Forum:Other Targets for Orbital Bombardment

!!!!SPOILERS!!!!-

When you get to the mobile platform and use the terminal to give the satellite the coordinates for the crawler, it also allows you to choose between Rivet City, Megaton, the Citadel, and one other that I've forgotten.

I couldn't bring myself to nuke so many innocents, so I blew up the crawler, but has anyone picked the other locations? What happens?

I'm wondering the same thing. The way I have been playing my character now, is kind of a "corrupted by the wasteland" dark character that starts to become a good person, and I made Broken Steel become the turning point for this character. I chose to destroy all of the enclave, but I was curious as to what happens if you choose another target. --Esscex 05:47, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The Citadel. Lyons' Brotherhood is populated by retards and Henry Casdin will propably appreciate that. If Rivet City and Megaton were eligible for nuking, well, that'd be an easy choice. That Furry Bastard 06:59, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

What are you talking about?--OfficerBlue 08:01, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd nuke the Citadel. Lyons and his bunch are idiots mixed with retards, so I'd be doing the wastelands a service. That Furry Bastard 08:10, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Nothing happens when you try and bomb Megaton and Rivet City.....there is just an error message saying the satellite isn't in the right position (or something like that).

The other option is the purifier at the Jefferson Memorial. You can actually only attack the Citadel or the Crawler. Choosing the citadel is odd - you leave the crawler, get on the vertibird, and start flying...I thought the game had glitched...but then the pilot can't raise the Citadel on the radio and decides to fly there. The pentagon is gutted in the center, but the outer walls are still standing. The survivors attack you, and you can enter the citadel ruins to find the armory, everything else is gone. I did a quicksave and then tried it to see if Bethesda actually coded any option besides the crawler. Its pretty impressive.--64.58.0.90 23:55, 17 May 2009 (UTC) Krag
