Stellar writing, Obsidian
>>320190698
>totally appropriate
He's too jarringly chipper for someone who had spent two centuries trapped in a nightmarish I Have No Mouth and Must Scream scenario.
>>320191089
I am level 25 and planning my encounters appropriately (if i'm not ambushed) means never spending more than a mag on an enemy. The fact that I have to use my chems and gear wisely means my 'bulletsponge' gameplay is far deeper and more fulfilling than your mindless shootfest.and the self damage multiplier is a weak excuse for balance when most things will kill you instantly on survival anyway.
>>320191557
if it makes you feel better you can just head canon that is all kinds of insane and eats his mother alive and rapes his father to death.
then proceeds to degrade into madness and become a feral.
done and done

I wouldn't really put it that way. He was just locked in a fridge. There was no malevolent machine-god torturing him every moment. Also, he might have been chipper because being miserable for two hundred years got boring.
>>320189605
