I usually put one gate on that house to maintain access to the underground shelter behind it, but yeah, it was usually an exercise of sealing up all the hedge gaps to try and funnel raiders up main street into a turreted kill box.

For my style, Fallout games are just a little too open world, I've never finished one. The Borderlands games clicked a little better because they were still kind of on the rails, and 'random monster spawn' isn't really a variable, every aggro zone is predictable once you've been there 2-3x.

And, if they'd tried to make Fallout a movie in the way so many other game-based movies have been handled, that would be half the movie.

As somebody who put an inordinate amount of time into the games, there's big areas where its kind of implied that you should do all the side stuff first; The Dust in 2, Eden6 in 3. Most major bosses were infuriating if you weren't leveled to them.

Or in my case: "But first, I must spend 6 hours moving All the picket fence in Sanctuary Hills just precisely so as to create the perfect boundary wall."

Immediate patch required:
Hollow points
Bolter shells
Razor mesh (like the Predator thing, a snare net that's just razor wire)
Know what, just gimme a Predator game set in Nazi Germany, it would never get boring.

So every every drive would have a 7 minute establishing shot to endure, and if something dramatic happened time would slow down arbitrarily, and the whole world would have a dour desaturated quality (above and beyond it being winter right now)...

This might be an obscure take, but the eyes and mustache made me think of Steve Barkett from the 1982 film The Aftermath.

Can confirm, tried making one up myself: ArgilCorp, and it's an Ecuadorian poultry and dairy farm from the looks of it.

Im not even American, but I regularly fantasize about doing a Dr Manhattan and just erasing those centers from existence, and watch the billionaires' stock value plummet 80%+.

So this is a common Sororitas issue... as I discussed in a past convo, this step was a bitch; upper arm needed to be part of the gun bit.

"Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this... oh, wait. This isn't a movie, it's a book. Alright, so I'm currently pinned underneath a jetski on a golf course. For this to make any sense, let me take you back three weeks to my brother's wedding..."

One of my favorite color discoveries is using blue sharpie (brush-tip style) over blue primer to make my Sororitas cloaks look like actual satin (bearer featured again, the only one I got snaps of in daylight). Micron pens also a gamechanger.

I got a neat effect on this cultist; body was primed white, I drew on the skullcap pattern with a micron pen and then did a thin wet coat of balor over top.
Yeah, the eyes are rough, macro photos give me anxiety.

Pretty sure that what I'm doing on the nose-talon of this new zoanthrope is drybrushing, I've mostly done it on Nids to give the carapace a weathered look (there's a bit on his back smokestacks too). Don't think I've done a lot if it on human units.

Advice always welcome. Brush quality is a huge factor, and I just did get some new brushes, and its a Huge comfort improvement.
My eye trick these days is a shaved-down toothpick; touch paint, touch eye, hope it looks passable.
