Thanks devs for finally giving us fans some light on your new epic

Does anyone in the team still play oblivion and morrowind or have you all migrated to your new toy?
Has anyone from the team ever (anonymously) made a mod for either game and posted it for download like the many thousands available?

OK, OK, serious answers this time:



Yes, I have a degree in Comp Sci from the University of Maryland. It's incredibly useful. A base in programming fundamentals is invaluable. Don't let the fancy, million-dollar cars and diamond-studded keyboards dissuade you. About 80% of my daily work is straight from CS 101: dealing with arrays, for loops, commenting properly, fixing memory leaks, NULL pointer crashes, etc. etc. That's the beauty of programming. From space shuttles to coffee grinders to Skyrim, it's all basically the same, just with a different knowledge / requirements set.




...um...well...let's say...adequate.




Yes. The full name is "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: A Todd Howard Production: Sponsored by Papa John's Pizza: 'Better Ingredients, Better Pizza, Papa John's!', Patents Pending".

We call it "Skyrim" for short.



1. I guess....hm...4 years now? Crap! That's long!
2. A little bit. I had just started on Oblivion before my interview. Luckily, the Lore portion of my test was multiple-choice.
3. That there is lore at all. I am stunned, STUNNED, by how much craziness is in our immense backlog of lore that I have absolutely no idea about.
4. Earthbound for the SNES




Hmm. If I strip out the loaded parts of this question, all I get is, "I mean the general simplification of things (stuff like that)" Which I guess can be good. Or bad. It really depends. I'm for the simplifying of the inventory from Mass Effect 1 to Mass Effect 2. I'm against simplifying of the gameplay from Final Fantasy XII to Final Fantasy XIII. I prefer my RPGs around the level of, say, Mass Effect or Dragon Age or Fallout 3. That's about how I personally enjoy things. I mean, does that answer anything?




All of them. All the calipers. So many. Forever.

Good answers

Does anyone clean up after you? Like do you have maids (or whatever they be called) at the office to help out and clean up the messes (if there are any) from throwing a party or food)?






Also, will you answer my question about when or what month we can start preordering Skyrim? I don't think that would break the rule since some have had the questions answerd about Skyrim and this is all i want to know since I know you wouldn't answer my if there are werewolves in the game or planned to be yet... T_T

first of all, thant for everything guys.

I do have one question...

don you ( Bethesda Softworks ) follow the modding scene for your games, and do you try to implement great ideas spawned from said modding scene in the following games?

I sincerely hope you do, cuz that would be a huge amount of great ideas to take inspiration from

We have a full maintenance, janitorial and kitchen staff, without whom we really could not operate with any real effectiveness. :thumbsup:

Hey again I was wondering, how long is TES Website going to be the interactive mural thing? Will it change back to it's original soon?

I finally got something answered :touched: :hugs: Thank you

Wow that is nice, but aren't you ever afraid that they could somehow steal some info and sell it to other sites or something?

Also thank you for doing that cross out thing,basically saying you can't answer those questions, wish I knew how to do that XD

I and others look forward to enjoying this latest iteration in the series, but feel we must have answers to more pressing matters.
Please do not avoid your responsibility to this community, and answer as honestly as you can:

1. If our knees bent the other way, what would a chair look like?
2. Since the lawn is wet, do you still owe me a dollar?
3. Are my wounds more apparent in my slight limp or mostly-hidden scar tissue?

As an old moderator here, I feel I've earned the truth.
Just do your best; this isn't a timed examination.
Hope to have made your lunchtime a tad more... :read:

So no questions about Skyrim. Hmm.

Any Lord of the Rings fans? Are you excited about The Hobbit movie? Have any of you ever played Lord of the Rings Online?

Will Skyrim be shown at E3? I'm joking!






But seriously, will it be?

I'll get the other half, Dan.

Look up in the box where you type your post...left side...the S with a line through it for strikethrough

Now, for the Devs...

If what goes up, must come down, what thing must go round?

OMG its clickable....errr wait, damit!!! :brokencomputer: lol thankz tho
:cookie: ?

We're told that a new game engine or graphics engine is being written (in-house?) to replace Gamebryo for TES:V. My question is, the devs working on this, what did they work on before? Did they work on Oblivion or FO3 (and if so, which parts?) or come from some other project (like what?) or company or what?

1. Our knees do bend the other way, how else would we stand?
2. No, because it's Tuesday
3. :spotted owl:

like this? Thankz:D

Thanks for answering


They give you lore quizes!? Faith in Bethesda +1. Any chance you remember and are allowed to share the questions? :hubbahubba:


[edit] I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank the QA team. I started out modding doing what could basically be called QA, and damn, thats hard work. You guys get far too little credit.

[edit2] Do I ask too many questions?

So - will http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1149185-grow-a-beard-for-skyrim/ grow a beard for Skyrim?

* Is TES V going to be released on PS3 or XBOX 360. Please say no, because it will confine game on PC...

On this note, is Bethesda Game Studios hiring for janitorial work? I need to make 60 dollars by 11-11-11.

:stare:

Yes, it is. http://bethblog.com/index.php/2010/12/13/skyrim-featured-in-the-next-issue-of-game-informer/.

The http://bethblog.com/index.php/2010/12/13/skyrim-featured-in-the-next-issue-of-game-informer/#more-11943 for Skyrim has already confirmed that it will be released for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Edit: Ninja'd by the fair Lady Nerevar.

So will it confine the game on PC? You know PC>ps3, xbox 360 , so game quality might be reduced by those consoles.

Shenanigans like that are played at a higher level in the food-chain. Besides, if you can't trust your cook, who can you trust?

The Devs aren't allowed to answer Skyrim questions, and I can only guess. PC Oblivion looked better and had more graphics options than Xbox Oblivion, so I can only assume it will be the same for Skyrim. I've not played the PS3 version, but I expect that it too has fewer customizable sliders.
