So recently, via Twitter, Bethesda revealed some new concept art. Pretty minor stuff but cool none the less. What was really interesting is what the tweet said. It said, and i quote, "Our artists created 2x the game assets for Fallout 4 than Skyrim, get a taste in our art book." Wow this means that not only will Fallout 4 be twice as big as Skyrim, but it will also be twice as detailed! Definitely going to win GOTY! Your thoughts?

I don't completely think it's going to be twice as detailed and twice as big as skyrim. Game world wise it's going to be about the same map size as skyrim, which in itself is incredible because that is going to be wonderful. What it does mean I think, is that it will have twice as much dialogue, more in depth dungeons to explore, more armor and weapons as a whole and maybe many more quests and random events. That's my take on it. Great topic to discuss!

i didn't see this tweet and i didn't see the last screenshot thank you for posting this pal was pretty damn useful

@Grimmex

couldn't agree more with you buddy

I doubt they'll use all the assets they've created, i'm sure it'll be more detailed than Skyrim though.

I wouldn't interpret this so literally if I were you. Twice the assets doesn't guarantee anything about the game's size... it could be referring to lots of things like the 700+ weapon upgrades, more variety in environment meshes and textures, etc.

Todd Howard said, when asked in an interview, the map will be of a similar size to Skyrim's, so I don't think it's going to be twice the size.
So it should mean while its a similar size, it'll be far more detailed with a lot more filling up the area, no blank or plain spaces, more to look at and enjoy
Hopefully more to do as well
