Fallout – settle at the Tenpenny Tower without destroying Megaton

fallout-3

I am curious if I could settle at the Tenpenny Tower without blowing up the Megaton bomb and becoming evil (and if this is possible even after I disarm the bomb and fail the Mr Burk's quest to detonate it). Can I? If yes – how?

Best Answer

You cannot.

Mr Burk will only give you the key to your room as a quest reward for setting off the bomb. Even killing him doesn't get you the key.
