Who Is The Ghoul? Walton Goggins’ Fallout Character & Video Game Connection Explained

Amazon Prime Video’s first look at the Fallout TV series has viewers wondering who the Ghoul, Walton Goggins’ Fallout character, is in relation to the video-game source material. Developed by Bethesda Game Studios, Fallout 3 reinvigorated a dormant series, infusing the game’s post-apocalyptic, open-world environment with a new sense of scope and terror. Praised for its open-ended gameplay and emphasis on players’ choices, Fallout 3 – and the franchise as a whole — doesn’t have the typical hallmarks of a game that’s begging to be adapted to the screen. Still, the immersive world-building and propulsive narrative pushed Amazon to release a Fallout TV show.
