Bethesda Explains Why it's Dialing Back Fallout 4's Graphics

"We could make the best looking game possible," says Bethesda's Pete Hines.

Fallout 4 will be a gorgeous game, but Bethesda is choosing to dial back the graphics in order to allow players more features. This was revealed at an E3 roundtable interview with Bethesda's Pete Hines .

"Everything that we do is a balance," Hines said, via Gamespot. "We could make the best looking game possible, but we dial some of that back in order to allow for all of these other things."

Hines went on to emphasise the role-playing freedom Fallout 4 will offer. "If you want to pick flowers and make potions all day, then that's what you're role-playing," he said. "If you want to go shoot everybody in the head with a laser-musket, then that's what you're role-playing."

Bethesda has confirmed the Fallout 4 release date as November 10 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
