The technology for radiant stories in 'Skyrim' is phenomenal. We tried and pared it back.

I see games... as the ultimate combination of art and technology.

Every year, there's a new idea we can't do and a new technology for something that excites us.

Batman. I like the idea that if I had enough money, time, and vengeance, I could become him.

With 'Fallout 4,' we've done over 20 million downloads, and most of that is mods. That's a staggering number. It has always done well on the PC - but the console audience has such a hunger for it because they've waited so long. We think there's a really good future there, with both 'Skyrim' and 'Fallout 4,' that we hope to continue to add to.

For us, it's about having the game react to the player as much as possible. There's ways you can do that with technology, graphics, AI - we're doing some VR stuff right now - and so it's what we think is great about not just our games, but what's great about video games - how are they better than any other form of entertainment?
