Appropriately, this the is quest that the player goes on. Burke tells the player in no uncertain terms that Megaton could be easily wiped from the map. He hands over a detonator, and an implication, and tells you to meet him at a large tower after you've rigged the bomb to explode. That tower, owned by a Mr. Tenpenny, is a beacon of evil in the Capital Wasteland. A rich man and his building of wealthy residents wants to blow up Megaton because it's an eyesore.
If you ally with Burke and Tenpenny, Megaton is destroyed easily. A mushroom cloud goes up on the horizon. Allying with the wealthy denizens of Tenpenny Tower is siding against those who would make life possible in the bleakness after the end of the world. The people of Megaton are building something that isn't the old world, and it's a blot on the landscape of the landed rich. While Fallout 3 obviously files the complexity of real-life decisions down to a simple choice, the starkness of choosing between Megaton and Tenpenny reveals the simplicity of these choices in real life.
Do we want a new world in a new image, or do we want the old and violent structures? Part of me wants the moral grey and complexity of the first two Fallout games. I want the knotted stomach delivered by a wide array of player choice. Sometimes, though, things are actually not complex at all.
Sometimes it's about making a choice, and the stakes are clear as day. Sign In Create Account. Fallout 3 has stayed with me longer than the rest of the series. August 18, , pm. However, there is absolutely nothing at all to gain from blowing the town up. You will gain a very large amount of negative karma for doing this. What I did was make a save before going into Tenpenny tower. I then went on and detonated the bomb in Megaton. The explosion brought the framerate on the PS3 to about and once the explosion I was happy that I could restore the game save as doing so really did nothing worthwhile.

I'm not sure by reading, there is two homes you can choose from, but you need to destroy megaton for one of them, but whom of this homes are the best home to live in? Do both have the same effects? Have seen that both have the aviablitity to change themes and those upgrades?

I did it in one play through just so I could say i did it but Megaton has so many traders that it makes little sense, even for an evil character, to blow it up.

But roughly a Metal Blaster at full condition, with better criticals, and bloody mess don't know if the wiki used it in its report on the weapon or not , will deal Damage if a sneak attack critical hits every beam on a target.
