📋 About This Mod
The mod fixes an issue with Drowners and Drowner Dead not being affected by the Necrophage Oil, even though they are Necrophages - they had a wrong category in their .utc files. I also decided to add Devourers. We don't meet them too often,
The developers had probably planned at some point to classify drowners as a different monster type. One we can more or less call as "Cursed", with monsters like archespores or werewolves found in it.
I think I went through every drowner found in the game files. There are two versions provided: for the FCR 1. 6 users and the vanilla players.
The affected drowners have "Permanent Bodies" enabled. The mod is incompatible with mods that edit the same .utc files.
Update: I've added the Devourers fix for the vanilla game - it was fixed by default in FCR 1. 6. I'm sure Devourers are scary, but they definitely aren't Vampires. Now they are Necrophages as they should be.
Update 1. 1 merges the files into one folder - nothing new has been changed/added, if you have already downloaded the mod, you do not need to download it again.
Installation:
Choose the version you need (FCR or vanilla), and drop the folder into Data/Override.
Uninstallation:
Remove the folder from Data/Override
