Beautiful Oasis
God, I don't want to leave this place, after seeing so much destruction with a shocking effect when I left the Vault... Goekhan 14:47, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

The two ghouls and the two escaped slaves is not a situation there is specific for Oasis, it just seems like a random event that can be encountered anywhere.--87.54.195.59 20:16, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm going to edit that.69.136.147.205 02:29, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Nobody seems to have mention the "damp caves" accessible at the bottom of the pool in the far southeast corner of the grove that contains Harold. I tried to investigate it but I can't seem to do anything about the two mirelurk kings and one mirelurk that greet me as soon as i enter... thoughts?

Mini-Gun, blow em' away, end of story. Vault 815 02:28, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

Should it be mentioned that Three Dog mentions the Oasis during one of his news reports? 76.68.98.113 03:33, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, you can go into the Damp Cave now and kill off the Mirelurks. But that cave is also the exit point after going through the Oasis Caverns to deal with Harold's heart. Some may choose to go in there first and deal with the Mirelurks, but it seems easier to me to go through the Oasis Caverns, journey through the tunnels to Harold. When you do, you come to that same Damp Cave, but you overlook it from a ledge, making it easier to dispatch the Mirelurks. --Sp3lly 21:06, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

When you ask the tree about any loot lying around, he mentions he has left such items in one of the bushes or something of the likes, has anyone found it?

Reply to notes: <"All of the meat off of the Mirelurks, Mirelurk Hunters and Mirelurk Kings had 0 radiation in the Oasis Caverns. I'm not sure if this was a glitch." >(This is due to your radiation resistance; at 0% Rad resist, most food is +3 Rads and Yao Guai Meat is +10 Rads. At 37% Rad Resist, most food is +1 Rad Resist and Yao Guai Meat is +6 Rads. At 85% Rad Resist, most food is +0 Rads and Yao Guai Meat is + 1 Rads.) --Ripvanwinkle111 16:24, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Shouldn't we edit that part out if it doesn't really have anything to do with Oasis? Plus some fool is going to come in speculating that Oasis has magical anti-rad powers that lie within the cave.

I really wish there was a way (Non mod, im a 360 owner) to make the wasteland look like Oasis.98.151.125.19 21:58, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Crashes
When i talk to this tree at somepoint (at start of new sentence in a dialog) the game crashes to desktop with an "fallout3.exe has stopped working" error. I wonder how i can get out of that place now, i haven't done every dialog choise jet, but i think it will crash everytime.

Happens to me as well, happens on all 3 dialog choices. I can't finish the damn quest because of this.

Whenever I try to enter Oasis my 360 crashes this really annoys me because i cant see oasis.

Broken Steel - Oasis
I earlier completed Oasis several times. Now am play round main play, Anchorage, Broken Steel and only now initiated quest Oasis. When the begin conversation with Harold - play will fall to the Windows exactly in same place - quest it is impossible finish.
 * jeez, revise your grammar. I can't understand what you are attempting to say.

I'll explain. He has completed Operation Anchorage and Broken Steel, But now his game crashes when he talks to Harold during Oasis. My only answer for this is to go into your files and check whether Harolds Dat. Files are corrupt. If all else fails, Re-install Fallout 3. TheLoneWanderer2 10:59, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Theory
Has anyone else considered that these plants may be surviving because of Harold's Ghoul physiology? Ghouls are immune to radiation, and Bob has been in a symbiotic relationship with Harold for decades. If Bob managed to absorb that facet of Ghoulification, we are looking at an entirely new species of plant, adapted for life in the Wasteland.

The implications of the Oasis botanicals are even greater then Project Purity. The plants are thriving on irradiated water, which means seedlings from Harold's grove could live anywhere in the Wasteland, clean water or not. This heralds (sorry) a return to an agrarian, farming-based civilization from the hunter-gatherer barbarism of the Wasteland. Fresh Vegetables! Fat Brahmin! Wheat! Gentlemen, the age of the Cheeseburger *will* come again in our lifetime!


