Well I mean that would probably be more interesting than some ancient aliens bullshit

But would it excuse it, simply for being interesting? (Yeah the alien crap that's already it is bad, but a Predator IP crossover would be pretty egregious IMO.)
It was lovecraft.
Lovecraft wrote a story called "Out of the aeons" which features The Cabot Museum, which is built into a former private mansion, in the Beacon Hill district of Boston, and Cabot House is a mansion located in the Beacon Hill district of Boston in Fallout 4.

Nice. But Lovecraft and Fallout? With a whole quest and characters? Does not work.
We already got a Lovecraft quest + characters in Point Lookout.

The good ending involved takes a supposedly magic book to a building in D.C., and pressing it against a large stone pillar, with what looks like a human fused into it, located underground, where it bursts into flames and catches everything around it on fire.
The book was called the Krivbeknih, and the pillar was called The Altar of Ug-Qualtoth.

Oh that bullshit. Yeah, just saying that's in Fallout 3 and I dislike the Lovecraft themes in their too.

Slippy sloppy, The
I do. It just needs the right timing and the right context. And there comes a point when it stops being silly and fun and becomes flat out stupid.

"IRRC Harold himself explains (in a round-about way) that he is an FEV mutant; same as Richard Grey ~though not as extreme.
It's not explicitly explained as such, I think. It's mostly just commonly accepted that ghouls are created by intense and prolonged exposure to radiation, like in Necropolis, and not through (incomplete) FEV exposure like Harold and Talius, because Tim Cain said so
*Is Necropolis radiated? (Might be a silly question, but it's been a while , and I don't actually remember; I know it's nothing like West-Tec.)
It's the accepted reason, but I don't see any reason that it had to just (or only) be the radiation side effects of the bombs... It's open that any number of things could have been the cause besides just the radiation.
Necropolis, also known as the City of the Dead, is a ghoul city upon the remains of Bakersfield, located in southern California.
This Greek word meaning "city of the dead" refers to this strangely silent ghost town. Most of the buildings are intact, but travelers report that no one seems to live there, and people who arrive to settle it either end up with radiation sickness or simply disappear. The truth of the matter involves a small population of ghouls beneath the city's streets.
Necropolis is east of the Hub, about halfway between it and Hoover Dam. Merchants usually avoid Necropolis altogether, or plan their trips so that they pass it during the daylight hours, as it has a bad reputation. The ghouls are intensely afraid of outsiders, and prefer guerrilla tactics to keep their city safe. There are unsubstantiated rumors that the Master and his minions wiped out the ghoul population, but caravans traveling through the area still avoid Necropolis and tell stories of ghost-like humans in tattered clothes.

Yeah that description ignores the small amount of caravans trading there for water.

Harold is not a ghoul. Think I should just say that so others don't get that idea.
