Megaton-ing Megaton
This one’s a little obvious, isn’t it? But who can really put together an explosive Fallout list without including this mega-masterpiece? The nuclear blast that levels Megaton is one of several outcomes of the Power of the Atom quest, and boy is it a doozy.
The fate of Megaton, the town literally built around an dormant atomic bomb, rests in your hands. On one side of the karmic pull is Lucas Simms–Megaton’s Sheriff–who tasks you with disarming the bomb, of course the other infinitely more nefarious option is to ignore him and rig the thing to blow instead. Choosing to go this way will see you trek to Tenpenny Towers where you are given the honors to press the button yourself and watch the entire town get obliterated with a huge devastating explosion. Hopefully you didn’t nuke Megaton in an attempt to rid yourself of Moira Brown though, as she becomes the only survivor of the blast (albeit ghoulified). Sorry!
