Bethesda "lectured" Fallout New Vegas designer for saying the RPG would run at 30 FPS: "'Why do you have a f***ing engine that can't run 30 frames per second?'"

Fallout: New Vegas senior designer Chris Avellone shared an anecdote where Bethesda executives lectured him about promising the game would run at 30 frames per second. Despite the game's known performance issues due to the Gamebryo engine, Avellone stated that a game not running at 30 FPS was inexcusable. This discussion highlights internal awareness of the game's technical limitations prior to launch.
