Roy Phillips

Roy Phillips is a Ghoul in Fallout 3. He is wearing a Bramhin Skin Outfit and has a Chinese Assault Rifle. He frequently attempts to achieve permanent, or at the very least temporary residence in Tenpenny Tower. Unfortunately, the affluent residents of Tenpenny Tower abhor ghouls, considering them to be worthless and unpleasant. Many of Tenpenny's inhabitants fear that Roy is plotting to launch a full scale attack on Tenpenny Tower with his small group of followers and a horde of feral ghouls. The Vault 101 Dweller can either choose to cull Roy and his followers, or assist them in seizing the Tenpenny Tower. Both of these options result in bad karma. Roy is initially hostile towards the Vault 101 Dweller, although he comes to respect the mysterious dweller if his makeshift force is victorious. However, after the attack, the already derelict building is left in total disarray, perhaps ruining the sense of paradise Roy originally perceived the building as.

The alternative "good karma" outcome is not satisfying. It is possible for the player to convince the Tenpenny Residents to allow the ghouls to live with them (although not recommended for reasons explained momentarily). This involves 4 speech challenges if the player only wishes to receive good karma; although if mixed karma is deemed suitable, the player can forgo 3 of 4 speech challenges. This is done by discovering a love letter in a resident's room which demonstrates an adulterous affair among two tower residents. Bringing this letter to the attention of the wife of one of the residents results in a killing spree eliminating the need for 3 such speech challenges (1 is still necessary). Convincing the residents to allow the ghouls to share the tower (using speech challenges) results in no initial deaths and the player receives "good karma." HOWEVER, this peace is short lived. Almost immediately, Roy Phillips kills Mr. Tenpenny and explains to the player that he had a "disagreement" with him. The player can see blood on the bathroom walls and floor of Mr. Tenpenny's suite. If the player leaves Tenpenny tower and returns 48 hours later, all the human residents are gone. When questioned, it is revealed that Roy Phillips killed all the human residents and put the bodies in the basement (which can also be seen by the player). Roy Phillips states that they "had it coming" (despite the fact that they willingly let the ghouls in - after the speech challenges) and states that no one is fully innocent or guilty in the wasteland. If the player chooses to kill Roy Phillips to avenge the innocent deaths of the former residents, the player nonetheless receives bad karma. If the player chooses to kill all the ghouls in the tower to avenge the former residents, the player receives bad karma for each kill.
