Nathan Purkeypile

Nathan "Nate" Purkeypile is a developer who worked on Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 as a world artist and on Fallout 76 as a lead artist.

Work on the Fallout series
Purkeypile's responsibilities on Fallout 3 were major locations, lighting and creating kits for the level design department to construct areas with. His responsibilities would extend to two of its add-ons as the lead artist on The Pitt and Point Lookout. He worked on layout, lighting and cluttering for Little Lamplight in Fallout 3, Diamond City in Fallout 4 and the Crater in the Fallout 76 update Wastelanders.

In addition to serving as the lead artist of Fallout 76, Purkeypile was also the game's "location scout." He took a vacation to West Virginia and took a large amount of photographs that the team used for reference. Some of the stranger locations, such as the landlocked Landview Lighthouse, were added when Purkeypile proved to incredulous developers that such places really existed in West Virginia.
