I don't feel like enough people are talking about the fact that the show answered the question, "What makes a ghoul go feral?"

Like, can we talk about that? Ghoulification isn't a life hack to immortality, it's a terminal illness with a fate worse than passing away. It's something that evidently affects them both mentally and physically while they deteriorate, and the only temporary relief is that medicine (was that an inhaled version of Radaway? Imagine the implications of them being dependent on that, holy shit).

We now know that every ghoul is on a timeline to losing their self, eternally victims of a zombie bite they can't hide away from in a radiated world. Anyone can become a ghoul. Anyone can die a ghoul. Anyone can lose their control, their psyche, as a ghoul. And they’re one vial away from it happening.

How do you deal with knowing there's a fate worse being raided or shot out there for you?

fallout tv show ghoul discussion

the only thing i dislike about the show is their retcon of ghoul lore- everything else is a banger i had a great time but the lore changing the ghouls baffles me, as it retcons and changes literally every other game in the franchise. its funny, im not mad about it, im ok with the show having different lore than the games. i just hope they make it clear that its an AU kind of thing haha mainly because if someone gets introduced to the series from the show, and they go off to play the games, theyre going to be confused. so, what are the changes? well-

in fo3, theres an entire side mission involving the underworld, where the ghouls there really hammer in that the rumors like; that they regen and so can only be killed by headshots, that they eat people, that they can go feral at any point, and that they're zombies.

all of this is just propaganda spread by the brotherhood and bigots to justify murder and genocide.

none of it is true. they bleed and die like anyone else. but in the show, these things are not rumors, and they are completely true. cooper constantly has to take this drug from a vial that prevents him from going feral. theres no explanation on where this medicine came from, who makes it, whats its made out of, etc.

so, while in the game, turning feral is unknown, seemingly at random (theories range from genetics, lack of socialization, insanity, radiation exposure, and time) and ghouls dont just- randomly turn feral. but in the show its enevitable and therefore the hate towards them is justified. the only things that are special about them is that they; age much, much slower than non-ghouls, that they can heal faster using radiation. (to my knowlege, they still need to be patched up. they do not just regen. they can still get shot to death, or maimed. they just heal a little faster.) and they need more potent drugs, as it doesnt affect them as strongly (mentioned in fo3 by some ghouls in a subway) the changes made in the show heavily changes the stories of a few characters and places in the entire series.

for fo3: changes the entire underworld. these ghouls cannot leave this place. if they do, they're shot and killed immediately by the brotherhood nearby. they discuss how they're discriminated against. in the fo3 dlc, point lookout, the ghoul there presumably hasnt left the manor he lives in for well over 200 years. he wouldnt have access to these vials. tenpenny tower. their ban on ghouls would be justified then. the entire narrative involving the water purifier and putting the serum in that will kill off all mutants. with the changes the show makes, the decision whether or not you do this has no weight and eradicating mutants becomes justified. for fallout new vegas: dean domino. he hasn't left the Sierra Madre in over 200 years. he wouldnt have access to these vials either and would have probably gone feral a long time ago. for fallout 4: diamond city. diamond city's ban on ghouls wouldnt be an issue anymore. since in the show, ghouls cant die aside from headshots, the ghouls being thrown out into the wastes to the elements wouldn't really be as heavy of an issue.

(i cannot comment for fallout 1 and 2, as i am not as knowledgable about the ghouls in those two games. feel free to add on in reblogs if you know more about them than i do)

i love the show, i think its awesome. im basically consuming it now with the idea that its canon -within its own story and lore- and is separate from the game itself. cooper is a badass and the changes work for the show itself, not so much the entire series. which is fine in my eyes.

List of New Vegas references in the Fallout show that I currently know of

The Sunset Sasparilla logo shows up a couple times

Robert House makes an appearance at a Vault-Tec meeting

Frederick Sinclair, founder of the Sierre Madre, appears as a representative of Big MT

Julia Masters, who was first mentioned in New Vegas, appears as a representative of REPCONN, which I think also first appeared in New Vegas

Literal New Vegas shows up

Secruritrons in the credits of final episode

Edit: The Tops and the Lucky 38 are shown in the end credit sequence, don’t remember catching the other ones

I may have missed some but you can see why I doubt they retconned New Vegas when they take so much from the game

I watched the Fallout Show

It was good.

