Tenpenny and Burke....

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 10:13 am

So there I was , scotch in hand and a gaint mushroom cloud lighting up the night sky as if it were day , the city of megaton now a decaying radioactive pit . I was quite pleased with my accomplishments .

It was about one in the morning and Tenpenny was obviously tired so he toddled off to bed . Just to see how the AI in the game worked out , I followed him and he promptly hopped into his bed and fell asleep .

"Meh" I muttered and made my way to the door , but then the old man awoke and made his way out of the room , as if he had some sort of secret agenda . The guard was still posted outisde his suite and said hello as Allistair made his way into Burkes suite....and lay down next to him on the bed . They both fell asleep .

Is this some sort of creepy six thing going on between a psychotic weirdo and a creepy old man? Or is it just AI glitches? I mean , Tenpenny always seemed to speak highly of Burke , and since that somehwat disturbing night , I have seen the exact same thing happen once more .

Opinions?

I ashamed to admit I thought the exact same thing after watching them both retreat to the same quarters. Let the ghouls in and they can take care of the issue :P

It's probably just some random AI behavior, similar things sometimes would happen in Oblivion too. Often, when I sleep in guild halls in that game, I'd wake up to find another character also getting up off my bed beside me, it's even more creepy if I decide to take off my armor and strip naked before sleeping.

I think if Bethesda had meant for them to be homosixual, they'd have included a few more hints than that, but nothing too obvious, since as we know, putting drugs you can become addicted to is fine, letting you blow people's head's off is fine, even making jokes about heterosixual six is fine, but the moment obvious references to homosixuality appear, it's evil!

Of course, Bittercup, who is female, DID at one point seem to be flirting with my female character, so who knows?

But Bittercup's not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer. In the kitchen. In the house. In the neighborhood. In the State. In the Country...

Yeah, Bittercup's...Bittercup.

Pretty much this. Although, hey, it would be cool if Tenpenny and Burke were an item. I think there is a nice lisbian Ghoul couple in Underworld anyway...Carol and Greta? Greta made a point of warning my female character away from the apparently irresistible Carol. As if I'd cheat on Bittercup....:P
