"Ghoul Drug" Clue in Fallout 4 - Hancock

A lot of people are panicking that the Fallout TV show is breaking lore - particularly how it's playing fast and loose with ghoul lore. I don't think they're breaking something - I think they're just shining a light on something we haven't focused on before. Hancock's backstory in Fallout 4 may show us a clue of where they're going with this.

Is Fallout 4 kind of an old game these days? Sure. But that's kind of the point of this project, isn't it? Fallout isn't a franchise that is going away any time soon. It is unnervingly relevant. Now, more than ever, audiences are connecting to this story about an apocalyptic future brought on by rampant consumerism and unethical politics.
But you don't have time to put hundreds of hours into multiple video games to catch up.
What if there was a library of cinematic - or "machinematic" - Fallout quest films?
You heard me right, buster. I will crank these puppies out for as long as you bastards keep the lights on.
Want to learn more about lore but don't feel like fighting super mutants in the process?
You've already played for a 5000 hours, but there's one quest you never got around to. Now you have a lazy alternative!
You've been dying for that friend or relative who refuses to play video games to experience the wasteland. Now they can, and there will be no Hollywood betrayals of the source material.
Want to see a really useful application of mods - maybe YOUR mods - that FINALLY isn't pornographic? (Not even softcore! Innocent as blood and gore can be!)

I don’t pay a lot of attention to the “age” of ghouls, assuming most have been around for a very long time, and in addition I don’t really chat with followers, that particular aspect of fallout lore (and specifically, the exact year(s) in which major events transpired & how long it’s been since those events took place) has never really interested me that much in contrast to other elements of the franchise 😂 Edit: oh wow he literally says it as soon as you play the clip, idk how I missed that, but remembered the off-the-cuff line about his chem affinity 😂🤦‍♂️

    My theory is that its somehow extracted from ghouls. Hence why Don Pedro digs Coop up occasionally to "cut bits off him" before putting him back in the ground. Also, why Coop appears to remove and eat a specific part of Roger, potentially as a less potent version to tide him over until her can get the vials...and possibly why the Superduper Mart organ harvesting business also kept a bunch of Ghoul prisoner, and why they appear to be the main Vial connection in the area.

    As I recall the reason that side of his face didn't appear to age was because it was paralyzed. So a sort of subatomic botox that didn't let him develop wrinkles over time on that side.

Other exceptions are the settlers in Sanctuary, unless Mama Murphy ODS, to my knowledge. This is because, why the fuck are you trying to kill random people for no reason in the first place, when the point of a game is to do quests and have fun.

    I kinda understand the connection but the stuff the squire drank wasn’t quite was Hancock described. I’ve seen some theories of ppl saying it’s FEV which would make you more durable and add a healing factor, and it would make you immune to radiation. But FEV is normally taken in much larger doses and has more immediate side effects. Another theory I’ve seen is that it’s a mutagen from 76 which also come in weird vials like in the show and are also directly consumed like in the show. The mutagen also does a huge range of things in the game so it could be that.

    The problem with the whole ghoul drug thing isn't that it exists. We knew that with the bullshit Eddie Winter quest that retconed more ghoul lore again for a third time in their own game, but it's whatever. The issue is having to have a drug every day to keep from going feral. That alone retcons every single ghoul in the lore ever including Hancock and Eddie Winter. However the "only one hit last of its kind," is kinda reconned but again it's what ever. They fucked way wayyy more up that's more egregious than the drug that turns people into ghouls. I didn't really see anyone having an issue with that part, just the part where being a ghoul makes Cooper and Thadeus literal tanks that can't die and heal like Alucard but every other ghoul died in a single shot sometimes insignificant shots at that. With Emils track record I wasn't expecting much but even then I expected way more than what got delivered and I tried tempering expectations.

    i believe ghouls are made when someone is exposed to a small amount of the FEV virus (the ghoul from the first town u find in the first game was turned by a vat of FEV), and because ghouls are so prevalent in the world its possible that FEV has a mutated strain that has become mostly harmless to the point where it acts as a common cold, but exposure to radiation can cause it to "reactivate"

    Thank you so much for saying the quiet part out loud. Bethesda has been trying very hard for more than a decade to place a pall of doubt over the origin of Ghouls, but when you piece together the evidence it becomes quite obvious that it's FEV. The show then came this >||< close to confirming it with Thaddeus, but left out enough detail to keep it a mystery and leave us all arguing about it.

    I mean maybe, but FEV is also very likely. They assumed he may become a ghoul, but healing the way Thaddeus did is more of a supermutant thing. I think the ghoul assumption is a misdirect, and they'll all be in a situation where they are worried about him becoming a ghoul, so they might set up some precautions, like lock him in a room while they sleep, only to find when they all wake up, he's a super mutant, and the precautions aren't actually enough to contain him. He'll break free, they'll all fight while trying to get him to recognize who he is and realize what happened to him, but he'll strugle to come to his senses and respond with low intelligence supermutant talk, and maybe he'll come to his senses, or he'll succumb to the mutation and end up running off in a panicked rage. But what do i know, I'm just an innocent ol' youtube comment, dont mind me.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the drug isn't particularly special, but just either some defect in certain Radaway mixtures or some kinda 3rd party brand. Because we see enough ghouls (both feral and non-feral) that whatever is causing the change must be something fairly common. So, knowing the Fallout Universe and how effective things like the "portable shelters" seem to be. I would not be surprised if some other company made a cheap "alternative" brand of Rad-Away or Rad-X that causes ghoulification in those who have any kind of radiation exposure. Manufacturers likely assumed the bombs would never drop and the drug wouldn't need to actually work, or that the bombs would drop and nobody would be alive to complain about it being defective.
