   Aw man, this so good. I love the shots that sorta mimic the opening cinematic, there pretty much perfect, Jessup even has that stupid grin on his face!

      Thanks! Jessup sure gets a little too excited at the opportunity to kill the Courier, huh? Unfortunately, I had switch Jessup and McMurphy because that stupid shovel is too long and would line up exactly behind Benny's head. LOL

   And I just waxed his ass on my current playthrough of New Vegas. Really like the scruff you gave him, makes Benny look a fair bit older and more of a shyster.

      Yeah, that's fair. I find Benny (and Ulysses) to be really interesting and use mods to add them as companions, but it's nice that we have so many different choices for dealing with him. The beard definitely added some much-needed definition and character to his face, since it is fairly round. Thank you, though!

   Truth is, the game was rigged from the start.
   
   Okay, this set is epic! Excellent work on it!
   
   I've heard (and seen vids on YT) that a team is working on F4NV, but if and when it'll released, no one knows.

      Oooh, thanks! I'm personally looking forward to when Dragbody completes his npc/game overhauls. I feel like everything else in NV could be fixed with better textures or quality of life mods, so some improved NPCs and models are really all I'd want. The work the F4NV team is putting in is incredible though, hopefully, we'll get to see them bring their project to completion. It would be nice to play NV on a more modern game engine. We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed that nothing big crops up during its development since it will likely take a at least a year, if not longer.

      Aw, thanks! That's what so great about the Courier is that you have the freedom to do pretty much whatever you want with them. They're so much fun to develop as characters because of this.

   That's awesome, fantastic recreation! I really enjoy how you depicted the lead-up, this whole set has a ton of character. I agree with Antares, that shot with Victor is my favourite as well - though the shot of Benny leading her out into the desert could be a wallpaper or a poster, honestly.

      Thank you so much! This thing was originally planned to be eight images long, and at some point rapidly spiraled out of control. I knew I wanted to do a narrative set with how my courier meets Benny...but the final product ended up being an exercise in 'What Ifs.' Or maybe more akin to 'If you Give a Mouse a Cookie.' "If you build a Prospector Saloon set..." LOL It all worked out in the end, though, and was pretty fun to boot.

   At first I thought that Benny had some gall ordering a drink at the Prospector, after everything that happened, then I realized when this was. He would seduce his marks first, wouldn't he? From the clothing to the locations, this is a fantastic reimagining, I could hear their voices while scrolling through these. That shot with Victor is my favorite.

      You know, I think he'd do whatever it would take to separate the Courier from the greater Goodsprings area to wrap up any loose ends that would interfere with securing the chip. He doesn't have the highest charisma though, so I don't know how well his shtick would work outside Vegas proper. It worked on Jacklyn because she was deeply haunted by what had happened to Hopeville and the Divide and was just recklessly taking jobs and throwing herself into dangerous situations at that point. The resulting memory loss sort of benefited her in the long run, and was partially responsible for letting her turn over a new leaf in the Mojave. This was super fun to put together and it wouldn't have been possible without all of the incredible mod authors on the Nexus, though. Thank you for the kind words!

      Thank you! This set snowballed into something much bigger than I originally intended, but I think it was worth it.
