Oasis. Green trees and plants in Fallout 3
2Oasis is a settlement in the Capital Wasteland which is full of trees and green plants. It is located north-west of Clifftop shacks and north-east of Broadcast tower LP8. Birds can also be heard singing once inside the gate, suggesting that animal life has been flourishing here. It must be entered from the northwest.
Oasis was originally a mine, but after the Great War it became just another part of the wastes. That was until Harold and Bob, a uniquely mutated product of the Forced Evolutionary Virus (or FEV), arrived. Harold hosted a tree growing from his head which he likes to call Bob and at times "Herbert" because, as he says, "Bob hates it". The grafted human and tree eventually found themselves overwhelmed by Bob's plant needs and became rooted to the ground ending their travels through the Capital Wasteland region sometime after 2241.
Here, they were discovered by several people who began to worship Harold as a god. These few grew to be a small and sometimes exclusive cult known as the Treeminders. These dogmatic few began to form, in secrecy, a full religion. Bob began to blossom (which Harold apparently finds embarrassing), and many plants grew in this area, which became green with life, a stark and dramatic contrast to the rest of the wasteland.
When the player character arrives he or she is urged to talk to Harold. After a "cleansing ritual" held by the Treeminders, the player character meets with Harold. After learning his history, the player character is given the option of either killing him, increasing his fertility, or slowing it down. This is the main plot/quest element for Oasis, and each choice has its own repercussions with the Treeminders and can affect the player character's Karma.
