A new addition to the Stranger Commonwealth series, this mod which is also part of the Fallout Flood Mod Jam was surprisingly fun to make, and as I was making it the concept grew into something great but that due to time constraints, many ideas were left out of this mod. I do hope to expand upon this sometime in the future.

The Wretched are a cult-like raider group that have been pretty low profile, and have long been taking advantage of the Institute's infamy of abductions to make abductions of their own unnoticed. Lately they have shown their faces more and more in Cambridge to the displeasure of other local raiders.

What makes them stand out from the other raider gangs in the region apart from being more organized is the fact that they regularly drink blood... and for some reason that is pretty beneficial to them. They're not vampires per se, they can walk on the daylight just fine, but their strong inspiration on bloodbugs can be... unsettling. They think that through blood, just like the mosquito became the large bloodbugs, they can become something more than human as well, this fact brings little to no comfort to their victims, because if you're not killed straight away, you're captured, beaten and starved to take part in their brutal selection ritual.

Their home is secured by lock and key though, if you want to mess with them, you'll need to find the key somewhere in the area.

- New interior, a "mini-dungeon" making use of one of the many many boarded up buildings in the game.

- New Syringe melee weapon, which does low damage but causes bleeding.

- 2 New Outfits

- Bottle of Blood, just because

- Return of the Hematophage perk from Fallout 3, which increases health recovered from Blood Packs (and other blood related items).

- Locations are unmarked as a way to promote exploration, you can see the locations in the spoiler below.

Location: The house where the Wretched dwell is just south of Wattz Consumer Eletronics. Look for a house with Halloween decorations.

They key you can find somewhere heading towards the Cambridge Crater, you'll find a group of Wretched possibly in conflict with other raiders, one of them has the key.
