Forum:Does keeping Harold alive make Wasteland greener?

I am at the point in Oasis where I must decide to kill Harold and Bob, or let them live. I have a save of both killing him and doubling his growth, but I am not sure if it really makes a difference in the overall game. I would like to keep him alive and well and spreading across the wastes, but not sure if that happens or if Oasis is hurt by the added growth and greenness with more Raiders and Enclave.

I am holding off on playing now for a good answer, so if someone can give me a short and precise answer to the problem let me know so i can go back to my game.

I just have this special place in my heart for oasis and want to make sure I can go back in the game and rest and relax after few days in the Wastes.

Live or die, does it really make a real difference in the overall game? Can someone really briefly give a synopsis of the two choices and what it does to the game??

Well, if you wanna be able to take refuge there, killing Harold and Bob is a no-no. As for making a difference in the game, there is no actual game difference outside of the oasis, and no other reprocussions to speak of. This is purely up to you, I suggest doing whatever gets YOU more in the end. Cheers. -SoProTheyGoWoah

Actually, there is a difference ingame, if you save Harold and use the option to increase his output of seeding(Leaf Mother). This will actually place sparce, green bushes around the wasteland adding a small bit of color to a dreary landscape. Carinth

It doesnt affect the game world, the point of applying the stuff on his heart is so that the wasteland will become greener in a couple of Decades instead of a couple of centuries , so no there would not be any immediate difference in the game world
