Forum:Can I disarm the Megaton Bomb...

When I 1st started playing, I thought I wanted to be an evil character, so I stole and killed a few people. I met with Burke and armed the bomb in Megaton.

Over time I was down to 'very evil' but by then had found Rivet City and started following the positive karma trail and ended up with Star Paladin Cross as a follower with very good Karma. Eventually I found my way to Tenpenny Towers and killed both Burke and Tenpenny.

Now, is there anyway I can disarm the Megaton bomb and claim the Megaton house, or am I just doomed to wander the wasteland a homeless soul?

If all else fails, I'll go back to Tenpenny Towers and blow up Megaton, then eventually build my karma back up to the point where I can rehire Cross but I'd like to disarm the bomb.

I'm playing on an Xbox 360.--Hightp1 20:08, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

I just checked the bugs list for the quest "The Power Of The Atom!". According to the list, if you arm the bomb, then kill Burke and Tenpenny, the bomb will be considered rigged and you will not be able to disarm it. Now I don't know if you'll be able to detonate the bomb. I believe that if you killed Burke, then Tenpenny then you won't be able to.--Ryker6108:52, April 23, 2011 (UTC)~1:49am 4/23/2011

Thanks for the info. I'm nearly at the end of the game now, so it doesn't really matter. Hightp1
