Why did you decide to change the sword level skill system? Also why did you make it where you are unable to kill certain quest givers? Please explain.

Don't you think that questions to developers should be posted at the official forums? Also, why ask questions when you already know the answers?

Saint's been trying to keep that project under wraps until Oblivion is launched. This thread will have to be deleted, sorry.

Too be fair, Codex does get visited by Mr. Smiley Face Dude, a beth employee, fairly often. Especially when there is a news post about Oblivion. But, the best place to get a developers personal reply, is no surprise: the developers message board. Duh! I'm sure their reason will have something to do with making the combat more satisfying, however.

Actually, Bethesda devs are the most frequent dev-visitors here.
Haven't seen anyone from Obsidian in ages... well, Fearus did post once lately, i guess.
Have MCA ever posted here?

MCA said we r teh h8rz. Then again, MCA can be a little bit of a girlie man. Plus he's going bald.

I don't agree with a lot of the design/production decisions in Oblivion, but MSFD seems fairly okay in my book. He needs to slip BUMPMAPPED NIPPLES in to the game, though.

Yeah but I always got a kick out of MCA's posts. It was always a fucking hoot back in the day to see how riled up Saint could get Feargie, MCA et al over on the ole BIS boards.

MSFD gets props in my book just for coming back here and moreover posting to VD's latest Oblivion rant.

And he's always so cheery, too. If I was in his place, I would be foaming at the mouth and posting pictures of the Vault Dweller surfing a tubgirl wave.

Heh! I don't suppose anyone kept any old screencaps or logs of it? : [

I think my favorite memory of that forum was when I insulted one of the BIS forum regulars, and Puuk thought I was insulting him. Then Puuk threatenned to never reply to me again if I kept insulting him. I pointing out I was insulting the nice man who insulted me, and I wasn't insulting him.. Then added, "But I don't care if you stop replying to me or this thread. You're not adding anything to the conversation anyway."

Good times.

I don't think you CAN rile up Feargus though. Feargus is like the proverbial duck's back. Maybe he hides it well in public and secretly beats up MCA in the back room to purge his anger.

I'm just waiting for the day when MSFD's had all can handle and can't take any more.. The day when he tears in to VD like David Gaider tears in to a buffet table. That'll be sweet.

Kathode used to pass by once in a while as well. Haven't seen him around lately.
I'm here at least 2-3 times a week. Just don't respond that much because I feel the discourse would be pretty predictable :)

I am pleased to see that apparently Vault Dweller is now posting on Elderscrolls.com forums. I seriously believe him to be secretly obsessed with our game :lol:
