Megaton

Megaton is a town in the vincinity of Washington, DC built around the crater, where an undetonated nuclear bomb, which a part of the town worships as a miraculous sign from God. People took this unexploded bomb as a sign from God that He intended them to survive. This encouraged them to build their town around this bomb, using salvaged parts including a downed airline carrier. Also as a major quest you can detonate or disarm the bomb and the quest givers for now are Mr. Burke (detonate) and Lucas Simms (disarm). Also if you detonate it you get to watch the explosion from Tenpenny Tower but if you disarm it you get a house in Megaton with its own robot and you can also customize the house you get.

As the PC approaches Megaton, he/she could see scavenging or hunting birds circling above the city.

Places in Megaton include:
 * bomb at the bottom of the crater, lying in a pool of water, in which a single person is standing praying to the bomb,
 * Children of the Atom place (a local cult, there is sign concerning it, pointing up the ramp),
 * Moriarty's Saloon.
 * Craterside Supply

Megaton characters: "Welcome to Megaton. The bomb is perfectly safe, we promise. Please hold for threat level assessment. Threat level minimal. Open the gates. Open the gates. Welcome to Megaton." Then the gate are opened slowly by some unseen mechanic.
 * Approaching travellers are greeted by deputy Weld, a Protectron robot (that looks, in shape, similar to Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet), who speaks (in a typical Lost In Space) robot voice:
 * The sheriff of Megaton (and mayor when the need arises) is Lucas Simms.
 * There is a faction represented by the mysterious Mr. Burke, that wants the nuclear bomb detonated and Megaton wiped out.

According to quest notice the PC should find out about his father in Megaton fades in and out.
