Playing as a Ghoul (with customizable design and even skin texture) is an endgame experience, as the related quest only starts at level 50. Ghouls will have 'dozens of alternate ways' to specialize their character, according to the developers.

To begin with, they are not only immune to radiation; it actually heals them. If your character is hurt, standing on top of some radioactive material will start healing them. Moreover, once fully healed, the excess radiation will build up into a new resource called Glow. Depending on how the player character is specialized, Glow can provide various effects. Ghouls can also utilize 32 exclusive perk cards on top of those already available for human characters, providing great variety when it comes to character progression.

Yeah, and it's not that I think Fallout is bad, it's just...I think it feels too cartoonish? Like, people are supposed to be struggling, but despite the post-apocalyptic setting, each faction has their own little kingdom and seems to be doing alright. Medicine and stim packs abound, and nobody is really living on the knife's edge.

And while that's at least partly by design (supposed to be satirical sometimes), it doesn't feel completely satirical, like Saints Row, or completely serious, like the Metro series. It's caught somewhere in the middle, and I think that's what doesn't appeal to me; I want it to be silly or not silly, and it rides that line in a way I don't like.

One man's trash. That's what I love about Fallout. 🤣
