Those silly hitmen. : Fallout 3

» Thu May 03, 2012 11:57 am

I was playing fallout 3 yesterday on a new game. And as soon as I got out of the vault I walked maybe 50 feet before 3 mercenaries wearing black began attacking me. After barely defeating them all I checked their corpses to find a note from Mr. Tenpenny that said something along the lines of "Find Drake and show him why you dont mess with tenpenny." I was like wut. I'm scared to go to the tower now

Welcome to the Forums!

Did you go to Megaton and complete any quests?

One of them (no spoilers) makes Allstair Tenpenny (Mr. Tenpenny) very angry to the point where he will attempt to kill you with hitmen.

However he will not react negatively to you at all when meeting him.

I have occured mercs outside of Vault 101, if you leave and hang a right, they spawn there sometimes. As for the note, I can't explain why they would carry that. Just ignore it.

It's a character named Mr.Burke that sends the hitmen after you in the name of Mr.Tenpenny

I've had this glitch before on 360, on one character whose game seemed glitchy for some reason. Spoiler as to what is supposed to happen. --->

Spoiler

This should happen only after you have done a very obvious quest regarding a bomb in Megaton, and you chose to be good. The hitmen are a one-time attack. Depending on your karma level as you move forward, will determine which faction hates you and tries to kill you. If you are neutral, no one will try to kill you, at least from the two attack factions: Talon and regulators.

So chalk it up to a glitch, thank the :bowdown:

Glitch Gods for giving you great gear early on and move on.

I killed dem foos. Was hopin' fer mo to sho up. They look like bums. Couldn't Burke & Tenpen find better help then that? They shoulda' just sent them Ghouls after me. That woulda' gotten rid of the Ghoul problem they had fer sho.

Ohhh, you know what. You might be right, I did in fact (Somewhat maybe spoiler) defuse the bomb. I guess that was it. And thank you for welcoming me :smile:

Welcome to the world of Marked men. Once you level up they won't be so bothersome, he doesn't hate me....he's dead, I helped the ghouls get into the tower, PEACEFULLY, I was just a budding wanderer in the wastes and naive to believe the ghouls would let the humans live.

If your karma is good they come after you if it is bad the regulaters come after you and if your nutural ni one comes after you