Certainly better than I was expecting. The lore-stuff was a bit all over the place. It's plausible for the Enclave to still be around. I guess that villain reveal at the end does make sense in hindsight with the rest of the games. I liked the cyclops guy more than I thought I would. I liked how culty the BoS was, as they should be. I liked the gulpers too and how they came back around, it initially didn't click with me at first that it was a gulper, I thought it was like a centaur or something at first. The effects were great; practical, CGI, or otherwise. It's cool they got the original VA for the Mr. Handies to play an in-universe actor for Mr. Handy. I wish we could've heard more from the east coast, but maybe that'll be later on; I actually like the Minutemen, there was one instance where it had me smiling and hopeful, but I'm also from New England so I might be biased.

EDIT: I am being told that he is not the original VA. I heard somewhere that he was, and I took that at face value without fact-checking.

Of Daughters and Bonding - The Ghoul & Lucy MacLean

Fandom: Fallout TV Show

Characters: Lucy MacLean, The Ghoul (Cooper Howard)

Relationships: Platonic, friendship, father daughter

Summary: “What’s that grin fer?”

“I knew there was good in you. I mean… I really really really doubted it, but no one is completely bad.” She stood up, collecting her belongings with a spring to her steps. “Thanks.”

Now travelling companions, the Ghoul and Lucy bond as she reminds him of his daughter...

Warning: Under the cut there are major spoilers for the Fallout tv show. Please use caution when reading 🖤 this is set after s.1!

Tag list: @nowandthane @fizzyxcustard

Please let me know if you want to be added or removed from my tag list :3

His daughter would think him a monster.

He distorted his own mirrored image by thrusting his cupped hands into the small puddle of water. Slurping loudly, he pretended not to be listening to Lucy’s rambling. He was though. But his mind was also very distracted by other fears…

Other fears than the Brotherhood having Cold Fusion: unending Power both through electricity and control over electricity. People in the Wasteland wanted – no, needed power. With power comes food, water, shelter... And with people wanting it, the Brotherhood can take control of people. As if they didn’t already. Anywhere they went, they seized everything in the name of their so called brotherhood.

Lucy thought this was a pretty good thing but-

"Ain't nothin' good gonna come off of the Brotherhood in charge." The Ghoul stood up with a groan, wiping his mouth dry with his sleeve.

"Maximus is a good guy."

He began walking with a roll of his eyes, the girl following him quickly. "A couple good guys don't stop all the bad."

Lucy had wanted to keep arguing, to keep defending those knights that seemed to be nice and helpful to the people from what she had seen so far... but that was just it, wasn't it? She'd only really met Maximus, and briefly that Thaddeus guy. She didn't actually know what the Brotherhood was. Her silence gave that much away. He smirked a bit, but didn’t turn his head to check on her. That might make her keep talking.

But that wasn't what had silenced her. It was the Ghoul's tone. Lucy had travelled with the man for quite some time before their current deal of companionship, and now it had been a couple of days. As mysterious as he tried to be, he really wasn’t. It was easy to read him. When he meant something deeper, it was obvious in his voice. There was an intelligence behind all that gun wielding aggression. He knew things. And it was obvious to Lucy.

…

"Were you speaking from experience?"

Cooper offered her one confused look, then went back to his own things.

“Earlier when you said those things about the Brotherhood and ‘one good thing’… Were you speaking from experience?”

The Ghoul looked up at her from where he was setting up camp. Setting up camp really only meant tossing his bag down and telling CX404 to go hunt for her own food. But he'd gotten comfortable resting against a boulder, seconds away from tilting his hat to pretend to go to sleep...

The Ghoul never slept. Lucy wondered if that was a Ghoul thing...

"Mind yer own damn business, little lady. Or you'll get into trouble I can't save ya from."

Lucy lifted her chin at those words. "Well, I'd argue I've proven I can handle myself, thank you!"

"When?"

