Why does the ghoul have smooth skin?

Unrealistic beauty standards is what it is

[-] axont@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

Um pardon me but Harold is canonically an FEV mutant, NOT a ghoul nerd

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

In Fallout 1 and 2 the nature of ghouls was a bit more vague and it was implied that they were all exposed to small concentrations of aerosolized FEV, likewise with deathclaws and radscorpions and such

Bethesda kinda put that by the wayside which tbh is fine, it's supposed to be 1950s super science after all

[-] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 33 points 5 months ago

because it's bethesda fallout not black isle/obsidian fallout

[-] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 32 points 5 months ago

I'm pretty sure a few ghouls call humans "smoothskins" in 3 & 4

[-] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 32 points 5 months ago

they kept the fantasy slur from the lore, but don't have the integrity to enforce the lore

[-] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 31 points 5 months ago

Bethesda hates lore, oblivion should have had jungles!

Just hear me out, ok? What if we had a god machine and in process of reformatting reality to put ourselves onto the throne of everything which don't require more than one day of travel by boat cause we're apparently allergic to water some oopsies happened? Would that be ok or not ok? Nobody would know anyway?

God I love stupid TES lore

[-] Poison_Ivy@hexbear.net 15 points 5 months ago

One of the ghouls did refer to Lucy as a “Smooth-y” when he asked Coop who she was

There arent a lot of ghoul characters besides Cooper and a few background characters

true true, won't catch me arguing that todd has much respect for the older entries

[-] Poison_Ivy@hexbear.net 31 points 5 months ago

He moisturized regularly AS ALL OF YOU SHOULD BE DOING RIGHT NOW

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 30 points 5 months ago

Bethesda are and remain cowards.

[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

He wants to get in Sir Mix Alot's Benz?

[-] Bay_of_Piggies@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago

He's an especially good looking Ghoul, most of the other ghouls have skin falling off.

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 4 points 5 months ago

Spoilers for the show

spoilerI'm assuming he's kept alive and relatively healthy by all the drugs he has to buy from those weirdos in episode 3 or 4
