Haha! It's "Protecting my Devotion!". I learnt how to play it on the piano! (Well, it was "Loss of me", but the song is more or less the same)

Your favorite games, of course beside Bethesda's?

Jeez, man, have you even seen those movies? You really shouldn't make pronouncements like this until you do; you're just embarrassing yourself.

I do not know if these questions can or will be answered but here goes.

How far out are future titles decided on?Is the next game in pen the one after that in pencil?The next title in pen at some point during development You get together and brainstorm?On 12.11.11 you all look at Todd and say"Now what"?

Is there any chance that one or more of the recently added game studios will be making games set in the ES universe?

Have any of you devs ever watched a cartoon called Mummies Alive? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3vhpk7DhZM

I know its asking for alot.. but.. can someone shoot me a PM or post who gets paid the most for Skyrim pre relase and post release. I dont expect an answer but it never hurts to try, right?

If your feeling generous a list of who gets paid the most, say top 5 or top 10 (from Developer and Publisher, interested in who gets the $$$ out of everyone involved).

Thanks!

Don't worry, I wont publish this information in a news article, I want it for knowledge. Oh and I dont want names, just titles/roles/affiliation with the game.

Is it true that, there is a place in a man's head where if you shoot it, his head will explode?

I probably asked this a hundred times already in these threads, but can Krish be in Skyrim?

Please?

Do you like gold, lots and lots of gold?

» Thu Jan 20, 2011 12:20 pm

Do you like adventure games? If so, have you played The Silver Lining? If so, how epic would you rate it?

Hey I was just wandering how you guys order the rankings on the forums. I noticed that the ranks are the same as in the Temple faction in Morrowind but how does one raise ranks? Is it just who has been around longest, who makes the most posts, who helps the people the most (using the construction set, for example), etc. And do you guy monitor us yourselves (your watching us...scum) or is it done by a site bot? Just a question I had on my mind for a while and wanted to ask.

Cheers.

It's based entirely on post number, I'm fairly sure one of the sticky threads mention it somewhere.

Favorite novel or author? (Perhaps one that has inspired you in your career or simply for entertainment?)

» Thu Jan 20, 2011 8:22 pm

If I go to your studio and walk in the front door will I be told told to go away or would you welcome me and has anyone done this.?

Haha, you definitely would not be welcome. Are you crazy?

Some forum members like you and I become mods ; devs read the forums. Bots ? Doubt it very much.

I'm pretty sure Freddo is some kind of bot. :user:

Hi Freddo! :cool:

11.11.11 may cause me much trouble with my relationship.My Girlfriend thinks I play the Elder Scrolls games way to much.Whenever you release a new game she thinks the hours I spend playing should be spent with her.Constant bickering is the norm for months after the release.The anger she feels towards your game is nothing compared to my wifes tho.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Addendum:Upon rereading my post your game may not be the major reason for my troubles.Carry on

Get a girlfriend that plays tes, problem solved.

I have a question, do Moderators get paid. And if not what perks do they get to compensate for their time? (I can't imagine having to moderate these forums in my free time without pay or compensation. Lots of work!)

» Fri Jan 21, 2011 2:12 am

Just how "nerdy" is the work environment at Bethesda? I know there's lots of modern developers with no fluff - people come in, they work, they leave. Do a lot of you do things like play DnD together or just otherwise spend a lot of time talking about games? The BGS team has a lot of quirky character - really, I'd love to hang out with you guys sometime. :foodndrink:

I have some questions:

1: Who DID come up with the Cliffracers?
2: Dragon Age or Mass Effect?
3: Gameplay and Freedom or Story and Characters?
4: HALO or Gears or War?
5: Fallout 3 or New Vegas?

» Fri Jan 21, 2011 12:11 am

Who came up with the idea for cliffracers? The Adoring Fan? Tell us what you know!

Seriously, who was it? :stare:

I know i read somewhere in one of these threads that Emil came up with the Adoring fan
