"Private" Interview with Todd

Big up to http://www.reddit.com/u/NotSalt for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqQqeEgWb7Q

Topics covered are:

• Q: How Does it feel to Bring Fallout Back?

• A: The team is exhausted, but thrilled to get the reception that they did. It's been a long few years.

• Q: What does the new trailer tell us about Fallout 4?

• A: It's meant to show the sheer enormity and diversity of the world. Every little detail was argued over and the end result is an incredibly jam-packed world that is tweaked to what they see as the perfect Fallout 4 experience. The intention was to reflect this in the trailers.

• Q: How will current gen. systems/PCs take advantage of graphics?

• A: Todd gives me us some pillow talk non committal answers to be honest. He says that graphics in Bethesda titles will always advance at a steady rate, but they also aim to use the extra power each new generation of machine or PC hardware possesses to optimise things like load times. This will help to suspend your disbelief when playing and get a better sense of immersion. A lasting "memory" of the game is important - with emphasis on experience and the richness of the world.

• Q: How does the new weather/water and lighting affects the look?

• A: "Prettier." Volumetric lighting wasn't well shown off in the trailer, but plays a significant role in how the weather effects look. He also gives an example of indoor lighting looking particularly nice in the context of player "memory and experience" (see above question). Went off on a bit of a tangent.

• Q: Fallout 4's new color theme

• A: Really vivid colours as a new aesthetic. Blue sky a stand out that helps diversify the feel of the environment, something Todd notes as lacking in Fallout 3. It also helps with characterising the weather patterns. Colour is more balanced as an intentional art choice, which also helps draw attention to particular features in the environment.

• Q: Where do the bombs fall in Boston?

• A: An undefined area known as "The Glowing Sea" will be where the (he uses singular language) bomb fell. It will be here where radiation is more intense, and will more closely resemble the wasteland see in Fallout 3. Storm systems will gather around this area and then move over land, causing heavy radioactive dosing (esp when lightning strikes) that makes weather a dangerous factor.

• Q: Todd discusses the main story of Fallout 4

• A: A lot of reflection on how players approach open-world games and how to accommodate a better story into it. He acknowledges Skyrim's lacklustre story was a sacrifice to deliver a more robust and unrestricted experience. He hopes Fallout 4 can deliver both this time.

• Q: Can Dogmeat Die?

• A: Not when he is a companion. Not much more said on the matter.

Nice. We need to compile these somewhere.

[ZANEY82]

I had the exact same thought. Well I'll try and update this posts with as many of the interviews as I can.

[Chloe Yarnall]

They do make one hell of a game world

[Bird]

I'll try and message a Moderator to change the title to something more appropriate. Something like Fallout 4 Interviews and Gameplay Demos.

[Mashystar]

Thanks for that, I've started to compile trailers, gameplay and interviews. I'll try and add text interviews at a later time.

[Multi Multi]

It's a nice place to visit.

[CHangohh BOyy]

Just messaged Summer to ask if she can change the topic name.

Vacation for the whole family Depending on if you still want a family post vacation...

[Rob Davidson]

I've changed the Topic title to reflect this thread being for Interviews as they are done or new ones become available. We expect that members will keep up with adding to the OP and restarting the thread. All interviews can then be discussed in one place.

Will that work?

[Marine Arrègle]

Thanks Summer

I'll make sure to constantly update guys just message me or post here if I've missed anything.

[Abi Emily]

[Siobhan Wallis-McRobert]

Roller coasters are fun but not an nice place to sleep.

[helliehexx]

I'm only working part time (2 days a week, 10 hours (sometimes more)) and volunteer firefighting one night a week plus my sleeping cycles are well off so expect very very very regular updates

[CHARLODDE]

I'd name my character Pip.

[sophie]

Great work man, I haven't seen two of these videos so far.

[Brentleah Jeffs]

Not a problem mate I get daily updates on a lot of keywords including non english articles so you can expect frequent updates

Also anyone who finds information, links, videos, etc that have not already been covered please post in the topic so we can keep this thread active (since for obvious reasons it can't be stickied) and information relevant.

Interesting new article by gamespot

Why Fallout 4 Is Set in Boston

www.gamespot.com/articles/why-fallout-4-is-set-in-boston/1100-6428296/

(Added to main list)

Update: Fixing the hyperlinks up.

[Jeffrey Lawson]

I like the [censored] Todd presented as if it was ever going to be anything else but Boston.

Especially when he and Kirkbride have said they(Bethesda) always have the general plots/locations for the next two games planned out, which is why they can put those seeds in the game in the first place.

[Natalie Taylor]

I'm not how much can be deduced from this, but the retailer GAME (UK) says the following as one of the product descriptions:

"Be whoever you want with the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. character system. From a Power Armored soldier to the charismatic smooth talker, you can choose from hundreds of Perks and develop your own playstyle."

There's a clear omission of skills and an evident focus on perks.

[Ysabelle]

Bootysweat did something similar for Skyrim before it came out, I like this topic.

