I like to RP an evil genius. My current character for instance is prodigally inteligent and perseptive, giving her the ability to read people and manipulate them however she sees fit. I maxed out her speech and charisma and gave her the black widow perk so she can fully control just about anybody she meets. She's an ambitous girl who would never blow up megaton because she wants to rule the place not destroy it. She dissarmed the bomb but only when she could gaurantee that she would be able to get the maximum reward out of simms. She then proceeded to kill Simms and Moriarty so she could be in charge. Jericho also died because he's too unpredictable and really the only other person in Megaton who could be a threat. Gob is easily controlled so she'll just leave him in charge of things when she's off earning her keep as a slaver. I also just downloaded a slavery mod that I'm itching to try out so Harden Simms may be taking a little trip to Paradise Falls soon, just in case he's thinking of getting revenge for his father. Tenpenny tragicly lost his head and "fell" from his balcony. He's a powerful man who wanted to destroy her little kingdom so he had to go. Also various other little things like It's not about blatantly slaughtering every one and blowing stuff up (although that's fun too :chaos: ), it's about the things that nobody ever sees. An out of control psychopath may be frightening but there's nothing more terrifying than an intelligent and calculating sadist.

That's actually another source of annoyance with FO3, in that there is a Contract Killer perk, but you do not actually receive any Contracts to inhume particular NPCs. IMO it would have been good, if as a part of the employment you can get from the perk, it also opened up a faction quest, similar to the Morag Tong in TES III; and the Dark Brotherhood in TES IV.
