"I’ve been pretty clear on the fact that I love Fallout in all its forms. From the classic turn-based RPG by Interplay to the first-person sequels by Bethesda. When I heard that there was a game called S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl that would let me wander around a radioactive wasteland using a mix of first person shooting, RPG and free roaming I was terribly excited because it sounded a lot like Fallout 3. I’m afraid that I wasn’t cool enough to have played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. when it came..."
"The details of the settlement have been made public and Bethesda now has full rights to the the Fallout Intellectual Property and to develop their own Fallout MMO. Interplay had allegedly begun development on the Fallout MMO with Masthead Studios but a second lawsuit by Bethesda resulted in Masthead no longer having any rights to the franchise either, leaving Bethesda in full control of all future Fallout games, and aborting any Fallout MMO that was in the works."
"There’s something about certain games that naturally draw me in. This is considerably easier with any sort of RPG that involves decisions and progression that allow you to influence not only your character, but the actual game itself. I’ve spent so much time with these games because I’m able to make the character my own, affect the environment, and play the game almost exactly how I want to play it."
"Bethesda and Rockstar are great examples of ways in which you can extend the lifespan of a game with compelling additional single-player content. It would’ve been one thing for Rockstar to maybe give us a few extra missions for GTAIV after we had finished with its main campaign but they went the extra mile with their Lost & The Damned and Ballad of Gay Tony DLC packs. They could’ve just released a few half-arsed pieces of content for their multiplayer modes but they went the whole hog."
"See? Video games can be educational, so the next time your mom accuses them of rotting your brain, tell her that at least you won’t be the one wallowing in a ditch as radiation slowly separates the blistered skin from her body. That’ll make her be quiet."
"These detail shots, while mind-meltingly bodacious, I’m sure do no justice to actually holding it in your hands, pretending as though you’re shooting a Raider in the face."
At Quakecon today Bethesda's Games Director, Todd Howard admitted why the games created by Bethesda never include ladders to climb without a loading screen.
The Director explained that the primary reason why there is no ladders to climb in the game environment is due to the fact that the their engine causes problems for the player character.
Is it me, or did that interviewer look like the Engineer from Team Fortress 2? 'Buildin' some credibility over 'ere'. Anyway, from the interview we learn that finally, you'll be given more than one safehouse. There are different ammo types and gun skills, and companions do have their own quest lines. Also, no DLC has been announced yet.

"We contacted the Fallout publisher to find out its reaction, and were told, "Well he is a big part of our Fallout brand and is copyrighted, so, yeah, deciding on your own to use him to promote your business or product, or to sell stuff, or whatever, without getting permission from us ... not a good idea." Ruh oh!"
""Pushing through lag, scraping all of the fun that can be gathered without losing patience, and being punted out of a game is painful and embarrassing, and shows that Bethesda doesn’t have as much commitment as Fallout 3 has promise.""
