“It was a wonderful thing you did. Inspirational...Truly.”

Mister Burke is Allistair Tenpenny's right-hand man in 2277.

Background

Burke was born in 2221, making him 56 years old during the events of Fallout 3 in 2277. Mister Burke is first found spending his days at Moriarty's Saloon, drinking and talking to Colin Moriarty or asking Gob, the ghoul bartender, questions such as: what is it like being a ghoul, the effects of radiation on his body, and what it's like to live among the non-irradiated populace. He also likes to eat at the Brass Lantern, where he can keep an eye on the atomic bomb.[1]

Daily schedule

He can be found sitting in a chair in Moriarty's Saloon before the start of the quest The Power of the Atom. If the Lone Wanderer accepts the fusion pulse charge, he will go back to Tenpenny Tower once the task of re-arming the bomb is finished, and will wait for the Lone Wanderer to rendezvous with him. Alternatively, if the Lone Wanderer disarms the nuke, he will leave Moriarty's Saloon and travel back to Tenpenny Tower (this might take him a few days, and he may be killed in the wasteland); he will then spend all of his time in or on the same floor as his suite.

Mister Break

“Mister Break is a figment of your Punga-infused imagination. Isn't he? Yes, yes he is. Or is he? Yes, most definitely, he is. Right?”— Fallout 3 Official Game Guide, on Mister Break

Mister Break is a character found in the Sacred Bog area of Point Lookout. He is a part of the hallucination that occurs after the Lone Wanderer consumes punga seeds and is seen leaning against an atom bomb, similar to the Megaton bomb but much larger. After interacting with him, the bomb explodes, and the Lone Wanderer wakes up outside of the Sacred Bog. Mister Break is a delusional image of Mister Burke and his clothes are the same as Mister Burke's. When spoken to, he will respond in Tobar the Ferryman's voice (it is later revealed that it was indeed Tobar talking), and he gives a warning to not get up, saying "you might hurt yourself." Mister Break is an essential character.

Notes

  • Mister Burke has a house in Megaton next to the bomb in the middle of town, but he never goes there and doesn't even possess its key.
  • Mister Burke and Roy Phillips will have a special conversation on Tenpenny's balcony during which Mister Burke reveals his intentions to blow up Megaton, and Phillips expresses his shock if the player character decides to rig the bomb in Megaton and side with Roy Phillips during the Tenpenny Tower quest.
  • Stealing items from Mister Burke's house in Megaton does not result in Karma loss.
  • He is one of only nine named characters in the base game to have "Very Evil" Karma.
  • Strangely, if one attempts to kill Burke on Tenpenny Tower balcony, he will panic but not fight back, not even try to escape.
  • Mister Burke is absent from the Japanese release of Fallout 3 in order to remove the option of detonating the nuclear bomb in Megaton for sensitivity purposes.
  • If during the quest Tenpenny Tower the ghouls move in by the non violent option Mr. Burke is the only human who is not killed.
