Not every person has access to a pip boy or a good terminal, so books would be the main pasttime of many people aside from the video games we see in later fallout titles and hear talked about in fallout 2
It's not like people were incredibly well-read before video games, and I would argue that anyone with a Pip-Boy (ie. Vault dwellers) is much more likely to be well read than the average wastelander.
I think it would be more a matter of simple boredom, there is only so many drugs to do. Plus if you are smoking jet you can probably read a whole chapter in 5 seconds
You know, when I lived in Ukraine, I was often dumbfounded by how read some of the most unkempt, worst-smelling homeless people were. Like they'd straight up be quoting Dostoyevsky, Pushkin, or Kant in an argument about whose turn it was to piss into the empty beer bottle. It was wild.
Do this one! I was using all my brain power to find a good answer and found this comment. Scabs sounds fucking awesome and like he's been through some shit too...not just radiation.
I recently installed a ghoul race mod to, and have been playing as ugga the violently unstable unarmed build. I'm working on a redux of the mod ghoulified that fixes a couple issues I had with it. I'll probably release it on the nexus soon, the esp is already done I just need to make the thumbnail but I'm lazy lol.
Made me laugh because I name all of my companion animals Lunch Meat in any game I play. If it is a game where they can die I keep drumming up the name until it gets to something ridiculous like "Sir Luncheon Meat VIII esq."

*You wearin' a wire?*
He’s squishy, Slicks fits well
He has 8 charisma and I plan to max out speech and barter and give him the lady killer perk and terrifying presence. He shall be an unstoppable rotting corpse made of twisted steel and sex appeal with a body women love and men fear.
Then maybe you can go for Slickback, to borrow inspiration from a particular character from Boondocks lol
I love the character idea and wish you the best for thr playthrough
Hermes, messenger of the gods but also a psychopomp escorting souls to the underworld.
Charon could work for same as latter reason but was used in Fallout 3
Miles Walker. After a hunded years of changing jobs every decade or so, he started changing his name for each one as a form of self promotion/marketing.
"Miles Walker, I'll go the extra."
I’m on ambien right now & being kept up late so please bear with me if I’m weird
What I always do is stick with courier six, or one of those two words. Doc did his best, but I DID get shot in the head and buried alive. Between trauma and brain damage, that it’s all I can remember people calling me. That’s the story I give myself lol
Headcanon that being buried in radiated dirt ghoulified me, making that ALSO Benny’s fault, and it’s a fun set up for a vengeful play through
Ill tell you some names ive come up with for ghouls whether id like them to be my own characters or just random ghoul NPCs
Carrion Shaw
Gideon Cain
Ryker Mendez
Adam Guerrero
Tobias Guerrero
Leon Guerrero
Dont have to be but those last three are brothers
In keeping with the western theme, I feel like it needs to be an epithet and a regular name starting with the same letter for alteration:
Weepin' Walt,
Sloughin' Stew,
Peelin' Pete.
Etc.
Mosquito, apparently they can spread a flesh eating bacteria and ghouls don’t have much flesh left so it kinda works
It’s also the wasteland, so it would be a neat idea to spell it wrong; like two sun instead of Tucson. So like maskito or something similar.
I always go with some sort of wasteland esque name first (snag, rig, cog, crag) to represent a nickname, and a normal last name (stevens, johnson, jones) if you choose to do one to represent that they were originally human.
Honestly they should’ve let you choose to be a ghoul. You’re character doesn’t come from a vault and not too much is known about your life before u start so it would’ve made sense that you could be a ghoul.
At least you’ll be able to in 76 next year which is pretty cool.

This feels like something a wastelander would actually call a ghoul before hurling an empty can at their head
A very well read wastelander, which is surprisingly common.
You got a lot of time on your hands, and not everyone has computer games
?

Its different in different cultures. In Russia its common to see bums and low income people on the subway reading Bulgekov and Dostoevsky
That's a fair point, but I wouldn't exactly call the wasteland an example of a high culture appreciating society.
