The Secret of Huntress Manor - A Far Harbor Story

Narrative Description

Hidden within the woods of Huntress Island, enveloped by fog, stands Huntress Manor. Once the home of the reclusive but brilliant Professor R. S. G. Hunter, the manor has been abandoned since his sudden, unexplained, death in 1877; it is now known only to the wolves that call the forest their home. Little do they know, the manor holds a terrible secret.

Back on the planks of Far Harbor a ghoul adventurer named Ronald has arrived carrying a locked wooden chest. He has tried shooting it, blasting it, and getting it picked by the best locksmiths in the land but nothing has been able to open it. Now, drawn to the island by 19th century correspondence describing a “locked box” he believes that the secret to unlocking the box can be found in the halls of Huntress Manor. Not a skilled combatant, Ronald seeks a second party to help him unlock the Secret of Huntress Manor. But perhaps some secrets are best left forgotten…

This mod will expand on existing lore in the Fallout universe surrounding "Ug-Qualtoth", references to which can be found in Fallout 3's Dunwich Building and Fallout 4's Dunwich Borers. The mod will add a couple of hours of new content that will take you all around The Island.

Installing and Starting the Mod

(Potential spoilers if you have not played the Far Harbor DLC)

If you have not disabled the Fog Condensers in the course of the DLC, you can find Ronald at Far Harbor. If you have destroyed Far Harbor you can still play the mod, in this case Ronald can be found at a small camp in the road to east of the Nucleus. You must have at least gone through the first conversation with Avery and been directed to speak to Longfellow before you can start the mod.

A rare bug has meant I needed to edit one of the scenes in this mod. Sometimes the scene after the "survive" objective would skip and the mod would become unplayable. File 1. 1a is used in this case but you should try using regular 1. 1 first, in most cases 1. 1a won't be needed. 1. 1a allows the scene to be played by talking to Dunwich instead of it playing automatically. However, sometimes the game won't detect changes made to scenes without creating a clean save and reinstalling the mod. It's annoying but as I've not been able to replicate the bug this is my best solution.
