7:11 "I hope that eventually, someday, maybe many years from now, that we are just as well known for Fallout as the Elder Scrolls, because, right now, they are both our children." Oh Pete, you had no idea.
Yeah, you don't always get to watch a bunch of greasy, talentless hacks take a shit on somebody else's work and then pat themselves on the back for 40 fucking minutes.
Thank you for posting that! Adam A. was truly an artistic genius, who's work can be seen and influence felt in far more than just Bethesda made games. Rest in peace Adam, I won't forget all the creative energy you helped pour into the games that I will certainly play for the rest of my life!
10 years later and I'm still playing FO3, currently in tranquillity lane. I think that says pretty much everything that needs to be said. This game is a masterpiece.
"Oh, what do you do?" "I make videogames." "What kind? The kind where you shoot people" "Yeah, kind of..." "Are they really violent? Where is it set?" "In DC" "Oh, that's cute!" "Yeah it's all blown up." Fuckin GOLD!
IMO this was the greatest game ever made. Been playing games from the early 80s and nothing brought me into a world so much. I remember walking out of that vault for the first time saying " OMG I can explore all of that?" I had no idea what was about to unfold....Thanks for the memories guys!
I agree 100% man. Sometimes you will see criticism of a game because it's empty. Bethesda made Fallout 3 feel empty but even making a game feel empty has an art to it, and Bethesda done that so well. Even after playing Fallout 3 for the first time in 2009, I still play it regularly today. I can't seem to grasp that we may need to wait until 2029/2030 for Fallout 5 to be released. Bethesda likes to put hints in there games that point to a possible location for the next game. The Commonwealth was mentioned numerous times in Fallout 3. In Fallout 4 a background of the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco is seen in one of the quests, possibly hinting that San Francisco could be the next location for the next Fallout.
@G.T.E403 San Francisco is in Fallout 2 so it's probably a callback rather than foreshadowing. Doubt Bethesda will go back to the West. They've set all their fallouts on the east coast to separate them from Interplay/Obsidians' fallouts. I think they'll go to another country before they go back west. Although I wouldn't mind a 3D reboot of the first two games. Edit: It's most likely gonna be New York according to insiders. Wouldn't rule out Chicago or New Orleans
@@toastedt140 New York was actually going to be the first intended location for Fallout 4 before the setting was changed to Boston. Whatever the case may be, we're going to be waiting a long time for the next Fallout. Even if you go by Fallout's past development cycle, we wouldn't see a release until late 2030. It's a long shot but Bethesda needs to licence the dev kit to another developer (Like they did with NV) so another game can be made before 2030. Story wise it doesn't need to have anything to do with the main Fallout games, just another Fallout.
Idk, FNV has a lot better role playing aspect with a lot more freedom, and in Bethesda games you usually can't just kill the quest characters or important characters, but FNV allows to do it and game recognizes it.
Fallout 3 is just absolutely PERFECT in terms of exploration, atmosphere, and quests (the actual quests themselves). I mean with New Vegas, it's pretty much agreed that there are a ton of options and different ways to complete the quests. The option to tackle quests in various ways is definitely appealing...it's just that I found New Vegas' quests to be...boring. Defending town after town, running to deliver messages, etc. I don't know, I didn't really enjoy the quests that much in NV. And the fact that it's mostly barren desert doesn't help either. Fallout 3....my god the quests are just absolutely intriguing, bizarre, hilarious, interesting...The Replicated Man is just a master piece, Tranquility Lane, the Antagonizer quests (forget the name, but the superhero one), the one where you have to invade a fucking underground ANT colony to find the queen ant, the wasteland survival guide, the vampire quests, the chick that's obsessed with nuka cola and has a museum and gives you those quests. Oh shit and the one with the Soviet spy in Point lookout! I honestly can't recall a single quest in Fallout 3 that left me disappointed...were there many ways to complete the quests like in NV? Probably not, but still to this day I remember nearly every single of one FO3's quests and only a few of NV's quests (which I played more recently and have more hours on). Which game stuck to its roots? New Vegas without a doubt.... Which game did I enjoy more and still play to this day? Fallout 3 by far.
