Poll: Alien noises in games

[Goatmeat]

What? I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say. If you're refuting that then it's quite hard:

- Ghouls (Feral) are mindless creatures who will attack you as soon as they discover you.
- They will ONLY attack you and it is impossible to make them not attack you (forget the mask for the moment).
- They presumably eat human flesh.
- Their body has begun to decay.
- They have no intelligence (putting on a mask will make them think you are one of them).
- They have a distinctive noise which increases in volume and pitch (slightly) when they discover a human.
- They live underground and shy from the light.
- They are humans whose form has been turned into this when the vast majority of poeple would've died from those events (a shit-ton of rads).

I wasn't trying to be confrontational with the comment. When I read your post I actually thought you were referring to, you know, the general term for "ghoul", which is generally presented as more of a ghost than anything.

But Fallout's ghouls aren't really zombies. They aren't undead, for one. Their bodies haven't really begun to decay, their skin's just kinda messed up, and the living, non-irradiated, can get necrosis as well. As noted above, the feral ghouls only came into play in Fallout 3, probably because Bethesda needed some sort of enemy that can pose a threat but not as much as a super mutant in abandoned subways.

I can see the comparison between Fallout 3's feral ghouls and zombies, if you're just going by how they act during gameplay. I'm not going to get into a discussion about the fiction because the fiction behind it is very dumb. Even dumber than the comment I made that you quoted. Not as dumb as the long post I'd written out about how such discrimination sullies the image of upstanding ghouls everywhere, and that Bethesda spread such hateful propaganda as a smear campaign on ghouls (look what they did to Harold), before I realised only I would find it funny and deleted it. But seriously, if you kill a feral ghoul in Fallout 3, it doesn't count as killing a human. Those cold, cold bastards.

Hangar 18. Man I love that place, only for the song by Megadeth. *Points to avatar.

Is that Vic? It's hard to recognise him when you can't see his chains and the steel plate over his eyes.
