I would get turned into a Super Mutant. Not just any super mutant, a super mutant overlord. I would then go on a rampage and kill things with my Gatting laser. Yes, I'd need to be on the lookout from liberty prime, but I'd survive a lot better than most suckers out in the wastes. The Brotherhood of Steel, Outcasts, and Enclave would pretty much not be a big threat. The only real threat would be the pesky vault dweller. And well, as long as the vault dweller isn't modding or cheating, it'll be a close fight.

oh, and hell if I know. It'd be an immediate reaction, one of three things.
-Sit and wait, and/or try and find some bangin hot secretary, for bangin of course
-Sit and wait until explosion, immediately after explosion jump out window, hoping to get blast wave to reach before I hit the ground. :)
-Run down stairs if I miss getting on an elevator. If harbor is near, sprint for it. Hope to either catch a boat leaving, jump on a boat already moving, or hop on one hoping to figure out how to hot-wire like is always possible according to all those film documentaries people pay a lot of money for. If that doesn't work, jump in water, wait for evidence of explosion, and dive dive dive. I think water absorbs a ton of radiation though, so I'm hoping I can reach safety before dying from radiation poisoning. I'd off myself if I felt heavily irradiated.

Not much you can do. Evac routes will be jammed and you can't get far enough away, fast enough without a helicopter. So as said, get as far underground as possible, as far from where ground zero would be. And make peace with your maker, just in case.

Down wind of the fallout? ...assuming you survive the blast....

If it were possible, I think it'd be really cool just to smash a window out in the skyscraper, and jump out as the bomb explodes... vaporizing while falling to the ground. I think that'd be an epic way to die.

If I were at work I'd steal one of the planes on the airport.

Trust me, it works. I saw it in an archaeology documentary.......

but is the fridge lead lined though?

For me, hop in the car and drive away, i live out in the middle of nowhere, plenty of roads to get away

If you're going to die, at least die a hero.


Wouldn't it be better to just let a priest with chopper flying ability haul it up into the sky let it explode and parachute safely back down to earth?

If I was on the 30th floor, I'd say my goodbyes and jump off the top of the building in hopes that the bomb goes off while I am in the air. I'd be dead, but it would be one hell of a ride.

If the bomb were with me on the 30th floor I'd ride that sucker into oblivion.

15 minutes to travel down 30 flights of stairs and 10 miles in a major city with everyone else trying to evacuate...
Unless if I know of a bomb shelter nearby; I'd make a few phone calls, make peace with myself and others and take in what little is left.

The survivors past 10 miles would be worse off due to fallout...

I would reprogram the simulation and be the only person who survived it.

What?!? It worked for James Kirk.

I would raid the supply cloest and steal a few hundred pencils. I would then tape them all together.

My über lead pencil suit would protect me from the blast.

I will try to fly from the top of the building 5 seconds before the bomb explode.