I'm getting the fallout 3 game of the year version for the Xbox 360. I know that there are five dlc and I'm not sure what level to start them at or even what order to play them 😕. can someone give me some advice on that please ?
Dunoid Same. I absolutely loved New Vegas' main story line, and the DLC. but the side quests in New Vegas were horrible imo. So many of them just have you running back and forth. FO3 I disliked the main story, but had such great side quests (which most people spend the majority of the time on anyways)
Edward Kenway yeah I think that's my one critique of this game. The ending was generally the same, with just a few tweaks depending on gameplay decisions
4:33 Bethesda games are the only ones that makes "Ok, gonna play 1 or 2 hours of Fallout now" and finally turn off my pc to realize that it's been 6 hours. Pete Hines and Todd Howard...you genious devils.
Askmeaboutit you know how Todd says it wasn't his fault if people would think the game was different from what it is. If you watch Todd's 4 E3 events / interviews for 76, and the NoClip documentary, it's pretty clear (a) it's a text and audio based story, (b) Jason Gardiner is fairly clear about the problems with the launch edition but is excited for where the game goes with the DLC, and (c) if you you listen to Chris Mayer in the doc, and Todd at the announcement, it was going to be buggy for a good while.
Adam Adamowicz, the concept artist for Fallout 3, passed away from Cancer. As hopeful as I am to see an extension of the Fallout series, I worry that the success Fallout 3 has for being unique cannot be duplicated without the ingeniously gifted Adam Adamowicz. His artwork is magnificent to say the least, and to me contributes by in large to the enduring allure of Fallout.
"Fallout 3 started half the size" and I hope that's the reason why F4 is still not announced because they're putting in so much they're not sure which to cut and deliver to the audience.
If it's not Fallout 4 they'll be announcing at E3, I'm going to be really disappointed. I mean I love Elder Scrolls, but I'd rather have it age a bit more before making another game.
Too bad Bethesda doesn't like to acknowledge its existence. It's clear they learned nothing from it, but judging from your comment, you don't like either of em.
***** The reason I don't hate Fallout 3 is because I have it to thank for the existence of New Vegas, but otherwise, it has absolutely nothing on its predecessors aside from graphics and presentation. This video is quite telling, since 90% of what the developers discuss is how cool it is to kill things in this game. They got the atmosphere and aesthetic of Fallout right, but they failed to understand that Fallout 1 and 2 were actually about something. FO3 just doesn't have the same novelistic density of character, incident, and theme. Nor does it have the wonderful versatility of role-playing options as the previous titles. The jury is still out for Fallout 4, as I haven't yet completed it, but I'll keep an open mind. So far, it seems like FO3 to me with some interesting added gameplay mechanics and mini-games that feel out of place.
They said the same thing about Fallout 4 before it was made. They were talking about the improvements in the shooting.They said "people have to understand we make rpg's". It doesn't feel like a rpg to me.
Adam, as I hyped as I am for fallout 4, I will never forget the paths you carved for the elder scrolls and fallout series. I hope you are still in a better place
WAIT! WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE!... At 15:31 he says people want to know why i'm taking pictures near the Whitehouse..... then he says "my answer would be" "well i'm just imagining what this would all look like if it was blown up" You do not want to say that kind off stuff to people near the Whitehouse XD aha how AWKWARD would that be?!
Anibal Morales I don't see what's wrong with it it's linked with a fallout 3 side quest.....I think the only reason people hated it was because the character had a voice, the graphics got better, some dialogue wasn't there because they had a voice, and it didn't feel like an RPG
I didnt mind the characters having a voice, I just think it sucked overall , the npcs looked and acted ported from last gen, the setting was pretty boring, the settlement building was tacked on, and for me the cities were only mildly entertaining at best. not to mention every weapon looked the same even the uniques, the factions were balls idk how people like it like at all
Fallout 4 doesn't feel like a rpg game. It feels so watered down compared to the other Fallout games. I love Fallout 1,2,3& NV. I could play anyone of them despite already playing them for hundreds of hours each.Fallout 4 is the only one I cant.
holy shit that guy Emil from bethesda lost a ton of weight since this video!!!!!!! i saw him in some interview for fallout 4 last week and now hes like the same size as todd
yeah everything great they mentioned here for this game, they removed and/or dumbed down completely in the newer games. In fallout 4 they butchered VATS, In fallout 76, they completely removed it. And this goes for a lot of things that were fun.
