Fallout 3 Interview

The second installment of CVG's Fallout 3 interview with Bethesda Softwors' Pete Hines has been posted. Beyond the already-revealed mention of downloadable content, it contains little new material.
Finally, in what areas would you like to see the single-player RPG develop?

Hines:
Ultimately I think that folks are going to continue to focus on different areas and just expanding what's been possible. If you take a look at what we've done with the Elder Scrolls series, that's moved from being very generic to where we have these big worlds but all the characters were essentially the same, to Morrowind where they were all different but then nobody moved, to Oblivion where folks are now moving around in the world and they're interacting not only with you but with each other and trying to make the world more believable.

I think we're just going to continue to explore different directions in this sandbox thing that we can do, whether it be through AI, through dialogue, or just the things that we allow the player to do in this world.

I think there's lots of directions that the genre can go that is hasn't before, but I also think there's just lots of things we can get much better at - story telling and all that stuff. I think you'll see us get better at the things we're already doing and then maybe continue to branch out and try other stuff.
