    On your first playthrough, did you nuke Megaton or not? Why?

    I did, because blowing up a whole town with a single press of a button while you're on top of a tower is quite entertaining.

    It is entertaining, certainly. Did you at least do some quests in Megaton before blowing it up? You know, for the bonus EXP.

    I completed as many quests as possible, and then I said, "**** you, Megaton." Then I blew it up because I'm a terrible person, and it was hilarious at the time, being a much younger lad. Those people didn't know what they had coming to them!

    I couldn't nuke Megaton. How else am I suppose to keep stealing booze from Moriarty if his bar is blown back to hell?

    I saved and did both things. :D It was funny that after I nuked the chick that was writing the book about survival was still there as a ghoul. After I checked the town out after nuking it, I reloaded from a save and left them be. They didn't deserve to get nuked.

    Yes, Moira being a ghoul was a nice touch. The funny part was that she didn't even know she was a ghoul. (I think it was her)

    Just like you said, I saved and did both as well. After I nuked Megaton, I also killed the dude that gave you the quest.
    I agree, they didn't deserve to get nuked and I reloaded as well.
    The house in Megaton was nice too, I wouldn't want to miss out on having it.

    Nope, and I never did, which is something you're reminding me of that I wanted to do.

    I did not.

    I thought about it but the walk to Tenpenny Tower was too long for my first playthrough and I died a few times trying to get there so I said bump it and left Megaton as my hub.

    I didn't nuke Megaton. When Burke told me of his plans, I shot him AND took his silenced 10mm pistol. Two birds with one stone. I nuked Megaton in a later playthrough where I was completely evil. But Megaton is still my favorite place in Fallout 3, and I prefer it to the Tennpenny Tower. It's a lot nicer, better and it feels a lot more like a wasteland. That said, there are some cool quests in Tennpenny Tower that are unobtainable otherwise, I think. So, both playthroughs are worth playing.

    I did not on my first play, because I was all about that karma. I did go back through and nuke it later, though. I felt horrible and the consequences the game threw at me were really interesting.

    Nah, I couldn't. I liked too many of the people who lived there. On my first-playthrough, I'm always a big wuss. Second playthrough, I decimated that town, though. It was a lot more fun than I expected it would be.

    Nope, I have said it before and will say it again. I can't get myself to play as such an evil character, the game looses its point for me afterwards. It's not something I would do, so why would I be immersed in a character that does do it?

    I was actually just gonna post this as a topic! Haha! I didn't nuke it, because I really enjoyed the Mad Max-ness of the whole town. It was pretty awesome. In fact, I don't think I've ever nuked it.

    Sadly, I didn't. I was playing with my dad on my first play through and he doesn't stand for no nonsense, so I played as nicely as I could. But on my second playthrough when I played solo... BOOM.

    How ironic is that though? Seriously.

    Like just Megaton's luck. That they'd get hit by a nuke... in a post nuclear fallout world.

    It's like getting struck by lightning in the same place when it's not even raining anymore. That's what ya get for building a town on a literal bomb though.