@@KneppaH VATS in 76 would be a little weird considering the PVP aspect, but still it would be welcomed when doing PVE. I didn’t like it too much in 4, it it’s “okay”.
@@KneppaHI notice they do that as well instead of improving upon their systems they completely remove them and replace them with watered down uninteresting ones which is why fallout 4 is so much worse than 3. But unfortunately that's what sales so we'll never get a good fallout or elder scrolls ever again
The sound effects part at the end was actually brilliant. Makes me think of game sound in a whole new way. I'm gonna listen in the future and try and figure out what random objects they might have used!
"Why are you taking pictures of manhole covers around the White House?" and my answer would be very simple "I'm just imagining what this would all look like if it was blown up" haha >:) :P
I actually really enjoyed Fallout 3. It's very different from the other games, but it's a fun game in it's own right. It has some truly memorable moments, and the story is very well written.
god i loved this game. I was so impressed when i first turned it on not having any idea what was to come. especially with Liam Neeson being my dad i knew if i got into trouble with anyone he'd look for them, find them and kill them.
I wish they would remake this game in 1080p. They definitely accomplished there goal in creating a game that makes you lose yourself. Luckily I was on vacation when I played it in 17 hour increments.
lol, funny thing is I was a sr in high school when Fo3 came out, I did stay up til 5-6 AM playing it. On my old 20gb Xbox 360 it had a memory cache problem. I remember getting it one night and calling Xbox-Microsoft and getting the secret button combination you had to press to prompt the 360 to clear the memory cache! Now I think it’s built into the Xbox every time you restart it. Crazy
"Cool is cool forever, man" - confirming it in 2020. And God, I have put 40+ hours in the game jus tto realize that Liam Neeson was my dad?! Incredible!
@@Da60FOVDemon i'm pretty sure both of those games are good in their own rights, not everything has to be new vegas and for all we know new vegas could've fail in modern times. (also fallout 3 but that game has been hated to hell and back, and i love that game)
@@Da60FOVDemon Fallout 4 kicks ass: people only retroactively started hating it after 76, and it became cool to hate on BGS. Same with Skyrim. All the "Fallout 4 wasn't as good as we thought" "Bethesda was never that great" videos are ALL within the last 5 years since 76 came out
I wonder that because, I played all 300 hours of the game, and I thought there could have been more. Like, why couldn't I have made a robot to help me? Or, there should have been a mission to help the Megaton waterworks get better water. Or perhaps another mission to make larger stronger walls for Megaton. I felt that I should have been able to customize my hunting rifle, one of the most versatile weapons in the game, so that it had a scope, or shot a heavier load, or something. I thought there were things missing in the game.
WarBerJr02 Those are extremely specific things and asking for them is kind of ridiculous. You shouldn't look back on 300 hours of gameplay and go "Oh they forgot this." They didn't forget anything, they can't include absolutely everything, but they did a damn good job of having thousands, millions of things to do.
I know what you mean. I use the Creation Kit to create mods with Fallout3 and you can see all the areas where spawns occur. They could have made a lot more random encounters than what they left it with. Overall though they had to accommodate the console limitations however, so its understandable.
Great video all around. One thing that stuck out for me among other things - Man, Malcolm McDowell is a damn good VA. He did a fantastic job with President Eden. I'd love to see him VA a role in FO4. Don't get me wrong, Liam was great but you can really see and get a feel McDowell got into the role.
Holy Hand Grenades Batman! 7:09 is Emil, who is sitting next to Todd in this video. He lost tons of weight and is ripped as! czcams.com/video/RGjn4D0cztI/video.html
+Camelworks I just came to the comments to post the same thing! If it wasn't for that tattoo on his arm, I would never have noticed! I was like ''Hold on....that's that fucking buff dude I saw in the Fallout 4 interview!''