Lucy stayed quiet for a bit. "I've survived up here for a week."

The Ghoul laughed at that, muttering out a ‘surviving?’ to himself.

Much to Lucy’s relief, though, he rested back and tilted his head to "go to sleep". Miffed, Lucy laid down on her spot in the dirt, her bag for a pillow. They’d only been travelling for a little over three days. The trauma of finding out about her father’s deeds, and her mother… well, it was present. But she was keeping it suppressed. It wasn’t a healthy approach to it, but what else was she supposed to do? Have a breakdown in the middle of the Wasteland? Prove to this Ghoul that she couldn’t handle the surface world? Find a therapist?

Were there therapists up here…?

Ugh… She hated the surface.

....

Lucy awoke with a start in the middle of the night to a loud BANG.

Scrambling up to a sitting position, she grabbed her syringe pistol and aimed it at the sound. The darkness of the night made it all even more disorienting, not to mention CX404 was barking like crazy next to her.

Slowly, though, she came to her senses. An explosion somewhere far away. A large cloud burning orange filled the sky, illuminating Lucy, the dog and the Ghoul with an eerie light.

"Ain't nowhere near us," the Ghoul said out loud. If Lucy didn't know better, it sounded almost like he was trying to calm her down.

Slowly, she lowered her pistol. The orange cloud was illuminating their surroundings just enough for her to be able to tell that the Ghoul hadn't moved from his boulder. But he was looking up at the sky too, just like her. It was, briefly, like a sunset. But it wasn’t quite as soothing as one.

Her pip boy began to peak, alerting her to radiation.

Great.

Slowly, she lifted her thumb up to the cloud-

"What're ya doin'?"

Lucy didn't notice the Ghoul snapping his gaze over to her like he'd just seen a Feral sneak up on them. He stared whilst the light slowly dimmed around them again…

"Just something my dad taught me. I think we're good." With that, she smiled at him before the darkness completely encompassed them again, then laid back down. She was expecting the Ghoul to ask more questions about her action, but instead:

"'S what I said," the Ghoul muttered under his breath... but he was still staring at where he'd last seen her.

Damn... that brought back memories...

...

"Daddy? Is it mine or your thumb?"

With a start, Coop awoke from the nightmare. Didn't matter how many centuries had passed. That always returned to him in his deepest, darkest nightmares. The boom. The power of the aftershock. The strange smell in the air. The sight of the entire city crumbling…

And his poor daughter, clinging to him: her lifeline. The one person she thought would keep her safe no matter what. The one person who should keep her safe from anything and everything…

He stopped his memories before they could get worse. Because worse they got. He instead tried to bring himself back to present times: pain, fear of turning Feral, MacLean…

Lucy.

He watched her sleep, innocently with her mouth slightly ajar. His daughter used to look like that sleeping too, hell… she even had her mouth slightly ajar. Especially when she fell asleep in the backseat of his car, all snug and strapped in safely…

Would his daughter have become like Lucy? Would she have tried to beat this ugly world with kindness? Like she used to do as a child?

Or... had his daughter become that? Had he missed her entire life? Because…

No- Don’t bring back those memories…

What sort of a father could he be now anyway? He was a Ghoul. Slightly more smooth skinned than others, thanks to all those years of cutting at him… but still a Ghoul. A monster.*

Shit…

“Are you okay?”

The Ghoul snapped out of it.

Dammit.

He’d not managed to shake the memories after all. Lucy had awoken to find him staring at her, wordlessly.

“Why wouldn’t I be, sunshine?”

Lucy watched him with that sympathy no one in the Wasteland had. Especially not for a Ghoul.

He scowled at it, almost scoffing, as he stood up and grabbed his bag. CX404 sniffed at his hand. He offered her a pat on the head.

“We should get a move on.”

“You said…” Lucy didn’t move to get packed. Instead, she continued to watch him with that goddamned sympathetic look in her eyes.

There were no therapists in the Wasteland.

“You said you had a family? That my dad might know where they are?”

Coop bit down hard as he eyed Lucy with harsh eyes. He desperately tried to warn her off from trying to talk about this. Not because he’d lash out though. But because he’d not be able to keep his emotions at bay.

