First time left it, Second time left it and helps the ghouls come to a peaceful solution, Third time nuked it, and killed Roy at the gates, after seeing what he did to all the people in the tower on the second play through.

Have to say the spectacular view of the explosion was the best experience in the game for me thus far, well except Liberty Prime and his Anti Communism chants.

I never did, I may one day do it for the achievements.

For starters I don't like playing evil characters, and I really don't like playing evil with no real motivation. I can put up with playing games like GTA ware I'm not given the choice, or if it makes sense to do evil from a motivational stand point

With megaton blowing up the nuke doesn't make any sense. The guy asks you out of the blue to destroy the town for a very small amount of money. Doing so seems less evil, and more insane, I guess if your roleplaying a pyromaniac you would have some motivation to do it. But from an evil standpoint it would be better to kill everyone and take their stuff

I did both. I felt guilty at first blowing it up but after I got over not giving a fuck I became a slaver and giggled my way to Evilville.

I am on my first play through and I have been playing as a good guy so it was spared. Next time though, after I've done the Survival Guide I'll Nuke it, only real question is weather or not I'll wait to find the MIRV, look up the mini nuke ammo code, and pre-nuke the city.

Also does anyone know what happens to the Strength Bobble Head in Simms House if you don't grab it before you nuke the place? I would love to go back to to a giant crater to find the bobble head sitting in the middle of a smoldering pile of ash and radioactive waste.
No more Strength Bobble for you if you blew Megaton sky high before obtaining it..

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 :(
You can report him? I just kicked his ass until he died and then stole his sunglasses.
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.
If you report Mr. Burke, you'll get a confrontation between Simms and him. Simms will act all sheriff-like and Burke will seem to comply. The second Simms turns his back, Burke draws his gun. If you let Burke kill Simms, Burke will warn you not to cross him and you can loot Simms' body (early Chinese Assault Rifle and the keys to his house). I don't know what will happen if you kill Burke before he kills Simms.

As for the topic: I saved Megaton. Maybe in my next playthrough, I'll kill everyone first, steal everything of value, then blow the place up. Will you be able to get the quest for Moira if you kill her (I'm guessing you can't, for obvious reasons).

Nuked it and played in the crater to get my rads all the way up. I don't know why, it just seem like the right thing to do.

I nuked it and enjoyed it. Once I've got everything I want for my room Tenpenny Tower shall die as well. They shall feel the wrath of my Deathclaw Gauntlet (obtained at level 4 courtesy of random Deathclaw spawn near Arefu and some wandering Brotherhood Outcasts).

(took me 2 hours to find Megaton)
How did you manage this?
it was because i walked in the opposite direction when i discovered that the little green/blue tealish tick marker thing pointed me towards my objective of going to the nearest town to look for my father.

The best thing to do was not nujke it, use it when you need it, and then kill everyone manually at the end when you're killing everyone else in the game

I have'nt brought myself to nuke it. My first character was good, but my second character is neutral (and very good at sneaking) so I decided to spare Megaton again so that I can rob the place dry and pickpocket every living being in there; plus, as annoying as she is, I just LOVE Moira Brown.
