i remember playing fallout 3 in October of 2008 when it was released and stumbled across the dunwich building and i quickly ran to the closest exit lol

The swamps of Point Lookout freaked me out, the whole place just gave off an eerie vibe.

Oh and The Dunwich building, for obvious reasons.

Vault 11 always kinda creeped me out tho

I'd say Deathclaw Promontory where you get the enclave remnant power armor. Or north of goodsprings because Cazadors. Or any place with scorpions. Or if you have MoMod installed the places with tarantulas. The metro tunnels aren't that bad. I hate Repconn more than the metro tunnels

I agree... Deathclaw promontory is the most scary place in he mojave, you suddenly find a place on the colorado where you can "climb" ,and before reaching the top, you have from 2 to 5 mad deathclaws following you till you reach the river and swim.

Took me like 45 mins to clear the area out at the level i was then, with a shotgun , mines and a plasma rifle...

Definitely the Dunwich Building. The related audiolog Quest really painted a great spooky atmosphere.

Haven't come across that particular building, then again I started playing fallout new vegas for the first time somewhat recently.
I'm bad with scary stuff, this building you guys talk about will be the death of me. xd

Vault 22 and Deathclaw Sanctuary... nuff said

Vault 22 really freaked me out, and that was with basically all my companions.

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA cordyceps-like creatures scare the shit out of everyone, its a pity there aren't more of them, all over the most dangerous places in the mojave, i miss that suspense feeling when getting close to a bush

Vault 106 In Fallout 3 really creeped me out.

Yeah, actually used a flamethrower for once.

when i first started a game of modded FNV i used alternate start and i found a cave that i got really deep into before realizing it was a deathclaw nest haha. scared the crap out of me

I mean yeah the other places scared me too but the one i mentioned made want to go ahaed and quit the game completely.

The dunwich building, by far, that flash back made me touch cloth literally, it made me jump... and overall it feels... spooky.

Hmm.. now in Fallout I don't find anywhere scary (mostly because I just don't scare easy anymore for some reason probably something to do with my job :L) however.. when I was about 15 I was scared of Point Lookout.. more specifically the swamps and.. the inhabitants... I hated the Swamp people.. they where evil.. twisted cannibals that would likely brutally rape and murder me.. then rape my murder corpse before cooking it up and eating it.. :L I dunno I guess their dialog and their overall horrific look and the scariness of the environment used to scare me back then..

Dunwich definately. Properly modded to make interiors dark as hell Old Olney was a jump scare with the Deathclaws. Some Sections of Point Lookout were pretty good. The vision quest too.

I would have to agree with BritishBoyStar and vandenburger. Dunwich was one of those places where you're like: "everything's fine when you're trying to destroy the book, but once you're done it's sprinting time! Hahaha I always gtfo asap from there.

Also the overall mood of Point Lookout with proper mods was scary as hell and I never felt safe till I was back in DC.

To add to this I'd say the Villa from Dead Money is also scary as shit after dark, those guys one shoot you and there's plenty of them, they can see you but you can't see them, it's just pure terror, the more you run the more you aggro and the more you get into gas pockets and closed streets.

Oh, and also the Mall, the first time you visit, if you've got the Increased Increased Spawns mod and a dark enb, play in hardcore and are out of medbags, and have to quietly move till you reach the stupid antena place, not that it ever hapenned to me of course, .

Tranquility lane and my first time in quarry junction probably. Also Vault 22 was pretty creepy.
overall there wasn't much in the games that scared me much, I kinda wish someone would make more horror themed mods.

before i played the pc version of new vegas (before i was able to use mods to get to NV), i used to use the stealth boy from goodsprings schoolhouse to sneak past the deathclaws at quarry junction....it would be nerve wracking!

Id say for Fallout 3 it was the 'Deathclaw Sanctuary' and 'Germantown Police HQ', both were rather ominous on the first time through.

For Fallout New Vegas, There weren't any really creepy places IMO, but I've played and made some unreleased mods with dark, dank and eerily lit areas.
