    I'm not really familiar with the lore you've used here, but I enjoyed reading and learning. The presentation is absolutely top-notch, and I love the aesthetic that you've communicated through the visuals

    Great work and happy ot add my 'like' to this one

    Hoh shit, I've got no idea about the source material Liss but hot damn I love the imagery here, going with the black and white for the screenshots is just incredibly awesome, even more so with the dashes of colour that the quotes/titles and all add in. Just shit damn, this really makes me want to play a version of Fallout 4 that is black and white with just blood splatters as colour, god damn it's just awesome :D

    Can't say much for the gameplay, cause I still don't feel comfortable enough with F4's gameplay to mention anything, but anything with a Shotgun is totally fine with me, so it's a win-win in my eyes.

    Yes, I wanted to be respectful to the genera that gave you Grindhouse and also Sin City, and because of the bleakness of the Wasteland, i decided Black and White was the best call. Makes me wonder if there's a mod that'll take out the color from the game. Usually people like it more vibrant, there is a vivid landscape, but I wonder if there's stuff for the opposite end, like a sepia shader or even black and white? 

    Funny, it's been the only game that's really hooked me in since Skyrim. I've tried a bunch of others, but this is the one besides Skyim that I play consistently. I love shotguns. I think they, both the double barrel and the combat shotgun, are my favorite weapons in the game. Like I have said, something about the finality of the noise that does it for me. I know there are better weapons out in the Commonwealth, I've tried them, but I always come back to the shotgun. If the lever action rifle was more practical from an ammunition standpoint, I'd use it too, but usually by the time I get to Far Harbour, Justice or my double barrel is maxed out and Imma like why bother, you know? But still, would love to give Old Reliable a solid try one day though.

    Oh my, this is fantastic! As always the artwork is amazing. The way you use color (or rather lack of) in the build is on point; It's an easy +1 for me. While I don't knw anything about the film I do love the ideas behind the character himself. I've only ever played one "old man" build with Fallout, need to purchase the ultimate edition for my xbox soon. Looking forward to Machete as well :D

    Haha I've got you there Lis; on the Nexus is a filter practically designed for Sin City. I think it may say so in the description as well...

    I don't normally pay much attention to builds, but this one was very well-written and well-presented and made me go and watch the actual movie it's based on. I loved it! Great dark comedy, especially the part with the... Santa Claus...