+Camelworks At first I didn't know it was him, then I saw the tattoo on on his arm and was like holly shit. And then came done to read comments about it.
bojassem12 Takes more than just being near the equipment. I got all the shit I need to get in shape (weights, skipping rope, running machine) and I'm still out of shape lol. A quick google search led me to his twitter and he said he had weight loss surgery, presumably a gastric band was fitted and that, combined with a lot of exercise sorted him out.
I really really hope they have a documentary type thing for Starfield. I like to follow passionate game developers and I’ve always felt that this team was extra passionate with their projects and I would like to highlight this team specifically because 74 was a turd in almost every aspect.
Xiu Greyson Lol true man, if my dad was Liam Nesson and he looked at me and said "Im disappointed in you." I would be like, "No daddy it was a mistake! *Wails and cries* Forgive me daddy!" Lol that if he was, sadly he isnt
Person: What kind of video games, the kind with shooting? Todd: Yeah kinda. Person: So is it violent, where's it set? Todd: DC. Person: Oh that's cute! Todd: Yeah It's all... blown up.
I could ignore the dated (even for the time) music choice but those Dutch angles were driving me nuts. Just one after the other, over and over and over lmao.
Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas perfectly-compliment one another: One is green/blue, and the other orange/red. One is North the other West. One is metro, the other the opposite. Fallout 3 and New Vegas have in-effect, more or less the same parts only their own emphasis (one is technologically a mod of the other game's engine code). Why're people unable to simply like Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 when they sort of do already...is strange tbh.
I first played this game when it came out at 9 years old. It’s cliche to say but it did define my childhood. I’m now 24 and very few games have come close to the all around quality this game has. 15 years later and it still has an insane amount of depth, replay ability, fun gunplay, stellar writing. New Vegas is still my favorite because if it’s much needed levity but I will never forget exploring the capital wasteland as a 9 year old. Also my music taste was shaped by this game.
I think if Bethesda adds a composite bow to Fallout 4 that it could add a nice variation to the types of weapons you can use in the wasteland.. Just imagine a Mutant trying to pull the arrow out of his head... It's be kinda funny :D
***** well i wrote my opinion on the bethesda channel, on one of their videos, seems lots of people like the comment so far, so maybe it's getting noticed :P
Fallout 3 is amazing but the story was pretty much Fallout 1 and they still managed to mess it up. New Vegas has a much stronger story but Fallout 3 definitely felt more fun to explore.
I agree that Fallout 3 has a pretty average story, but it was my first ever Fallout game (I was 1 year old when the Fallout 1 came out, but have since played that as well), and it will always be close to my heart. Not to sound cheesy here, but you'll always remember your first one.
Jack Borden Actually NewVegas world is a lot more functional and believable, It's been 200 years and people in DC are still eating the damn prewar food and still didn't bother to clean all those debris, New Vegas has farms, ranches, Casinos.. An economy basically. I feel like DC looks like 50 years after fallout, not 200 years. For the compelling reason to progress, I actually enjoyed the more care free (but with more choices and consequences) take of the MQ with Newvegas, with Bethesda you are always "saving" the world.
7:11 "I hope that eventually, someday, maybe many years from now, that we are just as well known for Fallout as the Elder Scrolls, because, right now, they are both our children."
Oh Pete, you had no idea.
damnit right
yeah, they're famous for killing Fallouts lore.
Sir Edel Kantholz here we go
+Sir Edel Kantholz You mean making it much much much better?
+PurpleDerpy What's "Elder Scrolls"? :)))))))))
I love how Bethesda makes these videos for the games they make... It's always great to see the process behind the game.
agreed
My favorite is Oblivion's
I’m surprised this video didn’t need a 90GB patch to play right.
Yeah, you don't always get to watch a bunch of greasy, talentless hacks take a shit on somebody else's work and then pat themselves on the back for 40 fucking minutes.

