They've been so hush-hush over at Bethesda about their newest project (I'm assuming its TESV) its probably got that new engine running like a charm for it, I bet thats why they don't want to show anything yet. :tops:

Just seeing Fallout New Vegas I can't wait to see what the Fallout series will do next.

The body parts of the high powered critters could be worth more, or traded for better ammo/weapons with a certain merchant or settlement. And, the experience you get should be more, but I would think you would have to have less of them to balance things.

However, other then maybe a random small item they may have scarfed up and not digested or passed yet, critters should not have loot.

Although, perhaps the currency never passes in the digestive track, so they collect all the coins of all the people they ate before you got there.....

They're working on two projects.

True, but only one of them is in full production.

Gatlings in energy?

The gatling laser yes. That's what they meant to say but messed up.

They probably meant Gatling Laser, which was formerly part of the "Big Guns" grouping in FO3. Although size wise it is indeed a "big gun", technically it shoots laser beams which falls under energy.

I enjoyed this interview alot, like most of the FNV interviews we have seen thus far. I couldn't help but to feel a little bad for Josh though, perhaps for all of em in the industry, in that there is so little "game security". I've worked on big 4-year projects at work that got cancelled and that svcked hard, I can only imagine the svckage involved with loosing a game you've poured your heart into. The way he describes his attachment to Fallout hints at 1000 scars..

The "sidecontent" stuff sounds swell. I do hope, though, that they didn't make the MQ a total cakewalk with the scaling. I mean, would it be so bad to require the player to play the game they are offered in order to complete it? Oh well, I guess I'm fine with it nonetheless.

Talking about what you can scavenge I hope you can take Radscorpion carapace and make armor out of it.

considering deathclaw toughness, its skin should fetch a good price as leather like for light armor component, shouldn it

Oh noes!

I looked like that he said that the dlcs will be released on the 360/PC first.
no no no no no NO!!! :cryvaultboy:

You'll be able to play enormous New Vegas until DLCs come out. Why worry?

Yeah it looks like we are getting shafted again, poor us, back on topic in the first 2 fallout's you had less powerful enemies in the north more powerful in the south, in fallout 3 you had less powerful in the south, more powerful in the north, JS said in one interview that now in NV you have more powerful in the north, which would have been F1 and F2's south, I like the little details they paid attention to.

Yaaay! [censored] LEVEL SCALING! I hate it, it kills the immersion and makes you feel as the centre of the world (Which you aren't, but I hope you already knew that)
Also, I love this part:
GU: What was behind the decision to use the same engine again, without trying to push the game further graphically?

JS: It was mostly time. Basically this is not a sequel, it's a standalone project. In many ways we've referred to it as the Vice City of the Fallout franchise. So it's really more focused on new content, new characters, and tweaks to gameplay, as opposed to completely reinventing what's already been done.

What did he say?

I want a Deathclaw companion! No seriously, Behemoths and deathclaws were not worth fighting difficulty over experience gained. You kill a behemoth, you get as much XP as killing 3 supermutant. It's just not right.

Quality interview.... Nice to see an interviewer that doesn't just spit out all the same garbled questions as everyone else.

I got really sad when it ended. Was a fantastic interview.

Sawyer, you are too modest. ^_^

He said that this was the case with F3, and that they'll handle it differently.
