I played Fallout 3.

I thought that was a legendary game.

Can you make a case for Fallout 4?

Or should I just wait until Fallout 5?

Skyrim is too.

They are fundamentally different.

Oh, really?

Interesting.

So what's that world like?

What's the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout?

If you could just briefly take a stroll into that world, tone-wise.

So Elder Scrolls has, or at least Skyrim has some humor.

But Fallout leans into it a little more.

So the funny thing is, I do think Fallout 3 is one of the greatest games ever.

You've said that, quote, when we started Fallout 3 in 2004, we obviously had big ideas of what we could do with it, and I talked to a lot of people, from ex-developers to press folks to fans, what made it special?

What are the key things you'd want out in a new one?

The opinions, and I'll put this mildly, varied a lot.

But they would all end the same like a stern father pausing for effect, but do not screw it up.

How do you not screw up a game?

You have not screwed up many games yet.
