📋 About This Mod
This Mod adds the cursed Necronomicon Ex Mortis to the Dunwich Building...and some other goodies for H. P. Lovecraft and Evil Dead/Army of Darkness Fans... Bethesda attempted to reference H. P. Lovecraft but left it incomplete... The Necronomicon is referenced as well as it\'s author, Abdul Alhazred (The Mad Arab), in the Jamie Holotapes. In the holotapes, they lead you to believe the book is likely to be found in the building, as the two previous owners are still present (in a manner of speaking)...but you never find the book...so I added it, and some other \"goodies\" to the Dunwich Building... Don\'t forget the WORDS!!! This does not interfere with Point Lookout\'s quest with the \"other book\"...that quest was kind of a joke, since it had a different book... Also available in Spanish: Download my file then go to the link below for the Spanish translated esp file. http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9826 ************************************************ IMPORTANT NOTES PLEASE READ BEFORE DOWNLOADING: ************************************************ 1) The Necronomicon is Cursed, and so are the Amulets... Beware, and check your stats if you are brave enough take any of them. (The books LOWER YOUR STATS, and serve no true purpose other than to complete what Bethesda left unfinished and to decorate your Favorite House or House Mod, The Amulets are simply Activators) 2) The Dunwich Horror is supposed to be invisible... It is made temporarily visible by being shot with Professor Rice\'s Poison Sprayer (just like in the story \"The Dunwich Horror\")...complaints about this will be reported unless they pertain to this feature malfunctioning in some way...and remember...no mortal fire can hurt him (fire immunity)... 3) This is a dual reference mod... I am referencing Evil Dead AND H. P. Lovecraft mythos... If you are unfamiliar with one or the other, or even both...go to your library and local video store, you are missing out on some truly classic literature and film... 4) If you don\'t like the Book Pick-up Sounds...do not install them...or just delete them from your sounds folder if you have already installed this mod...or replace them with sounds of you in the bathroom dropping a deuce for all I care...just don\'t not bother complaining about them on the comments thread... I gave you alternatives, if you refuse to read, I\'ll just report you... 5) The Skeletons are Deadites or Evil Dead, and will behave in a similar fashion to the skeletons in Army of Darkness, like fleeing when the battle gets too tough for them, or just being a slightly annoying nuisance... 6) The Skeletons/Deadites are EVIL DEAD...key word EVIL...you are entering a Cursed Building and battling the forces of EVIL... Good Karma may be a side-effect...it\'s just Karma...it doesn\'t mean you are good, it just means you tipped the cosmic balance in one direction or the other...if you don\'t like being good, go punch a baby or take a dump on
