10 Horrifying Video Game Moments YOU Are Responsible For

10. Fallout 2: Killing Frank Carlson

The first, but certainly not the last time the Fallout series will feature on this list, Fallout 2 is a game loaded to the brim with depravity and villainy of the highest order.

Though the later games would utilise improved graphic capabilities to better visually demonstrate a post-apocalyptic world, the first to PC exclusive titles in the series really capture the nefariousness of a world where ethics are optional and self-preservation is the number one priority.

This is perfectly encapsulated by the Fallout 2 mission wherein the Chosen One is tasked with assassinating the New California Republic's Vice President Frank Carlson.

Now, you may say that killing in cold blood is pretty par for the course for the Fallout series and this isn't really that out of the ordinary, and on the surface, you'd be correct. But it is the manner in which you are able to kill Carlson that is truly evil.

If the player chooses to, they can plant a bomb Carlson's young son then instruct him to run towards his father, killing them both.