[Noely Ulloa]

My thoughts exactly especially if you look at the reddit link I posted showing a screenshot with a bobblehead that increases barter.

http://www.reddit.com/tb/3a6e1s

Glad you like it mate should be a lot more articles by tonight and tomorrow, also expect a massive surge in my collection of foreign articles

Speaking of here's an article form The Daily Express criticizing Fallout 4 graphics. http://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/gaming/585206/Fallout-4-graphics-PS4-Bethesda-Xbox-One. I don't agree with the article but nevertheless adding it to my expanding database of articles.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRFzF-TN7oc# Emil Pagliarulo (lead writer) talks about Dialog options for Fallout 4

My phone ran out of battery but heres a bit more on what they talked about that I wrote down.

- Todd confirmed that when you are building a base, you can program a radio or music player to play certain tracks

- The voice actors briefly mentioned that there will be about 8 different types of character personalities based on dialog (good guy, cocky, evil, selfish, etc)

- Emil talked about how the voice dialog replaces the 'list of word choices' from Fallout 3 and how he initially was unsure of how it would fit in a Fallout game but now he loves it even more.

- Todd said that they teased Fallout Shelter way back when Fallout 3 had its original vault boy trailer. He said if you pay attention hard enough you will see it. I'm not quite sure what he meant by this.

Remember keep posting and discussing in this thread so we can keep it alive.

New article regarding the Pipboy (Collectors edition not ingame) E3 2015: New Images of Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Replica - au.ign.com/articles/2015/06/18/e3-2015-new-images-of-fallout-4-pip-boy-replica

Game Informer (in the latest article I've listed) has released a nice amount of information!!!

• Fallout 4 is the most detailed, dense environment Bethesda has made to date. The world has so much content even game director Todd Howard hasn't seen everything in the game.
• The extra graphical horsepower provided by the new console gave the team a tech backbone to iterate on its Creation engine and add more dynamic details. Physics-based rendering and volumetric lighting help create more atmosphere in the world, opening the game up to more environmental storytelling.
• Fallout 4's narrative has a lot more branching paths and overlapping of "if that than this" than Fallout 3. They want the game to handle all the fail states of missions instead of forcing players to reload saves.
• Boston and its surrounding regions offer more varied, vivid colors than Fallout 3, though the color palate still relies heavily on grays and browns in the blast zone where the nuke was detonated.
• Fallout 4 has a full weather system that sends radiation storms across the world.
• Bethesda has always valued player freedom above storytelling, but with Fallout 4 the team wants to bring more emotional resonance to the plot thread running through the game. This is why they chose to recruit voice actors for both the female and male protagonists the player can make their own.
• Combat is receiving a major stimpak thanks to some consulting with id Software to improve the second-to-second shooting. Bethesda's goal? To have the shooting stand shoulder to shoulder with the other great options on the market. The studio even hired away some Bungie talent to help with this remodel. With the new, built-from-scratch shooting system, Howard says Fallout 4 plays much more like a modern shooter. You can aim down the sights, use V.A.T.S., and play in first or third person.
• V.A.T.S. has received some slight overhauls. It no longer completely pauses the action, and critical shots are no longer random. If you look at the videos, you'll notice a "critical" bar on the bottom of the screen that the player fills. Once it is fully filled you can decide when to use it. Your luck skill determines how fast the bar increases, and there are perks that dig into how criticals work and how you use them.
• Bethesda is tweaking the way auto-scaling works for Fallout 4 to create more challenge. "We call it rubberbanding; we'll have an area [where enemies scale from] level 5 to 10, and then this area will be level 30 and above," Howard says. "You'll run into stuff that will crush you, and you will have to run away."
• Bethesda's proprietary Radient A.I. and story system are also being used for your settlements to drive random encounters. It will determine if someone should be sent to your town, if raiders should attack the settlement or abduct your caravan, etc.
• People will come to your settlement on their own but there are also others you can recruit.
• A list of your settlements will appear in your PipBoy. You can send caravans between the various bases to get your supplies where you want them to be.
• As you could see in the trailer, Fallout 4 introduces new modes of transportation in the form of the gunship, but Howard says they aren't doing cars or anything as well.
• The workshop system is quite deep for weapons crafting.You can mix and match everything from scopes, muzzles, barrels, stocks, grips, and more. You can also scrap old weapons and use their parts for furthering the creation of your master weapon.
• All the junk in the world you collect can now be used to build up your settlement and customize your weapons rather than be sold off. Because of these additional uses, Howard says he's noticed more playtesters hoarding items for customization rather than selling it off to merchants.
• Companions have always played a role in Fallout games, and that exends into the new game as well. So far Bethesda has only shown off your trusty canine Dogmeat (who Howard confirmed will not be killed off in a cruel fashion) but expect to see several others as well.
• The mod community has always been strong with Bethesda games. With Fallout 4 their creative ideas will reach beyond PC and into consoles. Modding tools are expected to become available on PC in early 2016, with Xbox One owners getting access to their creations shortly thereafter. Once the modding is thriving on these two platforms, Bethesda hopes to work on extending this content to PlayStation 4 as well, but Howard wasn't comfortable putting a timetable on that.
• Howard says Bethesda has been advocating to get mods on Microsoft consoles since 2001. Its hope is to not curate the content much at all but have its ecosystem stay as close to the PC experience as possible.
• When you play a modded version, the game will make a copy of your save file so your pure state game will be preserved.

Hey Charles, thanks for linking this all together. Best discovery for me today was that Inon Zur has returned to create the main theme and ambient soundtracks. Although we've pretty much only heard variants of the main theme thus far, the Pete Hines video offers us a new ambient piece. Great stuff!
