What??? lol bitter much? Confirmation on this please...

Glad to see Ken rear his head, I still resent him for leaving :/ wow just look at all the people who don't know who he is.....lol you guys REALLY thought Todd was the brains behind TES? pffft I hope this thread gets stickied, a nice educational reminder, that said theres no bad blood between the guys he has said in previous interviews. and also I agree about KOA Im on the fence and from what I saw, barring the graphics its not all that impressive, the sprites look like the slide on the ground and are superconnected to it like Oblivion and Morrowind, yes I know theres a mystical thing called Gravity.

He sounds like an ass to be honest...

Maybe not on Todds part, but Ken obviously seems a little bitter.

thats only your own oppinion. i think those game both look just as amazing. if you look at other trailers you will see that Reckoning is a game that aims to have alot of debth and they dont have the budget skyrim has. if this gamre is a success they will probably prepare a sequel and since Ken is the lead designer you can expect alot more Depth than current ES games

I really wish people would stop writing in purple so I have to highlight their post to even be able to read it :/
Please, do it for me, find a different colour that isnt so close to black?
Pretty please?

"When you kill something big, something good's gotta come out of it"

THIS is what TES Lacks.

All the loot is random, there are no overly special weapons dropped or any sense of achievement for killing any big monsters. No saying "Yay I got the Ogre slaying knife, its got a +9 against OGRES!". All you ever find is vendor trash. So killing big monsters or findign a golden casket deep at the bottom of a cave is completely pointless and never makes you feel rewarded.

In an http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7lzDYDJT1Q#t=7m3s with our beloved Ken Rolston, he makes some remarks about the "puritan", DnD-derived RPG elements that he seeks to preserve in the project. He then goes on to make some comments about Todd Howard and Oblivion in a satirical (without malicious intent I'd hope) fashion. He even used the buzzword "visceral". Personally, not to incite any big debates, but I agree with Rolston on a lot of these points. For any TES-neophytes who don't know who Ken Rolston is, he was the lead designer for Morrowind and largely responsible for most of the game's writing - much of the game's eldritch DnD inspiration is from him. He stuck around with Bethesda through Oblivion before being a fool and leaving the best developer ever. :sadvaultboy:

Also, it is interesting to see how with KoA, they've begun adapting to a less rigid archetype system just as Bethesda is doing with Skyrim. RPG developers seem to work in trends. I wonder if they still keep in touch?

7:10 onward, if the time cue doesn't work for any of you. Maybe this should go in TES general discussion?

This a very unfortunate interview. And painful to watch.
If indeed he is talking about Todd Howard - and that is a big if - then it just degrades the whole thing down to resentful, bitter and envious counter propaganda.

Painful to watch.

I'd like to throw in unprofessional and childish.
