Fallout New Vegas director Josh Sawyer is pushing for granular difficulty options in RPGs to make the experience that much richer. Sawyer explains, "Yes, I think they're good. If it cost nothing⁠, which it does not⁠, then I would say let players in-game set their difficulty options however they like, and when it comes to exposing data tables and letting players mod that stuff, just let 'em do whatever the heck they want." Bethesda design director wants a Fallout 5 you could play for 600 hours because "that's the kind of games we make" If a Fallout 3 remaster is happening, I'm hoping it fixes the RPG's biggest level design issue Fallout: New Vegas director and RPG maestro Josh Sawyer says it doesn't matter how good a game's writing is if the pacing is bad: "Players are going to get tired of it" Sawyer explains that he personally has gravitated toward designing around player types rather than your classic selections, as he explains, "I don't think, 'This is an easy player, this is a hard player.' I think you have players that come to the games for different reasons." He adds, "It's more about 'What are they trying to get out of this game?'" He explains there's the likes of Explorers who are "here for a good time, not a hard time," while a Survivalist wants games to be "immersive and simulative in the mechanics." Sawyer concludes "giving more granular difficulty options is a very good thing," saying that "I think we should prioritize it more⁠ – I think I should prioritize it more." If a Fallout 3 remaster is happening, I'm hoping it fixes the RPG's biggest level design issue.
