Where to start when it comes to serial killers in the Fallout series? Of course you have the Nuka-Killer who committed at least three confirmed murders before the nuclear events that put the series in motion, called so because of his interest in placing Nuka-Cola bottlecaps over the eye sockets of his victims. Then there's the Disciples from the Nuka-World DLC which is a whole group of serial killers living together. One must question how they didn't just kill each other?

Clanden from Fallout: New Vegas is violent choice - making snuff films of the atrocities he commits against his victims. Oh, and of course the Fens Street Phantom, whom you only find skeletons and notes about.

But Pickman from Fallout 4 is probably the best example. You can come across a few signs of a killer picking off raiders and taunting them to come after him - in an attempt to pick more of them off, of course. In the end you'll find a charismatic artist named Pickman whom you can kill, or rescue, or both. It quickly becomes clear that Pickman murders people and turns their corpses into grotesque pieces of 'art'.