 * YAY CHEESEBURGERS!--Kajex Firedrake 06:09, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Harold is not a ghoul...hes an FEV mutant Im Watching You,bitch. 18:16, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Still, he IS immune to radiation, and all the water in Oasis is irradiated. Fat Man Spoon 18:18, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * True....if he expands the wasteland wwont be so dull....and maybe people can get better communites living off fruit from the trees...plus there WILL be enviromentalists trying to save the fucking tree's Im Watching You,bitch. 18:20, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Harold IS a ghoul. He was the ghoul in fallout 1 who tells you about the deathclaw. AND in fallout 2 he was the new leader of the town "Gecko" (the ghoul town, mind you. Only in fallout 2 is he seen with the branch growing out of his head.. which was named Bob... --- Fallout Fanatic


 * Nope...i ahnilated everything in their complex with my modded Turbo Plasma Rifle...it now only costs 4 AP to shoot thanks to Seraphs fallout 2 mod...and since i have fast shot and bonus rate of fire.it only costs 2....making it BETTER than that shitty pulse rifle that granny uses.

Funny Occurrences
I'm doing the ritual upon entry to Oasis, and Jericho says during the ceremony "I forgot how fucked up everything was out here." I know it's part of his script, but if it wasn't planned, it was GREAT timing. --namelesswalaby 26 Dec 09 2014 hrs

XD! Some of my favorites is when I set Harold on fire, and had a hostile creature near RL-3 yelled "BURN COMMIE!" but yours is by far the best. 98.151.125.19 21:51, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Other Trees
Has any one noticed that oasis is not the only place in america with trees? In the Point Lookout add-on, in varrious swamps, such as the sacred bog, have trees and plants growing in abundance.

Yes, but Point Lookout wasn't blown to shit by Nuclear Bombs as was the Capital Wasteland. It clearly says at some point in the game when playing Point Lookout that it wasn't hit by bombs. The reason there's still a bunch of radiation is because irradiated ash from burnt objects flys up into the sky and it floats all over the place and when it falls it passes the irradiation on to the area. Given that Point Lookout is extremely close(well extremely close when talking about Nuclear Bombs) to Capital Wasteland, it probably was given high dose of irradiated ash. This is called Nuclear Winter or Snow because it's not really a Winter unless there's a bunch of bombs. My point in all this is that it's an anomally that plants were able to begin growing in the Capital Wasteland in such little time, 2 centuries is a short time when dealing with repopulating barren areas. So that's why Oasis is such a big deal because plants were able to grow in places that sustained direct bombing rather than secondary effects from the bombs (Point Lookout).

No, this is called FALLOUT. The term "Nuclear Winter" refers to the mini-iceage that might follow a major nuclear exchange due to dust, ash, and smoke blocking solar radiation and thereby cooling the entire planet. --Remontoi 10:42, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Referances
Many of the refrences are so far-fetched its ridiculous. There is no way bethesda based an entire quest on a song that does not match up at all.

Harold is the Ghoul from fallout 1 and 2.

Top of Oasis
I play on xbox, and I was able to reach the top of the rocks outside of oasis. Inside the hole where oasis is there is a wooden gate, and I was wondering if anybody knows what that gate is for. When I try to interact with the gate, it just says "closed" and "open"Tehuberleetmaster 20:27, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

I came across a ladder leading to unfinished map somewhere (I forget), and it could be opened and closed as well. LJ Carrion 02:12, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

Black Screen Glitch
When I activate my Pip-Boy light, and I head south (right) from the entrance toward the "owned" beds, my screen goes black. I can still move around, but I can't see anything until I leave that area or turn off my Pip-Boy light. I'm playing the PS3 version, vanilla, up to date. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just my game?--The.true.samiam 17:32, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Multiple rewards
I have an idea to get multiple reward items, but first I need someone on a pc to check something. If you get up on the rocks on the outside of oasis, there is a door where oasis is. I need someone to make it say "open". Then go through the ceremony when you "purify" yourself with the drink. Before you talk to harold, go through the damp cave and see if you can open the door to the sunken chambers. I'm thinking that the gate might open the door to the chambers. I would do it myself, but I use an xbox and it takes hours to stack the 5mm ammo to make the stairs. Tehuberleetmaster 23:02, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

Bug needing confirmation
moved from article--Gothemasticator 08:57, December 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Sometimes when entering Oasis at any time and turning right the screen will turn black. Looking up or walking backwards will make you see again but entering again will make you unable to see.(confirmed on PS3)(needs confirmation on other platforms)
