As I creep my way through the streets of Lexington in Fallout 4, a nightmare scenario begins to unfold. Parts of a dilapidated house jut out onto the road before me, and a connecting steel structure with decaying windows sits overhead. The interior decor bleeds out from its crumbled walls, but most of the structure remains intact. I must pass the building in order to reach my quest destination, but I hear a sound that stops me in my tracks… and fills me with dread. I know what’s coming before I even see it. That’s the tell-tale groan of what I believe is the most fearsome enemy in the Commonwealth: the Feral Ghoul. One must be on the other side of the wall, and I begin to tense up in my seat.Â
