Do you like long walks by the beach?

How much money do you guys make?

1. For the mods: Have you ever accidently locked a topic? You were randomly clicking and you hit the "lock" button?
2. Have you ever intentionally left a topic open past the 200 post mark, because you didn't want to close it, for any reason?
3. Do the Devs have the power (on these forums) to lock topics, or is that just for the Mods?

Who in the office is easily wound up?

Simple question here...dont know if it was asked buuuut.

Out of all the games you have worked on, what is your favorite character/npc out of all of them?

If I had to pick , probably Sheogorath..love me some crazy Scots man.

I hope you never wanted to be my friend

Jenkins from Red Faction Guerrilla

What is one NPC you would like to see in every TES game?

I has a question.

After seeing the trailers and marvelling about how fabulous everything looked I thought to myself: This style seems familiar somehow.
So I dug through my collection of comics and graphic novels and found 'the mercenary' albums by Vincente Segrelles.
Skyrim artwork reminds me of his style, everything looks like oil painting quality.

My question is: has his artwork been of influence in the art of Skyrim?

I saw in the Bethblog, that escapistmagazine.com was hosting a March Mayhem: Developers' Showdown. (Cheers for being a #1 seed) :foodndrink:

Is anyone at the office setting up NCAA bracket pools or does not enough people care about college basketball (or sports in general)?

Are you enjoying the development of Skyrim.

Oh and I love you all very muchly =)

YOU MEAN NOTHING TO ME bliviongate:

Well Windows is much better! But still, since you are a part of the team that made my most favourite video game series, I'll still respect you


Awesome!
Scottish people are the best! (I wish I was Scottish =_=)

Do any of you like the site Deviant Art? If so what styles from users do you like?

Ong-Bak is the best martial arts movie I know. Sorry Bruce Lee.

Do any of you play Minecraft?

Have you ever considered sueing the creator for copying the damned oblivion gates? (joking ofcourse)

Notch is actually a big fan of the Elder Scrolls, at least going by his Twitter feed.

man bulletstorm is awesome! the witcher is awesome! Darkspore which i just got lucky enough to try through a 3 day closed beta is awesome and pretty addicting

Have any of you guys played League of Legends and did you like it?

Do you mod your Morrowind and Oblivion when you play them or do you play them vanilla?

Do you like cakes? :cake:

Do any of you guys know why yanni cut his hair and shaved his mustache?

It really bums me out

On a separate note, what goes through a programmers/developers/designers mind as they are making a game that they know has to be made with less in depth content and a small learning curve because the majority of gamers nowadays really dont want to play a game that makes them think or take time to get stuff done? Are there times when you get frustrated because you come up with great ideas that you know could easily be implemented and would make the game a richer experience but know it cant be thrown in because it would drive away business?

Also what are your opinions on full on nudity and realistic gore and brutality (including being able to kill children), if you had a say in it would it be an option, just for the sake of making a game realistic and deep, kinda like the elderscrolls games have tried to be since the start.

I mean i know such things cant be added because it will outrage parents and people everywhere for no real reason causing the game to get craptalked all over by the news and other form of media, and even though negative publicity can often give much better sales to something i dont think the company would want to be seen as such radical visionaries, but what do you the employees think about it?

Oh and the feeling of drinking a cool glass of water after drinking a glass of milk or eating cereal, you know when your mouth gets all coated in stuff then you drink the water and it feels like your mouth and taste buds have been refreshed to taste the world? good stuff

Do you guys (Bethesda) think that Skyrim will be like it's predecessors and win Game of the year?

Also do any of you play/like the Gears of war series? Im looking forward to Gears 3 almost as much as i am Skyrim.

cookie for all your hard work :cookie:

Like you, many of us are looking forward to Gears 3. There's tons of great games coming out this year -- Portal 2, Arkham City, Gear 3... just to name a few.

How many of you have been waiting for Duke Nukem Forever since before the turn of the century?

LA Noire... rumored Assassin's Creed entry... Rage...

Yeah, it's gonna be a good year.

Anyone on the staff play a musical instrument? Former band/orchestra geeks, or just play piano/guitar/something else on the side?

M'aiq Beats them all at running. :bolt:

Like any tool, it's as good as the user makes it and the software that's available. Though I personally prefer Macs, edit on one (and use them at home), I also have a PC in my office and use it for various tasks to which Windows is better suited. So I'm not religious about it.


Team ICO collection, The Last Guardian... what? I'm a Fumito Ueda fanboy, what can I say?


I played piano for 9 years in my younger days, and can still sit down and plink out a melody by ear pretty easily (though I'm not nearly as dextrous keyboard-wise as I used to be—just lack of practice). I also am self-taught on guitar since late high school, but not particularly adept. I enjoy playing basic stuff but definitely couldn't keep pace with someone who plays all the time.

I always wondered if LOTR influenced alot of the Elder Scrolls lore/races/architecture
because I always get that LOTR feel when Im playing these games?
