Forum:If you blow up Megaton, can you obtain a house somewhere else?

I want to create an evil character, and I've never blown up the nuke in Megaton, so I'm obviously curious to play out this scenario. However, I don't want to lose the resource of a permanent base of operations. If you blow up Megaton, can you obtain a house somewhere else? I've noticed there's an unused room at Tenpenny Tower, for example.

Thanks in advance for any help.

A House can be gotten in Tenpenny Tower. Or if you mod your game, a few more places can be made. - Frank

Yes, you can get a condo at Tenpenny Tower if you agree to blow up Megaton. BUT I also used a HOUSE IN SPRINGVILLE near the school. I killed the lady who lived there (she was a junkie) and stored stuff there and slept there for weeks before I got my Megaton House. Has anyone else done this? I never had anything missing from there, downside was I never had anything but the floor to put stuff in!Cincykidscott 15:35, 4 April 2009 (UTC)Cincykidscott

There is also a room in Rivet City labeled "My Room"? I picklocked it and went in, but maybe you obtain it from doing an unmarked quest.

You can rent that room in R.C. from the Vera Weatherly. There is also the raider outpost right next to Alexandria Arms. There are 5 safes, a bed, a workbench and some other storage there. Just make sure to relocate the raider corse after killing him or he will respawn there and take your stuff. Or use the mailbox in Springvale.--JiNX Bloodfang 08:16, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I LIED (Sorry, it was not on purpose) I DID kill the lady in Springvale (the junkie named SILVER ) and I stored most of the stuff I collected in her house for 2 weeks play before I got my house at Megaton. BUT I ran down the street and slept on the matress AT THE SCHOOL in the bottom of the stairwell (with the door shut!)I could not sleep in the bed at Silver's house!! Her bed was off limits. So, if you dont have a house in Megaton or a room at Rivet City go ahead and store your stuff at that house and sleep in the school BUT make sure you kill all the Raiders in the school first!! I killed all of em and collected a nice amount of stuff, this was one of my first few hours play after leaving the vault. Hope this helps....Cincykidscott 17:21, 5 April 2009 (UTC)Cincykidscott
