Alexander
Alexander, also known as 4l3x4nd3r is a developer who worked with the Old World Blues development team as one of the Senior and Junior Developers.
Background
Alexander originally applied for the Old World Blues team through the creation of their Covert Operations submod.[1] The main reasoning for the submod was due to a perceived void in what the mod wished to portray, with the lack of operations feeling to Alexander as if "I was playing a WW2 game with a Fallout skin instead of playing a Fallout map painter." After their recruitment, Alexander worked on an expanded form of Operations, designated as Operations 1.0, which currently provides unique mechanics and opportunities, as well as additional Fallout flavor.[2] As of November 2021, Alexander is working on the New Vegas rework for 4.0, having picked Vegas due to its robotic focus and Alexander's own robotics expertise,[3] and plans to work on an "Operations 2.0" afterwards, aiming to be more ambitious than the original 1.0.[4] In addition to being the main developer of Operations, Alexander wished to experiment with designing a focus tree, in order to better improve himself as a developer.[5]

I think that was the only part of the mod at the time I felt broke the illusion that I was playing a WW2 game with a Fallout skin instead of playing a Fallout map painter.
Currently I'd say we are on Operations 1.0 there is a bit of flavour Fallout wise, some unique stuff."

I'd like to think of Operations like quests one of your heroes can do. That's as much as I can say for now."

However, I always wanted to play with designing a tree, challenging myself to improve myself as a developer. I have helped out during the initial phases of 4.0 planning in the NCR, had a bit of feedback with the Legion tree in 3.0, small things."
