Ghouls

(1/4) > >>

Aricvomit:
ok well, here goes. i. hate. ghouls. its not like i dont have a reason though, they have proved time and time again to be the bane of my existence, finally got like 10k from a merchant trip, 1 square away from base, 140 outdoors, got 107 hp and 10 ap. i get dropped in with the crazies, boom head shot -2 from 107hp in one shot before i could even get out of range. soo i pick up my head, keep on movin. try to go sell some more shit some where else, dropped into crazies and ants, groin shot for 50 after i moved 20 hexes away in two rounds. the only thing i can keep thinking to myself is, man i really hate ghouls, its as if they have some monster perception, i dont understand it, arent they essentially rotting corpses??!! i think its a safe bet to assume 90% of ghouls would have horrible freakin eyesight due to their eyes  either not being there or rotting. ugh, goddamn ghouls.

You should learn a bit more about the world of Fallout. ;)
Yes, ghouls have amazingly high perception, that's why they mostly prefer rifles for sniping.

Also, no they aren't just rotten corpses...

gordulan:
they're pretty much humans who survived a masive load of radiation.

Aricvomit:
yeah but i guess what im saying is it doesnt make sense that they would have good perception, mostly due to the fact that their bodies are rotting, not getting better. so i really dont see how they could even approach normal stats, agility perception and strength should all be affected by decay and thats exactly what a ghoul does. they are literally falling apart.

also i dont really see how they would have better perception then humans considering that this is based on eyesight and what you take from it, the better your eyesight the more you would observe. i think giving ghouls a higher perception then humans is an oversight.

They aren't falling apart. It's just their skin which is burnt.
Also, Perception determines not only the ability to see something. Their biology changed due to the radiation.
The high perception for ghouls is not an oversight, it's intended to be so. Even in FO1/2 their perception was high.
