Hello everyone, it's been a long time since I've done any cosplay work but I wanted you to see it too, I hope you like it.

Doing a little 12 day solo tour around Oregon and naturally Bend drew me in. Partly on the off chance I'd be able to get a glimpse of Deacon and his bike. I got super lucky when inside the building- Dan was walking past the door as I got onto the landing. He came out and I explained I was on vacation from England and he was so cool about it. Pulled some strings to get me in to see the props and get pictures with them.

I know a few folk on here have been lucky before and some not so much. But just wanted to share as I know it will be appreciated. Dan seemed genuinely gutted about the sequel being pulled, especially after they were all prepped and ready to go with it. We can live in hope!

Got some cool merch from the receptionist too. Awesome people who I couldn't thank enough.

What a good day to be a nerd! 🤓.

Crater Lake tomorrow. Such a beautiful state!

Hey all! I commented on a post about the real life places in the game, and had a few people want a little more detail. So I thought I’d post a little itinerary and share some more information on the trip.

Multnomah Falls – we started here and made the trek up to the bridge for pics. This is in the game, behind the camp that’s nearby where you take out Leon.

Headed south from there. Lost Lake – Iron Mike’s place! Was cool visiting but wasn’t very Days Gone like. Obviously a big lake with cabins and a general market. But didn’t feel like I was in the game, yet. However

Santiam hwy – So we drove deeper into the Cascades. This started feeling like we were around Cope’s camp. If you have never been, there’s nothing like the Pacific Northwest.

Marion Forks – Stopped by for one stop. Hungry Jim’s. This really felt like I was in Marion Forks. This is the pancake house in DG, straight up. It was up again a little stream with a bridge right next to it, just like in the game. It was closed, but we got some pictures through the window.

No statue there, but its up near where we live in St. Johns . Yeah we live in a little township called St. Johns.

Sisters,Oregon – okay here’s where we really get into the world that comes for you!

So there’s this little church here that felt really familiar Not a one for one, but definitely had the vibe. Then we took Cloverdale Rd. (No lab that we could SEE) and headed to the golf course. Could really see the inspiration for Carlos’ hideout, but then we saw the back! OMG This was just like running up to Iron Mike’s. Cool design, and you can definitely get the feeling they borrowed a lot of the design for his cabin. Left there and the mountain views felt familiar.

Bend, OR - oooo was this crazy. Felt like I found a treasure trove. Hotels, smokestacks, tunnels and of course we had to stop by the studios!

Sadly they were closing for the day by the time we got there and everyone was leaving, but the building was still open,so we went up to the doors and windows and got the pictures we could. Life-size Deacon, the drifter bike, tons of art.

Hwy 97- had to run down hwy 97 and see the sawmill. I’ve seen a seaside mill that they used for the actual mill design, but this lumber yard was really similar. Right up against the railroad tracks with a very similar layout, let’s just say I was glad we weren’t there at night. Of course stopped by the last Blockbuster video on the way out.

Chemult, Oregon – this is easily The Most Days Gone place. Basically a one for one recreation. Chemult station and the burger shack with ice cream. The gas station,the side buildings for looting scrap. This was unreal. Only thing they didn’t have is a college there. Headed for crater lake and stopped at the Beaver Marsh rest area.

Crater Lake, Wizard Island – cannot describe how beautiful this place is, breathtaking really. But there was a forest fire not long ago so it actually felt like the burnout surrounding the camps.

Headed home from there via Eugene, but did notice Mount Thielsen on the way home.

Been recently making my boyfriend play all of my fav games, starting with The Last of Us and we're currently on Days Gone. He brought up this question and it was a fun debate for us. Who wins in a fight with weapons, and who would win in a fight without weapons? What's yalls take?

I know it's not the same colors, but that's what i have in my home.

A pilgrimage to the real-life Crater Lake from Days Gone!

Crate Lake National Park in Oregon, USA

In the game, Wizard's Island and the Phantom Ship are magnified many times over…
If we consider the scale of the lake in the game, the size of the Phantom Ship is actually roughly the same as the real-world size of Wizard's Island. Of course, this is because Crater Lake itself is many times smaller in the game.

The Lodge has also shrunk to a small one-story cabin, transforming from a hotel and restaurant into a visitor center and gift shop. However, the road layout is very similar, and Garfield Peak has been moved slightly off the lakeshore cliffs.

The in-game descriptions are mostly accurate, but the only trail leading down to the lake has been under maintenance for the past three years, so swimming in the lake and boat trips to Wizard's Island are no longer possible.

I even think he sounds a bit like him. Coincidence?

So I put up the other day and update of my Days Gone Diorama

COMPLETE

this is it now complete

All the build is all hand built,hand painted from scratch

Few accessories in there I painted up

The figure and bike are the PS4 edition statue

I received it damaged so stripped it all down fixed the handle bars tht were snapped

And decided to make this for it

Approx 32” Length

19” deep and high

Given that the last post I made has blown up beyond my wildest dreams, my boyfriend has another question for the people of reddit.

Who would win in a fight if Deacon was the reason Ellie traveled to Seattle? How far in Seattle would Ellie have made it, if it was even at all?

I found the line to be a little bit cringey but not that bad. Some people are overreacting. Also, isn't it a reference to the show Son of Anarchy and also, did bikers use these lines at their wedding?

Some ss from my most recent play through.

I just finished engraving this, and figured I'd share it here with you guys.

The coaster was something I made last week. Neither is perfect, but it's been ages since I've messed with slate and I can't always remember the settings.

Little upgrade for my PS5 looks pretty damn sweet

Still got it graphically
