Gametitle-FO3

Il Signor Burke è un'uomo misterioso che si può incontrare nel Saloon di Moriarty a Megaton. E' il braccio destro di Allistair Tenpenny, che vuole distruggere la città tramite la detonazione della bomba. Tuttavia, non si sa se sia sotto il completo controllo di Tenpenny o se sta manipolando le persone per i suoi obiettivi.

Storia

Burke nasce nel 2221. La morte di Burke è legata alle scelte del giocatore.

Note

  • Se il giocatore avverete Lucas Simms dei suoi piani, Simms correrà al saloon per arrestare Burke. Mentre stanno per andarsene dal locale, Burke sparerà alle spalle di Simms con la sua Pistola da 10mm silenziata, uccidendo lo sceriffo in tre colpi consecutivi.
  • Il giocatore può salvare Simms uccidendo Burke prima che abbia la possibilità di sparare. Burke è più resistente della media degli uomini nella Zona Contaminata, quindi i giocatori alle prime armi potrebbero trovare delle difficoltà nell'ucciderlo con un solo colpo in S.P.A.V. (anche usando colpi alla testa), sopratutto con la pistola da 10mm. E' consigliabile per risolvere questo problema iniziare ad attaccare Burke mentre sta parlando con Simms; in questo modo Burke inizierà ad attaccare il giocatore, disinteressandosi di Simms. Dopo, Simms ringrazierà lo stesso il giocatore per avergli salvato la vita, nonostante non sia mai stata messa in pericolo.
  • Per evitare il pericolo di morte di Simms, il giocatore può uccidere Burke senza avvertire Simms dei suoi piani. Non c'è alcuna perdita di karma o di aggressione da parte della città per la sua uccisione. D'altra parte, non c'è alcuna ricompensa per il salvataggio di Simms oltre che la sua gratitudine, mentre il suo corpo nasconde la chiave della sua casa, vestiario unico e un fucile d'assalto cinese.
  • Burke possiede anche una casa a Megaton vicino alla bomba, nel centro della città. E' bloccata Molto Difficile (100 Scasso). Non ci sono oggetti interessanti, le uniche cose degne di nota sono un paio dei suoi occhiali, un cappello e un Fucile a canne mozze.
  • When attempting to save Simms from Burke, he will attack the player unarmed if his pistol is shot out of his hands. (confirmed PC, PS3).
  • Burke will often pickpocket items (such as Stimpaks) from the player as they walk near him in Tenpenny Tower. Those items can be pickpocketed back, or Burke can be killed and the items can be looted from his corpse.
  • If the player wants something out of Mr. Burke (such as his items, the optional dialogue, or whatever) they need to talk to him before disarming the bomb or else he will vanish and place a hit on them.
  • When killing someone in front of Burke, he will ironically remark "Some people have no respect for the sanctity of life." This is probably a joke, as he is asking the player to detonate a nuclear device in the middle of a densely populated, civilized town, a rare thing to see in the Capital Wasteland.
  • Similarly, after witnessing a death, he may say "Natural selection, at its finest." Which is more typical of him to say.
  • If the player is female and has the Black Widow Perk she can seduce him and he will refer to her as his lover and run to Tenpenny Tower in order to negotiate Tenpenny out of blowing up Megaton. After that he will send love letters to Colin Moriarty to give to the player (four in total), promising he will send for the player and that they can run away together. The player can pick them all up at once if they don't go to the saloon for a while. In the final letter he will break up with the player, and she will not hear from him anymore in the game.
  • He can be enslaved with the Mesmetron but will try to escape immediately setting off the explosives in the collar.

Related Quests

Articolo principale: The Power of the Atom

He can give the Lone Wanderer access to Tenpenny Tower in exchange for installing a Fusion Pulse Charge inside Megaton's bomb.

If the player does not follow Mr. Burke's method of completing this quest, Talon Company hitmen may show up at random encounters, and try to kill him/her. If the player loots their bodies, they will find contracts to hunt and kill them, signed by Burke. This is different, however, from Talon Company mercenaries, who will come after the player when they have good Karma, regardless of their actions in Megaton.

Female players with 'black widow' perk get two special dialog options with Burke - they can claim they live in Megaton and Burke will change his plans, or they can persuade him to pay an extra 500 caps for rigging the bomb without the need to pass a speech check.

