You think it's scary now? Try modding it so at night you can barely see 3 feet in front of you. The first time a ravenous beastie leaps at you from the darkness you'll drop a ten-ton load in your pants, never play it again, and possible perform some kind of ritualistic exorcism on the disk.
Except from some of the vaults (especially a certain one with a certain air-condition system, but won't say more to avoid spoiling), I wasn't scared. Those vaults are kind of claustrophobic.
The only scary parts were when I first walked into the Wasteland and kept getting blindsided by various Wasteland enemies and it startled the shit out of me each time (Perception was shite), and the Dunwich Building.
But it's not that scary. The subway tunnels can freak you out, but there's no huge problem or enemy to fight in most of them. Just carry a reliable gun with you, have high Perception, and nothing can stop or startle you.

I admit, it gets freaky at points. Example, I was playing yesterday and was roaming the wasteland looking for more landmarks. After running in a straight line for about five minutes, I think to myself that I might have missed something and turn around to a giant radscorpian that's literally right behind me. Needless to say, I was quite shocked.
yes. its a terrible phobia, because he's a great actor. maybe its a phobia of being a self-aware baby with the intelligence of an adult...Rawne1980 said:
but seriously, its kind of freaky because of all the weird shit that goes on. dont uninstall it though, its an awesome game. maybe add some mods, or give yourself a fucktonne of ammo and a powerful gun or `/tgm, spawn a MIRV and have fun
the game certainly can be tense, what with dark tunnels filled with ghouls, as well as the time when you first meet a deathclaw. oh and don't go to D.C. just don't do it! unless your packing more ammo then the military.
Actually, as much as I love New Vegas and Fallout 3, I believe the older titles in the series are way scarier (Fallout 2 & 1). They made you feel like a tiny insect in their world, that anything can kill you. In Fallout 3 once you hit a certain level and become powerful, which is a little easy, you lose the feeling of fear.
New Vegas brought the feeling back a bit, I think. One wrong move and your brains are all over the walls.

I have to admit, first time I went down in the metro and the screams of the feral ghouls sounded. I was genuinely terrified. (I'd never played a Fallout game before and didn't know what was making that noise).
Fallout New Vegas scares me because you never know when a giant motherfucking radscorpion is going to fuck your shit up.
Walks into Mick and Ralph's looks left, right, no it was clipped in behind Mick's secret stash. Killed both of them before I ran, and yeah. They can use doors. Scary mother fuckers. I deleted that game and never saw them outside the zones again. Still, in that one I was waiting for them to paradrop on my ass.

You know what terrifies me on Fallout 3? Feral Ghoul Reavers.
Albino Radscorpions are tough but easy to dodge, Super Mutant Overlords are just annoying to kill.
Feral Ghoul Reavers deserve a special pit in Hell. Seriously, fuck those guys. First time I fought one was when I was in the Presidential Metro. I shat bricks.
Besides that it gets quite gruesome when you actually stop and think about what the Raiders do to you if they catch you (in canon at least, in game they just kill you).

Oh, you!Sassafrass said:
OT: Just sticking with it until you level up a fair bit usually does the trick. That's when you encounter what is known as "F.E.A.R. Syndrome".
This condition is known to render its victims completely fearless, coupled with large amounts of ammo, firearms, and armor pieces sprouting up in the effected persons inventory. Side-effects include running haphazardly into combat, not giving a shit, and having non-stop sexual intercourse with "fine bitches" while obtaining large amounts of currency.
If you mean Dunwhich building and Deathclaws then you are right. The game can be scary on occasions. After a while I am sure you will get use to it.
Well, I don't think of it as a sequel, it's just a similar game, with references to the older games. Honestly, it has nothing in common (either in story or gameplay) with FO1 or 2, and I like it that way. Having things different is nice, instead of companies using the "Call of Duty" sequel formula.Pontus Hashis said:I started out with Fo3, but when I played the old ones I started hating Fo3, atleast the story. If it's enclave,BoS and changed weapons could go un-cannon itself I would love it =DSlayer_2 said:You mean the scariest thing about Fallout 3 is rabid Fallout 1 and 2 fansPontus Hashis said:
I got that too at the very beginning of Fallout when I first played it.Hauntghost20 said:
To be honest I was afraid to walk out of Megaton at a point...
It was mostly that fact I had no idea what to do and there was no easy run into the game, just pick your skills(but what do they do?) and then get a bit of practice shooting... and OH SHIT... this is big... and violent... and there aren't fixed supplies... and I went out... and I am running out of ammo... and... wwwwaaaaaa..... I just wanna leave.
Yeah I have a rough idea of what your thinking xD
However I started the game up again, started again and went further... then I started it again and that time I completed it! (I actually never went to point lookout or the ghoul infested pitch black Dunwich Building).
When I played New Vegas I had Fallout 3 under my belt and there was A LOT MORE DIRECTION at the beginning, and a lot less critters at the very start so they let you get your footing, and then let you wander. I eased onto that one fine.
Then I tried fallout 2 and... I actually had the same problem again xD I was a bit surprised but I was nervous again and didn't know what to do as it was a different interface.
I got over that too though... with time.
150 Hours in and Albino Radscopions have hernias when they see me. And deathclaws. And reavers. Oh, and overlords. Behemoths can't cause they're dead. Mainly because im level 30, all skills 100, ive done (except 1) every possable quest, found every special weapon, every bobblehead, and cleared out the dunwhich building and old olney, and found every location.MiracleOfSound said:
Too bad its for the xbox so i can't get mods to make it harder.
OT: Never had that problem, probably because ive played oblivion, which i pretty much the same engine.
Radscorpions of the Giant or albino variety still make me pee myself. I might not 100% Skyrim because of the huge as fuck spiders...
I just hate when fully engrossed in the game and get hit with melee from behind. Giant Radscorpions are pretty creepy up close too. I prefer looking at them from a Gauss rifle scope.
