Tenpenny s Journey

Post » Mon Apr 26, 2010 11:21 am

That doesn't change the fact that the sea would have changed drastically, and that not everyone is so lucky as to cross safely.


True, but he did cross safely, this is apparent as he is in the Capital Wasteland.

Through [censored] writing and Bethesdas love of horrible explanations.


This.

By Ship, such as a tanker like in Fallout 2 or maybe an old battleship.

I don't really think it make sense. Wasn't USA the only place with the Vaults, wouldn't the rest of the world just be Ghouls? I mean there probably were some Fallout Shelters but they weren't designed to keep humanity alive like the Vaults.

No, you realize he could just be lying to sound 'exqusite' or 'exclusive' right?

Hell, look at Fallout and see that one british guy who only had the accent because of an old story but he lies about it.

Vaults were mostly social experiments, most other countries would probably employ people who really intended to save humanity.

Well technically the US did, however a secret group extra-governmental organisation decided differently. Regardless, almost all of the human population on the mainland are not from Vault decent so I don't see the point. People hide whereever they can.

Vaults were not the only way people survived the Great War. May survived in bunkers, military bases, caves, subways, tunnels, fallout shelters and basemants. All but 17 vaults were meant to save people. On paper all the vaults were to save people.

Im 90% sure fo3 talks about vault tec vaults being in Canada. You can find info like this by "mindlessly exploring" mailboxs.

If my memory serves the letters from vault tec to potential customers tell them the DC vaults are full, but they would be put on a waiting list for some vaults in middle America or newly annexed Canada.

No telling what other governments did to ensure that everyone would not die. I m pretty sure everyone will not die anyway.

The people that built Megaton never made it to a vault

Rich people build there own shelters. Governments would tell people where the safest places to go would be.

Most scientists don t think everyone will die.

This is true if any other countries did work on ensuring that mass amount of people survived they probably had a better survival rate than the us.

If they did, I doubt it would be with a vault Project.... The costs are astronomical. in my view the Vaults needs some secondary motivation to become viable.

During a recent discussion about the rest of the world, Mr. Enclave provided very solid proof that Fo3 s Mr. Tennpenny did in fact migrate to the U.S.

Mr. Enclave provided a link to an interview with the lead developer of Fo3. In the interview he said that Tenpenny did come from the U.K., but they didn t have Tenpenny tell us his story, because the developers wanted to leave it up to our imaginations.


:confused: Yeah, just a nice excuse to not add some extra dialogue and story. Oh ok its not really a good excuse really.

They may have had bomb shelters.

One even wrote a book during the cold war about how he thought a nuclear war was winable. lol

There's a lot of ways Tenpenny could have come to DC.
As we don't know anything definite about the British Isles in the FO setting, we can't place a limit on his means of conveyance. He could have sailed, sure, but he could have come in an atomic-powered yacht. He might have come by plane. Or submarine. Who knows?

A better question would be why? Personally (this is all pure speculation), I think he's a spy. I think there was a lot more to destroying Megaton than just the view. And I wonder about his hiring of Talon Company (whose mission is said to be the destabilization of the wasteland) to kill you when he has his own troops. Then there's his interest in Ft Constantine. Makes me wonder.

I always thought that seeing how most people in the U.K live a small area around London. When they got nuked 95-97% of there population died and the fact that the country was so crappy that he made his way over here

Also, Moriarty in the bar in Megaton. He isn't 5th generation Irish, he wouldn't still have the accent. Which means either him, or his parents, came over from Ireland. Which begs the same question: how? If Moriarty and Tenpenny are crossing the Atlantic, you can bet others are too. Probably the Commonwealth have working boats? Or Canada?

Island hopping across the North Atlantic? It's certainly doable. Doubt the migration numbers would be in any meaningful numbers though. A treacherous route, especially in certain times of the year. We also don't know how the FEV, released by the Enclave in 2077 just before mankind nearly vanished, has affected sea life. The old legends of the kraken may very well be closer to the truth now.

weren't there supposed to be monsters in Lake Mead? So in the Atlantic, you would have storms, huge waves, sea monsters - would take some courage, and warships, to make that trip.

My theory is that the UK has one or several advanced countries controllong it and Tenpenny (and possibpy Moriarty) or their ancestors decided to head to the US for many possibpe reasons. A plague, etc.

How could it be only 10% with if the place is targeted for distuction?

Millions and Milllions would have died. Over 75% of all people would die if a country was targeted for termination. Being an isle that small they would have alot of dead people. Maybe 10% lived.....

If sea monsters were such a big issue wouldnt the Enclave's 200 years of living on an oil rig be plagued with encounters of the creatures?
