Fallout 3 - Interview @ MTV

News via the Bethblog of a new Fallout 3 interview - or mini-interview in with this little article from MTV, which complains about wanting to play generalist characters:

Multiplayer: I played the first “Fallout” but never finished it because I got stuck. The character I created wasn’t charming enough to talk myself past some guards. I wasn’t strong enough to beat them. This happens a lot with games that allow you choice. These games want you to be an extremist. They don’t want you to be a mix. But I always try to be a mix. I want to be interesting…

Todd Howard, executive producer, “Fallout 3″: We actually support you with [playable paths of] good, evil and even neutral — who are people who do good things and bad things.

In other Fallout 3 news, VideoGaming247 has a series of infobits - if you remember last time we linked them, they had broken their coverage down into a dozen different newsbits.  Since Briosafreak's blog has collected them all together, I'm going to link there.  Here's one post on the level of violence:

Speaking to VG247, Bethesda’s Peter Hines has said that people may have been surprised by the level of violence in the Fallout 3 E3 demo simply because little of the RPG has been shown so far.

“I would chalk up the ‘mismatch’ to the fact that we hadn’t shown a ton on the game to folks up to this point, and that was intentional,” he said.

“We prefer to hold cards close to the vest and continue to put out new info on the game right up until it’s out, rather than having tons of info out there 9 or 12 months before launch and not having anywhere else to go.

“Once you show folks gameplay, and let them play the game, there’s a very different dynamic from that point forward when it comes to the press and public, and what they expect and want, and we’re very aware of that.”
