Fallout 3 mod proves that the apocalypse wasn’t as bad as we thought

that's great, i remember 3 dog saying that there is some kind of lush green tree area in the wasteland somewhere but I never found it… I really thought i'd get to the are he was referring to before i completed the game too…

Far north, in the middle (ish) of the northern edge, surrounded by mountains.

i wish Bethesda would release this for the XBOX LIVE version. I'd buy it, hands down.

@Jonathan: You didn't complete the game if you didn't do any of the side quests.

@ryan: Of course you know, Bethesda has nothing to do with this, it is a mod, and its absolutely FREE. –Only on the PC.

man i wish they at least released DLC for the ps3 version TT.TT oh well

ahahahahah awesome. i bought fallout 3 on ps3, but since bethesda are dicks and not giving it any dlc, i decided to sell it to my causen and by it for PC now that i just bought one that can atcually handle new games. and when i do buy it (as soon as i can afford it) im totally downloading this mod. very nice find!

kinda seems like a bad joke in light of all the "fallout is just a reskinned oblivion" criticisms that went round last year. oh well. (and morrowind was way better than either of them! yeah, i know i'm hardly the first person to make that observation… but c'mon, morrowind was frickin' awesome! morrowind = best western rpg since the heydey of the ultima series. truly a phenomenal game.)

Y are talking about the oasis.. and yes it exists ;)

man i've been all up in there! looking for it. i don't like to go to the internets for this kinda stuff usually, but man, i've really been to the middle northern edge and i did not find it. is it near the big satelite com tower?

i did a good amount of the side quests, but i'm certaintly not a completist. By "complete" i meant i finished the game, beat the game, or in other words, completed the game's final mission.

back up that morrowind claim, homeboy. Why is it the best since ultima?

it's called the Oasis

This is retarded, if you think this is cool you missed the point of Fallout.

If you think people are retarded for liking this, you've missed the point of the mod. You're also a bit of a twat.

Agreed, Fallout is supposed to be harsh post-nuke apocalypse terrain. I have no problem with adding extra small pockets of lushness, as with Oasis, but making the whole place green? That just detracts from the storyline of "Later son/daughter, I'm going to go purify the water for the DC area so people can drink and trees can grow."

I think it's a fun concept if you've had your fill of the game. But for those who've yet to finish it, no it wouldn't make sense.

It is Oasis, and it is up in the rocks in the far North about in the middle of the map. You have to look for the entrance on the west side of of the rocks though. There is a quest perk there called BarkSkin, but you have to make the right choice to get it; it pretty easy.
Cheers.

true the mod removes the feel of a nuclear fallout rpg , but i will say at times i miss the grass and trees that oblivioun [ and morrowind for people who for some odd reason take offense when people reference to oblivioun more then morowind] its fun and all to see everything destroyed but sometimes it gets dull so i would say this mod is a beautiful mod to have if you have beat fallout 3 and want to have some fun , im only curious about what happens to the irritated water and irratied zones in the game? and im planning on getting the pc version for the mods sense im almost done beating the game 10o percent on the 360 , huge fan of fallout games XD
