Redoing this poll as I goofed by not including the followers of the apocalypse.

My 4 favorite companions in the Commonwealth! Deacon will always be my #1, but Nick is a very close 2nd~

I've been working on this mini project for about 2 months now, I'm really glad it's completed! At least, I think it's done...I might go back and do more edits ^^;

Preston was the easiest to draw, while Nick was definitely the hardest! Here's the list of the reference photos I used:

Deacon Danse Nick Preston

I'm probably going to draw more New Vegas fanart next. But my followers on IG requested Bioshock first! And I have some Smiling Friends doodles to share soon as well :3

I love how Sturges is like one of the smartest guys in Fallout 4.

He’s one Mechanic.

He builds a teleporter. He hacks the Institute. He figures out how to blow up the Prydwen.

He’s insanely cracked.

Preston is just like “oh yeah Sturges can do this” and I’m like “IS HE MAGIC?”

The Institute missed a trick not hiring him

The Minute Men are filled with trans people because Curie knows how to synthesize hormones and it’s honestly been the most effective thing when it comes to finding recruits.

I wish there was more functionality with disrupting the different factions in Fallout 4. It would be so cool if you could stealth kill someone important and it would effect all of the factions they contribute to without you necessarily become enemies with the faction if you do it right. (Spoilers ahead)

Kill Liam Benêt? No more synths are able to escape the Institute. You have to claim innocence when the Railroad realizes something’s wrong and when the Institute realizes the kid’s dead frame someone else, reveal Liam was betraying them, or have great difficulty trying to appear uninvolved with the killing entirely.

Kill Prof Scara or Doctor Li? The Liberty Prime project is dead or stalled. Maybe this means you can no longer end the game with the Brotherhood (like what happens when you blow your undercover mission with the Railroad).

Finally shut that asshole Doctor Ayo up for good? Someone else becomes the acting head of the SRB possibly even making the program less reactionary or prioritized by Father as a new acting head may not steal extra energy or find it necessary to hunt down every single escaped synth.

There are so many interesting possibilities, I could go on forever. Imagine if you could somehow stealth kill Desdemona and the Railroad suffers or becomes less concerned with casualties or empathy towards humans under their new leader Dr. Carrington.

In another life maybe…

The Minutemen - The Channel, Boston, Massachusetts, July 22, 1984

The Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime hit the 40 year mark recently. By everything that is holy, there should be a commemorative box set that celebrates and expands upon this classic double LP. But no! As ever, curse you, Greg Ginn! In the meanwhile, the Quietus just published a great appreciation by Stewart Smith:

A glorious affirmation of working-class creativity, The Minutemen’s Double Nickels on the Dime is a left-modernist epic that draws inspiration from James Joyce’s Ulysses, post punk, free jazz, country and folk. Tearing through 47 tracks in just under 80 minutes, the trio of guitarist D. Boon, bassist Mike Watt and drummer George Hurley present a vision of punk that is stylistically plural, politically committed, humane, earthy and absurd, all underpinned by an econo philosophy that remains an inspiration to DIY artists forty years later. Like Ulysses, Double Nickels is a cosmopolitan work of art that draws great strength from the community its authors came from. But while Joyce had to leave Dublin in order to write his masterpiece, The Minutemen made a point of staying in San Pedro, a working-class port at the southern edge of Los Angeles. 

For a soundtrack, dig a killer tape of The Minutemen econo-jamming their way through a powerful set in Boston just a few weeks after Double Nickels hit the racks. This ain't no picnic!

I threw together an album cover for the fiddle tracks that play on Radio Freedom in Fallout 4

I couldn't find names for the individual tracks anywhere, so I came up with some that I thought were fitting

Preston, they'll never make me hate you

I like that Preston gives you quests actually because:

1) I’m really in love with him

2) I’m deranged about the minutemen

3) It makes a bunch of sense for his character- he’s the last Minutemen!!

4) The first quest I did was the Castle & then he stops giving you quests! Or at least he did for me

5) I love Preston. I love him.

Love it when Preston Garvey gives me the same quest again and again like YES pookie another settlement DOES need my help, you are so right about that!
