Vsions, how would I go about contracting you to draw a tattoo for me?

Do you guys ever fight about what you think should go into a game, or how it should be presented?

Well, I do a fair amount with After Effects too, for titling stuff and such. They're both good programs, just made for entirely different purposes. Sometimes Final Cut annoys me too. The fact that I can ONLY have linearly-interpolated movement keyframes in FCP is rage-inducing.


Love it. This is sig-worthy.

After Effects? That's one learning curve I'd rather not climb, the program is just sitting on my desktop now.

Was the decision to go with Skyrim as a location an executive decision or a discussion?

Not a dev, but from watching developer diaries and having visited a couple of studios in the city where I live, I've got to say that it already has started to follow such a path. I mean, there are entire room(s)/people(s) at Rockstar devoted to using their new method of face capturing for their actors, there are people devoted to doing motion capture on animals, people devoted to just sound engineering, whereas back in the day it could be just a small handful of people making a game using simple (comparatively) tools.

Can you guys confirm whether Jeremy Soule is back on board to compose the TESV soundtrack? I assume he is, and judging from the music from the teaser trailer it sounds to me like he is, but others aren't so sure.

Hello Devs!

What character Class do you usually go with?

What alignements do you usually Roleplay?

I have a riddle for any dev who wants to try and answer it.

"What can a man find that God cannot have?"

(The spoiler isn't the answer but where I got the riddle)

I dunno, peace?

Nope! But I will pm you the answer so it's not spoiled.

edit* for that matter, so the thread doesn't get cluttered with regular member guesses you can PM me if you want to try and guess.

I'm rather certain that this would be the correct answer, so if anyone doesn't want to know the correct answer, don't press the button

To the devs:

1) Did you play modded Oblivion? (I think Gstaff might have, he was certainly keeping up with PES and their monthly awards).
2) Did you look at a Morrowind/Oblivion mod and think - yeah, this should be in the next game!
3) Did you read (and hopefully incorporate) some ideas from the "What should TES V have" threads we had on this forum?
4) Does the entire dev team meet and discuss the project everytime, or is it smaller groups (programmers/ artists etc. have their own meetings with the project manager)?

I second this, but if those questions are a little too much to answer, I'll just ask plainly do you like playing mods for TES and Fallout?

What are some your favorite locations in Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3?

What are some of your favorite quests in the games listed above?

Just got out of crazy two-day viewing of future ZeniMax titles! So awesome!


I do tend to geek out over lore. Excluding our own games, I'm currently delving EVE Online's backstory, which really reads more like a very dry technical manual concerning FTL space travel, quantum entanglement communication, DNA cloning procedures, etc. in excruciating detail. In other words, awesome. Other than that, I dig the Star Trek lore, to the point where I actually read all the auxiliary novels and alternate universe stuff. Fortunately, I haven't delved into Spock / Kirk slash-fiction...yet.



1. It doesn't really count, but Daft Punk, Alive Tour, 2007. YES.
2. Yes!
3. :whistling:
4. Enh, none, really.
5. Definitely nothing. I really prefer to keep myself in the dark.
6. All of the Earthbound monsters come to mind. You haven't really been attacked until you've been attacked by a floating Dali painting and a sentient fire hydrant.
7. Hmm...http://www.brandonbird.com/paintings.html?



Like Sir Killmoms, I also gravitate towards high-tech sci-fi over high fantasy. I've gotten about 50 hours into Oblivion, but that's about it. Meanwhile, I have hundreds of hours into all versions of the Fallout games, Mass Effect series, Dead Space, etc. etc.

Not that this does anything to still my fervor for getting into Skyrim. TESV == open-world Bethesda gaming == crazy fun-times for Yours Truly.



We do! We even have an ailing Compaq Presario 425 that we keep alive for the sole purpose of playing Arena.



If by "inspiration", you mean "getting it compile and not crash", usually pretty anti-climatic. ;P



At least.



"Take On Me" by a-ha is a given for everybody, so I'll go with "Cars" by Fear Factory.



She does all the time. "Hey son, are you still working on that Fallouts? Is that the game the kids are playing? Can I get that Fallthrough 3 for the Wii?" "MooOOooommm... :facepalm: "

YO!

They haven't gotten rid of me yet.

Any awesome anecdotes of awesome here? Who's your favourite ME2 squaddie?

What does Hayt do?

Did you get to listen to the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4dUiBfMQVU soundtrack yet? If so, do you like it?

Hayt leads to sufferyng.

Do you like SeaNanners @ youtube?

Mass Effect is one long, awesome anecdote, ME2 especially. I think Tali rides high as my favorite squad member / love interest, although Garrus shot way up there when, in between ME 1 and 2, he decided to turn into a total badass. Legion's also in the top 3 just because he's a robot and robots are quantifiably cooler than non-robots. It's a fact!

Okay, first of all, didn't anyone ever tell you that it's rude to talk about someone when he's, like, standing right there?

I do, however, applaud the comedy response.

I'm a designer. Did some ancillary stuff on Morrowind, misc. quests for Tribunal, Raven Rock for Bloodmoon, Mages Guild for Oblivion, most of the Main Quest for Fallout 3, and... well, some stuff on Skyrim. Secret stuff.

So how many quest designers are there?
