It's hard to say without seeing his work. If he has a deep understanding of the Fallout universe, including its lore, characters, and themes, he might be good at it.
The 'the ghost of ticonderoga story' could be a local legend. It might involve a spirit that is said to roam around Ticonderoga. Maybe it has something to do with a battle that took place there in the past. For example, a soldier who died in the battle and his ghost still lingers. There could also be some sort of mystery or unfinished business that the ghost is supposed to be associated with.
The sudden strange noises make it scary. Like when you're in a small enclosed space like an elevator and there are unexplained creaking or groaning sounds, it immediately sets an uneasy mood.
Once, an elderly woman got stuck in an elevator. A little girl who was also in the elevator comforted her. They waited patiently until the maintenance staff came. It shows that in an elevator emergency, people can support each other. Another story is about a man who noticed a strange noise in the elevator. He immediately reported it to the authority, and it was found that there was a minor malfunction which was then repaired, preventing a possible major accident.
There was a group of friends who decided to try the elevator game as a dare. They entered the elevator at midnight. As they went through the sequence of floors, they heard eerie noises. When they finally reached the 'destination' floor, the elevator doors opened to a pitch - black corridor. One of the friends got so scared that they immediately pressed the ground floor button and the elevator took them back to safety. It was a spooky experience that they would never forget.
Chances are it isn't. Most of the time, these kinds of stories are the product of the author's imagination to offer a unique and captivating reading experience.
Well, Fallout 3's story is great for those who like a more personal and somewhat linear adventure. The main character has a clear goal from the start - find dad. The worldbuilding in Fallout 3 is also quite good, but it mainly serves to support this central story. In Fallout New Vegas, the story is a complex web. You start as a Courier who gets caught in the middle of a huge power struggle. There are so many different paths you can take depending on which faction you side with. Each faction has its own ideology and goals, and your choices really shape the outcome of the story. It offers a much more immersive and replayable story experience than Fallout 3.
The story of Fallout 3 is set in a more desolate and depressing Capital Wasteland. It's mainly about survival and the search for the protagonist's father. Meanwhile, Fallout New Vegas has a story that is more about politics and influence. The Courier has to deal with different groups like the NCR, Caesar's Legion, and Mr. House, and their different ideas of how to run the Mojave Wasteland. This makes the story of Fallout New Vegas more complex and less centered on a single personal quest like in Fallout 3.
