Thats not the point. That place was filled with them!! Plus the whole place was a maze. In F3 when i went down in the Metros i got lost most of the time...im still a little weary to venture down in there.

No, obviously you like to make things up because that's not even remotely true.

Personally I didn't find the dunwhich building all that scary. Then again, Lovecraftien horror kind of fails when your armed in tank style powered armor, and equipped with Vengence. Especially when you have Faust and Dogmeat backing you up. Yes, I know it was overkill, but I was level 30 at the time, and I figured there would be some trip or trap, like most Point Lookout quests

H&H tools factory is allright. It's got a slightly weird backstory too if you bother to read all the terminals, it may not have have been as scary as some places but there were a few "oh [censored]" moments.

Vault 11 had the ominous, "This is way too easy" feeling all the way up to the end room. The posters and terminals re-enforced that feeling. The feeling was then justified at the end. Well done. Not exactly spooky, but satisfyingly ominous.

I would have loved to see some much larger spooky haunted ghoul filled gold mines out by searchlight. What's there left me wanting more.

i hate how you see a location on you compass you aint been to yet and when you get there its a rusty shack with no items or any reason at all to be on the map or a clapped out trailer.very dissapointing.this si one thing that 3 had over this game.exploring actually had a point to it and rewarding to do so.if the new things in this game like gun mods and stuff like that were in 3 it would be better than nv.not like the graphics were noticibly better.not acceptable

Um some of it kinda is. FNV is more about dialogue and the writing.

Well yeah, but if its your first time through and you don't know whats going on and how to plunder the armoury. it can be daunting and/or frustrating.

That's why we fallout 3 fans dislike FNV, it was focused too much on dialogue and writing thus making the mojave wasteland boring and repatative. But I did like vault 3 and 34 and the deathclaw island

Hey, I'm a Fallout 3 fan and I love NV!

But seriously, Vault 34 scared the hell out of me, not because it was that creepy, but because I kept getting lost in it, slowly running out of rad-x and rad-away (In hindsight, I should have brought more). Actually, what scared me most is that I didn't even know it was there. If you don't know, there is a one-way entrance on top of the hill that V-34 sits in. I was just climbing the hill, saw a pit and was like, "Hey, I wonder what this is-DAMMIT I FELL IN!" I didn't actually think of going Fast traveling out of it until I had already gone through and was in a creepy, radiation filed cave. Then, while trying to get out, I stumbled across Vault 34. This was quite the surprise, as the entry tunnel as nothing like any of the other vaults. I ended up running the hell out of there after I kept getting ambushed by ghouls from behind. I came back later much more prepared.

Vault 11 creeped me out little, and that little was based on what wasn't happening rather then what was. I.E. that there were only very weak enemies, I kept expecting to round the corner and come face to face with an angry deathclaw. I knew that the last room had to have something pretty nasty in it, but when I saw how nasty, I just said, "Oh [censored]."

Vault 22 creeped me out a little as well, but all vaults creep me out a little. Fallout 3 did that to me.


As for Fallout 3...

The Dunwhich Building didn't actually creep me out that much on my first playthrough. I had managed to miss every single paranormal thing (Aside from that "vision", which freaked me out for a sec), and every note on what was going on. I also had no idea what it was based on at the time, nor did I know at all until someone started talking about it on the forums. However, with all that said, the Dunwhich Building did creep me out on m second playthrough, even though I knew it was haunted. In fact, that made it worse. Since I had been through once already there was no real mystery, however the logs I had found did clue me in on things I had previously missed. Overall, the Point Lookout quest did nothing for me. I had already cleaned it out at that point so I kinda just waltzed in and burned the damn book.

Vault 87, on my first playthrough, creeped me the [censored] out! I was running through it as fast as possible just so that I could get the hell out of that damn place. Something about all the supermutants not wanting to die, and the fact that, at the time I didn't know you could repair things had me going around the vault with mostly destroyed weapons, barely able to kill a mutie and take his gun from his corpse. The lack of weapons, as well as the lack stimpacks meant I was dieing a lot, every time reloading in to that rusty, dim, red hellhole. Even today I still hate visiting it, even though I know exactly what to expect, thus making it a cakewalk. It is still me least favorite place in Fallout 3 to visit.

Vaults 106 and 108 amused me more then they creeped me out. What with all the GARRIES(All hail overlord GARY!!) and the talking to myself via terminal to "Breath deep in the blue", then refusing to talk to myself.

I felt the same way, haha. Though for me, it was more like: "Wait a minute, what the hells going on!?"

Deathclaw island?

That place near cottonwood cove, its an island full of deathclaws about 20 of em

Really? I must check this out.

Vault 34 was "jumpy" scary, in that the random ghouls jumping out to attack you from behind the corner made you recoil a little.

also known as the Deathclaw Promontory. Be prepared to fight a lot of Deathclaws...although you can go to the water to drink and heal so not a huge loss...

but back on topic in new vegas I originally thought two locations were creepy.

The first is the animal husbandry. I'm not sure why but for some reason I thought the person was righting an account of how the animals were trying to eat them. They began to creep me out so I killed all of them.

The second place was oddly enough the Repconn Testing Site. Wasn't expecting blue things to attack me out of nowhere...even though I should have pieced together the clues earlier.

I would say Vault 11, Vault 22, and Vault 34 were all equally spooky in their own ways. Vault 22 I wasn't expecting what happened and to be honest the atmosphere made me paranoid. The first 2-3 levels there was nothing but mantises so I felt something was wrong immediately. The potential for zombie plant people was creepy for some reason (if only because of the background sound). Vault 11 wasn't so much spooky as it was eerie in how accurate a portrayal of humanity it was. Vault 34 was a maze and not going in there prepared is deadly...and the noises of the ghouls were constant and annoying.

Yah pretty much all the vaults freak me out(a side effect from F3). Vault 22 freaks me out alot with those plant beasts that come out of the ground and if you read the terminals especially the one in the Doctors room it crazy. Vault 34 wow dont get me started that place was like a nightmare maze. The ghouls just added the fun.

The only places that really got me scared were:
Camp Guardian ( this one was just, bah)
Vault 34 ( I screamed like a little girl, hahah)
Dead Money ( nice horror vibe there)

That's about it really. And to be honest the dunwich building wasnt even that scary, i found it cool sure, but not scary. Maybe it was charon, charon helps make things alot less spooky

Well usually when you have a companion when your going into creepy places it doesnt feel so bad.

I'm amazed no one mentioned Dead Money, especially the Villa, I thought it was pretty frightening.

Not many places in the base game though, Camp Guardian as already mentioned, Camp Searchlight is also worth a try.

I loved that aspect of Dead Money, how it felt like you were almost in a Pre War Era, yet it made you feel like you could die at any given moment.


Though, this is coming from a guy who loves games like FEAR and the like. :whistling:

I'm going to have to go back to the Dunwich Building, I didn't find anything scary about it at all. Not even anything out of the ordinary for an empty building.

Seriously, players who loved being spooked by the Dunwich should play BioShock if they haven't done so already. There are other games with a similar atmosphere but none with a better story.

Camp McCarran.
The whole place has this dark evil vibe to it... Whenever I go there I'm afraid that the NCR will steal my stuff just like the locusts they are.

Seriously though, that camp to the nort-west and Vault 22 are pretty scary the first time through.
