The big problem with megaton as a concept is that no one in their right mind would live in a fricking crater next to an active warhead while there's an entire town right next door that everyone could've rebuilt. If springvale was the town and megaton just a big shrine that the Children of Atom built to worship the nuke it would've been so much more sensible.
Scavenged food from supermarkets. Yes, it's stupid and they all should have run out years ago. but the entire game feels like it was set a few decades after the bombs dropped rather than centuries and they had to alter it last minute. Mass Effect has a similar problem with its backstory not lining up with the in-game portrayal
You've never heard of salvaging and trading for food? Someone leaves Megaton, comes back with food to trade. Or some merchant comes by and sells food for scrap parts and other trinkets. I love Megaton. I love my house in Megaton. I love all my fellow Megaton neighbors. I think it's a cool settlement.
Megaton would be cool in isometric style. Even if the originals didn't have that much verticality with their settlements, there's something very isometric-y about Megaton, like they had the originals in mind when designing it. I've come to realize that.
Since the only realistic answer is that they trade for food and resources, can someone explain whether or not that's enough for a settlement to thrive and function? I doubt it, they would still need a way to be self-sufficient.
I don't think you realize how much food it takes to sustain even 28 people at just above starvation level. More than a couple of cans from the magically respawning stocks of the 200 year old scavenged grocery store and a few brahmin steaks from a trader that trades them for ever abundant scrap metal for some reason can provide.

uh internal consistency doesn't matter because mutants or something
Megaton is so moronic. The food thing is one of it's many problems but like so much of it is fricking dumb.

It raises the question of what exactly they trade since they don't seem to produce anything.
You guys are making to much of this.
there's less than 30 dwellers in Megaton
>With 28 named inhabitants, ten unnamed Megaton settlers, and four Children of the Atom, it is surpassed only by Rivet City in terms of population.

So why is it that nobody is ever out hunting, but instead just sitting around in town all the time?
its not Stardew Valley or some hunting for food game exactly
I recently finished Fallout New Vegas and I loved every second of it
Is Fallout 3 worth playing or should I play Fallout 1/2?
Form your own opinion and find out, moron
Play Fallout 1/2 first, then play 3. It's worth playing but not for the same reasons the actual good games in the series are worth playing.
Its the same game but with an orange shit filter instead of a green shit one
the writing seems to be pretty different from what I've heard
Who cares? What do you eat?
