Seeing green-shirt-guy in the middle, I just have one question:

How long has Jesus of Galilee been a member of gamesas?

1. What is the funniest thing that's ever happened at the office?

2. Is it even possible that Skyrim will not be the best game ever made?

3. Do you ever see an idea from a fan on the forums and think "Hey, we could implement that!" and some months later it's in the game?

4. Is anyone in the office a fan of the movie Spirited Away?

5. If you could only take one game to a deserted island, what would it be and why?

Thanks!

Have any of you ever meet Gabe Newell, if so. Is that guy nice? And do you like his company, valve?

If you wern't designing video games, what would you be doing instead ?

Do you prefer Vikings or Romans?

What standard do you use when deciding whether something was a bad decision or not?

Do you use the player feedback most, to see what the consumers thought? Do you evaluate the game yourself by playing through it, and deciding what you do and don't like? Or do you simply compare the end product to what you actually had in mind and decide that too far from the goal is just not enough?

Also, when planning for the next iteration in the series, do you start with the things you wish you could have done better in the previous game or do you start planning from scratch, with a whole new set of goals? (Or both?)

You call him DOCTOR Howard, doll.

Ummm... negative. That would just dig up memories of "The Three Stooges".

If the Altmers are big into our Earthen classical music, then who/which kinds would be the most popular among them? I dunno, I've always had an impression that they'd generally prefer the "impressionists" like Debussy and Ravel. Or maybe others like Stravinsky, Messiaen, or the more "minimalist" dudes like Steve Reich and P?rt, and perhaps even freaking Schoenberg would rocks their socks off as well.

I'm bringing this thread back from the dead.
:gun: :rofl:

What is this thread anyway? Do the devs respond to it? Where do we go to find our answers?

» Tue Oct 05, 2010 4:32 am

You know what they say... if you love something, set it free...

That does it, I demand a video of you releasing your beard into the woods, then leaving the camera there to show it looking back wistfully before crawling slowly away and dissapearing between the trees.

Question.... what sort of general question types do devs like answering?

Question.... what sort of general question types do devs like answering?

Personally? One's that don't have anything to do with the game or our process. I don't like answering those because I'm not sure what is and isn't part of my NDA (nor do I want to give spoilers), and while I do like you guys, I value my job over being liked in the forum.

So feel free to fire away with dumb inane questions and I'll do my best to answer them sarcastically and with as much humor as possible :rock:

It's a thread for devs to answer questions. Yes, we do. Right here!

Of course, just because a question is asked does not necessarily mean it will be answered.
