Fallout 3 Producer On Ball-Gags And Rough Trade
Fallout 3 fans should check out the Bethesda community boards, where executive producer Todd Howard answered 20 questions submitted by forum members - plus five "bonus" questions.
The questions range from practical ("What skills will be in the game? And why the lower than usual stats in the Pip Boy screenshots?") to the...erotic? An anonymous fan asked whether or not we'll see the same kind of sexual encounters we saw in the past Fallout games - specifically, being a supermutant's love toy for the evening and receiving a (used) ball-gag as a souvenir. Howard's answer:
Actual player goes off and has sex? Not right now, but if a situation called for it, I wouldn’t flinch at adding it with the fade-out. We did that in Daggerfall using the fade out. We actually did paintings for the scene and it never made it in Daggerfall, but I still have the paintings. In regards to adding a supermutant rendezvous with a ball gag, the marketing department has been asking for this to put on the box, but we just haven’t found the time.
Since we're being open, what if I've been a bad boy (again)? Thanfully, Howard answers questions about crime and punishment (or lack thereof):
It’s actually a lot easier for us to handle in Fallout, where it’s ok to have violence break out when you do something people don’t like and then calm down later. Also, instead of a “global” thing like Oblivion, it’s on a faction level in Fallout, which also makes it work much better. And we use factions for any type of group, so the town of Megaton has its own faction.
