Hey everyone! I’ve been giving some thought to becoming a Ghoul in the game and I’m curious if anyone else has considered the potential downsides of this decision. What are your experiences or thoughts on the negative effects that might come with being a Ghoul?

I’ve only got one character, but I’m diving in! I used to be into unarmed builds, but it felt lacking. If I don’t like being a Ghoul, I can always revert or create a new character. The disguise isn’t a big worry for me, but I get why it could be a dealbreaker for others.
I haven’t really thought about the negatives. I just started a new character and am excited to go Ghoul as soon as I can. I’m aiming for a pistol build since melee, in my experience, tends to miss out during events. Just gotta figure out how to balance it!
I probably won’t commit to this until I’ve finished all the quests first. The one downside I really care about is that being in disguise can lock you out of certain quests, and those debuffs are a bit of a pain. So I’m going to hold off until I’ve done everything I want to do!
Totally agree! That disguise thing can be really limiting, but it’s nice to know you can still play without it for a while.
True! The disguise does come with significant drawbacks, like that -10 CHA hit. It can make buying plans from vendors a hassle, plus dealing with the constant need for chems is a bummer!
