Fallout 3 - Howard on Tackling Fallout

GameSpot is reporting a Todd Howard segment from D.I.C.E. on the daunting task of tackling a Fallout game:

"Great ideas never, never die," Howard said. "We were in love with the first game and felt it needed to be done again."

That confidence in a game is essential, Howard said, adding, "You have to really have faith in your idea because there is no data that will prove it valid." Charts and graphs and details such as install base shouldn't play into the decision to make a game, he said. If install base mattered that much, he noted, then everyone would just keep making board games because there are a whole lot of tables out there.
