7. Tenpenny Tower Had Its Own Radio Station

For as iconic as the actual soundtrack of Fallout 3 is, it was only as effective as it was because it was framed around fictional radio stations broadcasting over the Capital Wasteland. Bethesda's game featured two main stations: Galaxy News Radio, hosted by DJ Three Dog (bow wow) and Enclave Radio, hosted by President John Henry Eden (more on him later), but a third was in development at one point.

Tenpenny Tower is a pretty significant area in the game, a place for affluent, well-off survivors living in luxury, a set up that lends itself well to a radio station. Set to be hosted by Allistair Tenpenny, the station was cut during development, but dialogue was still found in the game's files.

Apparently there was going to be a section called Tenpenny Truisms, full of the kind of life mottos you'd expect from a rich fella like Tenpenny.
