You don't buy that they are a reference to the Lovecraftian Mythos?

Even though they called the Deep Ones, and appear in the quest "Shadow Over Hackdirt", where you visit a remote, desolate town with unwelcoming inhabitants who turn out to be cultists worshipping the Deep Ones.

While Lovecraft's Deep Ones  appear in the story "Shadow Over Innsmouth", where the protagonist visits a remote, desolate town with unwelcoming inhabitants who turn out to be cultists worshipping the Deep Ones.
