New Pete Hines Interview (Gamescom) - GamesZone.de : V

» Sun Aug 21, 2011 2:52 am

It's not any new info as far as I can tell, but he elaborates on a few things. Plus it's over 10 minutes, so that's a bonus!

Sorry about the interviewer though. Aside from his accent, the constant urms and erms are quite annoying.

edit: Short summary thanks to http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1222768-new-pete-hines-interview-gamescom/page__view__findpost__p__18381297!

220 perks (hopefully mistake)
bigger draw distance for PC and graphical settings tailored for powerful PCs (not unexpected)
couple of different dogs who can follow you
one companion at a time
new interface for moving companions around the world
UI scales for PC resolution
you can tell companions to fight specific enemies or move to targets
intention to release uncut version in Germany
he seemed to contradict Todd's comment that they are planning to release DLC that is "bigger than FO3 DLC" and on the expensive side

"Once you get past level fifty, honestly, you're so powerful that it's kinda pointless." - Pete Hines

WTF?!

Where's the video?

By "pointless", they mean "easy". This is not surprising.

There's only screenshots under the first paragraph and a link to some project viewer program?

Do you have Adblock or something similar? Latest Flash player installed?

It's directly above the Guardian Stone screenshot.

"Much further draw distance" on the PC, according to Pete, woo!

Also, only one companion at a time.

I'm on mobile. Is there a YouTube link, or transcript? Work your magic tgl!

Very good interview! Thanks. The only thing I didn't understand was when Pete said for the hotkeys on the 360 and PS3 you will only have the left and right buttons on the d-pad for favorites. Am I misssing something? Because I know Todd plays it on the 360 and we've seen him bring a long list of favorites. I don't know, I'm confused.

Exactly, my thoughts! I hope it was a mistake.

Nope, no YouTube or transcript. Sorry :shrug:

Up on the dpad brings up the favorites menu and pauses the game. Left and right on the dpad are hotkeys for left hand and right hand. Those don't pause the game and are like the hotkeys in Oblivion.

Exactly, my thoughts! I hope it was a mistake.

Todd did say the game was too big, then we see dungeons go from 180 to 150, now we see perks go from 280 to 220

Dang I am in paranoid mode again! :sadvaultboy:

The interviewer brought up a good point. Radiant story might render "walkthroughs" for certain quests pretty useless.

220 perks? I thought there was 280

please dont say you're complaining... I mean come on... 220 is still a LOT of perks
