What do they eat?

I eat ghoul girl ass.

theres a ghoul in 4 that survives in a fridge for 200 years
they don't need to eat

Your mamas pussy hole

>>713878686
They need to drink water, as shown by Fallout 1.

>>713878686
there's also a guy in 4 that says he fed the ghouls in his basement

>>713878261 (OP)
It was established as early as Fallout 2 that ghouls don't need to eat or drink to survive.

>>713878861
They don't, as shown in Fallout 2, 3, New Vegas, 4, and 76.
Possibly also in Tactics but I've never personally checked.

New Vegas has a guy who goes out of his way to explain he's survived locked in a room surrounded by hostile, invisible super mutants by eating radroaches and licking condensation from pipes

>>713879726
It also has a bunch of ghouls who have survived multiple years entirely on hyper radioactive wind

>>713879726
It's somewhat implied that Ghouls still feel hunger and thirst, But don't actually die of Starvation or Dehydration.
I honestly suspect that feeling of unending starvation is one of the potential causes for Feralness in ghouls, alongside Eyelid rot, Radation-fried brains, dementia, and other forms of madness humans seem to naturally get from existing in the Fallout setting

Lonesome Road can't even keep to the established timeline of events of the main game so I'm not going to accept it as canon when discussing ghouls either.

No, Avellone doesn't get a pass for at least having them at ground zero of the largest nuclear explosion in the country since the Great War. They're the same level of stupid "I need something to put here" bullshit as the replicators from Dead Money.

fallout 2 was a mistake
you can't convince me ghouls were ever meant to be immortal prior to fo2 which is filled with other retarded memeshit to the point that even the creative director thinks it was a mistake

They mention having a source of water in 3.
In 1 they drink (water) and eat (people). If you take their chip and don't repair their pump, they die.
>>713879274
Fallout 2 also established ghouls were all going to die inside 20 years. And a lot of other lore, including Star Trek time travel breaking the water chip, the president is called Dickdickson, FEV makes talking plants and animals, wanamingos are aliens from space, there's a rainbow patrol of gay people, and so on and so forth. Half of which is no longer canon, the other half is equally fucking retarded.
I can't remember if it's also the one with LGBTQI+ representation of a dog because a raider says "I think my dog's gay".
There's also Set's son. He was irradiated as a teenager, or a child, a definitive age isn't given unless I'm mistaken, and he's now an old man in an old folk's home... in the same series that has the ageless fridge child.

gross disgusting flesh-sloughing-off ghoul sex with my husbando charon :3!!!!

>>713880691
It is canon, anon, no matter how much you like or dislike it. Same as 76, same as the TV show, same as everything except Brotherhood of Steel for the PS2 and the stuff they haven't recanonized from Tactics.

>you can literally be an irradiated, pus oozing, skin falling off, balding psychopath, and you'll still be 10/10 if you're over 6'5"
life isn't fair bros

>Fallout 2 also established ghouls were all going to die inside 20 years
Honestly never heard that one, which text blurb did you pull that one from?
>There's also Set's son. He's now an old man in an old folk's home
To quote him verbatim, after he said the "Old Ghoul's home":
>"It's kind of a joke. There ain't any ghouls but old ghouls. We're all sterile, see, but we're incredibly long-lived."
>in the same series that has the ageless fridge child.
Also the Series with that one ghoul in Underworld who was also a Child when the bombs dropped. The Kid's maintained youth likely either has to with Ghoul Hibernation which was also established in 2, or some retarded Fridge Cryogenics which is no doubt possible given the lax state of Fallout's Laws of Physics.

NTA, It's from Gordon in 2, who very much isn't a doctor so his opinion on ghoul lifespan isn't one to be trusted.

>>713882094
as long as we all agree the chosen one causing vault 13's water chip to malfunction is canonical i'm okay with immortal ghouls
the magical supermutant needs to be canonical too, whatever the fuck his name was
