Megaton is a hub for many quests that send you far afield into the Capital Wasteland. Here are the other adventures related to Megaton I mentioned in this video: The Regulators (Cowboy Hat #2): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ntt3ar2g0rCxnIE.html The Megaton Player Home: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fteXrKxzu8WmgJ8.html AREFU & The Family Series--Blood Ties: kzfaq.info/sun/PLX3Sax_xs4WRqgzWOcgsmEt8lvY141PLk Jericho: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qa6HqriZ3dK3o2Q.html Paradise Falls Series: kzfaq.info/sun/PLX3Sax_xs4WRQA0VXnqj_4ltK5TrKjapT The Tenpenny Tower Player Home: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrGZd9NpqdPSeXU.html The Underworld (Gob's Family): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rq-KhMSLzJiYhZc.html The Wasteland Survival Guide Series: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZrCgppt8qt67gpc.html

So you're telling me it's easier to disarm a nuclear bomb than to fix a leaky pipe?

"Have you been living in a hole or something" Well, actually

Jericho: "You workin' for the Raiders to scope out our defenses?!" Random Megaton Citizen: "Later."

Fun fact in the Japanese version of Fallout 3 Mr Burke is absent from Megaton so the only option available in The Power of the Atom is to disarm the bomb this decision was made because of concerns about depictions of atomic detonation in inhabited areas. Fun fact 2. The fat mans name was changed in the Japanese version to Nuka Launcher because Fat Man is a direct reference to the bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki.

I always liked Megaton more than Rivet city that place is a maze of frustration

Fallout 3 was my first ever open-world game, and Megaton my first home. There's something about the sound of the wind whistling through the fences, the sound of the jet engine lazily spinning, Cromwell's nonsense echoing around the crater, and the brown and grey airliner parts making up the town. Walking through those gates is always like coming home.

Moira Brown is my favorite Fallout character, even if she sends me out to possibly die in horrible ways. Her demeanor is just so cheerful and happy!

I never thought Billy did the deed, but he was part of the gang that attacked the settlement. But when he found little Maggie he finally had a revelation that he'd done something wrong, and so turned his life around, adopted Maggie and raised her as his own. As we learn time and again, some times it's the small things that make us realize what horrible people we are, reflect on ourselves and become better people. In this case Maggie was Billy's salvation.

Oh, the code for the floor safe is a reference to the series LOST. 4,8,15,16,23,42

You don't need to kill Lucas for his outfit! You can tell him about Burke and let Burke kill him!

I went to springvale elementary first when I first played fallout 3, so it was nighttime when I first walked into megaton and i think it looks a lot better at night. Walking into megaton at night is one of my best memories of playing this game

When I got this game when I was 9 i was scared to leave megaton. I've spent so many hours just going around megaton talking to all the characters, going into every single building. Laughing at Jericho's dialogue. Needless to say I'm 23 and I still play this game from time to time, but centaurs still creep me out.

I'm just surprised the inhabitants aren't walking masses of tumors.

Micky: please do you have any water? Meanwhile Sheffield: NUKA COLA

I never even knew about the hatch in Lucas simms house. Thanks for showing me something new after all these years.

Child of atom: rays shower you. Me: golden showers to you too.

Ox I've played fallout 3 for so long and never now about Lucas simms secret house hatch thx

This is literally documentary movie about megaton

is it me or is it awesome to imagine oxhorn narrating children's books in those public libraries. It would fit with his jolly personality

Dude I remember the first time playing fallout 3, my first fallout game. My life had changed

"GASP" you watch always sunny in Philadelphia

“Her place is down by the crater” Ah yes, that narrows it down, thanks Lucas.

When I first saw this town back in 2008, I was astounded. I thought, "How could there ever be an entire settlement still after all the destruction that just happened to the rest of the world?" Lucas Simms reminded me of all those old western films my mom is so into.

Fallout is easily one of the greatest series ever created.

I wonder how much the bomb in Megaton weighs Probably a *Megaton* Ok I'll go

Finding out Ox enjoys or at least knows about Always Sunny is HILARIOUS!

38:20 you can’t tell me that dudes power armor doesn’t look like buzz lightyear

"You'd best have cancer" - Doc Church

I've played this game through 4 times. I have over 300 hours of play on it and I have never gone inside the brass lantern. That's what I love about this game. There's always more to see

I'm always impressed by the amount of detail and how in depth you explore every plot point. Not many people care enough to get every little piece of info and present it. You do, and by doing so you help everyone understand the games that much better.

