6 Most Terrifying Places In The Fallout Universe

When you first stop by Andale, it actually seemed like a nice town. The people were cheerful, hospitable (they even invited you to dinner, after all), and hyper-American.

In a world where people can't go anywhere without wearing body armour and firearms strapped to their backs, the townfolk of Andale wandered the streets in fancy pre-war outfits.

But the novelty of the town that felt as if it was copy-and-pasted from an advert for the American Dream wore off fast. The longer you spend time inside the town, the stranger you feel about the inhabitants. The sense of wrongness becomes palpable.

If you felt that then your sense was totally correct.

Just wander down to their basement and you find a meat processing factory underneath with chopped-up human corpses all over.

You just accepted the invitation of a town filled with cannibals to dinner. Do I have to tell you, too, that the dinner was supposed to be you?

Digging deep into their story, Andale is revealed to be the place where four ancient families with roots traced back to pre-War time grew up until the Lone Wanderer came along. When food ran out in their shelters, they had to resort to cannibalism and eventually, it became their way of life, murdering any visitors and guests to the town for meat. They used the atmosphere of normality and hospitality as a smokescreen to confuse newcomers, luring them into a false sense of security, before killing them off for food.

It goes without saying that the next time someone's too friendly toward you in the middle of the apocalypse... they might be thinking of how tasty you'd be.
