Gavin Carter Discusses Elder Scrolls

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the verbose-developers dept.

Conspiracy_Of_Doves writes to tell us Brett Thomas over at Bit-Tech recently interviewed Elder Scrolls producer, Gavin Carter. From the article: "The size, scope and sheer graphical grunt required for Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion requires gigahertz of processing power to run, good bandwidth to update and expand, and gigabytes of hard disk space to store. Things that a console didn't really have...until now." The interview takes a look at the development with respect to the two different platforms, PC and Xbox 360.

    I shouldn't even reply to this, but I'm a woman and I'm looking forward to this game. Yes, I take the occasional shower every day.

    And for all of the dirty D&D geeks out there, I already have a boyfriend.

    "And for all of the dirty D&D geeks out there, I already have a boyfriend."

    Ah, but one must ask, are his D20s big enough for you?

    (And there goes my "always respectful" track record.)

    (Elder Scrolls) is for dirty D&D geeks that have no hope of ever talking to a woman - let alone touching one.
    That's just not true! One time I was at a strip club and a stripper fell down because she was wearing stilettos. Anyway, on the way down to the floor, the back of my hand brushed against her shoulder. So yeah, we touch girls ALL THE TIME!!!

    "If I comment on this, it might damage your ego."

    Possibly. But remember, it's not the size that counts... ... it's whether or not you can roll the crit hits.

    (Just digging my well of depravity even deeper, aren't I?)
