Marketing VP Pete Hines says the base customization will give you a “sense of making your own way in the world”.

[dropcap size=small]E[/dropcap]arlier this year at E3, Bethesda announced that their upcoming and highly anticipated game Fallout 4 will include the option for players to build their own base. Now, in a recent interview with Gamespot at this year’s Quakecon, Bethesda’s Vice President of Marketing has gone into greater detail on just what Fallout 4 has to offer when it comes to base customization.
To give everyone an idea of what Fallout 4‘s base customization would be like, Pete Tines has pointed out the flaws and restrictions that came with building your own house in Skyrim.
“It’s not just, ‘Hey, here’s Breezehome [one of the houses in Skyrim],’ where we just picked a house, and you can buy it, and you can go to somebody and say, ‘Here’s this much gold, and put this thing into my house.’ [In Fallout 4] it’s, ‘Now I’m building it, I’m actually building the house, I’m building the wall, I’m placing the door, I made the table, I made the mattress.’ It’s that sense of making your own way in the world and defining, ‘Who am I and where do I live and what’s my story in this world?'”
Pete Hines went on to explain that while there are restrictions on where you can build your base, once you pick a location and what you have in mind, the sky is the limit.
“There are preset locations around the world where you can [build]. You can definitely build up… [In one demo] there’s a radio tower, and the developer that built it just kept going up and incorporating the tower into their structure. Much like a game like Minecraft, you can be a noob and just build a simple little thing. And you can also get the guys who go crazy and [can say], ‘I rebuilt the spaceship from this game… [or] I rebuilt the Tardis from Doctor Who using the lights and stuff and it looks exactly like it.’ Like, holy s**t that’s incredible.”
Fallout 4 will be available on Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC on November 10th.
