Virtual probes is just their double-speak for error checking procedures. All smart dev teams (!= Bethesda) use them. They just run AI's around interacting with everything to see what breaks, without having to render any graphics. Trying to make it sound more grandiose is just desparation. It was this that pushed this from mild interest, into highly skeptical.Davroth said:The game world is too big for the devs to explore it all and need to rely on virtual probes? That doesn't exactly inspire confidence in me.. I expect lots of fun bug and glitch videos, though.
