Favorite Fallout Race

BOS13

First time out of the vault
What race in Fallout is your favorite? Personally I like the ghouls because they are always happy even though they got totally screwed over. Normally I think something is wrong with people who are always happy but the ghouls somehow always persevere and put the best face on things. I know the title sounds kind of racist but its just what you like about the various races.
 
I like the ghouls quite a bit too (at least more than the silly super-mutants and deathclaws, anyway), but I think you are wrong in that they are always happy. Remember lenny (I think that was the name) in Gecko, for example? But you are right in that they don't complain much. They don't seem to bother other people much either. They just kind of mind their own business. They impress in that regard. :)
 
And I think Harold's done lots of work in turning ghouls into the players' favourite race, though he is not technically a ghoul himself(say, "Harold is, Harold.") :D
 
I heavily hate ghouls. They're freaks for Jebus' sake... I mean: LOOK AT THEM :)
Actually I was madly in love with a she-ghoul and she rejected me, so now I'm killing every ghoul I see. Except Harold... coz he's funny.
I'll just stick to midgets for the coolest "race" in Fallout. I would love to have a midget in my party, they're just so damn l33t :lol:
 
Dogs... I love having a dog for an NPC. I'm not a happy gamer when I don't have a dog in my team. I'm reluctant to shoot a dog. And when I do, I shoot them in the head and tell myself he didn't suffer...

Wish I were a dog in Fallout... :|
 
Dogs and humans. Ghouls seem a little to mopey with the exception of Harold. Mutants just get in my way way too often, it's better just to annihilate them.
 
Ghouls dont complain "Ghouls seem a little to mopey " (Forgot the quotey deeley) Lenny doesn't really complain and Harold isn't technically a ghoul. They also know what it is like to be descriminated against so they are very tolerant and friendly to everyone. Also, can midgets really be considered a race? Thier still humans, just different in hieght.
 
Set never really did anything bad. He made sure his people were fed and defended. What did Set ever do to you? He even had the Vault Dweller kill the mutants to defend his ghouls.

You're right, hence:

When Set gives you the quest to go and kill the mutants at the watershed, you get the option to ask: "What about the ghouls?" Set replies something in the lines of "If my ghouls can't handle a normie, they don't deserve to live."
So he WANTS ghouls to kill normals; wouldn't that be considdered evil?
 
Set is a really nice fellow.

Set said:
There'd better be a killer reason for standin' in my shadow. Does 'next on the menu' ring a bell for ya . . . normie.

The exact quote, clercqer, is: "Avoid my ghouls, if you like your skin on. Any of mine that can't stop a normie deserve last rest. Get by as you need."
 
What Set was doing was what he thought was in the best interest of his people. He was trying to help them survive. Anyhoo, we've gotten off topic. Favorite fallout race, not "was Set an asshole".
 
Off-topic? Nah.

How is it off-topic? Much of the discussion has been as to whether the ghouls are generally tolerant and level-headed or not, and in that regard I see a discussion of Set's behavior very relevant (as an example that all ghouls weren't just friendly either).
 
I like the human race..... :roll:

I mean who is responsible for the pain and death of the Great War anyway? humans........directly

The humans totally fucked up the world. How does that count in their favor?
 
It's not like the ghouls weren't previously also humans. And they are all of the generation that was alive in 2077, so some of them might actually have taken part in fucking it up.

Ghouls LOOK like the asshole of the world, Ghouls SMELL like the asshole of the world, so Ghouls ARE the asshole of the world.
I say: shoot every ghoul on sight. Like in Vault City

Yeah, but the Vault City inhabitants are also real ass-holes... so you've got the problem that by shooting every ghoul on sight, you'd be doing them a favor... and we wouldn't want that, now do we? :P
