Well, it sounds kind of daunting, but it seems most of it is just saying "Too early to tell."

How is he Dodge Hines? They've just got the Fallout licence, and any question I've sent to Pete Hines he's responded to quickly, usually the same day.
It's been 'no comment' most of the time, but that's not dodging the question, it's giving a straight answer - it's their policy not to talk about stuff. It's much better than some PR filled response that has a lot of words but says nothing.

Spazmo, what's with your new avatar? It's positively D: inducing.

I do like Pete. No matter how much we may banter about double speak or whatever. The few times that I've emailed him, he responded quickly and in detail. He's a good guy.

By the way, has it actually been confirmed that he's leaving? He could possibly be just switching titles or something.

Or perhaps they're just expanding their PR department to deal with all these Fallout fans bugging them with questions.

Well, In one of the early interviews, he mentioned that FO3 won't be (isometric) like Baldur's Gate.
When I asked him on the TES forum why he even mentioned Baldur's Gate he said something like "Because BioWare developed it."
I am not certain anymore but I think he may have said that it's because BW developed KOTOR or something similar.
When I asked him how this was relevant in the context of Fallout, he didn't reply.

I consider that dodging a question.

Teatime & King of Creation:

That is a side of Pete that I never heard about.

He's not leaving. He's hiring some help.

Hey Pete!
Force them to include TB combat and an isometric view-point.
