Bethesda Softworks Q&A

Gamasutra has published a short Q&A with Bethesda's Pete Hines in article format, providing some general answers to the company's present and future plans for Oblivion and Fallout 3.
...when asked about Bethesda's highly anticipated resurrection of the classic Fallout post-apocalyptic role-playing franchise, Hines was obviously coy: (We are a fairly good ways into the process. The team has ramped up, and it will be a little while longer. As is the case with all of our games, especially those of this scope, we don't really want to talk about them until they are in a state where we can show you, rather than having you simply picturing it in your minds eye.)

He added, simply: (Fallout is not a quick two year process, and we are already several years into the project.)
