If you want to understand where Fallout 4 came from, and who Bethesda is - I can't think of a better presentation than what Peter Hines did at PAX Aus in 2014:

It takes an hour, but the whole thing is worth watching. It really will give you a better understanding of Bethesda.

Note: when Pete posted the Vault 77 strip, I tweeted him Thanks. He tweeted back... When is the last time a Vice President of a significant company replied to you in person?

Says quite a bit about him - and Bethesda.

You sound like you're Pete Hines trying to give yourself a more positive reputation among the fans by posing as one of them and giving yourself props online. You're not fooling me with that old trick Petey.

@ Brad18

Dude get with the times that is what Interns are for...Like ever since Interns and the internet were a thing..

Sounds like he's [censored] around on the internet instead of working. Get to work, Pete!

I knew this about them without tweeting or watching a video.

lol i huge fan of Fallout and i dont have any problem with Pete. =P

Yeah, and watching a ton of the keynotes and talks Todd Howard does, it's very obvious why Bethesda makes the decisions they do and the direction they go in. Not to say it's easy to predict their exact decisions, but it becomes very clear that there's a reason for everything they do or don't do.
