Leads me to think that Burke has a legendary reputation for being a brutal gun for hire and being completely remorseless. Of course, having came from the vault, to us he is some mysterious guy in a suit. I guess by nature of the fact he was quite happy to blow up an entire town because he had been told to kinda shows that. Had that town been Chicago, I am not so sure his actions would be a bad thing.

[@fees456]

Never side with Roy Phillips he’s a snake in the grass. I spent time going back and forth making deals/ peace between the Tenpenny residents and ghouls resulting in( the option to let the ghouls move in with the residents peacefully without having to kill anyone and completed the quest). I left to do other quests and didn’t revisit Tenpenny tower for awhile and when I came back to Tenpenny tower to trade much farther into the game after doing two dlcs/ multiple quests I noticed that all of the human tenants and guards had disappeared even Tenpenny and there were a lot more ghouls in the tower now. After investigating you are casually told by one of the named ghoul traders that Roy Phillips and the other ghouls had a disagreement with some of the human residents so they killed all of the human residents in the tower and piled their looted bodies up in the basement. Naturally I shot every ghoul in Tenpenny tower in the head after that.

[@normaaliihminen722]

Yeah. I a agree. it is kinda ruins your whole job of convincing them allow totally unknown people to your paradise only to them to kill them and betray your trust. I would rather support status quo or kill Roy.

If you mean Burke, you gain karma. If you mean Roy, he's the closest thing ghouls have to an activist. Underworld is basically insular and trapped, and most other ghouls are abused. Tenpenny Tower is run by a bigot, and many of the residents are not exactly inclined to welcoming them. Megaton is a great town for smoothskins, but any ghoul is gonna notice the busiest place in town has the equivalent of a ghoul slave serving at the bar.

The sad part is that if you do this, you'll lose both homes in the game. I tried to do a very evil plan where I basically screw everyone over in the Tenpenny vs. Roy deal, with this particular scene being the outcome. The suite becomes inaccessible after the ghouls are allowed in.

[@kapinphalcon]

That is true, but there is one other opportunity to get a home base if you have the Mothership zeta DLC. You can't get any of the home furniture like the Nuka cola machine or work bench, but beating the DLC will still give you a small home base with a safe place to store equipment

[@nicnicvis]

My problem with this part of the game is that it's just shock value mostly. We never really get to know Tenpenny and why he really wants to get rid of Megaton. We never really get to know Burke. There's never a convincing reason to actually blow up Megaton, except just to try it because it's in the game. Also, it's so easy to do. Too easy. I feel like this could have been a whole quest line. Tenpenny wants the people of Megaton out because he's an elitist bastard, but he has you do small jobs for him. Or maybe he gives the jobs to Burke, and Burke gives them to you. Small stuff like poisoning the water, stealing the food, destroying the outer wall to let in monsters, etc. The idea being that Tenpenny is trying to scare off the townspeople. Finally, Tenpenny decides to go the literal nuclear option, and he tries to convince you that because the people were willing to live in mud and muck no matter how bad it got, they're really just animals and not worth "saving" by scaring them off, so they have to die. And because you've gotten your hands dirty this whole time, you're now more invested in whether to do what Tenpenny wants or to stop him.

Karma isn't so much a score of actual morality in the game as a score of your reputation in the Capital Wasteland. Before Roy Phillips slaughters the residents of Tenpenny Tower, people think he's a good-hearted activist, so they'll think less of you for killing him. Of course, he eventually shows his true colors, which ought to switch his Karma to Very Evil, as everyone knows what kind of person he really is after that. But I guess the developers couldn't make that happen.

[@benaldridge6341]

Everyone shits on this game now. To me it's still something entirely unique. First time I made it out of the vault I was like 12 when playing and I was quite scared of what I might meet.

Before long I reached the super duper mart and sought shelter inside. When I saw the raiders walking along the shelving my heart dropped and so did I to the floor. This game really made me feel like someone sheltered from the apocalypse just to be thrust right into the middle of it.

It's cool to see how encounters change in these scenarios most people never got to see, I got every achievement in fallout 3 and visited pretty much every location and I never thought to do this, honestly for my playthrough where I actually sided with Roy for once I was disgusted having to look at only ghouls every time I went back to my home. Reloaded an older save to fix my mistake

Why does Burke attack you for staring at him?

He has the ghoul mask

[@simonnachreiner8380]

They went through all the work of recording this (in the goddamn same alphabetical Bethesda monotone) only to write both characters with no conviction loyalty or backbone who just go along because the plot demands it.

[@danielauen7790]

You know, Ive never once nuked megaton. Dont plan to either. Moiras kinda fun.

[@LurkMorrison]

*spoiler* Moira survives. She instantly becomes a ghoul. You find her when you approach Megaton afterwards and she heads off to Underground, IIRC.

I find it ironic that you lose karma for killing Roy Phillips and his ghouls while helping him into the tower either way results in mass murder and karma gain (for one of the options anyway).

After seeing this, I am so happy I killed Roy. I understand him being angry at tennpenny tower, but killing all of megaton too. That's too much

[@cbhensoncbhenson5515]

The fact that Roy straight up endorses nuking Megaton even further justifies me killing his ass in every playthrough.

