'we're All Big Fans Of Walton': Walton Goggins Reprised His Role As...

As part of Fallout 76's latest expansion into the wild Wasteland of Ohio, Walton Goggins walked into the recording booth to reprise his role as the Ghoul—in other words, perhaps the oldest bounty hunter in the New West has joined the live service game.

We've known that the Ghoul would be lurking around somewhere in Ohio for quite some time now, as his role was teased ahead of Fallout 76's newest expansion, Burning Springs, but seeing him in the videogame flesh is a sight to behold.

I wandered into Highway Town after fighting a Deathclaw and a couple of poor raiders for the entertainment of the Rust King (a story for another time) just so I could see what Goggins' character would look like in Fallout 76, and I wasn't disappointed. By the sounds of things, talking to lead producer Bill LaCoste, the devs were just as happy with the final product as I am.

"Oh, it's pretty amazing," LaCoste says. "When you have an opportunity to work with somebody like that, who can actually bring a character like that into the game. But to also have the opportunity to work directly with [Goggins] and have him be in character and do voice-over lines for the character, it's just an amazing experience.

"We're all big fans of Walton anyway, so having him not only be a part of the show, but also be part of our game and play a pretty pivotal role in Burning Springs as the Ghoul himself, was really an amazing experience. It's really hard to describe sometimes. I'm usually starstruck whenever I see somebody like Walton Goggins come in and be part of what we've created here. To see the genuine excitement behind it when they talk about the game and then hearing all those things being played out in the studio was a lot of fun."

The Ghoul doesn't have a whole lot of lines in Fallout 76—it's not like he's integral to a new major storyline or anything, but he can always be found in Highway Town's underground bar, dishing out bounties on no-goods for players to pick up and claim the rewards for.

I've already completed a couple of the minor ones, which are dubbed Grunt Hunts. They've both led me to Dino Peaks mini golf and Sandy's Sock Hop to make me kill rascals, and then inevitably ended in me getting chased into the sunset by disgruntled rusted Deathclaws—no one said it would be easy.
