Obshitian adds 'ghost people' to the Fallout universe

[Admiral jimbob]

However retarded it is, ghosts in the Fallout universe are not exactly new. There was a ghost in Fallout 2 and in Tactics.

Well, if obsidian's idea of 'going back to the roots' is taking the most retarded lulz from F2 then...

Wasteland has plenty of ridiculous "lulz" that put Fallout 2 to shame. Face it, the (spiritual) series has been ridiculous from the beginning.

Obsidian, as always, are just reta... Oh wait!

Interplay just added so much depth to Fallout universe! It's so much more alive now! Thank you Black Isle!!!

 

[Radisshu]

They're not ghosts, assholes, they're just called ghost people.

And that makes it okay.

Wasn't it the "ghost" town, where people just left spooky crap outside and lived in a cave underneath?

Did I say so? It's just that the Fallout "lore" is rather retarded since the F2, so this is not something I would consider new or surprising.

Let's take a trip back into sweet 2007-2008

Codex: "OMG there is a psycho who is obsessed with drinking blood in F3 - that means that's a fantasy vampire in my Fallout! Rape! Rape! Rape!"

And now to the future!

"These aren't ghosts! They are ghost people! They are some kind of mutants that appeared out of an ass 200 of years after there was some radiation which isn't there anymore! See it all makes sense"

There's also one in Sulik's primitive tribe who haunts the tribe's shaman, added pack in by the Restoration Pack.

 

[Radisshu]

Plus Fallout 2 had that elder that sent you dream messages. Not that F2's shortcomings excuse over the top silliness in later titles.

"These aren't ghosts! They are ghost people! They are some kind of mutants that appeared out of an ass 200 of years after there was some radiation which isn't there anymore! See it all makes sense"

They are mutants who appeared due to the setting, in which mutants tend to form due to radiation, who someone then decided to call Ghost People despite them not actually being ghosts. Kind of like how Ghouls are not undead, and Centaurs aren't actually centaurs. But no, let's go "DERP THEY R CALLED GHOSTS SO THEY R TEH UNDEAD!!"" Wait, am I arguing with Skyway?

Oh, that's right, that ghost.

Well, maybe they are shadows of the people that fell to the atom bombs, you know, flash so bright only shadow remains, etc etc.

(No, I'm not serious. Ghosts are a crap idea)

I spotted one, SimpleComplexity.

Forget it, Radisshu. It's Codextown.

This doesn't exactly sell them to me, though.

They are very mysterious, they don't talk and have glowing eyes.

 

[Carlos' Bitch1]

They can add in a hero named Bat Shit for all I care, just make their games on a decent engine with decent combat mechanics.

Yeah, they still kind of sound like shit (or like something from Wasteland), but the entire ghost discussion is retarded.

 

[Pika-Cthulhu]

(Devils Advocate) If it is a ghost, then it is dumbfuck. The ghost in Fo2 was there because she had her grave disturbed and her locket stolen (Thinking about it, Im not sure if her grave was disturbed, but the Punk found it in the ruined building which summoned the ghost), granted, it was the den, and perhaps a collective Jet trip coupled with swamp vapors made the hallucination real for the PC and the Punk that did the thieving, but it was one instance of a ghost. If that were the case, then they may as well add the crashed space pod with phaser, solar scorcher, the Vault chip event (LOLOLOL Oblivion gate!!!!), the Gatekeeper and Holy Grail expedition, the Tin man, the Whale and the flowerpot (or perhaps another novelty from Hitchhikers guide, perhaps 42 mice?), the spammer (could retool it to the Rabid dumbfuck Beth fans and the Fallout fan) and any number of special encounters, and if that is not enough, During a hack in some Poseidon computer you can have a dialogue with an Enclave trooper, Film a porn movie, or merely be the fluffer (YAY MINIGAMES!!!), or any other number of dumbfuck ideas they could lift from the Fallout (eugh I fucking HATE this word but its how they will see it) 'franchise'. That is _IF_ that is a ghost, and there will be more than that one NPC as a ghost.

My interpretation of that picture alone, A display via hologram in place of a statue, perhaps it serves as a town information centre, or a guide, or it strips naked and Tubgirls a Fountain when you toss in a [strike]penny[/strike] cap. The people that live there may be paranoid of outsiders and program the hologram to scare the fuck out of strangers thinking it as a ghost. As the original quote has no discernable source (I dont trawl the Obsidian/Bethshit forums so it very may well be a known quote from any number of superderptacular devs) I have to judge on that image alone. This is not an apologist viewpoint, merely a Devils advocate to the Kneejerk reactions on both sides (ie, ZOMG GHOST FULL DERP AUTO MODE ENGAGED, and ZOMG THEY HAD GHOST IN FALLOUT WHY IT CANT BEE!!!!)

More legitimate information before we go into full meltdown and break out the pitchforks and angry chairs please.

Edit: Fractured memory synapse delay, added bit about perhaps not grave robbery but just plain old finders keepers.

 

[Admiral jimbob]

Yeah, they still kind of sound like shit

SEE? YOU ADMIT IT'S SHIT! YOU ADMIT YOUR BELOVED OBSHITIAN CAN'T PRODUCE ANYTHING THAT'S NOT RETARDED! NEW ENEMAS IS NOTHING BUT TRANNY SUPERMUTANTS WAVING CLOUD'S SWORD WHILE GLITCHING THROUGH THE GROUND AND BEING A GHOST AND YOU ADMIT IT!!! WHERE IS YOUR AVELLONE NOW

[Lumpy]

This thread resembles a Daily Mail article.

 

[Jools]

I'm not giving Avellone a rimjob, but I'd totally munch that "ghost" in the screenshot.

Anyway, I'm grabbing popcorn as I watch this new movie "Obsidian, incline and decline", going on here on the codex.

 

[SoupNazi]

I thought this DLC was developed by Bethesda anyway?

 

[commie]

1. That hologram is obviously not one of the "ghost people", as they are described as having glowing eyes and wearing Hazmat suits.

2. They're probably some kind of mutant, which fits into the Fallout setting. OH WAIT THEY'RE CALLED GHOST PEOPLE THAT MEANS THEY'RE GHOSTS LOL AVELLOBSIDIOLOLIAN ADDED GHOSTS WTF FFFFUUU CREATURES WITH SUPERNATURAL NAMES DON'T FIT IN THE FALLOUT SETTING

EDIT: In short, Codex, stop acting stupid plz

This..FFS what's with the total retardation on the Codex lately, raging at every fucking thing without even pausing to think?

Besides there was a REAL ghost in Fallout 2, and yet I don't see you fuckers here tearing down Fallout 2 as the biggest piece of crap on the planet cause of that!

 

[Chateaubryan]

Good thing I stopped playing System Shock 2 because there were ghosts in it.

Yes, there was a ghost in FO2.

But now there are radiated mutant ghost people. If you can't see the difference...

Radiated mutants called Ghost People = not Fallout at all.

Actual ghosts = fine! :D

Hey, there's a fucking plane about to crash, better go back to work, dickrider boy!

Well we have radiated glowing ghouls in fallout already and these mutant ghost people are just mutated, radiated things called 'ghosts', so what's the problem? You whine about Bethesda reusing the same enemies in FO3 yet when an attempt is made to diversify and expand the critter pool all of a sudden you faggots are all up in arms! Centaurs, wannamingos, floaters etc. are all pretty 'wacky' enemies, yet I don't see too much rage against them. Oh, you are quick to explain them away, but you get some basic info about a 'ghost' and rather than wait for more details you just shit yourselves with indignant rage! Puhlease....
