Here's Part 2 - goes on for about 5 mins before he goes into Alpha Protocol. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzfWY3xfrl0)

Part 1
-- They did NOT want a typical end-enemy battle; they were tired of it in-house
-- They wanted the player's party to take on another adventuring party throughout the game  AND at the end-game
-- Van Buren FO3 was to be turn-based
-- To try and figure out the above things, they tried to turn FO3 into a pen-and-paper game in pre-production phase

Part 2
-- Q & A on Fallout 3 (Van Buren)
-- Boulder Dome was the name of an area The Enclave would be inhabited.
