Back in....1998, I think...or early 1999, when I was 12, I visited Bethesda Softworks (I live in DC) and watched them as they worked on an early, early build of Morrowind. At the time, I think they had only been working on it for a few months. All that you could do in the game was walk around, and there were no other characters.
I also remember seeing and getting to play a Japanese Dreamcast there, since they hadn't come out in the US yet, and the developers were debating whether they should develop for it (I believe they released a bowling game).
And the CEO showed us the basement, where they shrank-wrap the boxes (looking back, it seems weird that they packaged the games there. I doubt they still do), and the shrink-wrapper almost chopped his hand off, before giving us free copies of Redguard and XCar (I think) right out of a box.
My friend that I went with also shattered the glass table in their lobby while we were waiting.
