Some characters exhibit alcoholism, such as Cassidy. The player may also consume alcohol and become physically dependent on it.

There are dogs which have visible brains due to cyber-netic implants, though the term abuse is debatable here as it keeps them alive.

Randomly generated animals are encountered by the player as they go around the game, and these animals are usually heavily mutilated or distorted due to the radiation that surrounds them, e.g a nightstalker is a type of dog that has been merged with a rattle snake.

In a DLC called 'Old World Blues' the character can find a basement where it is heavily implied animals have been tortured and experiment on here. In the same DLC players can splice a dog with a human or a robot.

The player and other Non-Player Characters can kill the animals roaming the game's universe.

Although there is no trace of fish or any other aquatic creatures in the game that can cause damage, many pools of water across the game are radiated. The radiation has negative effects on player and although it doesn't cause direct damage, it can make the character weaker due to excessive radiation exposure.

Homophobic, sexist, ableist language is frequent in this game. There are no racial slurs.

Humans, animals and almost every killable entity in the game (excluding robots) bleed.

There are severally mutilated human beings that have been deformed by radiation, e.g. centaurs and ghouls. Some are non-sentient and attack on sight, and some can be talked to, so the camera focus's on their faces which are quite mutilated.

Non-animate skeletons can be found across the universe, along with the still alive ghouls which look very skeleton-like.

Some mentions of brainwashing via white noise can be found in the game's universe.

The White Glove Society, located on the New Vegas strip, were once cannibals. A major mission involves investigating someone who wishes to revive their old practices. The player can choose to allow the cannibalism to occur and can even sacrifice one of their companions for the banquet.

Cannibalism is a perk that characters can take, allowing them to consume dead humans for health.

There are some rooms in the game which are rather small. Buildings are destroyed and dark which can created a claustrophobic atmosphere.

If submerged in a body of water for too long, the Player Character can drown.

The zap glove is a weapon that allows the player to electrocute enemies.

Explosions often occur in the game. This ranges from great explosion of the nuclear bomb that set the atmosphere of the games to a mini nuke launcher you can carry around in your inventory and simple grenades or bottlecap bombs.

Sometimes when people are shot their eyes come out of their head.

A prostitute implies that a group called the Legion are very homophobic, and a character in the NCR implies that homosexual behavior is frowned on in the NCR.

Giant insects can be fought in game, e.g Giant Mantis. A mod exists that replaces most insects with ghouls [here http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/49800/].

Although there are no scripted jump scares, the player can be scared by certain enemies which normally stay in a low profile pose only to rise up when the player comes near, e.g. Giant mantises hide in the foliage of a flora-infested Vault only to strike when the player lets themselves be known.

This happens in a DLC called Old World Blues, the character is taken against their will and experimented on.

The player can also kidnap someone for a group of cannibals, who have kidnapped someone else before hand.

It is implied that slaves are raped, and one character jokes about being 'ass raped'.

Prostitutes, male, female, and ghoulified, are all wearing extremely provocative clothing. A lot of them are strippers and pole dancers as well, and their only reason for being in the game is to dance in front of the player. Players can pay certain prostitutes (mostly women) to have sex with them.

The game sexualizes women, e.g. a clothing composed of pants and a white t-shirt unexplainably changes to pants and a tank top if a female character were to wear it.

There are many slaves in the legion that are implied to have been used for sexual slavery.

One prostitute states they wish they could stop being a prostitute, but due to someone blackmailing her she can not stop.