10 years later and I'm still playing FO3, currently in tranquillity lane. I think that says pretty much everything that needs to be said. This game is a masterpiece.
are we just not going to talk about an old scientist chose to be placed in the body of a small girl....😂
Same. I literally just beat the Broken Steel DLC today after playing again for the first time in many months over the past week.
All that says is that you have very low standards and horrible taste.

I can see the making of Fallout 4 sum up in 3 words: It just works.

Witzelsucht Haha yes,in video games (but not the good guys)
@@SaucyDarkness same 😂😂😂
they definitely nailed the part about playing it so much you forget the time
Nothing like 8 voice actors.
My childhood right there
Liam Neeson did an absolute amazing job voicing the Dad/james in fallout 3
maybe fallout is NOT skyrim with guns maybe SKYRIM is fallout with swords
Skyrim, is a streamlined fallout 3 skin.
Elder Scrolls came out first.
So it is Elder Scrolls with guns.
UmbreonTheNerevarine But Fallout is really a spiritual successor to Wasteland which came out before Elder Scrolls, so Fallout wins. xD
gluup305 Spiritual doesn't count.
Also Elder Scrolls is like a spiritual successor to Lord of the rings.
Therefore TES Wins.
UmbreonTheNerevarine But Lord of the Rings wasn't a game, so Fallout still wins. xD
Emil Pagliarulo sure did shape up since these days. Good for him! ✌
'Cool is cool man. They're gonna talk about karma lost 50 years from now' yet they stopped using karma

The jury is still out for Fallout 4, as I haven't yet completed it, but I'll keep an open mind. So far, it seems like FO3 to me with some interesting added gameplay mechanics and mini-games that feel out of place.
They said the same thing about Fallout 4 before it was made. They were talking about the improvements in the shooting.They said "people have to understand we make rpg's". It doesn't feel like a rpg to me.
Adam, as I hyped as I am for fallout 4, I will never forget the paths you carved for the elder scrolls and fallout series. I hope you are still in a better place
WAIT! WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE!... At 15:31 he says people want to know why i'm taking pictures near the Whitehouse..... then he says "my answer would be" "well i'm just imagining what this would all look like if it was blown up" You do not want to say that kind off stuff to people near the Whitehouse XD aha how AWKWARD would that be?!
ESO - Fallout & Elder Scrolls Guides I was thinking the same thing
ESO - Fallout & Elder Scrolls Guides That was the joke
that's the joke
It wouldn't be awkward. I'm pretty sure it would be some type of federal offense.
Yeah that's the joke.
I wanna see a 'making of' for Fallout 4. They were probably high as kites while making it.
Anibal Morales I don't see what's wrong with it it's linked with a fallout 3 side quest.....I think the only reason people hated it was because the character had a voice, the graphics got better, some dialogue wasn't there because they had a voice, and it didn't feel like an RPG
I didnt mind the characters having a voice, I just think it sucked overall , the npcs looked and acted ported from last gen, the setting was pretty boring, the settlement building was tacked on, and for me the cities were only mildly entertaining at best. not to mention every weapon looked the same even the uniques, the factions were balls idk how people like it like at all
Fallout 4 doesn't feel like a rpg game. It feels so watered down compared to the other Fallout games. I love Fallout 1,2,3& NV. I could play anyone of them despite already playing them for hundreds of hours each.Fallout 4 is the only one I cant.
This is so mid-2000's it hurts lol
good times.
holy shit that guy Emil from bethesda lost a ton of weight since this video!!!!!!! i saw him in some interview for fallout 4 last week and now hes like the same size as todd
The dude's swoll, now. I made a similar comment on the very video you're referencing. It's crazy, really.
+Pink Town Eleven For what it's worth, he's probably still a bad writer.
My all time favorite game series ever!
Man I wish I could get Todd to watch this just to remind him why he made the games he did.
yeah everything great they mentioned here for this game, they removed and/or dumbed down completely in the newer games. In fallout 4 they butchered VATS, In fallout 76, they completely removed it. And this goes for a lot of things that were fun.
