Fallout 3 designer Emil Pagliarulo says the location scouting that went into the development of Fallout 3's Washington, D.C. almost got one artist into big trouble.
Speaking to PC Gamer, the devs behind Fallout often spoke of just how fun it is to virtually destroy areas – especially when you live there. As artist Istvan Pely says, "it was actually a lot of fun," adding, "this tickled some part of the brain where it's just kind of fun to blow things up."