[@nathan_something]

How exactly do you get this scene? Obviously you have to keep Mr. Burke alive somehow... but how do you do this in detail?

[@TopGameWorld]

Do the quest in tenpenny tower either before begining "The Power of Atom" (Megaton) quest or even before visiting Megaton ☢

[@nathan_something]

@@TopGameWorld Thank you so much.

[@thatstrangeguy292]

Holy shit, Mr Burke is the gigachad we didn't ask for but what we needed, he fucking treat a tower of zombies with only his small gun, balls of steel my guy.

[@ninten90z70]

The entire Tenpenny Tower quest line from the bomb in Megaton to the ghouls wanting inside teaches a valuable lesson to the player. Not everything is your business, not every person's problem is your problem. Sometimes, the best thing to do is nothing.

[@ricardoricardoricardoricardo]

Well said!

[@reesetorwad8346]

👍 Thx, never saw this. If you still have that save, may I suggest trying again but this time after detonation and reward, leave Tenpenny Tower (go inside and take elevator down, go outside and fast travel away) then wait for a few days, then come back and see if: 1. Burke still alive and hostile, or 2. Burke still alive and now friendly (or at least neutral,) or 3. Burke vanished, or 4. Burke dead, in the basement, stripped. Asking for a friend. (Last playthru a few months ago I wacked Moriarty first thing without even talking to him (f**k his bs,) then went questing a few days, came back and all hostility had dissipated.) Wouldn't it be funny to go to Rivet City and have Burke show up there hunting you? Maybe with new dialogue? Tho I suppose you could just look in game files for that. I always wack Burke when he draws on Sheriff Sims, would do so even without the rewards (Silenced 10mm, Business Suit, Sunglasses,) just because.

[@GyorBox]

I had my toddler son and daughter push the button to detonate the bomb. I just reloaded the save just before so I could do it again. They laughed and squealed, as only toddlers do. I helped my kids Nuke their very first cities! Such a proud daddy moment for me..

[@otroweonllamadoseba]

Tenpenny tower is peak Fallout 3 honestly. They bait you to think that this another case of "poor ghouls being discriminated" just to later find out that Ghouls killed everyone for a dispute. And then you have this, Roy being ok with a whole damn city being destroyed just because he believes his suffering justifies his actions.

[@WhoJizzedInYourMilkshake]

I remember the first time I met them I had already found underworld and thought they must be evil if underworld wouldn't let them in

[@ashkash8686]

now that is something isn't it? never would have guessed there would be that custom dialogue. guess they tried to think of everything.

[@Skipmunk85]

do you already know about the guy in Megaton who you can only reach by glitching that's confused as to how you reached them? It's amazing what they thought of honestly

[@ashkash8686]

@@Skipmunk85 yep good ol Stockholm. Made it up there one day to see for myself lol

[@hcolider2817]

They probably had some sort of logic chart or something where they would just check through every condition involved in that location. Problem with it is that besides the dialogue and interactions, they apparently weren't that thorough about it.

[@Hedberger91]

Remember, always burn Phillips and the ghouls no matter the play through

[@Hedberger91]

Also, fuck three-dog for siding with the ghouls

[@caseyjones5326]

Why did he turn hostile? xD

[@Shnitzel47]

Probably a bug. I think he'll turn hostile if you let the ghouls in. He and Roy patched things up through dialogue, but I guess the game forgot to tell Mister Burke that.

[@adamkc0]

@@Shnitzel47 I was going to praise bethesda for putting in that whole conversation with roy and burke but of course they fudged it somehow.

[@viciousrape]

@@adamkc0 to be fair, they've done a lot of work on this particular game when it comes to the many different ways scenarios can play out. there's things people are still finding out about the game that you can do. like half a year ago or so I think it was, I heard some crazy shit about the Antagonizer that had only ever been done by that one individual

[@ThePancakeRenegade]

Sorta hopped from settlement to settlement in Fallout, doing the quests there and then moving on. Never had any reason to even be near the Tenpenny Tower in really the rest of the game, so I never knew that Roy eventually betrays the Tenpenny Residents until seeing this video just now.

[@austinlockwood8818]

At this point, Burke doesn't have the authority to give you a room in the tower anymore. This story outcome clearly wasn't very planned out. Still cool to see it though

[@Taospark]

I mean if Roy is cool with Burke then he'd still have his room.

[@HugoRBMarques]

Burke's motivations make no sense at this point. He and Tenpenny wanted to blow up Megaton apparently because it's a haven of filth. But Roy, and a bad of ghouls, the epitome of filth in Burke's mind, take over the mansion and kill everyone and Burke's cool with that? "Water under the bridge"? Bullshit.

[@thelonecourier3439]

@@HugoRBMarques actually tenpenny just voiced that megaton was blocking the view but truly it was burke that executed the plan.

[@Lajos_Kelemen]

How in the FUCK does Roy Phillips have good karma I will never understand, the guy is just a zombie looking version Tenpenny.

[@Bbbbbbbbbbhhhhhhh]

Not really, because tenpenny was right not to trust the ghouls clearly. Tenpenny was not a bad guy at all, because he could be reasoned with to some extent to even allow the ghouls in there, he was simply fearful of things that would happen and he ended up being correct. So Tenpenny was a ten times better person than Roy.

[@almightyk11]
