Yeahhhh, that's a mushroom. But it's interesting that you saw what you did. Tell me: do you see these "male things" a lot?



Well the answer to that is fortuneatly a NO

But I think I am not the only one who made this mistake. Or am I wrong? :ermm:

Gstaff: What went wrong in the Big Ten during bowl games this year and what do you think of Michigan's new head coach? I don't think they can get any worse so next year might be good. I am a Michigan State fan so I thought this last year was pretty good except for the bowl game.

What's your favorite 'art of' or 'making of' book or video?

What's your favorite non-bethesda collector's edition (for a game)?

What kind of footwear do you use? Any boot enthusiasts? Any people walk around the office barefoot?

Do any of you frequent any game-art or design related forums or websites? If so, which?

If you were actually an elder scrolls character, but exactly as you are now, what stats/skills would be highest?

it shall be forever known as the "controversial mushroom of uber confusion" and it shall be hung in all the art galleries of the world to confuse everyone, just like when you look at the Mona Lisa and ask "is she happy or sad" you shall look at the mushroom and ask "is it a mushroom or is it a......"

time for my shock therapy :shocking:

I would like to second this question.

I would also like to say GO GREEN.

Has Todd Howard ever pitched an idea that you thought was really stupid or bad?
If he did then how did he react when you told him?

1.
What do you think of the Gothic series?

Those games are very similar to The Elder Scrolls.

2.
What is your favourite Elder Scrolls machinima?

Do you guys keep thinking about game development stuff while your at home, sketching, writing, dreaming :P


Actually yes, quite alot. Im always trying to think of ways to do new things even when it seems impossible.


pac or biggie?


Biggie for life :rock:

My favorite Art of book so far I would have to say is the God Of War 3 one. Its pretty awesome and as a character artist it has a wide variety of characters which I really thought were awesome. Plus it had boobies :woot: ...

I like flip flops, but I guess for boots I preffer Timberlans

I regularly visit CGSociety, Zbrush central and conceptart.org

I have to give some thought to your last question :)

Ive heard a couple of things here and there where I have been like, :ermm: but ultimately Todd really knows alot of stuff and he tends to make mostly good choices and have good ideas. He has a very good sense of whats cool and whats not or what will and will not work. Its pretty impressive actually.

I'd like to hear the funniest blooper encountered while testing AI, combat, ect. in a TES game development period.


I was in an area designated for viewing all the different creatures/characters and stuff like that. Everything in there is supposed be static, so there is a ton of things in there including items and what not. I was testing a sword and I hit a dragon by accident that is not supposed to even be active, well he got pissed off and laid waste to everything and killed me. So basically, I am pretty sure Im the only one in the studio who was killed in a simple area used to test art. :unsure:

If the testing areas are still in-game as they were in previous games, I'm totally founding the "Vsions' Dragon Angering Re-enactment Society".

I can see it now:
"The Static Dragon Design Gone Wild!!!"

But anyway, another question:
What Elder Scrolls race would you choose (don't worry, you're the way you are as a human on Earth)?
Inquiring minds want to know! :smile: :poke:

Are there any office pranks over at Bethesda?

If so, what was the funniest?

Also, what is your favorite game (or game series) you've ever played?

I noticed in the Blog update with best games you played in 2010 nobody lists Dragon Age. Nobody at the studio liked the game? :sadvaultboy:

What do you guys think to yourselves when reading the ridiculous amount of QQ posts concerning the little amount of information we know about Skyrim?

That's awesome! :lol:

How do you do the Blood Ties mission in Fallout 3 without getting slaughtered by Radscorpions?

Edit: What do you think of my fanart/psychic skills (the first picture was created before the announcement)?

Do you devs ever debate over the metaphysical significance or philosophy or lore behind some of the TES games when you are at the water cooler or when you are in the break room? Like if what the Tribunal did to Nerevar was correct? Was Tiber Septim good or evil (vis a vis Zurin Arctrus) etc.? Of course, we all know it is all from someone's imagination, but it is cool nevertheless...

Haha, first Hammerfell, then this, *bro-fist*

Edit: Or, uh... *Bro-ette fist* (I'm not trying to make a hitting-women joke, really, it's just the female equivalent of bro)

:) nice, I thought as much,

Whenever I work on something I like it tends to take over for a while, hehe good thing I studied art/graphic design so that I can discharge all the crazy creative energy before it implode my brain.

you guys are lucky to work in the gaming industry, casue where I live its impossible to do so, because... well it just does not exist.

I did apply for a job on your official site, you never know :disguise:

like Budah said:

"all that we are is a result of what we have thought."

and I think about games, and I have skills so... ;)
