Way back, when I first went to Tenpenny Tower for the first time and ran into Roy at the gate phone, I felt like I was being set up for something, so I proceeded cautiously for a while without picking sides. After talking to the residents and hearing their opinions on the matter, I decided to let it slide for a while. I didn’t have the internet back then, so I had no idea what would happen one way or another. Well, my ambivalence turned out ok. I left them all alone and have had a set of good vendors there to trade with ever since. Occasionally it may be better to not jump onto some bandwagon just because some radio jock is off his rocker. Besides, I don’t like Ghouls.
After several characters and thousands of hours, this is still the best choice to address the situation as far as how it benefits my character. When your bloated dead carcass is floating belly up on the Potomac, it will be too late to ask why you couldn’t find another vendor to sell you some ammo before your trip to DC.