I just noticed that Billy creel's safe combo is from the show Lost. In lost they had to keep putting in four, eight, 15, 16, 23, 42. And the combo is 15, 16, 23, 42. Lol I love lost.

Sees Oxhorn made new Fallout 3 Video, Sees time Grabs nuka cola and enjoys

Bethesda devs be like: "Welp, if we stick someone [Stockhomle] up here we may as well give him some dialogue. People are gonna get to him one way or another

55:38 “Man… So much for late night reading” *unintelligible noises from Charon* I LOST IT

15:00 “Here’s some advice...” *ad plays* Well, I don’t remember that from the game.

"Sounds like the introduction of a self help book" that killed me lmaooo

Good job Ox !!! I never talked to Stockholm, and the terminals changing with the progress of the protagonist's quests is an incredible nice touch.

Ox you blew my mind with that hatch in the sheriffs house, all these years and that’s the first time I ever saw that

I had a great time with FO3, played for many many hours. I like ox's lore vids, he really makes it come to life.

You mean the people who Lived there... *Hides detonator behind back*

i like the Megaton house better than the Tenpenny Suite honestly. Much more room.

Man this brings back memories. One of my biggest video game experiences in my life was determining megatons fate...

Always loved this town; probably my favorite city in the wasteland. I am surprised you did not pull from the Guide Book more for lore; Moriarty being an actual Irish immigrant was really interesting and there were a couple other interesting bits like that. Also: are you going to cover the Megaton sniper rifle rock? Maybe you have some theories on that.

I think one of my favorite parts of megaton is it's one of the few places you can have a player home in an actual town... And that you can get a fridge that can make chilled nuka colas

What I decided to do with the bomb? Well... I gave them a megaton of fun...

Fallout 3: Manya gives you an extremely detailed history of the town. Fallout New Vegas: Michelangelo explains that he builds all the functioning signs for Mr. House. Fallout 4: Screw you, BASEBALL!

Wow this takes me back. Was just a 16 year old lost in time and space. Disillusioned and with no direction. This game was a light during that time. 9 years later, here i am in my own place, with a career, and with hope. Thank you for everything

oxhorn, i don't think the signs being upside down were 'a mistake' for the children of atom - the sign the right way up intends warning off, so flipping them over would signify welcoming... a symbolism important for a church worshipping the bomb. :)

The rumor that Moriarty pisses in the still is probably a reference to the time Heineken spread a similar rumor about Corona

Stockholm is a great way to get combat armor early in the game. The town will not be hostile if manage to stealth-kill him. You don’t even have to climb all the way up to get it, scoring critical hit will allow you to loot the armor from one of the parts that drop to the ground

Oxhorn must have a mod that fixes this, but turning in scrap metal gives you 10 xp per piece. Combine that with the 10 caps per piece and this is something to unlock to do for any character, regardless of your characters karmic path.

I'm so glad I found you Ox, your commentary alone is golden but everything else keeps me highly entertained.

First time went there, I mistook the name for "Megatron" lol 😂😂😂😂

“You will find no wealth in the Wasteland greater than that which you will find within yourself” I mean I could go to the outcasts bunker and get winterised t-51b, can’t find that in myself.

Buckle up boys we’re in for a ride

Hey Maggie Gurl. I just met you. Tell me the combo to ur safe. Maggie: OK!

Pretty sure you can get the sheriff's duster from Lucas simms by reverse pickpocketing a higher DR piece of gear, and then taking the duster from his inventory after fast traveling somewhere and back

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO TALK TO THAT GUY (Stockholm) ON THE TOP OF THE GUARD POST AT THE ENTRANCE TO MEGATON!!! Thank you sir.

9:50 "if it's just nerves maybe some chems will help" LMAO yo just go get hella high *then* you can go fiddle with the atomic bomb in the middle of my town

Oxhorn, considering your doing towns now can you do a video about the backstory of diamond city?

This is so KZfaq friendly content that it has 10 ad breaks

Rewatching this for the 100th time but there’s just something special about Megaton that just keeps bringing me back. So much nostalgia. Perfect game.

Entering Megaton has massive nostalgic value to me. Best place I saw in a game. First time playing I almost killed myself in the irradiated water

I always felt back for Micky. He's relies on kindness of strangers in a nuclear wasteland where people would kill you for a broken cap. He's a nice person too! Even if you're an asshole to him he won't try and insult you or hurt you.

10 times better than diamond city in my opinion

Gosh I remember how freaking _amazing_ that moment Megaton's armor peeled back to reveal its entrance was the very first time I played the game. Froze me in my tracks, lol

I have fond memories of this place. My dad used to live in the house there on his playthroughs.

