Reposting this from the last thread since I posted it literally 10 seconds before it got locked :sadvaultboy:


If you had to pick a favorite Daedric Prince who would it be and why?

Ssecondary questions. Are you interested in the work of Rooster Teeth productions? If so what do you think about Immersion?

For those of you who don't know what that is it's a new video series where they take things that we take for granted in games and apply them to real life. Such as Driving a car in a third person camera angle, or trying to complete a obstacle course seeing things only from a 2d perspective.

P.S. If you are interested by that you can check out the first link in my signature.

The discussion about fonts is very interesting, especially to a non-fonter (yes, fonter, like someone who plays games is called a gamer. ) like me. So then...

• What's your favourite font? Why?
  
• How do you become a font snob?
  
• Any interesting facts about fonts?

Genuinely interested here.

What is your personal favorite moment in the TES series?*

When can we expect to hear about TES VI? :rofl:


*This question was posted in a fan interview awhile back. The original interview isn't available now, but remnants of it are on UESP. I say remnants because I remember the question (mainly Question 19) being worded differently and to a number of different people.

Going there, already??

Favorites -- monospaced: Inconsolata, by Raph Levien; proportional: Requiem, by Hoefler & Frere-Jones; kana: Kazuraki, by Ryoko Nishizuka

I used to do a lot of graphic design work (mostly t-shirts and posters for theatre publicity), and as I did that i just learned more and more about individual fonts, got a feeling for their personalities, became picky about weights, drop heights, kerning, etc.

Interesting fact -- the term "upper case" comes from the fact that the capital letters used to reside in the top part of a font storage cabinet back in the day when everything was typeset by hand. The letters literally came from the upper case.

And with that, I'm thinking we should curtail the font talk, lest the rest of the forums revolt.

Cheers - very interesting.

Yeah let's postpone the font talk for another time!

ever gone back to a game and think..... that was a mistake!! (a specific part, not the whole thing)



what acts of genius have you commited into the games (m'aiq,mudcrab merchant,fargoth,the banhammer etc)

If you were put in charge of a brand new Bethesda-style, open-world IP, what type of world would you want to create?

Low fantasy, steam punk, cyber punk, far-future sci-fi, etc...

Science Fiction... galactic exploration. Like Starflight, only with much deeper RPG elements.

Todd, do you ever read the Elder Scrolls stories that get emailed your way? Or do the Ordinators, burn it with their torches before you have a chance to read them?

If you do read such ramblings, does it put a smile on your face to know that your creation inspires people to write about their adventures in your games?

Do you like Steampunk?

I love it. I reckon there should be more steampunk games.

Off topic, but... I see you're a Doctor Who fan. How do you like Matt Smith as the new guy?

Steampunk as a setting is very interesting. One of my favorite games (and they are rare) of the past is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcanum:_Of_Steamworks_and_Magick_Obscura.

I like him. He brings a different kind of Doctor to the table. Sort of that nerdy, quirky, Tom Baker-esque character that the last two Doctors didn't possess (not that they need to). My favorites are still Baker, McGann and Tennant though

Please, suggest Bethesda to do this! Space sim games are dead a long time, I want to see a new one. And with deep RPG elements. Most are just player skill based.

What's your favourite race in TES to play as?

Oh and completely off-topic but can you recommend any good T.V shows to watch? Dexter, The Event, and several other of my favourite shows just ended so I've nothing to watch :sadvaultboy: .

What's your favourite province in Tamriel? And which interests you more out of Akavir, Atmora, Yokuda, Thras and Pyandonea?

I like playing as a Dark Elf. Always thought the Dunmer were kind of cool.

These are the TV shows I am watching right now, or maybe ended but I still recommend (I could list 100, but here is a sample):
Doctor Who, Torchwood, Leverage, Fringe, Firefly, Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles, Mystery Science Theater 3000, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_of_Sherwood (1984), Merlin, Battlestar Galactica

There, that'll keep you busy.

The current one happens to be my favorite... and that was before we started working on it.

Akavir all the way!

Thank you! :celebration:

I find Elsweyr to be the most interesting province.

And please -- Thras, of course. Sload 4 lyfe.

D-d-doppelganger! Save it for Queen Dopplepopolous!


How much do you forum, website, and server techs dread the day of game releases or announcements?

According to the Tamriel map, Skyrim is the smallest province of Morrowind Oblivion And Skyrim. Will this be reflected in game or will it be scaled differently.

Gonna save GStaff & company the trouble. We can't really discuss Skyrim development, this is more of a "get to know you" thread
