CoreXion Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Unsure where to put this, since it can be considered a mild spoiler as well as a possible bug. I have noticed this on more then one play through of the game, after a while all the residents of Tenpenny Tower seem to vanish. I side with the ghouls and after they take over the place is a mess, but they keep the shops open and live there. Then sometime after I leave I return and find the place is completely clean but there are no NPC's living there any more. Since this has happened more then once, I thought I might as well ask if this is normal and if anyone else has experienced this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm being completely serious here, look Upon returning to Tenpenny Tower, you will find human and ghoul residents living together. Inquiring among residents will indicate that both sides are getting along well. A few days later, however, all the human residents will be gone. Further investigation reveals that the human and ghoul tenants had a "disagreement", and that Roy Phillips decided to "take out the trash". The human residents have all been slaughtered, and their looted and stripped bodies dumped in the basement. Former residents of Tenpenny Tower such as Mr. Ling and Ms. Montenegro will also die and disappear at this point, even if they have moved to the entrance of Megaton. You may choose to kill Phillips and the other ghouls in Tenpenny Tower after learning this, but doing so will earn negative karma. taken from fallout wikia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoreXion Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 Well, I already knew about that since this is about my fifth play through of Fallout 3. After the ghouls take over however is where the oddness starts. At first the place looked a mess but there were still the ghoul merchants set up in the stores and I could buy things, as well as some wondering around. However now when I go in the place looks like nothing happened, but it is absent all NPC's. I did find two ghoul NPC's in pre-war clothes outside sitting at one of the tables, and then found old Roy upstairs in the penthouse area just chilling out. Only thing Roy would say was "Thanks for helping out" basically, and no other dialog options. I was wondering if it is an odd bug, since I seem to have a habit of finding such random things... such as NPC's suddenly moonwalking in various locations. It just struck me as odd that the place went from looking like a battle took place then completely spotless with almost all the NPC's gone, both human and ghouls. Humans I expected to be slaughtered, but the ghouls being MIA was strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethjunkie Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 It's not oddness. That's what happens when you let the ghouls in. Once you've left the tower after the onslaught, the ghouls clean up and restore the tower to the way it looked before the massacre. Bessie and Michael take over the stores, Roy goes upstairs and those couple of nameless ghouls hang out outside. The humans have all been slaughtered and the tower remains mostly empty.

BlackRampage Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 And that's why I always wipe out Roy Philips and his "gang". Seems to me that he's as much of a bigot as Tenpenny is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreXion Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Seems the game can't make up its mind however. I went through last night and found 4 ghoul NPC's, Roy Philips, Michael Masters, and the robot bartender but no Bessie anywhere inside or outside of Tenpenny Tower. I went in again and there was just Roy and Bessie chilling on the top floor with no additional NPC's around. Bessie and Michael were just wondering around and not running the stores, and no store options available via dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