Lucas has a much different reaction if you have a high charisma. Im playing a charismatic sniper, and lucas is MUCH nicer to me. He startes the conversation saying something like " i dont know why, but i like you friend.." which is nice since im trying for the "nice guy" play through. (Either my sticky fingers rack up the karma or someone said something they shouldnt have, and now theyre dead) never been able to pull off the good guy play.

Confessor Cromwell's voice is kinda creepy with that thaaanks

When ever I repair the leaking pipes I usually jump over the railing that is in front of Craterside Supply. I end up on the opposite balcony and just walk over to the second leak. I was a little confused with the long winding path you gave in the video. I figured I would let you know a slightly quicker path. Also I love watching your videos! From your WoW machinima days to today, they are always highly entertaining no matter how many times I watch them! Keep up the fantastic work!

The "night man" reference got me good. Thank you for these videos. I have 500+ hours in fallout 3 and there were several things in this video that I never knew!

If this was fallout 4 the sarcastic response for 1:06:30 would have Hold on, Let me think of an Insult. I know. You look like a corpse. Gob: Oh great, I got a wise ass

I never knew about the rooftop hatch in lucus' home this whole time!

I love how that old guy just casually gestures with his gun while talking

Watched all of Fallout 1. Started Fallout 2 and realized its in progress. So now im watching fallout 3 even though I played all. But hearing the detail you bring in the videos makes me understand and love these games and your series so much. Thank you for this ❤️

55:38 Agreed with Charons Commentary

I believe you can also acquire the hat and duster if you let mr burke kill the sheriff. instead of helping him.

41:50, I'm pretty sure the safe combination is a reference to the TV show Lost, where the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 show up repeatedly.

I absolutely LOVE Charon's grumbling as you left Billy Creel's. Rotflcopterz

It always confused me how the people of megaton specifically,among others in fallout 3 located so close to nuclear materials,havent begun some sort of ghoulification process...

Hey Ox I love the series and all your videos you plan it out and give us the best there is. The flow of the video and pacing is great! You’re the man!

I'm not sure why I am adverse from the Fallout 76 stuff, but I really enjoy your videos of the past games. Thanks Ox.

**There was a city here, it’s gone now**

I can already tell you exactly how megaton came to be. All of the scraps came from Andrews Air Force Base; in fact, the plane that made that crater was likely a B-52 Stratofortress carrying that bomb before a nuclear detonation in or near DC caused an electromagnetic pulse that made the plane crash. That formed the foundation for Megaton, and the rest of it came from Andrews.

Yes another fallout 3 video by the one and only OXHORN!

“The only advice I can offer is this:” Water purification ad plays

The funniest thing about fallout and elder scrolls games is when the character’s voice changes drastically for one line then changes back LOL

I never played the bad guy before, I still can't, it's just not in me. Interesting to see what happens with those options.

Moriarty’s Bar. He’s usually on the lookout for Sherlock.

The boyfriend and I just started watching your videos together after we started Fallout 4. I think your channel is awesome. A suggestion I have is to maybe make videos on how to get past glitches, Fire Support and Call to Arms took way too long to complete because of a glitch in arriving late. We figured it out; but it would be helpful!

Lots of people don't realise theres a guy stood above the jet engine on the outside of Megaton with a gun trained on you. Also, I think you can reverse pickpocket Simms duster and hat, just pickpocket him and give him power armour and a helmet, or anything with higher DR. Enter a door and force a quick save, reload that quick save, then exit the door again. He should have put his new equipment on. Then pickpocket him again.

I always enjoy your videos, you put so much enthusiasm and effort into the things most people won't notice, piece it together and present the full picture. Thank you Oxhorn for your amazing content!

Fantastic as always, fine sir! Even though I've played fallout 3 multiple times, I still learned several things I didn't know. Keep up the outstanding work Ox!!

To be fair, The Children of Atom's ideologi about every atomic mass containing an entire universe, may not be as crazy as we might think. Not only in the Fallout universe, but maybe in our universe as well.

Dude, oxhorn, I love your vids. your methods of explaining the lore manage to captivate me for your entire videos, which is a miracle since no video over 5 minutes can keep me entertained. your voice makes me super calm, and your in depth explanation is super detailed and intriguing. never stop making videos, you are a legend, God bless you man.

Love the Dayman reference!

“Have you been living in a hole?” Well um yes but um actually no,

22:35 WOW... mother maya would make a great ventriloquist

Woah the passcode to Billy's safe is a reference to the show Lost. 15-16-23-42 is a recurring set of numbers in the show!
