Because it obstructed the view in the top of the tower. I'm not joking.
I looked into this because I was curious if there was any actual reason and the fallout wiki is claiming that the entire plan is Burke's idea Tenpenney is somehow so old, rich and senile he has turned into a moron that he's scapegoating? I don't really understand.
Yeah but there doesn't really seem to be any actual explanation as to why Burke wants to do any of this? His page is basically barren, all of this info is on Tenpenney's

I guess since it would make Tenpenny Tower into a better trade destination? It said something about trade in there.
Probably just because he's an evil moron.

He's just evil. From what I remember he describes the explosion as beautiful and if you talk to Tenpenny he says that Burke assured him everyone living in Megaton was moved somewhere else. Even if Tenpenny is dead and no one is paying him, Burke still wants to blow up Megaton because he just wants to watch the world burn.

Unless you played a female character with the Black Widow in which case he immediately abandons his evil plan to blow up the town and sends you simp poetry in the mail
Tenpenny is a caricature of rich, amoral tycoons may as well be a Mr. Burns type allegory. He just wants it blown up because the sight of Megaton offends him. In reality given the size of DC he would never be able to see it or it would be so faraway it'd be inconsequential. The funniest thing is if you allow Roy Phillips, the evil ghoul who murders innocent people for fun to kill Tenpenny, then decide to blow up Megaton, Burke and Roy literally make amends over their shared, psychopathic desire to see it nuked to high heaven.
I get that much, so what's the point of this 'actually Mr. Burke was the MASTERMIND that manipulated this POOR OLD MAN into wanting to blow up a town?' It adds complexity but both of them are saturday morning cartoon villains and there's no actual discernible motivation for it. The guy shoots at shit walking around with a sniper rifle, he's a complete piece of shit.

It's been a very long time since I've played 3 but I'm pretty sure that's just headcanon a fat idiot like Oxhorn would come up with.
From House's point of view, did he really expect the Courier to just solo one of the strongest factions in the Mojave? "Hey dude you got the boomers to join us. You are capable of slaughtering a group of power armored warriors in their base."
Given your ability to be resourceful in a myriad of ways, he probably assumed you'd figure out a way to quietly blow the base up while no one's looking.
I think its safe to assume that everyone who meets The Courier can tell he isn't some punk who can just get pushed around and will get things in done, in his own time or within a period of believability.
>Blow up Megaton >Let the ghouls inside the tower >Destroy the Enclave >Sabotage all water >Erase the rest of the Enclave >Blow up the BOS
Perfectly morally neutral
You get positive karma for helping a cute girl drug a soon to be priest, but evil karma for giving that middle-aged guy nuka cola quantum to give to that hot blonde chick
No
>act like a comic-book villain
>act like an average person
These are all your choices in Fallout 3, really.
The entirety of F3 feels like an episode of The Simpsons. None of the characters interactions or logic make any sense.
preferable to the garbage were being served now
Kinda sad to think there would come the day where Fallout 3 would almost look like a good in-depth RPG in comparison with newer products.
Blow up the Brotherhood of Steel first.
There is at least some logic to House's request while the Tenpenny shit is just cartoonishly evil.
I can't even remember what Tenpenny's motivation was.

Weird, I remember some gay on here giving the exact same argument about tenpenny the other day.

Fan written wikis are just cesspools of headcanon. I wouldn't take it seriously.

Ah, LGBT representation. The big B.
You using the TTW ai voiced Bittercup? She actually has a lot of lines that go along with the story and lots of locations.

Honestly if he wasn’t the protagonist he would probably cause people to piss themselves by his mere presence.
>Last guy who shot me in the head, I got out of my grave and had him nailed to a cross at a legion camp. Benny, something like that.
how do you even attempt to frick on someone who can say some shit like that and have it be true
Why do Moriarty and Tenpenny have foreign accents? How were they able to get to America?
Kind of funny how nobody cares if you kill him right there and then. Or at least nobody did when I did.
i wonder how many people he told to blow up megaton in that bar
there's no tv in the wasteland, people blow stuff up for amusement

>Let the ghouls inside the tower

*cums inside moira* sorry I don't think I will
Ghoul Moira pussy is better
I did it because I thought the explosion would be cool but it was pretty underwhelming.
>why?
i dunno, seems like fun lol
WTF WHY DID YOU LET ALL THE GHOULS IN TO KILL US
>i dunno, seemed like fun lol
Everything associated with Tenpenny Tower feels like someone in a state of delirium from a high fever was in charge of the script.
You get positive karma for helping a cute girl drug a soon to be priest, but evil karma for giving that middle-aged guy nuka cola quantum to give to that hot blonde chick

That's prime cutie material. Shame about the lack of any wits.
Sir yes sir! Glory to Allistair Tenpenny
