Return to full list

That's right, time for part 2. Mayhem in Megaton.
The first time I played, lots of things went wrong. Also while not restricted to just the first playthrough, everyone is a jerk to you. All you have to do is look at a door funny and everyone is all like "Yes, that's locked, and yes, I can see you." Well a big fuck you to you too!

So that brings us to Megaton. May as well start out small. By blowing this place off the map. How? Why? Both those questions have about the same answer.

Jock: "Oh my god! JC! A bomb!"
Yes, this town is called Megaton for a reason. Because there is an unexploded atomic bomb in the center of town. So really, this is all for their own good. First though, a couple of things for me to do. Have to find Colin who can tell me where I can find my dad. He's the barkeep, so predictably he's watching porn while not serving drinks.

Colin tells me that my dad was here, but is no more. He's gone onto Galaxy News Radio. Yay. Now, for a bit of fun, and to start the mayhem. Let's do an experiment shall we?

The mirelurk bait grenade was never finished, and doesn't appear to work. So I figured I'd try something. If you throw a pulse grenade at someone it'll do minimal damage becuase they're supposed to be used on bots. If you put it in their pocket though, it'll kill them. Well, I wonder what the bait grenade will do. I slip it into Colin's pocket, and step back.

Ok, that didn't work. Let's up the ante.



Heh. Hey, wait, there's still one person left. See him there? On the right? He seems to have something to say to me.

Meet Mr. Burke. He wants to blow up Megaton! How convinient! I want to blow it up too! He tells me that I can't warn the inhabitents about our little plan, but he doesn't say that I can't kill them personally.
What else to do... Oh, I know! Blow up the sheriff!


This is going to be good, that person on the left is close enough to be caught in the blast. Also this is a good way to annoy everyone else in town.

After killing off everyone in town I decide to raid the armory for any guns that might be nice.

Eep! That wasn't expected! A military bot! Enough bullets, and he goes down. Wait, a terminal? What's that doing in here?


Ack! You mean that I could have just disabled the bot guarding the armory instead of shooting it?! Feh. Oh, right, one last thing to do.

This is Moira Brown. She is interesting because she's the only person to survive the Megaton explosion. But only because I didn't kill her first. She's also writing a survival guide that I'm going to help with. I'm so nice aren't I? Anyway, we're about done here, time to mosey on out of here.


In the year 2277, an agent of chaos was released...

Megaton... Population: Soon to be nil

I've looked at his terminal, there's nothing of interest on it...

This isn't supposed to exist!

Colin is less than impressed.
Ok, that didn't work. Let's up the ante.

Let the fireworks begin!

That's more like it!

That's one way to clear the room
Heh. Hey, wait, there's still one person left. See him there? On the right? He seems to have something to say to me.

This guy seems to like explosions

Target acquired!

Fun fact, my co-op adviser in college was Mr. Simms too.

Yep, they're annoyed now.

Ahh! Bot!
Eep! That wasn't expected! A military bot! Enough bullets, and he goes down. Wait, a terminal? What's that doing in here?

Quick little hack and...

What the...
