I remember my first playthrough to the Dunwich building. Ronald Laren in Gindershade told me not to go there. So I pretty much had to check it out. All was worth it when i got the (*spoiler*)
melee bobblehead. I have yet to go there again in my current playthrough.

Needless to say i was scared through and through

Since I was expecting it to be very scary from stuff I read, it was a bit of a disappointment.

I was actually more surprised at the Red Racer Factory, because when I went in there I was not expecting it to be "unusual"

If you have Point Lookout, you`ll be required to go back. As I had to.

I never found it scary, but I did notice it was more creepy than other places. A door did shut by itself, but I`m still not sure if that was intended or a bug. Oh and I saw the image of the man appear.

i read about the dunwich building being a reference to one of Edgar Allen Poe's stories of the Dunwich Horrors, whereas a man finds an evil book, referenced in fallout by the character Jaime. He explains that his father had found a book that eventually turned him mad. A very typical Poe story. Jaime's holotapes scattered around the building tell this story of him and his family.

i watch startling amounts of youtube videos based on video games. i've seen the whole playthrough of dead money and sadly it would be repetitive. i also watch xcal's playthroughs of new vegas on youtube so i guess i've learned to play fallout decently from him. amazingly i've been able to get this far while playing only on weekends by order of my parents. go figure.

It was the most Beauti...Terrible, nightmarish, hell hole EVER!!

Its actually by H.P. Lovecraft, not Poe.

oh yeah, my bad. that's what i meant.

Dunwich on my first playthrough, just saw a door and went in! I think it was my first experience of ghouls other than one or two in a metro, I remember the hissing & groaning but most of all the slapping of feet on the floor as they 'leg it' towards you. But the slapping of feet noise seemed to come at me from all directions

On later playthroughs I did notice doors shutting and I swear I saw a corpse blinking at me, but maybe it was my imagination! Yep sounds like Dunwich got to me!

Being a fan of H.P. Lovecraft I felt ridiculously uneasy the first time I entered it - I think I half-expected Cthulhu to jump out!

The most annoying thing was that when I went back there later on it took me a-g-e-s to find the basemant, which I'd stumbled upon by accident the first time...

Problem is, I didn't even know the place existed until one day I stumbled upon its entry on the Vault wiki and then got myself all spoiled to its creepiness...

...and then I got there and was so nervous about how scary it was, I made it to the first sub-basemant level thing, saw the hallucination and the Glowing One, turned tail and ran. I came back with Fawkes and I, too, was too lost trying to even make it to the accursed basemant...

I'm still so spooked I haven't gone back. I even wrote a fic about the place and now I'm even more upset about it!

And an awesome story.

But the only link between the location and the story is pretty much only in name.

Creepy place, anyhow.

But I still think the Museum (forget which, but it's the one with the vault display and hologram of space) is creepier for some reason.

Yes, the Museum of Technology is also creepy.

It wasn't bad at all, from all the posts I was excepting something very scary, all I heard was feral ghouls screaming. It's not bad, but then again, I don't jump to scary movies.

First time playing through Dunwich building was definitely the creepiest video game moment I can remember. I was playing at night with all the lights off in my house and between the screams of the ghoul..the radio that I am sure turned itself on and the hallucination sequence...it scared the crap out of me. I kept on cheating by pulling up VATS to try and find the ghouls in the dark. The second time I went through there I saved that building for a sunny afternoon.

Ghoul Mask Ftw! Go in, loot and leave, don't have to worry about being swarmed by those ugly buggers :sweat:

But i have gone in without the mask of course...I always get startled when i run into a ghoul, they're ugly yes, but i hate their sounds and even with the pip-boy light its super dark, i suppose i could turn brightness up, but thats no fun.
