Meet the Devs #11 : V - Skyrim

» Thu Jul 22, 2010 1:45 am

Scenario time:
It's 2 weeks before the release of Skyrim, Todd happily gave each employee at the office a complete copy of the game but made you swear an oath of secrecy that you won't let ANYONE know about what is all in the game. As you are walking out of the office at night, a man who loves Skyrim and would willing tell the world all about the introduction and parts of the game if he had it puts a gun to your head and demands you to hand him the game or he'll pull the trigger.

What do you do?

I would turn to him, hold the game in front of him and open it. At which point pure epic would shoot into his eyeballs and consume his innards leaving nothing but ash which we would then use to expand our building.... wouldnt be the first time, its a big building :chaos:

1. What if the world was made of glazed donuts?
2. What if your hands were made of hot-pockets?
3. Where do the squirrels go during hurricanes?
4. Something more original.... Are the mountains in Skyrim really the rim of the sky, or is the name just a misleading thing. Could they be compared to the Himalayas? (In lore, not the actual game, that might be hard to make)

What kinda craftly worded question would it take to make you all slip on massive details?

If any of you have an Xbox 360 gamertag would you be so nice (and brave) as to post it? If your to afraid to hit me up with a friend request MSgt Taco.

Now for the question for the Bethesda Employees out their with children, I was wondering if anyone of you guys who had young children who you got to play the games you work on.

(sorry if that was a dumb question i've ran out of ideas)

Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk," in its entirety, with the pauses as Lindsay Buckingham intended.

ZOMG, one of my questions was answered! :bonk:

Do you like answering peoples questions.

Have you ever made love in the workplace, if so was the bosses desk involved.

Spoiler

I bet the first thing you thought after the second question was no I don't like answering questions like that.

1. In games like Mass Effect or KOTOR, do you guys usually play as a good or evil personna?

2. Where do you get your inspiration for names? I always find it hard to name my characters...
There must be soooo many names to find

Is there going to be any samurai inspired armor/weapons?
I absolutely love katanas in my RPGs

With Skyrim's announcement on Saturday, we're excited to open up our latest Bethesda Game Studios' Meet The Devs thread. This thread is your opportunity to get to know the developers working on Skyrim. Should be fun as you'll run into some familiar friends, as well as plenty of new folks to the team.

Please keep in mind this thread is NOT for asking questions to the developers related to Skyrim. There will be a time to ask questions, but not yet, and not in this series of threads. Our amazing forum moderators will keep an eye on posts that aren't in line with the theme of the thread.

What was your personal game of the year for 2010? (Mine was Red Dead Redemption.)

Why did you change the dunmer voice acting in Oblivion? And why did you change Cyrodil from jungle to forest? Also what was your personal opinion on both these changes?

» Wed Jul 21, 2010 6:30 pm

Yey, questions

Which game - Magicka or The Ball?

Also have you ever used the black hole spell to kill most of your team on Magicka?

A few questions on your NDA's

1) will you folks ever be able to comment on your own? If yes, is there a target date, how far down the road is it?

2) or does/will everything need to be filtered through PR/media?

Grazzi,
Rumbly

Did any of you play Planescape: Torment and what did you think of it?

P.S. If you didn't, play it. It's a classic and literally the best rpg ever

What was your first thought when you watched that tribute cartoon about your trailer for skyrim? Have you guys even seen the cartoon?

so i take it you guys use max at work. but say you preferred to model in something else at home, like modo or something. are you allowed to buy a license and install it at work? or do you have to use the office standard?

1. What does Todd really do? I'm not entirely sure

Does he come with ideas? Or organize the work being done? Does he work with anything in the game (like level designing, testing, coding, etc)?

2. If you could describe what Skyrim is for you in two words, what would those two words be?

3. What are you working on right now? (I understand that you can't say anything concrete about the game, so ... say some abstract? :biggrin:)

Katy Perry or Jessica Beil?

Both at the same time.

Is the fork of horripilation a tuning fork or
a silverware fork?

It looks like a steak fork.
