Meet the Devs # 3 : V - Skyrim

Been listening to them since you said that and they are really good. Kind of an upbeat folky sound to them! You ever hear of the UK-based band Mumford and Sons? Check them out, i think you will be impressed!

I've heard the name but haven't listened to their stuff. I hear them brought up in the same breath as Frightened Rabbit a lot, so I should probably check them out. And hey, look at that, there they are on Rdio! I know what I'm queueing up tonight.

And yeah, TMG are amazing. I think the reason I like them so much is John Darnielle's incredible lyrical ability—and especially how often his bleak lyrics contrast with the arrangements. He's definitely tied for first in my "Favorite Lyricist" spot next to Joni Mitchell. I have a pretty intense relationship with the record "Get Lonely," not gonna lie.

What do I have to do to get those mountains that were behind Todd when he was announcing at the VGAs as a wallpaper for my computer?

What's your new game engine for Skyrim called, or what physics engine are you guys using?

Favorite mods for Oblivion?

Do the superiours keep a good and harsh discipline in the offices?

What's the stupidest setback you've experienced or heard of at work?

For example, has someone dropped their beverage on a computer?

» Wed Aug 26, 2009 10:32 am

OH, and have you tried any oblivion mods? or even taken insipiration from them?

What kind of qualities do you need to work as a developer (although I realise that depends on what you're doing)?

If you weren't a Bethesda game developer, what would you do?

Who would win in a fight the Adoring Fan or HK-47?

Are there any concept artists there that can share a bit of their experience before working at BGS?

That's actually the first thing I've noticed with them. Listening to 'This Year' and you hear this story about underage drinking and how 'bad things are gonna come' from his stepfather, all the while this optimistic beat is played through the whole thing. I love stuff like that. You should give 'Little Lion Man' and 'The Cave' most of your time when checking out MAS.

Lyrically I'm loving Regina Spektor at the minute. Maybe a TMG/RS collaboration on a Skyrim theme song?

What college did you go too/ what did you major in?

also how did you get into the field and what was your first program you used?

» Wed Aug 26, 2009 12:09 am

1. Have you ever spoken directly to the ALMIGHTY TODD HOWARD?

2. Have you guys ever attempted to prank the ALMIGHTY TODD HOWARD?

3. what was your favorite moment in Oblivion?

Okay a question for you guys.

What arises if you mix a hedgehog and a snake together?

Cookie ( :: ) for the 1 who knows to answer this first correctly.

Sonic Snake?

Snake? Snake?! SNAAAAAAKE!

Silly questions I would like answered:

Have they unchained you and let you go home yet?

Do they keep you in the same dungeon as the moderators?

Are you able to get out of the tutorial dungeon in Daggerfall?

» Tue Aug 25, 2009 11:32 pm

And or/

Adoring Fan vs. Liberty Prime

» Tue Aug 25, 2009 11:01 pm

If your uncle Jack helped you off an elephant, would you help your uncle Jack off an elephant?

Okay seriously now;

Are/is there anything that has happened or been said on these here forums that might have inspired a decision during the development of Skyrim? Something like the "Fishy Stick" thing that's in Morrowind and Oblivion. Have any of you guys seen anything that could possibly play the same role? Like a little quirk or Easter Egg from here?

To any of the devs, this friend I have only seems to call me when he wants a ride somewhere. And he has a job (only because I filled out his application and resume for him and drove him to his interview) working at a temp agency for shipping & receiving, but he's so cheap on giving me gas money. Like, the last time I asked him for gas money, he gave me $5 and said that's all he had. But he certainly could afford to go buy $20 worth of pot. And when I keep asking him for it, he gets all defensive. So should I just be like "hey, either give me gas money or no ride"? cause I hate being somebody's personal taxicab.

Alright developers, there's gotta be one of you virtuoso rockers in there somewhere.

Do any of you play instruments? If so, which instrument and how long have you done it? Has it only ever been just a hobby on the side?

Has the recession affected your income?

» Wed Aug 26, 2009 3:35 am

Which one of you wise guys was responsible for the adoring fan?

» Tue Aug 25, 2009 9:34 pm

Question for the testers or anyone else that have had this happen.

With all the hours you have put in testing a game, have you ever had trouble falling asleep at night because, in your mind, you are still playing?

(ordinary forum posters feel free to answer too!)

My degree is in mathematics. My first program was on a TRS-80. Using paper tape. Yeah, I know.

Sadly, I built the tutorial dungeon in Daggerfall. So you can blame me.
