btw ... were can I find the pose with cigarette ?
Aye I know its very esoteric and unrealistic. I like my fantasy what can I say. The Fenrir stuff is over the top but it ties into my book idea. I would love to write a book. Not really to publish but just to do. I have been toying with an idea for years now - well before FO4 and even before Skyrim. Basically tied to an alternative earth where mythologies have some reality to them tied to belief. As science took over gods and demons and all all manner of legends faded into just stories. But at one time belief in those things meant there were Norse gods and Fenrir existed. When belief stops they don't totally die (there is always lingering memories and archetypes left over in the human consciousness) but fade away.
Gaia (Mother Earth) has always existed and represents the life force of the planet. Perhaps each planet with life has its own personality and soul but thats a topic for another day. Anyhow Gaia senses a threat. An Enemy seeks to bring about an apocalypse in an effort to drain her life energy, destroying Earth in the process and opening up a portal to a realm that hungers for matter and energy. The enemy has some ability to manipulate events through time and space but lack any way to directly open a gateway between their Universe of dark matter and dark energy to our own realm.
Gaia needs a protector as she is not able to act directly to stop them, it isn't how her mind or existence works - she is more am embodiment of all living things and her influence is mainly over Earth itself. She makes a deal with Fenrir. The Norse gods are dying/fading away as Christian beliefs take over. She saves Fenrir from where he is tied in chains if he will serve as her guardian. He agrees for reasons of his own. He creates a network of agents and spies. Mostly humans who do his work on Earth.
Wolf was his first agent and the main character in the story. The story starts in ancient Norse times and moves forward to present day Earth where lack of resources, strife, and the manipulations of the Enemy and their own agents are priming Earth for nuclear war. Wolf's job, along with his bonded soul mate, a wolf, is to stop the war from happening and save Gaia. He gets his training back in old Norse days but dies protecting Fenrir from an attack by the Enemy. Fenrir saves his soul and moves it to the future where he becomes a guerilla rebel fighting against the Enemy.
I wrote a few stories on this for Skyrim using the Skyrim game to do some of the images for the old Norse time period. But had to change the book story to adapt to Skyrim. Likewise I use FO4 for the future but had to adapt the story again since in FO4 the war occurred. Here the war occured but Fenrir and Wolf were able to blunt it - preventing the complete annihilation of all life which prevented the Enemy from opening their gateway. Now the Enemy uses the Institute as their tool to finish the job - replacing all life with synthetic life forms that will then finish the destruction of Gaia and the planet.
So that is more what the story is about. In a lot of ways Fenrir, the Enemy, and all the supernatural stuff is in the background as flavor. I basically play the game as Fenn being a genetically designed soldier who broke the implants and AI programs in his head to develop his own personality and free will (or as I like to day dream at times Fenn is me and its my soul that awakens in him but in that case its more a generic idea of how I might end up in such a world ... I do that with almost every game I play ... try to come up with a way I might end up in that world and how I might react and adapt to what is happening. While I play a specific character my day dreaming is more general and not tied to a specific character as much as a concept of a character I would like to be ... getting off track again.). A little opposite of a Synth - which is a machine mimicking real life while Fenn is real life mimicking a machine. Where those boundaries lay is very gray and unclear.
Fenn escapes the laboratory, thanks to help from Wolf, and in the process frees some canine experiments (aka Dogmeat) in the process. They all get separated while being hunted (both by the Enclave and by the Enemy) and then the Great War happens. Fenrir hides his soul in Fenn as they enter a deep winter sleep inside Vault 111. Wolf likewise enters a deep sleep in a hidden chamber below Vault 111.
They wake up and Fenn is given the memories of Nate, thanks to Wolf. He is now trying to unravel everything as well as adapt to this world he finds himself in.
With glasses it certainly get's more obvious why he would choose to side with the minuteman,...
The glasses give him a fun geek look although he doesn't need them as he has perfect vision thanks to the genetic tampering of Vault-Tec and the Enclave scientists.
Great shots, love the first one. I've heard this ENB is highly customize.
The ENB is very customizable. Some learning curve but even just playing around with the two film stock options can do a lot. I am just waiting for him to add the focus GUI controls to the DOF to be completely happy with it :)
Was just making a new outfit then on way .......
I can't play Fenn without Dogmeat and MacCready (aka Big Mac). Just isn't right. One reason I can't stick too long with Wolf - he is fun and I like the melee combat but I miss having Mac around and it wouldn't feel right if Mac was with Wolf. Plus Wolf is more of a guardian personality and First Guard to Fenrir. Wolf is more someone I admire and would want protecting me and less someone I see as myself. He is more like Grim being the very noble bigger than life hero type. The kind of person you feel safe and secure around. Fenn is more gray with his selfish weaknesses even though at his core he is basically a good person ... just that, like Mac, he loses his way now and then as he lacks the confidence and certainty of life's purpose that Grim and Wolf have.
Perhaps that is why I like Grim or Wolf in Skyrim as there its the fantasy hero thing. While in FO4 I feel its more of a struggle to balance survival and meet ones own needs while trying to do good. Strangely I just see FO4 as more violent and dangerous than Skyrim.
So aye you get used to having certain companions around you.
Lol @ new oufit. I know the feeling :) Although I am pretty wedded to my leather pants for both my guys.
