1. Andale's Dark Secret
Bethesda SoftworksAndale is a small town in the Capital Wasteland, with the residents hiding dark secrets behind a welcoming facade. The current inhabitants of Andale are all distant relatives of four families that were able to survive the Great War. When the player in Fallout 3 enters Andale, they are warmly greeted by warned by the town's residents, offering the place as a respite from the terrors of the Wasteland. One of the residents named Old Man Harris warns the player to keep away, but other, younger residents laugh it off as the ramblings of a crazy person. However, after entering the basement of the Smith household, the player comes across a stash of 'strange meat', which is revealed to be human flesh. After exiting the basement, the player is confronted by Andale's residents, attempting to kill (and presumably eat) them if they refuse to keep the town's secret. It is eventually uncovered that Andale has a history of heavy inbreeding, and a total rejection of outside society. For generations, the tradition of murdering and consuming outsiders has been passed down, making Andale one of the most sickening products of the post-apocalyptic world.
