Forum:Deathclaw inside the gate at Tenpenny Tower

I have completed Fallout 3 with both good karma and bad karma and I am now playing through for the third time. As a level 12 with neutral karma I fast traveled home to Tenpenney Tower and when I arrived there was a barrage of gunfire occuring from within the perimeter wall. I quickly ran over and pressed the intercom to open the gate and noted there was no verbal response from Chief Gustov. To my amazement the gate opened and a female Tenpenny resident came running out screaming followed immediately to my surprise by a Deathclaw. I quickly threw out a bottle cap mine and finished it with the Xuanlong assault rifle. I laughed when the Tenpenny woman exclaimed "that will teach you to mess with me" while still in the cowering position. When I went inside the gate the I found that Chief Gustov and all exterior security personnel had been mauled to death by the Deathclaw. Has anybody else ever experienced this? I love this game.

Interesting. I haven't and have never heard of this, I always play through with bad karma (So funny to be mean) but I'll have to try this since it sounds pretty funny. Coldwars40 18:54, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

If you save far outside of the gate and then keep walking in and reloading, you'll eventually get the random encounter Deathclaw. I'm impressed it spawned *inside* the gate though, I've had that same encounter and it was trapped outside the gate, and they didn't open up to engage it, gate stayed shut until I clicked the speaker. I wonder if you can get the random encounter on the very first time you walk up to the tower, with Roy outside, I bet it would kill him. --AshRandom 02:17, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