@@KneppaH VATS in 76 would be a little weird considering the PVP aspect, but still it would be welcomed when doing PVE. I didn’t like it too much in 4, it it’s “okay”.
u guys overestimate the power of todd to influence every detail. hes influential but hes also just a minion for the true boss
@@KneppaHI notice they do that as well instead of improving upon their systems they completely remove them and replace them with watered down uninteresting ones which is why fallout 4 is so much worse than 3. But unfortunately that's what sales so we'll never get a good fallout or elder scrolls ever again
Damn my boy Emil leveled up throughout the years, good for him.
fr bruh used ti be so fat, do u think he still has his loose skin in a jar
Horrible writer
Very true lol@@Femkota
The sound effects part at the end was actually brilliant. Makes me think of game sound in a whole new way. I'm gonna listen in the future and try and figure out what random objects they might have used!
Over a decade of playing this game and I'm just now realizing that Liam plays dads voice 😂 wow
"Why are you taking pictures of manhole covers around the White House?"
and my answer would be very simple "I'm just imagining what this would all look like if it was blown up"
haha >:) :P
I actually really enjoyed Fallout 3. It's very different from the other games, but it's a fun game in it's own right. It has some truly memorable moments, and the story is very well written.
thank you jay great video
Thanks for watching!
RIP Adam. I get to bummed out form Fallout 4 the Karma system is gone. Fallout 3 NV Oblivion I can always go back and play.
god i loved this game. I was so impressed when i first turned it on not having any idea what was to come. especially with Liam Neeson being my dad i knew if i got into trouble with anyone he'd look for them, find them and kill them.
This game came out 2008. Let that sink in.
Didn't see this till now, thanks for posting it!
Damn...how the mighty have fallen.

Hello from the future here
Well im playing this game for the first time 10 years after this vodeo and hell yeah its good

Hits hard after Starfield.
"We hope we are as well known for Fallout as we are for Elder Scrolls" They had no idea.
Fallout 3 pinnacle of gaming.
Best game ever
My absolute favorite game, no game ever captured be like Fallout 3 did.
Fallout 3 was so brilliantly designed and thought out. Still one of my favourites to this day.
I could barely recognize Emil, he aged so well!
I find it funny some of their ideas they changed for F3 were switched back for F4 like V.A.T.S. being slow motion instead of stopped :P
I wish they would remake this game in 1080p. They definitely accomplished there goal in creating a game that makes you lose yourself. Luckily I was on vacation when I played it in 17 hour increments.
Pc version says hello
noobishmacgaming fallout3.exe has stopped working......
Get the PC versions

So wild seeing how much weight Emil lost. Such a hard thing to do.
lol, funny thing is I was a sr in high school when Fo3 came out, I did stay up til 5-6 AM playing it. On my old 20gb Xbox 360 it had a memory cache problem. I remember getting it one night and calling Xbox-Microsoft and getting the secret button combination you had to press to prompt the 360 to clear the memory cache! Now I think it’s built into the Xbox every time you restart it. Crazy
i hope they do a remaster for this too
Not the first time I watch this. Fallout 3 is a great game, and I love the feeling of nostalgia watching this.
Awesome upload man
"Cool is cool forever, man" - confirming it in 2020. And God, I have put 40+ hours in the game jus tto realize that Liam Neeson was my dad?! Incredible!
Fallout 3 never gets old. I always have to replay it every few months.
It’s so sad how we went from fallout 3 and NV to fallout 4 and 76
@@Da60FOVDemon i'm pretty sure both of those games are good in their own rights, not everything has to be new vegas and for all we know new vegas could've fail in modern times. (also fallout 3 but that game has been hated to hell and back, and i love that game)
@@Da60FOVDemon Fallout 4 kicks ass: people only retroactively started hating it after 76, and it became cool to hate on BGS. Same with Skyrim. All the "Fallout 4 wasn't as good as we thought" "Bethesda was never that great" videos are ALL within the last 5 years since 76 came out
Bethesda will never do better than Fallout 3. This is their peak.
Fallout 3 was such a great game. But, at some point, it left me wondering how much more could have been done, and how much more should have been done.
