The creator's activity raised questions.

Developer Emil Pagliarulo recently spoke with PC Gamer and shared memories of working on Fallout 3.

The game required reference materials, and one of the artists went to the center of the U.S. capital. While photographing buildings in Washington, he attracted the attention of a security service, which had some questions.

Emil Pagliarulo recalls:

"One day, one of our artists went to take a few photos downtown. He was stopped by security and asked: \"Why are you taking pictures?\" As it turns out, in Washington, for understandable reasons, people are not very happy when someone walks around government buildings with a camera."
