fallout could potentially be horrifying... hideous monsters, dark tunnels and buildings,crazy people.


should the games be scary?

YES! (not always but it should make it frightening yo explore)

Yeah I think it should be. While exploring the metro, running around a corner and bumping into three ghouls isn't intimidating or scary. If you run around the same corner, bumping into 30 ghouls would be. Also a better lighting system would go a long way to adding to the tension. Exploring the X-Labs in STALKER was intimidating and full of tension because of the excellent lighting system (and sound effects) that the game used. I think the new graphics engine Bethesda is switching to will improve these things drastically - eg lighting, no. of enemies, enemy behaviour, etc.

Edit: I also think the devs should come up with some new types of mutated creatures. Ones that will give people nightmares. hmy: :gun: :flamethrower: :thumbsup:

I really like all of tjese ideas, especially the mutants that will haunt your dreams.

Fo3 had its moments. DM is survival horror.

DM?

Since when is Fallout a horror game?

Fallout is fine as it is; it is not and has never been a horror game. Somewhat scary elements, like portions of the Metro and Vaults, are fine, but the whole game should not be revamped to take a more horror-esque approach. That's not Fallout's style.

I am all for creepy places but I draw the line at trying to make the game into a horror game. Fallout isn't a horror game and if Fallout 3 was supposed to be then it failed. Not that it doesn't have it's moments.

No.
It could have it's moments, sure, but it's not a horror game and should not be designed as such.

Fear is a good thing to implent in a game espicaly fallout. Its survival and you dont know what lurking around the corner. The metros were insane to navigate in F3 and could be rather scary.

I agree. The metro and vaults is one place where it fits well, I hope they develop that aspect in future games.

Rofl. I wish i could get those....xbox

IWS and XFO make the game so HARRRRDDD.

The mods implement viagra into the game?

Yup, remember first time playing. Metros gave me chills down to my bones. Only place in CW (except Dunwich) that I really didn′t want to enter. I belive there should be scary and mysterious places, but it should not turn into a horror game.

No, but uh... there are some mods for that effect :hubbahubba:

Actually i left some of the metros undiscovered also because its hell to navigate and it just scares me a little lol.

Hehe, I do it myself. When I have discovered all the places and theres no use of them anymore I just use fast travel for the rest of the game :angel:

Yeah the first time I played through the game the metros definetly were a frightening experience. It's just that in further play throughs there were more tedious for me. I would love it if in future games these type of places were designed so that they are a harrowing experience no matter how many times the game is played (and less tedious, therefore more enjoyable).

Some pretty awsome mutant creature concepts!

Dead Money

Those as really cool. Creature 5 reminds me a bit of a death claw.
