My Megaton house

The Megaton Shack becomes available after you complete the The Power of the Atom quest. The Megaton Shack is located in Megaton.

This shack can be yours if you decide to disarm the bomb that is located in the center of Megaton. Besides being a resident and proud owner of your new home, you can improve it too. For example, you can outfit your house with an infirmary, jukebox, laboratory, nuka-cola machine, and workbench. You can also change the scenery from a run down shack to: Raider, Wasteland Explorer, Vault, Science, Pre-War, and Love Machine (try to find the song "Love Shack" on the jukebox if you have the love machine scenery.) Besides pre-defined themes, playful player can equip the shack with pretty much everything found in the wasteland, dropping items following by arranging with the drag key or even with "guards", leaving them around and pushing by walking directly at them in desired location. However, player must "renew" partnership whenever passing around in order to prevent companions from returning to pre-defined locations.

Also, you get a robot butler, Wadsworth who is able to tell you jokes, supply you with Purified Water, cut your hair and explain what your 'improvements' are used for. While owning infirmary, Wadsworth will remind you to use it, if you pass by him injured.

As in owned bed, sleeping in your shack grants you "well rested" effect (+10% xp) for a short period, which could be very powerful when used with completing quests or plain slaying anything that moves around Megaton.
