8. Don't Mind The Noise... It's Just The Neighbours Being Eaten By Giant Rats"
Living in England the most ferocious animal Ive ever come face to face with has been a rather disgruntled badger, even then I ran away screaming like a little girl. Whilst sharks and rabid koalas may seem rather dangerous to us theyre as harmless as kittens compared to some of the animals and monsters youd find in RPG worlds. Deathclaws, Mireluks and giant scorpions are the norm in the world of Fallout making simple trips rather perilous. I dont know about you, but I like the fact that if I fancy a Terrys chocolate orange from the local shops I dont have to army myself with various weapons and say goodbye to my loved ones. Understandably you may not want to live in a radiation soaked wasteland and would perhaps prefer the snowy peaks of Skyrim? Perhaps youd love to have a quaint little farm with a few cows and chickens, perhaps raise a family and warm your toes in front of the fire. Well you can throw that idea out of the window as youll have dragons burning your crop, trolls attacking in the middle of the night and the occasional giant peeking in through the cracks in the door. Even if you dont get attacked youve probably got a nest of vampires in a cave nearby and a tomb in your basement. Perhaps it may be safer to live in a town with huge walls and guards? Nope. The sewers are infested with the un-dead and goblins and theres a secret entrance behind your bookshelf that allows them to come and go as they please. I guess your only solace would be that if you wanted to close up said hole or add a few fortifications to your house you wont need any planning permission from the council.
