Fallout 3 Walkthrough (Modded) Part 252

The Mantis Radio reports more anomalies across the wasteland. This is the fifth episode of The Mantis Imperative.

From the mod page: "...If you have Mantis radio turned on, you'll occasionally get anomaly notifications from
Mantis. These are smaller adventure areas that open up on a semi-random basis. When you're alerted of one, it updates a note in your journal with the transcript of the broadcast, so if you miss some voice work, that log will help you identify what's happening with the anomaly."

Note: ENB replaces Reshade, Cinematech, Dynavision, and other visual mods. All the episodes from now on were recorded on a more powerful computer.

The mods I used in this series are listed here. Also, the complete playlist is now available on Youtube and Odysee.
