Meet the Devs #12

Post » Tue Oct 05, 2010 3:14 am

Holy monkey droppings Batman! The devs responded! (To MEE even, squeee)
Me of little faith, I hadn't guessed that would happen.


So here' are some new questions now that I am of a better understanding of this thread:

What's your personal favorite game? If it's not a TES game, which is your personal favorite TES?

I'd have to say mine is still M2:TW, and my favorite tes game is Morrowind. I'm not just looking through rosy glasses either, I still play both games regularly. I'm currently in the middle of the Morrowind MQ right now, actually (while I should be working - I bet you can relate). Shhh.

Also, if this doesn't breach your safety zone, do you guys like any TES mods? If so, what are your favorite things to mod?
Personally: I love mods that add new/better clothing and jewelry. I also like face and body mods. I'm about immersive visuals.

Edit:
Lastly, are gamesas devs allowed to make mods for the Beth games? I mean, I bet you guys could crank out some incredible mods if you did. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see that some of my favorite mods are actually made by TES developers!

did you guys use some kind of agile software methodology like scrum, xtreme programing, etc etc???

If Scrum then:

1. What did you do yesterday?
2. What will you do today?
3. Are there any impediments in your way?

I have five questions.

Three questions.

What is your name?

What is your quest?

How often do you try to look like your working, but actually just screw around in Skyrim?

Do you ever look at the mods people make and incorporate features from those mods into the next game? If so and if you are at liberty to say, which ones? (from Morrowind to Oblivion or Oblivion to Fallout 3)

If you were a pro wrestler, what would your entrance music sound like? What kind of persona would you have? Would you be a heel or a face? Or would you just put your heels in other peoples faces?

Edit: By the way ... Thunderjunk could be a pretty sweet wrestling name.

If you have an itch do you scratch it?

How long is a piece of string.

If you could mock someone for an entire day with no repercussions from any period of time who would it be?

whats it like working on games where you start and by the time your done turn around and have a whole world built not planet but modestly big landmass anyway, that and complex stories, beautiful scenery, countless easter eggs, etc? is it fun, challenging, but also rewarding?

Do you sorta wake up mid way through and say wonder what bugs I gotta fix today over and over but by the end just hope people will love it and be satisfied....well till they get dlc, mods or next game lol.

Typically between updates, restarts, loads etc. It's not too time consuming to leave a tab open and pop over to it for a few seconds while a kit reboots. :shrug:

Do you/Have you ever made an account on these forums that is not registered as a bethesda employee (basically a member like the rest of us) just to discuss some things on here with the "Adoring Fans" at the same time as scouting for ideas for whatever you're working on? and do you ever scout for ideas on these forums for what you're working on in a game? :foodndrink:

2. What did you eat today for lunch at Bethesda?
