Will New Vegas run better on the PS3?

1. When is TESV coming? (Yes I know he said he wont asnwer, but I dont care I''m asking anyway!)

2. When you're in the process of game development do you take into account the classification limitations in Australia? Or is it more a process or making the game how you want it and dealing with any possible censorship later?

3. What is actually your opinion on the lack of an R18+ rating in Australia?

4. Do you believe that DLC is actually better for the gaming community or worse compared to releasing full-expansions?

5. I have this weird rash on my back that seems to be spreading and becoming sentient, can you guys recommend a cream or something?

With iD Software being acquired by your parent, Zenimax, and Obsidian Entertainment working on an expansion for your Fallout series, has there been any interaction between the studios? And in the industry in general, how often do you interact and share ideas with fellow developers?

With Fallout 3, you guys took some steps towards the first person shooter/action genre; is there any interest, amongst the developers or corporates, in making a game in a completely different genre, like an Elder Scrolls strategy game?

Given the choice to develop a game for any defunct game franchise - Duke Nukem, Homeworld, Age of Empires and Arcanum are a few that come to mind - which would you be interested in making a game for?

Have you ever considered giving your player characters a voice?

With the release of the Elder Scrolls novel "The Infernal City" (Plus the unnamed 2nd novel by Greg Keys), and sources showing that the post-apocolyptic book "The Road" was an inspiration for development of fallout 3, I take it you guys like books. What other books have you guys read that were particularly good/inspiring/epicially awesome? Do any authors stand out as being particulairly good?

Would gamesas ever consider buying out any series that become for sale in the future, such as the Fallout series.

Would you consider putting a team onto a new creation?

Would you ever consider creating an Elder Scrolls RTS game?

This isn't so much a question for the podcast but a question for whoever sets up the RSS Feed for the podcast. Is there any chance you guys could add Google Reader to the list of applications you can subscribe with? Currently I can only subscribe with Live Bookmarks, and as all my other RSS Feeds use Google Reader I find having a single Live Bookmark for the podcast to be a pain.

Also, I think it would be nice if you could tell us what the last post was that you took questions from until you ran out of time to dedicate to them, so people who simply posted too late wont be concerned their question was ignored. You said you would answer more questions in future podcasts so it would be cool if you could post and say "Any questions after post #49 will have to wait until the next one" or something like that.

Can you make it a bannable offense to start yet another 2012 thread?
Or better yet, make an ingame easter egg? Like a dead wanderer who died of the Kukulkan virus due to poor researching skills?

Does Bethesda plan on expaning into other areas that do not directly involve video game entertainment?

Do you even play games anymore? If so, which ones? If not, then why?

Have you considered re-creating (or asking to use) the wonderful innovations by the modding community? In other words, things like OBSE, OBGE, etc. that add awesome rendering effects/shaders/etc. at minimal fps cost. In other words, are there things the modding community has done that make you go "hey, that's really brilliant, we should use/make these features in the next game"?

What are your thoughts on a line of NECA Player Select action figures for prominent TES characters? I'm totally envisioning a Tribunal set. Just don't get the guys who designed the Kratos figures to design your figures... trust me... go for the dudes who did the Legacy of Kain figures, those are both awesome and structurally sound.

Why would you guys ever think of inventing something as foul as a cliff racer?

This was just a joke I posted before, but it might work to explain things. :

We can only imagine the wild parties that go on behind Bethesda's closed doors.

"Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug!"

Todd: You know, man -hic-, you know I've got a great idea of a, a -hic- province with this thing in it .

Pete: Wha, wha, what is it?

Todd: It's called a -hic- Adoring Fan. -hic-

Pete: That's a great idea, man. You know, you know that this is the best thing you've eve- eve- ever designed in the history of the company since those, uhh... climbers, no, uhhh... cliff draggers, no wait, uhhh, yeah, that's right, cliffracers.

Todd: I know, right?

------12 hours later------

Todd: What happened?

Pete: I think you designed a game.

Todd: That's weird. I don't remember designing a game. What's it called?

Pete: Yeah, you didn't remember Morrowind, either. This one is called Oblivion.

Todd: What day is it?

Pete: Crap, the game is due for release today!

Todd: Quick, make copies and sell it!

------a short while later------

Todd: best-selling WRPG of all time, eh?

Pete: Yup!

Todd: Let's get started on Fallout 3.

Pete: Where's Ken?

Todd: -hic- Who?

Todd said that Bethesda had a big party when Microsoft expanded the Xbox 360's memory from 256 megs of RAM to 512 megs while they were developing Oblivion. Now that's a reason for a party I can get behind!

Now this is a tough one.

Waffles or pancakes?

*snorts milk* Wait, the 360 has only 512MB?! Vivec on a popsicle stick, that's paltry!

512MB is more than it seems when you don't have to run a full-fledged operating system and other processes in the background. Still, it's always the memory that results in textures looking so muddy in multi-platform titles.

Being a creator of Machinima and the 'DC Chronicles', a series based in Fallout 3 and also the Oblivion series 'The Dive Rock Bandit', I am always curious if the guys at Bethesda take the time to watch what the fans are making? And if so, what are some of your favorites?

...hoping It's one of mine :ninja: :whistling: :hehe:

ooh ooh.. on that note, do you read any of the fanfics

:bolt:

I would hope its some of your stuff too,because what you make is damn good. :foodndrink:

:foodndrink:

PODCAST QUESTION:

Can you please give some info on whether or not the decision of when to release/announcement the suite of Zenimax titles is regulated by Bethesda Softworks and Pete Hines; and if so, is it either a matter of marketing strategy when the announcements are made or are the limits of available resources that are the largest driving factors, or some combination thereof?

Question:
What are your thoughts on other, recent open world sandbox games. Fable 2/3, Red Dead Redemption, Assassin's Creed 1/2? Is there anything they've done that you find particularly compelling?

What do you have to say to those who ask about TES 5?
