Dunwich Borers

I've only been playing FO4 for a year and in that time I've restarted games numerous times due to modding and so there's a lot I haven't done or seen in the game. I just finished Dunwich Borers for the first time and was seriously creeped out by it. The dim lighting, the jump scares and all the other parts combined to make a seriously creepy atmosphere. Of course I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to that stuff anyway, but just wanted to see if anyone else felt the same way on that part of the game.
 
i'm not scared easely but was a very very good quest for me, i dont know wich guy in bethesda did it but he deserve a medal :D
 
i think its one of the best, most atmospheric quests in the game, and its a big shout out and tribute to H.P. Lovecraft type horror.
 
:skull ijust played it myself a few days ago
got me my sacrificial dagger ;)

Yeah I agree. The Dunwich one in FO3 was good but not nearly so atmospheric I find. The ferals in FO4 jump scare me all the time and this was no exception here.
 
I confess my first encounter at superduper mart was creepier to me, because it was my first encounter with 'Shit, they're crawling in the windows!!'. Dunwich borers wasn't actually that bad, although by then I had figured out tactical headlamps and seeing everything highlighted in red does *not* improve the experience. But it wasn't as bad as the Dunwich building in Fallout 3 for me.
Embarrassingly enough, I was never able to get myself to use that evil dagger.

Nah! I have a very hard time roleplaying an evil character in any game so I get it. I don't use melee much anyway, just want it to mount it on the wall :)

There's a sword in Whiterun that I steal and ... lock in a basement of a house I'm not using.
 
Pickman's quest is just psycho creepy. The other Lovecraft-level creepy one is the Cabot House quest (Which I frankly called wrong regarding who was the good guy until I investigated a bit further).

Cabot House is a hard one to decide who is right and wrong.
 
In Cabot house the whole family is screwed up in my opinion. As for Dunwich, the first time I did that quest I was so creeped out by the time I got to the end that even though I knew there was a dagger in the pool I couldn't screw up the courage to go in after it. Well I tried, but even with wearing a hazmat suit the radiation tick sound just added to my being creeped out. Plus in real life I have a pretty significant phobia of large bodies of water. It's all I can do to calm my anxiety enough to get into a swimming pool with clear water that isn't making radioactive ticking noises at me. So yeah...I've never managed to get that dagger. Between the atmosphere of the quest and my intense phobia of water I can't do it. It freaks me out just doing the "minor" short dive to get the trunk in the water by that raider lighthouse in Far Harbor or going after the marine armor. Even swimming out to the Yangtzee creeps me out.
 
My favorite part of dunwich borers is if you're traveling with Preston when you get to the pool he says "going down there would be a very bad idea... Which means we're probably going down there."

It didn't even occur to me that I should until he said it.

Heh! I never travel with Preston so I didn't know he said that :)