“Maybe.”

“Do you have kids?”

Coop stared at her. Was she telepathic? No. that’s not something they did to Vault dwellers, right? Or..? “What’s it to ya?”

“Maybe this is going to sound crazy but… Sometimes, I feel like you do this thing only a dad would do. Like… Calm me down when I’m not even aware I’m freaking out. Just with a couple of words that would… that would be enough to calm a child down that depended on you. Like last night.”

What had he done last night?

“I just mean…” Lucy sighed, something in Cooper’s silence making her uncomfortable. Good. Maybe she’d stop talking about this. “If you have kids, I’ll try and help you find them. That’s the deal, right? We’re working together because our targets are in the same location. But I can help more if you need it.”

That… was the opposite of what Coop thought she’d ever say to him. “I’m sorry, ain’t I the one that sold ya fer drugs?”

“Yeah,” Lucy agreed with a nod, “but I’m sorta starting to get that this is what you have to do to survive in this world.”

“So yer gonna trust me now? Then ya ain’t learned nothin’.”

Lucy shrugged. “And…” She glanced down at her hands. She had this awful habit of picking at her nails. For someone who had smooth skin, she was awfully intent on making sure it wasn’t smooth.

He’d never noticed her finger was back. Though it wasn’t hers. Necrotic. Rotting.

Curious.

“My dad did horrible things just to get to my brother and I so… I get it. I guess. I don’t condone it. But I get it.”

Coop didn’t like that. He couldn’t exactly point out why, not consciously, but he knew he got a strange taste in his mouth from those words, even if she hadn’t meant anything bad by them. “Now, listen to me, little lady.” He pointed a gloved finger down at her, stern, serious: “There do be a whole lotta shit I’d do fer my little girl. But it don’t involve blowing up an entire civilisation jus’ ‘cause I ain’t getting my way, or whatever the hell his problem was. I was divorced. It’s ‘bout talkin’. Not…” Well, could he really say his divorce had been like others’? Not really. So he couldn’t really preach on that end. “I wouldn’t kill innocents. I’d kill a whole lotta bad people, though. Your dad is just trash, got it? Don’t be deserving yer kindess no more.”

Lucy stared at Cooper after those words.

“What’s that grin fer?”

“I knew there was good in you. I mean… I really really really doubted it, but no one is completely bad.” She stood up, collecting her belongings with a spring to her steps. “Thanks.”

Cooper stared at her with narrowed eyes. “Did ya hear anythin’ I jus’ said?”

“Yeah, I did.” Lucy beamed up at him. It almost annoyed him. Almost. “My dad’s an asshole. It’s not normal. I kinda… needed to hear that, in all honesty. It makes going after him a little easier. And you are nicer than you let on.”

“I ain’t nice.”

“Yes you are,” Lucy said with a wide smile. “So come on, big guy. We’ve got a lot of ground to cover today.”

She began walking, but Cooper was quick to reach out and stop her. He wasn’t done with this conversation. “I’m sorry I sold ya.”

Lucy offered him a gentle look. “I know.”

With that, Lucy started walking. Cooper waved for CX404 to follow along, and walked after Lucy. It was silent, which was when Cooper’s mind always began to do that damn thinking of his. Lucy was gentle, truly. And if such a gentle soul, someone like his own daughter’s, could accept Cooper for what he’d become…

Maybe his daughter wouldn’t think him a monster after all.

People are saying that the TV show actually already made New Vegas non canon and I’m honestly okay with that since that means every Bethesda fallout entry is not canon to Obsidian’s fallout universe. It does t matter how many times Bethesda broke the lore of fallout for their stories, since they’re no longer canon to Obsidian’s fallout games.

Brotherhood of losers!!!

