The Bethesda Podcast: Now Seeking Your Questions

Post » Tue Sep 21, 2010 8:20 pm

Two questions.

Will mods from Fallout 3 be transferrable into Fallout New Vegas, since they both run on the same engine?

And...

Have you seen my cat? Has some rotting skin, infected with Zombie-Rabies.

Would it be feasible to include some sort of conditional "environmental" dialogue options for NPCs? For example, when an Oblivion Gate opens outside of Bravil, it would seem reasonable that NPCs might find it worth mentioning- as opposed to saying- "I saw a mudcrab the other day."

with Oblivion you had a great AI designed for the game (Radiant AI) that you had to scale back because you couldn't fix some of the bugs created from how sophisticated it was, have you fixed all the bugs with it, or did you decide to work on a different AI system?

What was the deal with Nerasteral's House in Oblivion? You know, the house in Skingrad with all the zombies and wraiths.

It's Spring 2011, and it's been 2011 for a while.

We had a building-wide power outage yesterday, so it was delayed to today. Up now, though!

Dunno if this has been asked, but will Wes Johnson be doing any of the VA roles?
Edit: 'nother question: Should we be expecting gameplay videos shortly before release, similar to what was done with FO3?

Given that it's going to be my birthday pretty soon, I have to make a wishlist for my family

That being said, everyone has a birthday so what are the items most commonly on birthday lists for our community managers? Video games, checkered ties, golf clubs? Or how about those at Bethesda?

Also,

*cough*F:NV*cough**cough*Xbox 360**cough*October 11th*cough**hint*cough*

Hey worth a try right? :D

Re-posting this question because I really want this answered:

(For Brink)

Is there a potential Brink Collector's Edition (or something of the sort) in the making?

I would love to purchase it, but if the final answer is no, I'll go ahead and purchase the regular pre-order.

I got a question that I can imagine being asked by people who haven't played fallout before:

Why will I buy Fallout: New Vegas when I haven't played any games in the post apocalyptic genre of games before?

will you be putting more effort into the animations? specifically asking because each game bethesda has developed seems to have something lacking in the animations, you can tell after you've jumped a few times :poke:

I heard somewhere that there was a special perk in Fallout New Vegas, that increased random encounters, and certain odd things... Can you specify what types of random encounters there will be? More realistic encounters like fallout 3, or the crazy, baffling encounters from Fallout 1 and 2?

Thanks

I asked Matt a while back if he could confirm to me exactly where a few locations mentioned in Falllout 3 were, specifically Ronto, but unfortunately he wasn't able to tell me anything. I kind of assumed that, barring the real possibility of Bethesda not wanting to reveal that information, you guys just didn't remember where you originally intended them to be. If that's the case, and imagine me falling to my knees and begging you guys while saying this if it helps, could you guys arrange a meeting with the people responsible for determining this sort of thing and come together and give actual locations to these places? http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/East_Coast lists all the places you've mentioned in Fallout 3, and the following are all the places that have no confirmed location:

Broken Banks
Crater Banks
Great Lanta
Erie Stretch
The Abbey of the Road
Ronto

Well since the last episode was mainly Fallout stuff, I'll just ask again: What was up with Nerastarel's house in Oblivion?

In the event that it is more Fallout stuff, is New Vegas Van Buren? Storyline and setting wise. I noticed it takes place somewhat in the same area and since it's being developed by Obsidian, I just made a connection.
