Jumping way ahead in the photo series, but... Everyone, in honor of Shippy Saturday, I present Grandpa V & Old Man River.
And let it be known that I have officially obtained Cheese Nirvana, because I took these on PS5 in vanilla photomode.
Yes, hijinks were involved. No, River was not under duress. Grandpa isn't handling a gun while they're making out, what are you talking about?
Also, I'd like to give a shout out to @quaddmgd for being a vanilla photomode fiend master and for being a trailblazer! Would not have gotten these if not for this post.
That last fight with Goro, the last moment spent together before the end... They'll always have a special place in my heart. The Devil ending is known for being cruel, and sad, but I'll always chose it, if it means staying by Goro's side, and helping him get a place back in the corporation he cares so much about. It's heart breaking, but I regret nothing. It's the closest thing we'll ever have to romancing him, in canon events : sacrificing everything, for him.
Okay, finally managed to snag footage of me actually doing the thing where you clip through NPCs. So for those of you who are wondering how I take all my kissy pics and weird group photos in vanilla photomode on ps5, this is it. And feel free to do this, it's why I'm sharing in the first place! Even if you don't have a full-rig gaming pc setup and aren't running mods, you can take cool pics too! It's possible!
The Corpo Plaza apartment has a pretty ideal setup. Only place this works is on the couch, but with the sitting area being depressed and there being a railing placed conveniently a little above head height, I couldn't have asked for more. It's a little tricky trying to get the full catalog of poses to populate since it's not a flat surface, so you'll have to mess around with the exact positioning and probably hop in and out of photomode a bunch, but if you haven't tried this before, much easier then the Glen apartment...
And in theory, this works in other locations and with other NPCs too! You just need to make sure there's 1) objects that are roughly head height in proximity to your NPC 2) you have enough ceiling clearance to adjust the up/down slider on poses and 3) you get all the action poses to populate in photomode.
Figure out what pose works best for the kind of shot you're trying to take, rotate the camera, exposure and contrast adjustments, frame the shot so you can't see the gun Grandpa is holding, or the weird thing she's doing with her other hand, and voila. Bob's your uncle.
