    Well, I added some extra art, perk recommendations and I've started the write-up for the recommended quests.

    I don't know about this one though, the whole thing just feels off even if the character is great to play. Would love to get you guys' opinion on that problem.

    Can you be more specific about what you feel is off Tein?

    I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly Amor, I just don't feel like it works quite well. The character plays very nicely but something doesn't sit right with me regarding the concept. Maybe I just feel like it's a bit too contrived. I'm new to the whole crossword-like builds thing and it might be messing with my brain.

    What about making it less "cross-world" and more just inspired by real Captain Haddock? More Old Longfellow, salty harbormen, Mariner-esque and get that dark gritty fallout feel?

    Yeah, I'm considering that too. But at this point, I doubt I would get that out in time for the event. Besides the artwork I'll have to rethink what quests to do etc. But it's clearly doable; just not for the event. Fucking February and its weird 28/29 day thing.

    Well hmm, is there any reason why Captain Haddock can't be a comic in the Commonwealth?

    I don't think that works. "The Adventures of Tintin" is very much a European comic, it doesn't really work as a comic in the Fallout 4 timeline, at least not in the US. I could try that out but I think it would suffer from the same problem.

    I think I might actually go with what Amor suggested, it fits my style a bit better too.

    Thanks Valric, are you familiar with the comics?

    Unfortunately no. I might look them up now though.