Why would you wonder that when there is like 300 hours of gameplay? They put a ridiculous amount of things in it.
I wonder that because, I played all 300 hours of the game, and I thought there could have been more. Like, why couldn't I have made a robot to help me? Or, there should have been a mission to help the Megaton waterworks get better water. Or perhaps another mission to make larger stronger walls for Megaton. I felt that I should have been able to customize my hunting rifle, one of the most versatile weapons in the game, so that it had a scope, or shot a heavier load, or something. I thought there were things missing in the game.
WarBerJr02 Those are extremely specific things and asking for them is kind of ridiculous. You shouldn't look back on 300 hours of gameplay and go "Oh they forgot this." They didn't forget anything, they can't include absolutely everything, but they did a damn good job of having thousands, millions of things to do.
I played the game, and I thought they could have put more content in it. And, I still think they could have put more content in it.
I know what you mean. I use the Creation Kit to create mods with Fallout3 and you can see all the areas where spawns occur. They could have made a lot more random encounters than what they left it with. Overall though they had to accommodate the console limitations however, so its understandable.
Great video all around. One thing that stuck out for me among other things - Man, Malcolm McDowell is a damn good VA. He did a fantastic job with President Eden. I'd love to see him VA a role in FO4. Don't get me wrong, Liam was great but you can really see and get a feel McDowell got into the role.
I miss you guys I miss the good guy Bethesda when you guys cared about your customers and didn't care about money and greed
Holy Hand Grenades Batman! 7:09 is Emil, who is sitting next to Todd in this video. He lost tons of weight and is ripped as!
czcams.com/video/RGjn4D0cztI/video.html
+Camelworks WOW! WOW! He should release a fitness video!
+Camelworks I just came to the comments to post the same thing! If it wasn't for that tattoo on his arm, I would never have noticed! I was like ''Hold on....that's that fucking buff dude I saw in the Fallout 4 interview!''
+Camelworks At first I didn't know it was him, then I saw the tattoo on on his arm and was like holly shit. And then came done to read comments about it.
+Camelworks they have a gym with the studio so it was bound to happen.

Takes more than just being near the equipment. I got all the shit I need to get in shape (weights, skipping rope, running machine) and I'm still out of shape lol. A quick google search led me to his twitter and he said he had weight loss surgery, presumably a gastric band was fitted and that, combined with a lot of exercise sorted him out.
I really really hope they have a documentary type thing for Starfield. I like to follow passionate game developers and I’ve always felt that this team was extra passionate with their projects and I would like to highlight this team specifically because 74 was a turd in almost every aspect.
Lmao
Fallout 3 was great. Is great.
Used to put so many hours in on this game. Spent entire weekends from morning to late night in the Wasteland. Good times
I am sorry I can't be a bad person when my dad is liam nelson. I mean if liam nelson said I am disappointed in you I would cry. I would seriously cry,

Person: What kind of video games, the kind with shooting?
Todd: Yeah kinda.
Person: So is it violent, where's it set?
Todd: DC.
Person: Oh that's cute!
Todd: Yeah It's all... blown up.
13 years ago now and still I’m finding new things in the Capital Wasteland. Damn good game.
love adams creative process.
The music choice was so weird and distracting lol but other than that this was an awesome behind the scenes experience.
I could ignore the dated (even for the time) music choice but those Dutch angles were driving me nuts. Just one after the other, over and over and over lmao.
fallout and the elder scrolls best series ever!
*NO QUESTION ABOUT IT*
They're the only games that make me feel like I AM the character (at least with TES) rather than I'm playing AS a character.
11:50 I would absolutely be in love if this guy let me look through all his concept art from fallout! 😍
He died back in 2012 due to lung cancer :((
@@blu6 awe thanks dad to hear.
Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas perfectly-compliment one another: One is green/blue, and the other orange/red. One is North the other West. One is metro, the other the opposite. Fallout 3 and New Vegas have in-effect, more or less the same parts only their own emphasis (one is technologically a mod of the other game's engine code). Why're people unable to simply like Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 when they sort of do already...is strange tbh.
