Does Todd Howard do actual work or just boss you guys/gals around?

you know liars are the most trustful people, because you can always trust them to lie, but you cant always trust a person to tell the truth

Do you get money when we buy NEW guides from retail stores?

What do I have to do to get the mountains background that was behind Todd at the VGAs as a wallpaper for my computer?

If you could swap desks with a co-worker, whose desk would you steal?

Adoring Fan vs. HK-47

Also what meatbag came up with the Adoring Fan?

Whats your favorite 1960s band

The Behemoth's games are grand. Loved Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers both. Good deal, bro.



I don't think it's so much that we think you developers are just trying to collect a check as we do the superiors who set your deadlines, etc. But still -- I really appreciate the sentiment. And I'm not joking. It's nice to hear you say you respect us!



Good point. Totally blanked on it. (Count me in for pirates btw.)



I second this question. I would love to have that enormous, enormous background of beautiful, snow-covered mountains.

Question, dev-sans. Are any of you fans of Shenmue? (And if so, have you heard that the series is being revived as a mobile game? And Yu Suzuki also commented recently that he'd still like to make Shenmue 3. If we could only ever be so lucky!)

That the devs are saying that people with any degree can get into game design is exciting me somewhat, but hopefully not in vain. My degree is in Philosophy, Latin and Classical Greek.

Do you have any classicists walking around, reciting Greek lyric poetry to themselves? Or is this a void I may one day hope to fill? :spotted owl:

I guess I’ll do these, since they’re nice and basic. My real name is Matt Killmon, and I’m the Video Producer for Bethesda Softworks (so not a dev, technically, as I’m not BGS). I’ve been there for two and a half years now. And, honestly? I wouldn’t swap desks with anyone. I’ve got one of the coolest desks in the place.

Re: Arcade Fire, start with “Funeral.” I think they can get overhyped to people who’ve never heard them before (so try to temper your expectations), but I do like them quite a lot. Their new album “The Suburbs” is a really great record. And they’re amazing live—I got to see them touring at Merriweather this summer and it was badass. Win’s voice can take some getting used to, but I love his lyrics.

Well, I got my major in architecture. I hear that it's quite relevant to game design. I had a professor that would talk about his best friend from when he was in school that ended up as a lead level designer for like Rockstar games or some such company.

Dev's is it possible that I can give my Christmas list to M'aiq the Liar of things to say in Skyrim? Actually I want to make him a nice poem. LOL.

With the development of oblivion there was a certain moment at which was said that: "We're almost done and we are cluttering the world now."
I like how each modder has their own preference/ways of working. While one builds the whole dungeon, adds scripts/quests/ai/pathing and then clutters, another puts all pieces together 1 by one starting with details (clutter/furniture/loot/random enemies) at the first moment and others doing a mix or something different. You could say that adding details from the start can enhance an area, but you can also say that 'getting the job done and working in the first place' is a skill already and focusing on details could loose the sight on the goal.

My question is, how do you handle/do your work?
And how's the division between detail and the base, in time spend? (ok that's probably subjective..but still . maybe compared at previous games like fallout3/oblivion/morrowind, or other things you may have worked on.)


hehe, would like to see this answered too .

If someone put a gun to your head and you either choose to end your life or give up The Elder Scrolls series to some random guy, which would you choose? (This question may effect your job, choose wisely )
