Bethesda Isn't Your Ex
Off the back of my lovely chat with Bruce Nesmith, Lead Designer on Skyrim and a veteran of Bethesda's Elder Scrolls games, Fallout 3, Fallout 4 and Starfield, I wanted to talk a little about the range of responses I've had to that interview. I read every comment on my videos, but I was surprised by just how much negativity surrounded what I felt was a really interesting, in-depth discussion with someone who helped create one of the world's most successful games, Skyrim. This video is just a light-hearted response to some of those comments, along with a few observations about the way we talk about Bethesda and its games. #theelderscrolls #elderscrolls #bethesda #fallout3 #starfield #rpg
