I'm not sure if he even does any creative work. He probably just counts the money

Looks like it will be pretty damn fun in terms of just mindlessly fucking around and finding all the possible ways you can break the game. Hell of a lot more appealing than Twitcher 3's boring ass approach to sandboxing.

I foresee a heap of new medals for the Glorious Arch-General of the People's Republic Zerotol and his assistant CyberP in the near future.

Pete Hines explains what is an RPG


"If you want to pick flowers and make potions all day, then that's what you're role-playing," he said. "If you want to go shoot everybody in the head with a laser-musket, then that's what you're role-playing."

Todd tells it all

Yeah, we're probably doing too much. [Laughs] If the game sucks, the answer may have been we tried to do too much.


because the baseline first-person shooting was...

It was mehh...

It was a little... I'm being diplomatic here.

It was a little... I think we're on the same page.

Have you made changes to it?

We started out with Fallout 4 knowing that, look, we can't apologise for being a role-playing game. We have to build a first-person shooter, and it needs to be a really, really good one. We spent a lot of time on that.

CyberP's medals will have to be granted posthumously. :cool:

Is that manchild then going to apologise that the RPG side of the game is utter rubbish because it's an FPS?

I doubt it, because they have a very different idea of what an RPG is compared to the naysayers and haters fine upstanding gentlemen here on the 'Dex. So in his mind he can call it an RPG, even if it barely scrapes by as a low fat, skim, soy decaf rpg....anyway I'm off to pick some flowers, cause that's what I need in my perfect RPG.+M

I have a character in skyrim that has never killed anything, and has done nothing but farm. Sometimes I walk him to town to sell some stuff. Roleplaying.

I'd buy the pip-boy edition if it wasn't sold out everywhere. It's the same amount of jewgold I spent on PoE, and I bet I'll have a lot more fucking fun with F4.

Embrace the new fun. Our Savior noble benefactor Todd Howard has given us all a gift. Enjoy you ingrates.
