Fallout 3 downloadable content

At the time of writing, there’s a live interview on the subject of Fallout 3 with Pete Hines, vice president of PR and marketing at Bethesda Softworks, on Eurogamer. Conversation has covered a range of Fallout 3 topics, but most notable include those that involve forthcoming downloadable content, PC version patches and the current level cap:

On taking characters beyond Level 20:

Pete Hines: No plans to increase the level cap beyond 20. We think at that point you’re plenty tough enough.

On downloadable content:

Pete Hines: We’re working on stuff that adds multiple hours of gameplay; new quests, content, enemies, etc. Something along the lines of Knights Of The Nine for Oblivion in size and scope.

On PC patches:

Pete Hines: As far as fixes, there’s a PC update coming out later today that will address a few PC-specific things that have come up.

On drivable vehicles:

Pete Hines: Nope, no driveable vehicles. Sorry.

It’s shame about the level cap, though there are obviously balancing issues at stake here, but good news on the downloadable content: Knights Of The Nine was a pretty hefty series of quests and content in one expansion. Check the full interview out here.
