So lets begin, i prefer to die, not because of something preconception, no is not about to ugly look that they have, is because of the painfull life of a ghoul because of your rotten skin and an apparence grotesque your life will be not easy , people will flee from you, people will hate you and all that things that people do, after a couple of days you will regret that you have not been killed and you will isolate yourself, madness, pain, rage all that bad fellings will make you become a feral ghoul.

So even if you not die, will be hard to live in such condition right ?

Hmmmm I guess I would live as a normal human being but would consider turning into a ghoul if I decided that I would like to live more. With purpose of course, like to help a society that I considered that is worth something. Or for personal revenge or something like Raul Tejada in new vegas that chased down bandits that killed a prostitute that reminded him of his sister and when he got shot multiple times he refused to die.

In the current day, Hell yeah! There'd be so many amazing advancements in technology that I could live through.

But in the fallout universe, No way in hell. The wasteland is rough enough as it is and I doubt it would ever recover.

HHMMM... This is an interesting question. On one hand you have rotting flesh, discrimination (which in the Fallout universe means more likely to get a bullet to the head), the risk of becoming feral, seeing everyone you knew over the years die of old age, and having to be exposed to an ungodly amount of radiation (which I can imagine must be painful). On the other hand you have an extended lifespan, seeing technological and social evolution firsthand, being able to share old stories (maybe even pre-war if you lived back then), and fellow ghouls not judging you for your looks. So all things considered, I would be a ghoul if that meant I can stay in a settlement and be the weapon repair man. Otherwise, no.

no, immortality is a curse not a gift , id go insane if i lived forever seeing everyone else around me die , romantic relationships fail or you have then die while you are still walking as a corpse sorry no thanks lol

Never. Even if its for the name of science. Not only will the rotting flesh play its part, the shun from human communities will slowly play its course and pave the way to becoming a fully-fledged feral.

You do have to admit that if you truly become a ghoul in reality - especially in this modern age. You'll be succumbed to scientific tests by numerous government agencies. Just look at the mutants from X-Men.

I feel like ghouls smell so noo thanks

I couldn't become a ghoul. while it would be very interesting to age extremely slowly, i wouldn't want to see all of the friends and family i have die around me while i have to sit there and have it happen. Then there comes the inevitability of becoming feral and trying to hurt people. It'd be cool to see the world change around me while i seemingly don't age, but the consequences far outweigh the benefits for me.

Id rather not become a ghoul as think about all the bigots they would give you a hard time or even just kill you.
