A short note from Payton Quinn (DogtoothCG) on Art and Inspiration:

I don't expect you all to sit and read, but if I could have a minute of your time...

 I'm sure by now, you all have noticed, that the X-02 is not a direct copy of theMKII APA you were used to in Fallout:3. This is not an arbitrary design decision,nor was it necessary to make it fit into the Fallout:4 gameworld. The redesign of the X-02 is an homage, to the late, great, Adam Adamowicz.

 For those of you who don't know, Adam was the concept artist at Bethesda Game Studios, and for a while, the only one. Much of what you have seen from BGS over the last ten years,has been formed, in no small part by him. He was a man of massively prodigious talent,surrounding himself with a love of art, compassion for his coworkers, and (from what I've been told), an attitude that you just couldn't hate. The work of AdamAdamowicz has inspired my own over the last few years, serving as a launchpad to try newstyles, and never be afraid to fail; you never know what glorious design might crawl outof the ink smudge on the page.

Adam passed away in 2012, leaving behind an immense wealth of knowledge, and the giftsof his art. To me, these have since presented an endless source of inspiration for character, clothing, and creature designs. When we realised that the Mk II APA was notpresent in Fallout: 4, we thought it would be fitting to bring it back, doing our bestto merge Adamowicz's art, with the final design from Fallout:3. This isn't a redesignfor the sake of doing so, this is my homage to one of greatest inspirations.
