On one hand, a Vault dveller might be the first role, that the californian softie might fit perfectly.
On the other hand, that is not a fucking ghoul. Ghouls are monstrocities kept alive only by the same ammount of insane mutations, that is also killing them.

@LukeAlmighty isn't that just what ghouls look like in fo4?
@beardalaxy
One shit is not a justification for another one.
@LukeAlmighty oh yeah i'm not saying that lol, but there's no way they would use the pre-Bethesda ghoul design.
@beardalaxy
Not sure what you call it, but it is a sigh of a death for the franchise. These people who change the core of a franchise then wonder, why the new stuff has 0 pull.
@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty Anytime something is retconned it is assumed to be either "lore rot" or political correctness.
@LukeAlmighty ah, so it is more a symptom of lore rot than anything. i looked into the tree guy and he's in fo1 and fo2 as well apparently which is interesting.
i wonder if anyone has coined that term yet... lore rot. i like it. it describes what has happened to a *lot* of franchises when they have so much lore that they no longer wish to keep track of it anymore, either changing it entirely or going with something much more simple. it might even be a result of too many conflicting voices that want to take things in their own directions. elder scrolls, fallout, zelda, and even fucking star fox are all good examples of this. i'm sure there are many more outside of games too, like star wars.
