"So please, if you meet one of the Capital Wasteland's many Ghouls, leave your prejudice at the door and your pistol in its holster."
I always thought the idea of Ghouls being treated as a separate race never really worked. They're literally just people with severe skin burns and radiation-centered abilities, depending on the game. Also it was said/implied at least once that Ghouls going feral is a matter of "when" and not "if" so they're walking liabilities.

I think this is Bethesda's invention - feral ghouls weren't a big deal in F1 and F2, Bethesda needed zombies for their Elder Scrolls reskin so now feral ghouls are everywhere. In F2 Typhon is like 160 years old and still lucid and vigorous enough to be a coomer.

That's kind of the point, nobody wants a ticking time bomb that smells like shit and is decomposing. Doesn't help that there is a ton of POS ghouls, like Roy Philip's cheery little band or Ahzruhkal and his pet slave Charon. Plus, take a load of just how many ferals there are on the east coast, people are definitely justified in their xenophobia.
You know what they say, "Despite making up only 13% of The Capital Wasteland, Feral Ghouls commit 50% of the murders within the DC area".

The existence of pre-war ghouls proves that its not a matter of time but then again, ghouls are a mystery even to themselves as ghoul scientists didnt figure out much even after 200 years of tests and studies.

Its possibly a matter of a genetic lottery and the amount of radiation exposure

The amazon series really seems to be doubling down on the ghouls being their own different species by this point, with even a freaking potion to keep them from going feral (again, you could have written so that this is exclusive to The Ghoul, maybe is so near to becoming feral that he drinks this stuff, maybe radway mixed with something, to hold off the process but hey, Im not a million dollar nepo baby early history hollywood writter, what do I know?)
 
I stopped using scrap mods years ago because breaking precombines makes downtown fucking unplayable. Just use a cleanup mod instead.
There is one I've been using for years and it also lets you scrap pretty much everything. The way that one works is that you need to press a button to activate a mode that lets you scrap everything, had no problems with it or precombines altho you can't delete *everything*, just vast majority of objects.

I've found a follow up video to Jeff's Sneaking Test in New Vegas, made 2 years ago
Link to original video, which I recommend watching first
This dude makes some good videos, one of the few people still doing research and challenge runs for Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Here are a few he also made recently:
All skills raised to 100 by Level 7
Unlisted/Hidden effects of various perks in Fallout 3 and New Vegas
Vault 87 lore sperging
Raven Rock related autism
Run Speed research videos, similar to his Stealth one

Now this is my kinda tism
 
fallout 2 or 3 next?
2. You should know what Enclave is before you encounter them in 3. You should know who Harold is before you encounter him in 3.
Actually, if you are prepared to play isometric one, start with 1, it's much shorter and a great introduction to the story that continues in 2 and NV.
 
the same person who voices Myron voices Boone in New Vegas.
voice acting is insane, real voice acting i mean, not celebrity ones. Like the bitch who plays Rebecca in assassins creed can basically nail any accent a person anywhere on the planet could have, but she barely gets work because she's a nutty 80 year old jewish woman who can sound exactly like a 9 year old black girl from the hood but in our DEI era you have to hire someone that matches the description of the character.
 
fallout 2 or 3 next?
You're best off playing Fallout 1 and then 2, then skipping to New Vegas and then playing whatever else you want.
If you're playing the games in chronological order and want the full experience, here they are, along with some fangames if that's your thing:
Nevada=>Fallout=>Sonora=>Tactics=>London=>2=>New California=>3(Just play TTW)=>New Vegas=>4
76 technically takes place before all these games, but do you really want to play that piece of shit?
Then there is Old World Blues mod for HOI4, which I believe takes place the farthest in the timeline, but I haven't looked into it too much.

OWB occurs a little before NV, in 2275, but as most of the map isn't very involved with NV, and the fact that it spoils some things from NV for the countries that are, I'd say that it's better to play NV first (for example there's a secret Think Thank path for one of the countries). Most of the lore is lifted from cancelled games like Xtreme or Van Buren, or semi-canon works like the Fallout Bible
 
I have finished the main story in Fallout 3 (what a shit ending) and the game keeps crashing after the ending slideshow. Is there a way to fix it?