Note that The Power of the Atom** quest is still available from Burke even if Roy Phillips has killed Alistair Tenpenny and taken over Tenpenny Towers. After installing the Fusion Pulse Charge and traveling to Tenpenny Towers, the player will find Roy Phillips and Mr. Burke speaking on Tenpenny's balcony. Phillips is intimidated by Burke and his ability to infiltrate the Ghoul-controlled Tower, and allows Burke to detonate the bomb and destroy Megaton. This act impresses Phillips so much that he hires Burke as his new right-hand man.

Alternate versions

Mr. Burke does not exist in the Japanese version of Fallout 3, thus disabling the "detonate the bomb" option in The Power of the Atom as the player cannot get the Fusion Pulse Charge under any circumstances.[1] The player can get the love letters if the Black Widow perk is used.

Appearances

Mr. Burke at Moriarty's Saloon

Burke appears only in Fallout 3.

Mister Break

Mister Break is a NPC in the Sacred Bog area of the DLC Point Lookout. He is part of the hallucination that occurs after the player consumes the Punga Seeds and is seen leaning against an atom bomb, similar to the Megaton bomb but much larger. If the player interacts with him the bomb explodes and they wake up outside of the Sacred Bog. Mister Break is a delusional image of Mister Burke. His clothes are the same except for his Tortiseshell Glasses. When spoken to he will respond in Tobar the Ferryman's voice (it is later revealed that it is indeed Tobar talking to the player) and he gives a warning to not to get up, saying "you might hurt yourself."

Behind the scenes

Burke is the name of an upper-middle class town in Virginia south of Fairfax and Annandale, i.e., roughly where Tenpenny Tower would be.[2]

Bugs

  • If you shoot at Mr.Burke while he is talking to Simms, he will pull out his gun. If you shoot the pistol out of his hands and then pick it up off of the ground, he may pull out a duplicate pistol which you can also shoot out of his hands, giving you two silenced pistols.
  • It is possible for when after doing the Tenpenny Tower quest and let the Ghouls take over Tenpenny Tower when you go back while the Ghouls are living there, Mr.Burke will be up by Tenpennys Suite unhostile to you or the ghouls and unable to engage in combat just saying "You should be proud."
  • It is possible that when you first enter Megaton, Burke will be glitched in such a manner that he "sits" outside of Craterside Supply as if there were a chair there, in the same way he's supposed to sit in Moriarty's Saloon. Burke will not automatically engage the Lone Wanderer in a conversation as is the case in Moriarty's.
  • A random bug will cause Mr.Burke to wear nothing. After 1 hour he will appear with his clothes. This bug rarely happens and only occurs in Moriarty's Saloon if you deny his request and come back later.
  • It is possible that upon entering Megaton for the first time, you may witness him sneaking around near the bomb. He can be engaged in conversation normally, as if he was sitting in Moriarty's Saloon. The Lone Wanderer must engage him in this conversation, as he will not automatically talk to the player like in the Saloon.
  • Even if Burke is killed before you ever set foot in Tenpenny Tower, such as during the confrontation with Lucas Simms, you may still find that hitmen specifically from the Tenpenny Tower quest possess notes signed by Burke commissioning your character's termination. You can still find these notes on them even if you used Black Widow on Burke and he is sending you love letters at the same time.
  • It is possible - especially on the PlayStation 3 version of the game - that if you kill Burke, then (after a long while) he may respawn back, and can be found standing beside the bomb if it is disarmed, though he cannot be engaged in conversation.
  • If you use pickpocketing to steal Mr. Burke's ammunition, he will draw his weapon to shoot Simms, then holster it over and over again. When you follow Simms outside, he falls down dead anyway.
  • It is possible when you go up the elevator in Tenpenny Tower that Burke will turn on you and start attacking. Just go down the elevator then back up and he will be friendly.
  • If you ignore Mister Burke or talk to him and don't want to blow up the bomb and then disarm it and then proceed to complete the quest by talking to Lucas Simms, Mr. Burke will almost always disappear, never to be found again for the duration of the game, the only way to prevent this is to blow up the bomb, where he will usually then hang around in Tenpenny Tower
  • If you try to talk to Lucas Simms and Mr. Burke while they discuss the conversation about Mr. Burke trying to blow up the town, they will tell you "they're busy" and "not now." Then both will walk outside instead of Mr. Burke killing Simms. When outside, Burke will tell you how you will regret not taking his offer. After finished with the dialogue, Lucas Simms will drop dead to the ground.
