What are Ghouls in Fallout?
Ghouls are ever present in the Fallout universe, even in Fallout 76 which is set the earliest in the timeline of the games.
But firstly, what is a Ghoul?
None of this explains why Ghouls don’t have noses, though.
As it turns out, there doesn’t seem to be an official explanation in the lore.
The Ghoul in the Fallout show has certainly aged better than these guys.
As far as I can tell, it’s a design choice.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t theories, though.
So maybe with the radiation the nose cartilage simply couldn’t hold up.
It’s somehow the opposite, seemingly preserved by the exposure to the radiation.
So, more burned, than rotten.
Officially, it looks like a design choice.