MAXIMUS DANE THADDEUS <3

Knight Titus and the Cleric can go away though :/

Also friendship ended with knight uniform! TV Squire outfit is my best friend now! 🤝 (I still love that goofy orange jumpsuit)

[ID: a digital cartoon style drawing. Squire Maximus, Aspirant Dane and Squire Thaddeus from the fallout TV show are drawn left to right in that order. Maximus is a black man with very short black curly hair. He is facing slight to the left and is holding a 10mm pistol in both hands lowered, he is wearing the TV squire uniform. He is smiling. Dane is a white non binary person with short black hair with faded sides. They are pictured in the centre of the image, they are wearing the brotherhood fatigues from the show, they are flexing with both arms raised. They are grinning broadly, their 10mm pistol is holstered on their right hip. Thaddeus is a white man with short dirty blonde hair and a thin moustache. He is pictured in the top right. He is wearing the tv squire outfit. He has a bloodied arrow through his neck like in episode 7. His expression is very confused and he has cartoon question marks to the right of him. Both is his hands are raised towards the arrow. His gloves are tucked into his belt. His 10mm pistol is holdered on his right hip. The background of the image is dull blue-green shades in broad paint strokes. There is text above Dane “Dorks! especially him” all navy blue hand written, dorks is the larger text, next to ‘him’ is an arrow pointing to Thaddeus. In the bottom left corner is the artist signature “typos & tea ‘24 :)” in hot pink. End ID]

the way the fallout show is just giving me literally everything i ever wanted from the franchise and every hope i had for the show itself is insane. like you have the standard naive vault dweller to grizzled traumatized badass character progression from the games (also female protagonist!), but she still tries to stay a good person, which is both just awesome to watch and how i generally played my characters. and unlike the games, its actually followed through with, cause you dont have to limit the available range of story choices to accommodate different playstyles while still keeping to the same basic plot. and the authenticity and the feel and the visuals and the lore hgrtou

dont mind me ive just been waiting for this for literal years of my life

While I’m posting on fallout. Here’s my theory on what happened to Vegas (if it is actually abandoned like it is implied in the credits)

I think NV ended in a House victory. It would make little sense to set up the king of Vegas in the last episode of the show and then never see him again. So, House takes the dam, Vegas is powered, the NCR loses and the Legion is scattered. What happens then?

Well, House himself said that Vegas runs on the NCR’s caps. He needs the NCR’s money to keep his economy from collapsing. After all, it’s a society built on entertainment, and someone has to pay the families.

Well, if a weakened and already collapsing NCR loses the dam and then shady sands is nuked not long after? I cannot imagine that the NCR would be sticking around Vegas for long. After a last ditch attempt to take the city (hence the crashed vertibird) the NCR pulls out entirely, taking their caps with them.

With no stable supply of gamblers to entertain and fun his enterprise, it would not be long before Vegas’ economy collapses as well. Without the NCR the roads get even more dangerous. Less people are traveling, and no money is flowing. Without caps, the families running the casinos would likely turn on each other, returning to the raider tribes they once were. A second battle for New Vegas is fought until all living things are expelled from the city.

In season 2, I would guess we see a city run by robots. A forlorn Mr. House sits in his tower looking over the bright gem of the wasteland he once ruled. New Vegas is bruised, battered, but to yet beaten entirely. House will have a plan to bring the money back.

After all, the House always wins

Fallout TV show spoilers below, I just have a question for those who might know more than I do

Ok can someone, without spoiling the show, explain to me the weird addition of ghouls and the drug dependency? Especially with it preventing them from turning feral? Was this a thing before or is this introduced just for the show

Because from playing the games, I thought ghouls didn't know what caused them to turn feral, that it happened seemingly at random or from the bombs, etc. and that them turning feral at any point was kinda just a rumor.

Also, isn't it a thing from fo3, that ghouls need more potent drugs for it to be able to affect them? Since when was every single ghoul ever an addict?

Maybe California coast ghouls are just built different idk

i'm watching fallout and when titus had maximus clean his codplate and then maximus went to put it back on and titus grabbed him and held him there, staring him in the face, i was like oh hell yeah, gay?? they gave us a nonbinary person are they also doing the queer thing?? but then titus turned out to be a snivelly little fuck head and that was an act of hetero male dominance or something. i'm still thinking ab it though. the inherent eroticism of putting someone else's armor on them is so good... i hope this comes up again, i'm only on ep 2. but i seriously doubt it.
