Well the only logical question after that is, Horde? Or filthy Alliance dog?! :batman:

Edit* just realized with the addition of the Worgen you could literally be a filthy Alliance dog

Any of you devs play DnD? if so whats your favorite class and race

my favorite classes would have to be Bards and warlocks, my favorite races are Minotaurs, shardminds and half-elves

Who's your favourite painter?

Cats or Dogs?

What games (MMOs included) are you looking forward to in 2011?

I'd like to second this question as I too play D&D. My first character was a Bard, and I got made fun of At least until my stupid party realized just how much my bonuses helped out! My favorite race is a tie between Orcs and Drow. I'm also quite fond of the Illithids. From that you should be able to tell we play evil or neutral campaigns mostly

What is your favorite book or the last book you read? Favorite author?

I love Nathaniel Hawthorne, George Orwell, Stephen King, and many others... Animal Farm is my fave book.

I didn't like that much. For allegory and a good read I prefer Lord of the Flies.

Do any of you check out mods on Tesnexus or Fallout3nexus/newvegasnexus and wonder if they should be implemented in upcoming games? I know the Weapons mod Kit and other things you have,
Also I read that a person who had cancer on Tesnexus forums said he asked Give Kids the World to see your team at BGS in the upcoming months, My brother had his wished fulfilled to go to Universal Studios I really like the organization. Hopefully you guys will put his name in one of your teams upcoming games for an npc.

It was my first omg moment in a book, I read it in fourth grade and idk I just loved it.

which weather do you like better? a thunderstorm at night or a hot sunny day?

i personally like thunderstorms at night more :yes:

First and foremost thank you for making Skyrim i've been waiting for the next TES game for quite a while.

I don't know if this is the sort of thing you guys can/will answer but i gotta ask. How do you guys keep track of The Elder Scrolls lore? I'm talking about places, events, people and all that stuff. Given how large the series has gotten i'd imagine it'd be quite a chore to keep track of it all. I've seen some interviews on the Blizzard teams and they actually have historians for their game universes. So if someone had questions on say the Diablo universe they could speak to the historian and learn some of the lore. So, how does it work for you guys?

Are any of the Devs big sports fans? If so, what team(s)?

I wonder how they changed mages! its been almost 2 years since I last played wow, thinking about getting back ...

anyway I will repeat my evil question, does Bethesda plan on using Blue-ray discs in the future ??

I know I svck at tech stuff but I heard that a blue ray disc can hold like 20gb or something on it which will enable you guys to make super huge game worlds.

Did you have to move when you got hired at Bethesda?

If so, do you ever miss where you used to live, or are you happy where you are now?

Do any of you appreciate the work of J.S. Bach?

Just finished up a 4E campaign where I was a Shifter Druid. The rest of my party kept accusing me of being a Khajiit. I was not -- I was just a cat-man.


There are games coming out that aren't Skyrim?


Much like at those other places, our lore guys don't just do lore stuff full time. (i.e. when you hear about a historian at Blizzard, it's almost certainly not the guy's full-time job -- he's just the authority on that in addition to his other duties.) We have a pretty extensive wiki of the TES lore, and a timeline doc that we can reference, in addition to a couple folks who always know the answers to obscure historical questions. Or make them up.


Lot of Steelers fans around here. I'm a Jaguars fan myself.


I moved from Los Angeles. I wasn't a big fan of the city itself, but there are a lot of people there that I miss. And the superb movie theatres. And the karaoke bars. And the Mexican food.... oh lord, the Mexican food. Nobody up here does burritos quite the same way.

I definitely like being around DC -- I have a lot of family in the area, and went to school in Virginia so a lot of my college friends are up here now.

This could be MY answer! I lived in LA for a year and a half and loved the food and weather but hated the city. When the opportunity came up to come make trailers for gamesas I jumped at it. Moving here was actually moving home, as I grew up in the DC area. Like SJML, my family and college friends are in the area too, so it’s nice.

Pirates or Ninjas?

Where did you live in LA, dude? I was in Venice, working in Marina del Rey.

(The thread has now become "Devs, meet each other.")

Whats your favorite cheeses?

Is my wifes mother a Cylon?

Fire, Frost, or Shock?

I like shock.

Hey guys, one question, whats the best weapon for huntig mammoths? dagger, bows or SPEARS????

It's alright, you're amongst friends here. Go on, let that anger out.
