| “ | I already got a plan. They think I'm a monster. I'll show them the real monsters! We'll unleash our feral brethren on them; all those bigoted sons-of-bitches will get torn apart. Trouble is getting past the damn subway access door! You see, there's some kind of escape door that leads from the Tenpenny basement to the subway tunnels. There must be some way to get that open. | „ |

Roy Phillips is a minor antagonist of the 2008 Bethesda game, Fallout 3. Serving as an antagonist of the quest Tenpenny Tower, Philips leads his pack of rapid ghouls in his revenge against the inhabitants of Tenpenny Tower.
He was voiced by Mike Rosson.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Roy Phillips has a rather petty motivation for his actions, being motivated solely by him not getting to live in the luxurious tower.
- Suggesting unleashing the feral ghouls on the inhabitants of Tenpenny Tower. The Lone Wanderer will accompany Roy Philips in his plan depending on player choice.
- If the Lone Wanderer helps Roy murder the inhabitants of Tenpenny Tower but hasn't blown up Megaton yet, Roy endorses Mr. Burke's plan to trigger the nuke thus destroying Megaton. Although Roy Phillips does have the power to prevent this, he deliberately looks the other way, an indication that he's perfectly fine with Mr. Burke nuking Megaton and having its inhabitants killed off (except Moira Brown, who survived out of sheer luck, but turned into a ghoul) out of sheer spite for humans.
- Additionally, he doesn't spare Mr. Burke out of respect. He merely spares him out of fear that Mr. Burke will get revenge on him, assuming that Alistair Tenpenny was killed at the hands of the feral ghouls. Hence, he lets Mr. Burke nuke Megaton, just to add up to his personal body count and quench his bloodlust. And his excitement shows how depraved he is, hence why he orchestrates in allowing Mr. Burke to devastate Megaton.
- If the player suggests a non-violent solution to the Tenpenny Tower quest, such as finding residents who have no problems with ghouls moving in, Roy still murders the entirety of Tenpenny Tower anyway, showing that he lacks any and all positive morals within the Wastelands.
- After revealing his crimes to the Lone Wanderer, Roy threatens to murder the Wanderer too if the Wanderer doesn't do what he says.
- While it seemed like Roy was written to be viewed as an extremist who was fighting for the rights of ghouls, his actions and overall hypocrisy diminish any positive traits Roy may have had going for him. What's ironic is that he has Good Karma, which severely contradicts his obvious, reprehensible actions committed, and it's never explained how Roy got Good Karma in the first place.
- He also doesn't seem to care about his own kind, if at all, as he isn't shown to react to their deaths which is a common trope for characters in the Fallout series when a loved one/good friend dies, which only displays his obvious hypocrisy.
Trivia[]
- He is the sole Pure Evil character in the Fallout series to have Good Karma, with these reasons left unexplained.
