    Surprised you didn't mention the robobrains/Professor Calvert/Think Tank under the "mechanically assisted stasis" category. Or give brains its own separate category.

      Technically the robobrains aren't people anymore, just organic processing units. Remember the 'person' that was once in that brain gets zapped away.

      Would Synths really qualify? While it may look or think like you you will still face oblivion when your meat suit runs out of health even if the synth keeps synth-ing. If you are more referring to Nick or similar who develop individual personalities outside of their “provided data” I could see that but I’d imagine a synth wouldn’t “seek out” prolonged life as they already possess it.

    The immortality that comes with ghoulification should come with several * : ghouls will eventually develop the aches and pains of old age (though the Bethesda games don't go into much) and the eventuality of going feral is constantly hanging over their heads.
    In Fallout 2 there's Private Dobbs who was frozen in bio med gel to see how well that works for cryogenic preservation: it did not work out well.
    Also in 2 is Chuck Stodgers who was somehow preserved from the fumes in a uranium mine; he was a Buck Rogers reference and is very much a Wild Wasteland type encounter.

    There is a way that immortality could've been achieved without any drawbacks.
    Get a gen 3 synth, transfer your memories into it using the loungers, and repeat as needed.
    Its not even clear if Synths age in FO4, so you might only need to do it once

      @@nomadwolfox2140 That isn't even transferring the soul. What you're doing is creating a synth duplicate of yourself. If you ever wanted a twin this is a way to accomplish that. And if you have a bad personality, your synth twin could very easily kill and take your place. Cloning isn't a method of immortality, the clones live. That doesn't help you at all.

      If Ghouls absorb enough radiation (though even then there are exceptions) and/or their mental state becomes irreversibly damaged (i.e. traumatized) they become Feral Ghouls.

    • @mlmii1933
      @mlmii1933 Рік тому +1

      The ghouls themselves don't understand why some go feral and others don't but it's a very real possibility that all ghouls will eventually go feral.
      Makes the BoS and Diamond City's position on ghouls much more reasonable.

    • @thatguy913
      @thatguy913 10 місяців тому +1

      We don’t have a cannon reason for why ghouls go feral. We’ve heard a few theories like increased radiation or being alone for to long. In fallout NV we get to see a glowing one that’s still smart so I’d doubt it’s solely rads. the Doctor in underworld said to even become a ghoul requires rads and he thinks some other unidentified factor to not just die instead. I think it’s having the right genetics and not going feral requires really really lucky genes.

    One thing I wonder about: is Conrad Kellogg immortal (before the PC kills him)? How many bits of him have been replaced? Could the Institute replace those again & again?? Are *Synths* immortal and if so is Conrad basically a Synth????

    • @FezMooseLive
      @FezMooseLive Рік тому +1

      They explain in game that its implants. Probably stuff that creates new cells to replace old cells.
      Kellogg even has the parts on him

    • @mlmii1933
      @mlmii1933 Рік тому

      Kellogg's life extension was originally a cut plot where Father was lying about being Shaun ... but that was cut very early as I understand it and in the released story he's probably not truly unaging, but his life has been greatly extended.
      However we know that Synths have to age by default simply due to the fact that thier missions to replace human beings would fail otherwise.

    • @mlmii1933
      @mlmii1933 Рік тому

      @robertothesupermutant830 ...
      The Institute discards thier experiments once they are done with them; so "won't grow up" simply means the synth won't be allowed to live long enough to do so.

  • @Snowman794
    @Snowman794 Рік тому

    Synths could potentially provide a version of immortality too, though it depends on how you look at it. Nick Valentine's brain was scanned pre-war and then transferred into a synth, so a version of Nick lived on even if it wasn't the original. Synth Nick could be immortal for as long as he can be repaired, though he may run into memory issues similar to DiMA.

      I don’t think all ghouls even go feral. In NV and 4 we see a glowing one who is still normal. If he’s not feral after enough radiation to be a glowing one I’d doubt he ever will. Especially because rads heal them and they pump that stuff out. Any damage to the brain is probably healed immediately

    N_orte, You are using 'humanity' incorrectly. Humanity refers to the spiritual being. "understanding and kindness towards other people:
    show/display humanity If only he would show/display a little humanity for once."
    The word you are searching for is Corporeal: "physical and not spiritual" and is the word you should be using.
    Ghouls can lose their humanity (go feral) but they do not have to to be ghouls. Simply losing their 'looks' does not entail losing their humanity but does to some extent affect their corporeal presence.
