Description

This mod is a small (but hopefully exciting) quest, in which you will find a wolf as a companion, including a few more hidden benefits and surprises.

Uncover the mystery of a haunted house in order to find the wolf. You'll also have to perform certain additional actions to turn him into a companion. And finally, there will be even something more to discover...

The quest story isn't really extensive, but rather short and straightforward. Be warned, however, that there's a specific time limit for solving the main puzzle. If you aren't quick enough, you will fail at least partially. This is all the more worth mentioning as some parts of the quest require patience! At several points you'll have to wait for hours or even days to be able to proceed (which can also be done in "wait mode", of course). This is meant to be part of the thrill. If you should fail the time limit, refer to the walkthrough and the FAQ included in it.

You can start this quest at any level, but I especially recommend playing it with a low level character early in the game, for several reasons:

• It doesn't require any combat (unless you intentionally seek it out)!
• You can gain animal companions (very helpful for weak characters)!
• You can gain a decent player home for free (usually quite rare at low levels, while you're still poor)!
• You can benefit from a special, refreshing healing effect!

Patches/Addons

• A patch for Better Cities is included in the archive. It was developed and tested with version 5.2.3a.

Notes

• Compatible with overhauls like OOO (Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul), MMM (Martigen's Monster Mod), BC (Better Cities) and UL (Unique Landscapes).
• Running this mod together with A Family Problem by Videniofthesith (version 3.8c) breaks my quest! This is due to a bug in the other mod (see this discussion). So I recommend, until it gets fixed on the other side, not to use both mods at the same time. Until then, only the mod which loads last in the load order wins!
• There's a conflict with LGs Vampire Bloodlines v2 by Lord_Gallant, which can cause sporadic crashes when the player dies after the wolf has turned into a companion. The reasons are hitherto unknown, but the author will try to provide a patch in the future.
• Incompatibility with Verona bloodline in Skingrad and no patch currently exist ( An house cover VHB's well)
