Hasmith99 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Just strategizing how to increase my luck for the casino in Dead Money, and thought about using "meat of the champions" which gives +1 luck after feeding on a human corpse. Does this include non-feral ghouls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Had to look this up, based upon the following from The Vault Fallout Wiki: * In Fallout 3: With the Cannibal perk, you are able to feast on dead humans and non-feral ghouls by being in sneak mode and activating the "Devour" option. * in Fallout NV: The perk functions the same as it did in Fallout 3, except that it can be acquired much earlier (at level 4 instead of level 12). * Even when you Dine and Dash from a ghoul corpse, you will not get ghoul remains; and "Although the perk allows you to take remains, the player will still go through the long animation as if he is devouring the corpse." * There is a hidden challenge perk tied to Cannibalism that is undocumented even in the official strategy guide. This perk is called "Meat of Champions" and in order to gain it, you must feed on Mr. House, President Kimball, The King, and Caesar. So it looks like the answer is "yes". But "MoC" LUCK only lasts for 60 seconds, so it seems like an inefficient method to me. Pumping the stat before starting the DLC seems more useful. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeissYohji Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Seeing as how ghouls were originally non-mutated humans, they're still human because of their ancestry. Their parents and grandparents were obviously human, too. You don't grow out of your ancestry. Nature doesn't allow that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Not that you are wrong, but game designers don't have to follow either logic or nature/genetics. Just marketing. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr House isn't "human" so ghouls might not be either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
