Scary things I've witnessed in Fallout Games:
-In Quarry Junction, trying to stealthily assassinate the Alpha Male and Mother Deathclaws only to have them sneak up on me and kill me.
-I was walking in the wilderness, southwest of Nipton. I knew there were enemies about, but where and what types where beyond me. I look to the right, and a Mole rat jumps at me, scarred the crap out of me.
