Talk: Marked men

Existence

If there's no info on this enemy, no image, and no references, then how did this page come to existence? I'm not saying that the enemy is fake, per se, more that I don't know exactly how we know this thing is in the game as of yet. 07:42, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

May I also add that upon inspection, this page was created by a user who was recently blocked for vandalism. 07:44, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

Well, an image was added after you posted this. If that's what the page is based off of, I don't see a problem keeping the page up until proven that the image is just a simple ghoul. --Kastera ^(talk) 12:57, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

This page

We can rename \ redo this page right after the game is released and we know EXACTLY what creature or character this ghoul is. This red ghoul is a part of Lonesome Road, so the page may stay. Master Mold 16:37, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

That wasn't the issue, my issue was that there is no proof that the enemy in the picture is nothing more than a ghoul. Before that picture was added, this page was completely blank. I have no problem with the page being here, it's just that I'm not convinced this is a "Blood man" as of yet. 03:55, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

The blood man uses non-vanilla race textures and gear. _Tagaziel ^(call!) 06:23, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

Non-vanilla textures? You've got to be kidding me. What do you call a red, flayed human without nose and some tufts of hair? A ghoul.

I'd consider the Marked Men to be a subclass of ghoul; one that has had all the flaky decaying skin blasted off by the constant winds of the Divide. --99.153.194.20 07:22, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

Blood Man...

He looks like a ghoul.

Ghouls were originally called bloodmen on a piece of concept art. Chief ^{Talk to meh.} 11:58, September 10, 2011 (UTC)

LOOK CLOSER AT THE EYES! it was never a blood man! its a ghoul! look carefully at his eyes and you can see they are dark and small like a ghoul's!

better picture

I uploaded a screenshot from the Lonesome Road trailer, looks like the 'Blood Men' were the NCR soldiers.

Errm they wear a bit of legion armour too (shoulder pads). They could be infected scavengers or possibly Ulysses followers?

We know the NCR lost men going through the Divide on some occasions, so it's not impossible that they're NCR soldiers. And scavenging is of the utmost importance in an area like that I'd imagine. ^{"Say 'ello to my little friend!"}

I added a new image, this one is actually alive and in combat, as well as a better view of his armor. --Felix Brehh 19:01, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

Blood Man

Didn't Johnson Nash say something like: hope a storm from the divide skins him alive or something similar? Maybe these things are people without skin?--81.231.125.88 19:04, September 14, 2011 (UTC) you could be right i mean it doesnt seem like a ghoul would know how to salvage armour and most smart ghouls are non hostile so these are most likely skinned humans--Corporal grif 21:56, September 14, 2011 (UTC) Makes sense, someone should mention that on the page. It's full of speculation that they're ghouls.

Yup. Anyhow they're probably the remnants of the legion and NCR that were sent there. Banding together for survival or the like. =P Wyrmalla 23:57, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Salvaged NCR power armour

I'm not sure this should be mentioned, it could've been the Courier in the video wearing it since it was when Ulysses was narrating about factions... Fallout: Shades of Grey, coming 2012 22:43, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

im feeling like this is one of the divide dwellers and they are from ncr and legion

Creature

They aren't creatures. They are Ghouls who have just become xenophobic. Undead Hat 18:32, September 20, 2011 (UTC)

Pfft

Blood Man, HA!

The name makes no sense.

Anybody willing to tell me why theyre called Marked Men? What mark do they have? Why not just call them Divide Remnants. Or something something Remnants. I don't see how the word Marked got into this. I know that's their name and we can't change that, but why Marked? --Felix Brehh 20:51, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

Maybe because they got irrevocably marked by the Divide? Like branding? _Tagaziel ^(call!) 20:57, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

That would make sense, but they could have chosen a better word for Marked. Maybe scarred, forgotten, something like that. I like the symbolism in the name, but the word could have been a lot more appealing to the characters. --Felix Brehh 21:10, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

WHY

WHY DO THEY STILL HAVE HAIR WITHOUT ANY SKIN 75.186.131.185 01:21, September 23, 2011 (UTC)