There's a guy who once said something about War not changing.
"I hope someday we're known for Fallout just as we're known for Elder Scrolls"
other way round now
I will never look at the ants the same way again. Now every time I here them coming I’ll think of plastic crinkling
I first played this game when it came out at 9 years old. It’s cliche to say but it did define my childhood. I’m now 24 and very few games have come close to the all around quality this game has. 15 years later and it still has an insane amount of depth, replay ability, fun gunplay, stellar writing. New Vegas is still my favorite because if it’s much needed levity but I will never forget exploring the capital wasteland as a 9 year old. Also my music taste was shaped by this game.
So freaking cool. Awesome documentary
One of the greatest games of all time and savior to the Fallout series. The formula it had pioneered some good games.
I think if Bethesda adds a composite bow to Fallout 4 that it could add a nice variation to the types of weapons you can use in the wasteland.. Just imagine a Mutant trying to pull the arrow out of his head... It's be kinda funny :D
stephaniepretty yeah Bows, we don't have enough the last Years^^
SuPlex ^-^ hehe
***** well i wrote my opinion on the bethesda channel, on one of their videos, seems lots of people like the comment so far, so maybe it's getting noticed :P
stephaniepretty Fallout 4 concept art has a crossbow on one side ;)
Ama Llama yeah so i've heard, havent seen it nor gunna look :P
Fallout is making a comeback. Get ready.
Fallout is dead pal
@@Dillybar777is dead.....Number 1 still on amazon video........so what's dead.....
So glad someone else sees this.
It is but you should cry it's gonna be butchered
@@daviddougher8637 yeah I love playing the TV show on my Xbox lmao. The game is toast man.
I prefere Fallout 3 & NV over Elder Scrolls Oblivion & Skyrim
Skyrim > New Vegas > Fallout 3 > Morrowind/Oblivion imo.
Donnel Fallout 3 > New Vegas > Morrowind > Ride to hell > Skyrim.
I like all of them........sooooo.............all are equal......
Donnel was morrowind to complex for you do to the fact its a actual rpg
i love fallout 3, not a fan of NV.
I hate oblivion... but love skyrim
Fallout 3 is amazing but the story was pretty much Fallout 1 and they still managed to mess it up. New Vegas has a much stronger story but Fallout 3 definitely felt more fun to explore.
thanks for your input bobby but i must say your burger recipe is good i made it for my kids and they loved it
I agree that Fallout 3 has a pretty average story, but it was my first ever Fallout game (I was 1 year old when the Fallout 1 came out, but have since played that as well), and it will always be close to my heart. Not to sound cheesy here, but you'll always remember your first one.
In terms of creating a consistent atmosphere and a compelling reason to do stuff, I prefer F3 to New Vegas.
Jack Borden Actually NewVegas world is a lot more functional and believable, It's been 200 years and people in DC are still eating the damn prewar food and still didn't bother to clean all those debris, New Vegas has farms, ranches, Casinos.. An economy basically. I feel like DC looks like 50 years after fallout, not 200 years.
For the compelling reason to progress, I actually enjoyed the more care free (but with more choices and consequences) take of the MQ with Newvegas, with Bethesda you are always "saving" the world.
47Mortuus That would be your opinion really, I'm not seeing any objective reasons there.
Fallout 3 and New Vegas for for next gen, then I can Die happy !
Will fallout 4 do ?
Yup
I am from the future where trump is President and you can play these games on Xbox one die happy
@@syrupman2887 I can't wait for his next term! :)
Are you still alive??
Such an amazing game. The designers are so talented.
The fact that I have the collectors edition of this and have never noticed or remembered this was in the lunchbox is crazy.
Who's idea was it to not put iron sights in the game?
They didn’t want it to be like cod or anything. I know I’m 9 years late.
The irony of the power going out during the doco.. and the fact they left it in the final show is pretty cool
How have I not seen this before?! Liked, Favorited and Subbed!
"Its tough, we're an rpg not a shooter"
Did they lose this guy during the development of Fallout 4? :(
