    I didn't because... I liked the people. Even that crazed lunatic praising the bomb! That and I didn't want to give him what he wanted ;)

    I did, but I regret it. Everyone in Tenpenny Towers is boring and lifeless, even by Beth's standards.

    Not the first time. But I did the second time because I didn't do it the first time.

    Even if you blow up Megaton, you can still do the Survival Guide. SPOILER(I guess) Moira becomes a ghoul so you just have to go to the Underworld instead of Megaton

    I didn't. In most games with good/bad play styles I just generally go the good route the first time around, bad second, and if I do a third play through I choose the options that are the most interesting to me.

    Yeah after getting some people to move out with speech, I went to Tenpenny's balcony and chainsawed his head off. It was awesome. I got positive karma too!

    I didn't the first time...

    ...but I finally did two days ago.  It was AWESOME, but man, it makes it quite a bit tougher to hunt down someplace to get some Stimpaks and ammo at low levels so far. lol  I did it so I could get the bad guy achievements.

    But high speech is ftw!  I like having almost 5000 caps on me right now.  = D

    I told the guy I would, I planted the device on the bomb and I went up to tenpenny towers and met with mr tenpenny. I then shot him and his lacky in the face, stole his sniper rifle and went back to megaton to some missions.

    Before I finally bought Fallout 3, I was actually looking forward to blowing up Megaton, but I quickly fell in love with the place and everyone living there.* *Megaton Spoilers(?)** I reported Mr. Burke to Lucas Simms, and that resulted in Mr. Burke killing Lucas :(. I unleashed my baseball bat on Mr. Burke. The bastard! (At least I've now got Lucas' hat) But I haven't defused or detonated the bomb yet (got carried away with the man quest), though I plan on defusing it.

    I can't believe how quickly I'm becoming connected to the characters in Fallout 3.

    I did, because I was given the option.  I saw no worthwhile reason not to.  No decent benefits.  I also already killed everybody due to them attacking me after I murdered the annoying novelist.   I just couldn't take it anymore, she was always so happy.  What the fuck is there that makes her so happy?  Her personality was so forced and droll.  Clearly put there to annoy me.  She is what Vats is all about.

    What every NPC is about.  Head popping goodness!

    First playthrough I didn't.

    second playthrough...YOU BET YOUR SWEET ASS I BLEW THEM AWAY!!!!!  AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH *deep breath* MUAHAHAHAH!

    Actually I'm going to assassinate all of Tenpenny as well, one at a time.  And to think Rockstar gets shit for questionable content in their games.  GTA4 is weak compared to this.

    I blew up megaton because that survival guide writing bitch made me do all that dangerous crap, and I thought it was the best way to get back at her.
    Than I found out she didn't die, and I was soooooo pissed!

    I did. I was going to ask the guy at the bar for clues about my father and when he asked for 100 caps for the info i accidently hit the B button. When i asked again he wanted double the original amount of bottle caps. I got mad and blew up the town.

    I didn't because I always play the good role in any game that gives you the choice.  I did go on a killing spree to get the kill 300 people achievement, but I felt like I was going to be sick the whole time.

    I liked Megaton. In a land full of hostiles, a friendly place is good. Plus there are a lot of missions, shops, and even a house that you can get over there.
    No reason to blow up a safe place just for some money that you can get anyway

    First thing i did when i got to megaton was break into the armory and get some guns.
    Then i visited Moira, and via IRC pressure, her head was in the sink within minutes of my arrival.

    No i didnt blow the nuke, but i did kill every last motherfucker in that town.

    Yes, and watching the mushroom cloud from the top of Tenpenny Tower was my favorite part of the game.  Frustratingly, the bobblehead in Megaton is still the only one I don't have, and I don't much feel like restarting the game just to run around collecting them all again.

    Yeah I agree with ya.  My second time through and I'm playing evil (first time through was neutral).  Tenpenny tower sucks.  I still go back and visit the Megaton crater.  Hell Megaton was the best town in the game.  The most like previous Fallout towns than any other "town" in the game.

    I loved Canterbury Commons and only wished it was bigger.  If anything dissappointed me about Fallout 3 it was that the towns felt shallow and boring.  Playing through the game I was expecting to come across a shanty town big enough to be used as another base of operations.  Something the size of Vault City or something.  Anyway, once you choose a side in Megaton, that's where you stay for the rest of the game.  So much potential wasted.

    I killed them because they where all assholes to me so I got pissed and blew them up. Then when I saw how scummy the people at tenpenny towers where to the ghouls I wanted to let the ghouls in to kill them but I couldnt figure out how so I just killed the ghouls. I wish I got to let those ghouls in though.
