That would be correct. You can get another place to call your own in Tenpenny Suite. Though that's just what I've heard, I haven't done the quest line for it. I'm not sure but you might only get it if you nuke Megaton.

I have a key to a Tenpenny suite, but I'm pretty sure you get the nice setup is if you nuke Megaton.Originally Posted by animus
If you nuke Megaton, then you get a penthouse. If you disarm the bomb, you get a 2 story shack in Megaton. Depends on what kind of karma you want.Originally Posted by Animeniax
I don't want bad karma, which is all I've been getting because I steal everything that I hope will be useful. However, I don't want a shack when a suite is available, so I'll probably nuke the place. I just have to remember that it's everyone for himself in this post-apocalyptic world.
So I guess I should complete some missions for the folks in Megaton before I nuke the place, or should I just nuke it and get started with building my suite?
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I'd complete some missions, personally. After you nuke it, only one person survives, from what I heard. You might be able to get the same info elsewhere, but I can't confirm (I've already disarmed it).
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
You can't do any of the megaton mission after you nuked it. One person survive but she doesn't give the quest anymore.Originally Posted by Buffalobiian
I mean the shack isn't that bad...You get your own robot and stuff that gives you free water; and you have like 6 rooms or something like that. And the people in Tenpenny suck. I actually made a save, then massacred almost everyone in there (guards included). But then i reloaded, so that I could do the Tenpennt tower missions. So its up to you Ani, if you want a huge amount of bad karma, be my guest. I guess it doesn't matter that much, since people will be chasing you if you're good or bad.
P.S. I just realized how bad ass my character is now...those Tenpenny security guys are no joke (I also had Charon with me too..)
Hmm, about Megaton, I somehow got the key to access the armory, though when I open it, the robot tries to waste me, and Nathan come charging in. If I kill him, the whole town's after me.

Crap I need to stop reading this thread. Thanks for the suggestions rockmanj, but I don't want these spoilers to affect how I play the game. Before I read about the Tenpenny suite I was going to save Megaton. Though I don't particularly like anyone in Megaton, so now I'm doing all the missions for them that I can before I nuke them.
The karma thing should worry me more, but I haven't seen the effect of really bad karma so I will probably nuke the place.

As far as I know Karma only effects what characters you can recruit, and certain perks have karma requirements. Maybe even a unique dialogue option here and there. Oh yea and occassionally with high good karma, Megaton settlers would randomly walk up to me and give me a gift. Sometimes something useful is given, sometimes something useless is.
Are the gifts as cool as all the supplies and equipment you can steal that gives bad karma?Originally Posted by animus

It's nothing really, sometimes it's just a few caps, or a few scraps. They don't give it to you as frequently as you can steal, just a bonus for having good karma.

Having good karma allow you to recruit Fawkes, who in my opinion is the best ally in the game.
Dang, reading this thread is making me second-guess my actions. When I met Barrett and his friend in the Northern station, I thought it was going to be a fight so I unloaded on them right away. When I received bad karma for it, I loaded a previous save game and talked to them instead, then blew them away.

i nuked megaton just to see the explosion, looked pretty damn awesome on my setup, just save it and try it.
Oh i also got double the credits when i nuked it, cause I convinced the dude to give me an extra 500, so now cause of the money and the penthouse, I'm not really sure if i'll save megaton :3

I just like being an explosives expert period.
Mines are a piece of cake if I can find them fast enough (sell for a lot, but have limited use in combat), and grenades do a ton more damage if you can land one right at their feet. I took out six raiders with a well placed grenade at one of the stations near the hotel.
Selling mines gives me more caps for more grenades!
Well, mines can be really useful, if you use some advance planning. If I'm grossly outnumbered (which happens a lot, of course). I'll run from combat, equip a stealth boy, and Set mines alone the path I'm on. Then I'll agitate my quarry to make them chase me, then Boom! Cripples all around that are super-easy to pick off ^^. It also helps that even without a stealth boy, my sneak rating is extremely high.Originally Posted by Ryllharu
I found it more enjoyable to do all that without a stealth boy. It is just hard in many tunnel situations to do all that advanced planning. Though I won't deny I just recently discovered the joys of planting landmines near the natural gas leaks and luring them in.
The only downside to explosives is, on occassion, it can be hard to find the bodies (in order to loot them) after they get individual parts scattered to the four winds.
Crap I killed some Paladins and now I'm an "evil marauder".
It's frustrating how hard it is to get ammo, plus I keep stumbling onto new areas with new mission and it's getting all confused. Plus my trigger finger is getting itchy about setting off the nuke in Megaton and getting on with finding my dad, instead of wasting time doing missions for Moira's stupid survival guide.

and how did you kill them? Was it an accident? Or just jumpy? That's happened to me a couple of times; like i was surprised by someone, and just took their head off.
lol i become an evil marauder all the time, well now im a vagabond of the wastes, was a pirate of the waste before this, but if you become evil, just go donate to the church, or give some bum clean water.
