      Hah, I had no idea was him. But yeah that's kind of chilling. He sounds like an evil snake whether he's speaking in a black robe or a 50's suit.

      Good old Moira 😂 I think it’s cool they kept her demeanor, but I also would’ve found it interesting if ghoul her was a lot more grumpy 😂

      Lol... I set the nuke off once, for an evil playthrough. Seeing her come up to me ghoulified in the smoking crater still with her glass half full perky old self made me feel like dirt.
      I know it's just a game, but it hits hurting good people, digitalised or real. That's how good the game and the writing is I suppose. Save to say I never blew up Megaton again.

    I love the nuances of Wes Johnson's voice when he plays evil NPC's, Mr. Burke and Lucien Lachance both give a shiver down your spine.

    I always wanted to just set it off. Sometimes, you just wanna say screw it😂 also I think it's funny when the sherrif is like, "aight man, just look at it, maybe like try to dismantle it, yknow? Just don't try to blow us up. " Like, dude.... I just got to town. How in the world would I know, someone who just GOT OUT OF A VAULT MIGHT I ADD! to dismantle this thing???😂😂😂

      I usually do every single quest there is in Megaton and then blow it up to live in luxury. All you have to do is give free purified water to the begger outside of Rivet City to get your karma back or even higher than you had it originally.

    The first time I ever played Fallout 3, I blew up Megaton as quickly as possible because but I saw it done in the E3 demo and thought it looked cool. As soon as I went back to the site and met Moira with all of her hair burned off, I uninstalled the game and went to bed because I felt so bad.

    • @colddaze6680
      @colddaze6680 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Lol..Good to know you reacted like that, just proves you have a heart after all ,when you think about it. And that's exactly what the phrase , " actions have consequences" means..
      Not only did the bomb burn off Moira's hair, it vaporised the Sheriff's kid, and the little girl adopted by the guy with the eye patch, and the old couple that lived next to them. And wiped out everyone else in the town. Consequences like that hit hard when you're not pure evil. Proving the writing in the game was that good. Showing us who we really are, even if we are just role playing in a video game. Actions always have consequences.

    • @seth4321
      @seth4321 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @colddaze6680 Yeah... That's a pretty big death toll. I know it's just a game, but speaking with a survivor of the blast (and for it be Moira of all people) TOTALLY caught me off guard. She looked terrible. That hit so much harder than just seeing a crater in the ground.
      At any rate, I did eventually install the game and play it afterwards. And I didn't blow up Megaton the second time. 😛 And in hindsight, Megaton is so much nicer to visit than Tenpenny Tower, at least for me. I wouldn't want a playthrough where Megaton is just eliminated as an option to visit.

      ​@@seth4321Megaton is mostly good people apart from Moriarty, and the ex raider. But even he's trying to redeem himself.
      Yeah exactly, Tenpenny tower, might as well be Trump tower of the wastes. Exclusively for the rich snobs, out of touch with the rest of the wastelands ordinary people.
      Even so I never let the ferals in there to tear them apart. There was a couple of decent people living there too. I took the contract from the ghoul at Underworld to whack Tenpenny though. I figured if he was evil enough to pay some one to blow up Megaton just cause it "spoiled" his view of the horizon. I figured he deserves to die. The writers didn't make Tenpenny tower an easy decision. Not for me anyway, rich out touch narcissistic snobs don't necessarily deserve to be torn apart and eaten by a pack of ferals. Tenpenny, different story though.

    I like megaton better than the 2 nickel tower. While ugly looks wise, it has so much more character than the tower. Of course, I've blown it up in so many playthroughs. 😂
    Then again, on those same playthroughs, tenpenny tower receives it's culling as well.

      @ABardsBallad Location is also convenient. You actually have a reason to return to it. 2 nickel tower however is so out of the way that I almost never went down there

      @ABardsBallad  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      That’s a great question, to be honest I’m not as informed on what gives you experience in the fallout universe vs TES universe, but I’d assume just discovering places and beating quests in a peaceful manner would be the best
