Talk:Megaton

Name of a robot-sherif deputy is somewhere to find.--dotz 20:56, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

RE:Reach the platform above Lucas Simms' house?

There is a door in Lucas' roof.

Reach the platform above Lucas Simms' house?

Can the aircraft above Lucas Simms' house be reached (I'm using the 360 version). I can see several platforms connecting to his house. Is it possible to access it within the game (if someone with the PC version has been up there, I'd be interested to know what they find)?

Bartender looks like a ghoul?

Seems like he is one. This is probably Moriarty's Saloon. Ausir 21:54, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

That's Gob, and yes he's a ghoul. --DemonDog 04:57, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Beached aircraft carrier?

There are two errors in that phrase. First, it's an aircraft carrier. Second, that's Rivet City, not Megaton. If someone in-game says something about Megaton being built with aircraft carrier bits, I haven't seen it yet. 199.8.68.25 21:18, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

I've seen something about it being built from aircraft parts from a nearby airfield, which has long now been covered by the ravages of the wasteland. i remember hearing "well, the parts were there, may as well use them" but I'm not entirely sure. 71.225.197.82 01:39, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Absolutely correct. Not coincidentally, Dulles International Airport is a short way to the west of where Megaton would be, if you compare maps. --Nick East 03:39, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

The elderly lady wandering around megaton tells you this story. These are parts of airplanes, which 'fell out of the sky when the bombs detoneted'. She also mentions the now covered airstrip where they found the parts. I don't remember her name (but she is listed here as Manya), but her husband's name is Nathan. I haven't changed the article so far. 92.226.139.208 12:12, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

yeah the crater was actually made by a falling plane, and Megaton was built using parts from a nearby air field, this and much more from Manya ````

Greeting Sequence at the Gate

I'm pretty sure they took out the whole sequence of the gate opening for the release version of Fallout 3. You can just walk in, and Deputy Weld simply does his regular advertisements of the businesses within, nothing special, when you first arrive, and the next best thing that you get is Lucas Simms greeting you. It was just there for the gameplay video, maybe for the demo. Of course, I wasn't paying a ton of attention when I last entered Megaton for the first time, so I could be wrong, and thus am not making the change, yet. NightChime 08:40, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

On the PC version, the door has opened every time for me.

You mean it stays open all the time i guess? When PC approaches Megaton for the first time the gates are being opened without any player's activity and they stay open for the rest of the game ('till Megaton evaporate with the nuke blow that is ;P )

Megaton Settler giving me stuff

I didn't see this in the article, so sorry if I missed it.

I have very good karma and i've disarmed the bomb in Megaton. Not too long ago a random Megaton Settler started to come up to me and thank me for helping them and give me some useless item (dirty water, some kind of food, etc.). Bloodbath87 08:02, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Yep. Random gifts like can happen with good or evil characters. Evil characters, that have contact with Paradise Falls, can get gifts from from Slavers. SnowWolf75 05:40, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

random raider attack

Ive noticed this completly at random but,sometimes raiders show up,kill deputy weld and invade megaton,strangely enough,the first time this happened to me,i had jericho as a follower,i killed a raider when a headshot and jericho turned around and killed me with a single shot from the blackhawk,the second time jericho just stood there and got killed,the third time it happened only jericho,lucas simms,billy creel and moriarty bothered to fight,andy stahl also tried but he stood on a landmine*poor sod* Werewolfhell 21:07, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Getting a closer look at the nuke explosion?

Say one were savvy with the console, they could activate the remote detonator with the console with the camera in place somewhere around Megaton. I doubt there is a really detailed destruction animation of the town, but it would still be cool to view the explosion from some different angles.

All you'd have to do is check the GECK. Find the trigger for the event, then paste trigger into the console. --Nux Matrix 02:30, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Mist after blowing up Megaton

Will this mist ever go away? If not, that's enough reason not to blow it up right there. You can always get bad karma elsewhere. Dcruze 12:07, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

History

The closest airforce base is Andrews Airforce Base.

Also for those people who live in dc, south of the Lincoln memorial is an air port, that dose not exist in Fallout 3. yet was constructed in 1944. that air port is Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. it could be the reason it is not there is because it was taken apart and moved to megaton.

Trivia

Removed "Trivia" section. It was, in entirety, "The bomb in the center of Megaton may have been a result of a Chinese bombing run. The reason the bomb didn't explode upon impact is unknown, probably mechanical failure."

Seems kind of obvious, and stated elsewhere. --Captain192 01:32, 12 March 2009 (UTC)Captain192

Agree with the removal. Seems like speculation anyways. 68.49.187.181 01:35, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

house bed glitch help?

I tried the workaround of sleeping in my bed to no avail. it only left an annoying autosave of me stuck in the bed. are there any other workarounds because its my level twenty stuck behind the bed and i really want to get out--Glewis 19:53, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

If your not palying the PC version you'll have to reload an earlier save. 207.164.136.6 19:56, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
