Devoured in Darkness
One fine Wasteland day, your trusty Pip-Boy picks up a new radio signal... it seems to be some sort of cry for help, along with the promise of a rich reward. Answering it may be the last mistake of your all-too-short life...
===Installation=== Extract all files to your Fallout 3Data folder, being sure to keep full paths. Activate Devoured in Darkness.esp before launching Fallout 3. Upon launching the game, you will pick up a new radio signal and be given the quest.
===Features=== -One horror-themed quest -Dozens of voice-acted lines -One new weapon and two new unique versions of old equipment, all properly balanced -One outrageously powerful weapon usable at a particular point in the story -A way to obtain the Cannibal perk via story events -A possible, though "unofficial", player home
===Information===
Here be possible spoilers.
Devoured in Darkness adds a horror-themed quest involving the Lone Wanderer's capture by a cannibal and her subsequent journey through a nightmarish hallucination from which she must break free to escape with her life. This quest places its primary emphasis on puzzle-solving using dreamlike logic, and even the battles cannot be won with firepower alone; players who prefer pure action games may not find Devoured in Darkness to their liking. In addition, events throughout the storyline may have unexpected story consequences at the end; the player is advised to save the game in a new slot before beginning the quest.
===Known Issues=== -Devoured in Darkness is heavily scripted. The use of console commands to "sequence break" will very likely render the quest unfinishable. -This quest modifies the terrain north of Minefield and south of the power plant; it will conflict with any other mod which places objects in this area. -Bethesda's lip-synching software unfortunately doesn't play nicely with my voice actress; characters' lips will move, but in improper ways. -Quest items given in the DLC's and other mods will not be removed with the rest of the Lone Wanderer's gear; if she equips outside weapons or armor at the wrong time, problems may occur. See the first warning.
