Fallout 3 E3 Interview

RPGamer is offering up a short interview they conducted with Fallout 3 lead designer Emil Pagliarulo at this year's E3 Media & Business Summit.
Making NPCs as rich as possible is one of the team's goals as well. Their desire is to make exploring the NPCs a very interesting and fun part of the game. Recruitment of NPCs came up, though at this point they can just confirm that it's there. They are still working on how many NPCs can be recruited. It was mentioned that the NPCs will interact with each other, with one aspect of the interaction being based on the NPCs morale alignment.

Unfortunately, Emil could not confirm the presence of a dog, stating only that it's still "possible."
