I want to start as a Feral Ghoul!

[amolang]

There is very unique feral ghoul who had not lost all of his intelligence. Due to his slight intelligence and demureness he was trained by NCR and visited New Reno, Vault City, Circle Junction, Divide etc. This is his background. Since he is Feral his int and chr are capped at 1 or 2, He is able to wear armors but he suffers from increased spread when using guns. Cool idea?

Non-feral ghouls are already shunned. A feral would probably be shot on sight.

So feral but intellegent enough to use weapons.... like the ones in camp searchlight.

so I'm guessing he recently turned feral. and he's weapons haven't had time yet to decay.

The thing is, from a roleplaying POV, a ghoul maintaining their intelligence would do ANYTHING not to appear like a feral. Ferals are shot on sight, and while it's possible a ghoul would starve themselves to look like a feral for whatever reason, actually dressing in the half naked rags of one is just asking to get shot in civilized company. And really, appearance wise their is no inherent difference between a normal ghoul and a talking one.

Why not play a ghoul trying to pass (or rather reclaim his/her status) as human being? Always wear face and body concealing clothes, at least until you get through Old World Blues, where the Autodoc and clear up the superficial damage. There are mods that will let you play as a ghoul and perk packs where you can get most of the benefits/drawbacks of being a ghoul, including glowing! You'll need an infinite trait mod during character creation and a new character, but it can be done.

So instead of just being a dumb ghoul it`s a super special feral one ?

I smell a victim complex~~~~!

Naw, just a gimmick character that in practice would be unworkable.
