In games, when a developer releases a brand new installment for the series, it is to be expected that the graphics and contents of the IP will be a lot better than its predecessor—especially if it is designed for next-gen systems. However, Bethesda, the developer of the famous and upcoming fourth installment of the Fallout series, "Fallout 4," is reportedly going to dial down the graphics of their IP, as reported on Game Reactor.

Bethesda showed the trailer of "Fallout 4" during the recently concluded Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) and while the features of the game are remarkable, fans have noticed that the game is lacking in graphics. Pete Hines spoke with Game Spot and explained that they are balancing "Fallout 4" and that Bethesda is focusing more on the complex side of the game than the fancy graphics.

Hines said, "Everything that we do is a balance. We could make the best looking game possible, but we dial some of that back in order to allow for all of these other things." He also explained that, in the next installment, players will have more freedom. "If you want to pick flowers and make potions all day, then that's what you're role-playing. If you want to go shoot everybody in the head with a laser-musket, then that's what you're role-playing."

Features and content are important in any game, but graphics should be given just as much importance, as graphics can make or break a game's immerssiveness. But fans might not have to complain about the graphics anyway, as the game's content is reportedly its major attraction.

According to Games Radar, the lead producer of the game has spent 400 hours playing "Fallout 4" and is still finding it interesting to discover objects that he has never encountered before. During a Bethesda-staffed presentation at E3, he said, "I've played the game probably 400 hours, and I'm still finding stuff that I haven't seen yet."
