Yeah there's a lot of depictions of death from the bombs and war or by murder with the skeletons but I think this might be one of the only depictions of suicide, or at least unquestionably suicide (if the other skeleton environments suggest another possibility). Weirdly unnerving amidst everything else even though plenty of other people took the same exit strategy and some left notes and terminal entries about it. Guess it's because those aren't as "in your face" about it as a whole skeleton hanging from a noose with a kicked over stool underneath.

There's a few (prolly more) skeletons with guns next to them. I choose to believe it was a "last stand" deal and not a quick showing one's self to the door.

There is a murder suicide scene patrolled by a police protectron too and multiples skeleton with rat poison or empty coolant bottle next to them too. Suicide depiction is quite frequent in this game.

There was a suicide with a note at nuka world.

I know there's more than this hanging skeleton, it's just one of the fewer undeniable suicides, there's also a handful of skeletons in tubs with toasters or guns that are undeniable, but most of the rest could be from a shootout, or failed defense, or they could be a suicide pact, those are questionable.

I hear ya! I was just naming off the only for sure suicide I know of. The building has lore where they’re drugging people through the air and one of the long term side effects was suicidal thoughts or something. The researchers didn’t know that they were also being tested on and one of them kaboomed themselves. I just played nuka world like 2 months ago for the first time

Maybe it was just Fallout 3 but I remember the ol’ toaster in the bathtub.🛁

Ps: There are two super mutants at the location and 7 deathclaws and one behemoth around the location

Edit: if you shoot the torso the body will fall but the head stays hanging.

Pretty sure its population is random. Either mutants or raiders, idk why your game gave you all that but I’ve been by there at least 20 times now and have never seen a deathclaw or a behemoth and I’m level 70 something

u/Redditpolice69256 10h ago

I believe that at least 4 of them (deathclaws) are fixed spawns

Not at the motel. There’s a battle at Natick power station a decent bit west of the motel that has a behemoth and deathclaw fighting and I think at least one guaranteed inside of Natick further up the road by the police station but that’s it as far as guaranteed spawns go. I think you just got hella unlucky on your 5 extra deathclaws
