Poll: Who nuked Megaton.

[Ansem-The-Wise]

How many of you decided that Megaton would be better off as a giant crater? How many thought that the good people of Megaton should be spared? And how many of you still can't decide if they should?

Personally, I didn't, because Megaton is a valuable resource of ammo, stimpacks, and beds to sleep in.

 

[Danny Ocean]

How about both? Since you can play through more than once.

 

[Brokkr]

I seriously thought about it, but at the time, it was the easiest place to sell stuff and heal myself. I was also in the middle of the Survivor Guide quest. Next time though... Next time.

 

[bad rider]

I didn't realise it was a choice, i just entered the town the sheriff was like yeah do that so i disarmed. Then some guy walks over to me says he's gonna get me and I thought wtf and shot him.... that didn't work out to well so I reloaded and let him live.

 

[Resistance205]

No, I was always and still am a good character, but next time I play through the game there is going to be a city sized crater where Megaton once was!

 

[speedcoreXdandy]

Yes, twas a beautiful sight!

And now my character looks awesome in Tenpennys suit, double win.

 

[Evilbunny]

Nah, I didn't see a reason to. The people there seemed like good people and I was in the middle of the wasteland survival guide quest. Plus now I have a place where I can get fresh, purified water, a place to get well rested, and a place to sell useless scrap metal for ten times what it's worth.

 

[Evil Scotsman]

I think you would get a shorter list if you asked who didn't nuke Megaton.

I'm on my second playthrough and did Nuke Megaton this time. I don't feel good about it, though because the Tenpenny Tower residents are a bunch of tossers. Especially the owner. I can see me going postal on thier asses before too long.

It's taking all my will power to play as a shit, though, so hopefully Megatons demise will keep me in that mindset.

 

[Sennz0r]

I saved, blew it up and loaded the save again.

Just wanted to see what the explosion looked like

 

[strayjay]

Well, if you nuke megaton, you still have access to all the perks of the town (including Moira, just in different places) AND you dont have to worry about Talon company jumping down your throat every so often on a contract kill mission.

That said, on my first playthrough I defused the bomb, the second I burned the town down.

 

[Ionami]

I did both, on 2 separate play throughs. Might want to add that as an option.

 

[BigbadaBEEF]

no, i let them live, but i have abandoned the game because your dad kills himself and it seemed like a big middle finger to me so i never completed it

 

[corporate_gamer]

Nope i didn't. Not out of any altruistic desire, i simply wasn't playing the game through more than once, and i figured there would be no game that actively rewarded you for being evil. So i did not stray from the path.

You think that's freaky? I killed him, stole his hat, then he sends a squad of hitmen after me a few days after I raped ten penny tower!

How!

Well, I assume it was Mr. Burke, the note reads.

Spoiler: Note on the hitmen

"Execution order on Danny Ocean."
"We will show him the price for challenging Mr. Tenpenny."

Or something like that.

 

[Lucky Dan]

Well, tenpenny tower also has good stores, and a better room. I nuked it just for sadistic pleasure

 

[strayjay]

i figured there would be no game that actively rewarded you for being evil.

Yeah, you'd be wrong in this case. Fallout "rewards" the player with different experiences and allies. You're not gimped for being evil like in so many other games.

 

[Phyroxis]

I did both.

Save game.

Nuke Megaton

Reload

Kill whats-his-face, and then murder EVERYONE in the tower... Ended up with the same level of evil as if I had nuked megaton =D
