It feels awkward now to post some PhD student stuff on FB because one person from uni has added me there x'D So I'll post this here instead:
That feel when you've collected all these screenshots from a game to analyse it, it comes time to choose a few shots from the game to illustrate points in an article, and pretty much none of the screenshots can be used either qualitywise (too dark, poor framing) or subjectwise (nobody cares to see the CORPSES of monsters shirenu, they want to see them ALIVE and IN ACTION)...
So I spent two hilarious hours going back into Fallout 3 to collect screenshots from various locations. I got myself chased by a Deathclaw on purpose. Twice. I went into the Dunwich Building filled with Feral Ghouls. I needed some "war" imagery, but luckily I know this game inside out by now so I went to the Capitol Building where Super Mutants are scripted to fight Talon Mercs in a territorial battle. Getting shots of Vance and Roy Phillips was harder because all my old save files were from late in the game when I had already talked to them and helped them, so I had to use a brand new character to gain access to that dialogue again. So I turned on 'god mode' and fought my way through Mirelurks with nothing but a baseball bat (...) to get through the metro tunnels to Vance... Then to help Roy I just needed to cheat myself some caps (because I had none) to gain access to Tenpenny Tower... Well, I think I got all the pictures I needed and I will have fun explaining in the text why and how the photos aren't from the "original data"
