‘Here’s where the water is stored, here’s where the farms are, here’s where the government is centralised’. We had it all planned out - it wasn’t just a bunch of random stuff.”
“We had to simplify, so we had less stuff that would bog down the game engine. We would have had fewer performance issues. We did break it up a bit, but from my point of view it was a performance-related game and we had to fix things.” - Scott Everts.
Obsidian's Scott Everts1 attributes some of the performance issues and simplifcation present in the game to the fact that the game wasn't a PC exclusive.
