Hello Nukapedians! My name is Chris the Saiyan, and I will be reviewing mods for Fallout 3 for Gizmo's Workshop. This week I have chosen an underrated little gem for all of you who enjoy killing as much as I do (I enjoy it a lot). The mod I chose is called Zombie Apocalypse. The title should give you an idea of what it entails.
What does this mod do?
This simple mod will transform your Capital Wasteland into one where people will literally be fighting for their lives. Zombies, who have been uniquely textured, are now roaming the wastes in search of anything to kill. Be it mutants, ghouls, robots, or humans, the zombies don't care. They are not singularly challenging to defeat - one zombie being roughly equivalent to a single feral ghoul. But they are everywhere, and can easily outnumber you if you aren't well armed.
This mod provides a fresh experience for those of you who have grown a bit tired of the dullness of wandering the wasteland and only encountering a creature here and there. This mod is not recommended for a serious playthrough though - zombies can and will kill important characters. As can be seen in the screenshots below, zombies took over Doc Hoff's Caravan. The description for this mod states that there is a 20% chance of a character becoming infected and turning into a zombie after dying. This seemed to be the case with Doc Hoff, as his inventory remained in a zombies body.
Are the zombies like they are in movies?
The zombies didn't seem very smart.... Whether this was intentional or not is anyone's guess. Also seen in the screenshots, I jumped on top of a car in Springvale, and they did not attempt to attack me there, while other creatures typically do.
The creator of this mod included links to several other mods that can affect how this mod looks, and while I haven't checked them out, they sound quite interesting.I definitely recommend this mod to anybody who has beaten Fallout 3 and wants to live out a different type of apocalypse.
