A ghoul should be played as a ghoul should be played. But where's the caveat? Perhaps a loss in physical capability? Should psyker powers be one skill, or maybe multiple skills (like Underrail)?Д«alance should not be taken too much into consideration when it comes to Fallout 'races'. Outside of Super-Psykers, I feel like they should't be. I don't know, subtle? I mean, this is not WH40k or Star Wars. I dunno, I feel Fallout psykers should be kind of.

Psykers could also be an option, but I'm not sure how to simulate them properly. Or having a few internal tools - like different vision models and whatnot, metal bones, the works. Unless its one of the Prototype 2.5 Synths, like Nick Valentine and DiMA? That could be cool, and lead to a few interesting ideas - like being someone with a pre-loaded mind upload personality, or starting as a tabula rasa. Its a pity that Synths are actually so human-like, playable humans and playable synths would effectively be the same thing. Imagine if you had two centuries to learn things, how many things you would know? One possible idea I had is to give them a fourth skill tag (or a trait which gives them one), to represent the fact they are old and experienced. I like how FOT made them excel at being perceptive and lucky - it makes sense that fluke results would be 'luckier'. Like how they actively heal near radiation (not just immune), can re-attach lost body parts, seem to be less affected by some drugs and other chemicals, etc. They seem weaker at a first glance, but they seem pretty tough. Having problems being accepted and even being straight out attacked in some places, too.

Not being able to use most small arms and armor is interesting as well. The fact they are bigger should also make them easier to hit. Perhaps by making them suck in some things - like being sneaky. Might be a bit tough balancing the Supies tho. These mutants are like the Astartes of the Fallout universe and should be treated as such.ДЄllowing for stats beyond 10 is also a good way to make Strength not become useless because of Power Armor.

Are we supposed to believe they can only hit a measly 10 ST - AKA Body Builder strength? Please.

Super Mutants are three-meters tall giants made of over 300kg of pretty much muscle and hardened bone. I think the first step is to take cues from Fallout Tactics to make the races different. Scratch that, we should have gotten playable multiple races a good while ago. Heavy guns, tanking damage - heavy str, heavy armor. Again, in-game items and stats can do nearly anything they can. Maybe RadX and RadAway is super rare, maybe goes 'bad', so ghouls have an edge up in radioactive zones, but there would actually have to be a lot of those zones to warrant a ghoul char - and can't a super mutant take radiation, too?Д«ut overall those are very small niches to deal with to have playable ghouls or mutants. The only way this works if there are things that the human baseline cannot ever, ever get around with in-game items but like what? Maybe PA is rare for once so mutants have a edge in carrying heavy weapons off the bat - maybe stuff like the Mini Nuke, the Minigun, the Rocket Launchers, etc, can only be held at all by a Power-Armor human or a supie, even with 10 STR. Need to be beefy, strong, and tote heavy weaponry? High STR chars. It 'worked' in Tactics, I guess, but nearly anything another race can provide, the human baseline can augment. Mutants and Ghouls should be all but walking fossils by the time of a new game, especially Mutants who only came out of Mariposa and are basically extinct anyway.
