Commonwealth ghouls have access to a wig shop.

That’s the only way i can figure it.

maybe she's born with it, maybe it's aqua cura

Fallout 4 seperated the design for feral and non feral ghouls, making the former more human and the ladder less so. Ignoring that is kinda cherry picky

im not sure what you mean, ferals were also much more monstrous in 3's artstyle. besides, the post mostly shows how they inexplicably have full heads of hair.

Fallout 3 is not Old Fallout.

They wear wigs.

In every BGS game ghouls all look identical, and it drives me insane. I feel it really detracts from the fact that ghoulification should be a unique experience to all that undergo it. Unless the Followers have invented some new kinda wasteland plastic surgery trend, of course, but I doubt that.

also ferals look so different from sane ghouls in all the bgs games which I feel is kind of a missed oppurtunity

What's "onwards" of fallout 4?

76 and perhaps the TV show?

Old ghouls would call the new ghouls smooth skins

Glowed up ghoul right here.

And they continously get new powers out of nowhere

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 4 points 1 year ago

They have to wear wigs to have that hair.
