It was the very first mission I finished outside the vault as soon as you could do so. I then murdered the guy who gave me the mish and the old man.

Too many valuable resources. I have a place where my stuff is guaranteed not to be gone later if I leave it there, a fresh water dispenser, a bed that gets me well rested for free, and a bobblehead stand. Even though I've yet to find any bobbleheads, but when I do!

Not to mention a place to sell my junk when other vendors run out of caps. And getting 10 bottlecaps per scrap metal is better than one stimpack per 5.

I haven't nuked Megaton yet but I haven't reported Mister Burke, just in case I see a reason to later on.
However, the character I am currently playing (Gunny McGun) is something of a good guy, I can't help it! Doing evil makes me feel baaad :(

The only thing that really stopped me was that Megaton just happened to be where I was storing all my crap that I wasn't using at the moment. I wasn't sure what would happen to my weapons/armor/food/quest turnins if I did...

There should have been an option for,"yes on my first play through and it nearly ruined the game!". don't nuke it!

Oh God, I'm out of the loop here. I had no idea what game this was and I was reading through the comments, it seemed everybody knew. So I scroll down further to see what the fuss is about, and I see Tenpenny, and I'm like "Tenpenny didn't have his own tower in San Andreas". A little further and I saw this was about Fallout 3, haha.

Anyway, if I played the game, I would TOTALLY blow stuff up. Such a great feeling to have so much power! Oh, he can save us! And that's when I sink the knife in and say, "no u".

You can report him? I just kicked his ass until he died and then stole his sunglasses.

I thought about nuking it, but I was trying to get a high karma level.

I didn't nuke it. I'm taking my first (and only, so far) playthrough slooooooooooow, so I want to have a convenient place to trade and sleep. Tenpenny Tower is just too far from everything to be of any use.

Yeah if you talk to the sherrif, Lucas Simms (or something) after speaking to Mr Burke, an option comes up to tell him about Burke's nefarious scheme.
However, according to my friend, if you do report him, Mr Burke just ends up killing the sherrif and giving you a stern warning about crossing him - this might not be true, I haven't checked into it.

I store everything at an empty locker with the O'Reilly Rangers.

It is true. although you CAN take the hit for the sheriff and kill Burke. (Which I did. on my third playthrough)
oh and to answer your question, first time through, nope.(I was a good guy that time)
second. Yes. Then I proceeded to kill everything else.(Very. VERY, bad girl.)
third nope.(Found that it was harder to sell stuff at Tenpenny towers. Mainly because it wasn't near the middle of the map, like Megaton was.)

Y'know, this really belongs in the Fallout 3 thread.

I nuked it, though i made a point of getting the bobble head from the mayor's place and doing the few quests.
I mainly blew it up to kill one derranged mechanic. But alas she survived to annoy me for another day...

Yeah, I nuked it to see what happens, then reloaded my save point. It had cool effects, but you had to hate that damn tenpenny guy for laughing about it. I sniped his ass from his balcony later on for revenge...

AND you dont have to worry about Talon company jumping down your throat every so often on a contract kill mission.
You worry about Talon company? I see them as free walking gear ripe for the taking. Specially since I'm using the Ranger armor, and talon's armor is ever so perfect to fix my own. Made a day (and a sweet buck) out of clearing out the underground Talon company bunker thing.


On topic: I saved Megaton. Burke sounded too much like a salesman I wanted to hit/shoot... Besides, I wasn't done exploring the city. Next time I might though.

I nuked it 2nd playthrough... I completed the Wasteland Survivor Guide and a couple of other things... oh yeah, I did personally murder everyone in Megaton before I set the bomb off.

Ahhh, good times :)
