Thanks for your hard work and dedication guys, 5 years is nothing to sneeze at and Im sure you can feel the eyes of present and future players of the Series glaring at you with anticipation, just keep doing what you guys do best so I can line your pockets with money again :lmao: get plenty of rest no matter what you hear Good bad ugly, and lol worthy, everyone here means well more or less. and bring out the umbrellas release day because the Storm will be a doosy.

Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas? :dance:

Keep up the awesome work at bethesda! :tops: :goodjob: :thumbsup:

First off, I just wanted to say you guys do an awesome job. No RPG has touched me personally in the ways Morrowind and Oblivion have. This forum account may be new, but my appreciation runs many years into the past. With the release date looming you'll be entering crunch time soon, if you haven't already, and I know how stressful that can get. So I just want you to know that we appreciate what you're doing and what you've done, and despite all the criticisms and backseat forum "developers," we'll love the end result no matter what. You guys are among the best.

So now that's out of the way...

How are you liking the new season of Doctor Who?

Have any of you ever worked on a game that you did not like? You dragged yourself to work everyday, and couldn't wait to just release it and be done? Have you and your team ever had to decide on something, and you wanted one thing, but they went another direction? Has this ever happened, where you completed dispised the decision that was made?

You guys only have to be as specific as that which will allow you to keep your jobs/heads, etc.

Resistance or Security?

...5 more days! :drool:

Ok I have a question that I am really wondering about, what viewing device (like monitor TV etc) do you all use to play your PC games on? IPS TV or monitor, TN LCD/LED monitor, CRT, DLP, a projector etc. What do you guy's personally prefer?

Ok weird question game design is very structured and seemingly fixated on making every action ordered as possible.
I know this is due largely to the fact the less structure, the more things can go wrong and make a game bugged beyond playability.

My question is this:
Outside of little frivolties like easter eggs and jokes, how much effort in the industry that you have knowledge of.
Has been looked at thinking off kilter and removing structure in games.
Just it seems no matter how large a game gets the patterns behind it show through, even that the larger it is the more likely you are to see them reoccur.

A questions for Vsions (repost from the old thread because it was locked shortly after posting it)

In the interview I read you worked on Dragon Age: Origins, which I loved so you get massive bonus points for that. What was your job there? Were you a character artists there as well? If I hear that you were responsible for the Alistair's awesomeness (one of the best video game characters ever IMO) then... then... I will give you my first virtual unborn! (I'm joking, I'm not that creepy )

How popular is DnD at the office? Do you guys ever get together and make Tamriel-themed campaigns?

Did you forget about Mother's Day?

Who was the genius that coined the term "You n'wah?". You are allowed to brag.

Why cant Bethesda give their developers a little slack to say meaningful things about Skyrim or the game Lore on this thread?

I don't want to ask what they ate this morning...

I want to know if they think ahead to future games when writing the lore. Is there a greater overall plan for the franchise or are they taking it game by game.

I want to know why they chose Skyrim?


The devs dont have to give us spoilers, but at least something meaningful about the game we are all interested in



@Todd Howard

The quality of the interaction on this thread could be better Todd...if you are reading this, cut the guys some slack please

Happy Mothers Day to Thunderjunk and all your dwarf babies.

Do any of you particularly enjoy horror games? If so what is your favorite?

This is toward Thunderjunk, So i am at a community college studying architecture, but once i get a job and i dont like the field i have a backup plan.
I was thinking about going into game programing/Software/etc. since i love my 360 and PC, and to the point.
Since i would have graduated from Kirkwood i would rather go to a 4 year university.
So which college or 4 year University did you go to before you got hired by bethesda?

I have to say The Elder Scrolls has to be in my top 5 favorite games and it has influenced and inspired my creativity and how I think of games and their mechanics. I think I have at least 2000 times saved in Oblivion.

Although I was wondering if there any loyal Firefly fans at Bethesda?

Long live the brown coats!!!



One more thing just for the heck of it...team Edward or team Jacob? :tongue:

Umm...

What did you eat this morning? :flamethrower:

I am feeling lazy at the moment, would you consider a bowl of cereal a good choice for dinner?

Could I second this? :shifty:

What is a game that you are currently playing? If you don't have time to play any games, then what is the last game you played?

Ok catching up from #15





I studied EE and Math (and film minor) at Southern Methodist University
I also got my Masters at the Guildhall at SMU



This is a half answer, but I'm a big fan of the Dresden Files (urban fantasy, but there it is). I'd love to do a game in that setting

To any dev who has worked on more than one elderscrolls/ bethesda game.

Do you feel like you have more creative freedom when working on Skyrim or are you more confined?

Fallout 3



Absolutely amazing
"Welcome to America..."



Started to, so I quit that company and came here



Probably much more popular when we're not working so hard. Also, I tend to spend my free time on things far removed from what I'm working on



Oh, sh*t...



Because building up suspense and buzz is part of the game. If we told you everything that was going to be in it, you would start building up your own personal expectations that we could never meet (because a game/move/tv show will always be best in your head). Trust me, I've worked on games where they build up nothing and give everything away before the game comes out and it's not as good. Think about your favorite xmas present. I'm pretty sure you didn't see it coming.



Thanks, but I don't have any kids that I know of



NO

Been playing a bunch of old games recently
Mercs 2 and Overlord
