With both Halloween and the release of Fallout 4 rapidly approaching it got me wondering what parts of the Fallout universe do you find just downright creepy? Is it the big hulking Super Mutants? Is it Ghouls or the possibility of Ghoulification? Is it all those sinister looking robots lurking around? Or is it the darker side of human nature like slavers or cannibals?
Personally I find Little Lamplight creepy as hell... children are scary goddamit!
Buildings infested with Ghouls give me the creeps. Repconn, especially, as some of those ghouls always manage to get the drop on me. Ghouls are actually the reason it took me so long to play Fallout for the first time. When my friend told me about it, he ended up making it sound like a zombie game, and I just don't like zombie games. Eventually I gave it a shot, though, and the rest is history.
I just dislike them. I think it's mostly the usual zombie lore that doesn't excite, and I don't think they generally make very exciting bad guys. Granted, ghouls are functionally the same thing in terms of gameplay; like fast moving zombies in most other series, and that I have no problem with.
I can't really picture one :( But I have in mind sounds like Godzilla's roar, or Velociraptor calls from Jurassic Park, or TIE fighter screeches; a sound that you hear in the distance and you think "Oh, crap...I'm in Deathclaw territory," and proceed to Nope it right out of there.
