Deathclaw makes no sense for several reasons (e.g. unable to communicate, use weapons, etc.) and being a super mutant would be a rather strange concept as well (e.g. fitting through doors, suddenly everyone’s ok with a super mutant walking around?). While I don’t think the option to start off as a ghoul fits in with how Fallout typically operate, I think a better idea would be to allow for ghoulification to be an option in some quest/storyline later on in the game, which would still allow people the choice to be one if they so desired. Personally, I’d be much more happy if they were focus on enhancing the character creation for human characters.

I think being a ghoul could be more interesting for people who are more interested in being an outcast or minority amongst the humans, as opposed to being afraid of radiation. Feral ghouls tend not to attack their more fortunate brethren either and you wonder if this could be made use of.

Couldn’t have put it better myself? xD

Build alliances, take over plots of land, procure places of importance to help your people grow and make your enemies suffer. It does need a more survival impact too. Diseases would be nice. but also your actions need to have a bigger impact on the world or an impact at all not just people talking about it. we need consequences and rewards. more people to make friends with, a better bartering system, regenerating loot stashes and more plants to make crafting a bigger option. like in skyrim the ability to mine and forge your own weapons not just blades but guns too. Put a little bit of Hearthfire in.

this isnt actually true. Look at fallout tactics. in multiplayer you were able to create your own character from a series of races which were Human, Ghoul, Super Mutant, Deathclaw (which could talk), and Robots (mostlikely meaning Androids if they game does take place in Boston). Meanwhile there could be new races in boston unheard of throughout the rest of the wasteland such as the Mutant Crocodiles from Fallout Tactics 2 that were set to appear before it was cancelled. and one thing many of the games have in common are the Aliens, maybe we’ll finally get more backstory on them.

But that’s just me. I wouldn’t knock it if they wanted to go that route, but I probably wouldn’t make use of it.

Goul or Super Mutant would be alright, but still, even that would be a bit off the wall. It would take away the human element and makes the character much less relatable. Sticking to a human but being able to choose factions, NCR, Brotherhood, Raider, the storylines main antagonist group, or the main protagonist group, or just a “lone wanderer”.
