It's so hard to pick just a few moments for me in the history of this series. I started at Bethesda right as Arena came out, and when I first played it I was thinking -- sweet -- this is a really nice dungeon-hack game. The game starts you in a dungeon where you spend your first few levels. And then I got out into the wilderness and I was like, "You have to be kidding me. I can go anywhere? Do anything? This. Rules." My first instinct was to run around killing everyone (something that I've noticed new players still doing to this day in any game). I came across a river, walked along it, found a boat, sailed it to a small island where I found a crypt, went in, killed skeletons, and found a great magic item. It was that single small experience that hooked me.

I had the pleasure of working on the CD version of Arena, and having to test all the way through the game, the "Passwall" spell became my best friend. I still don't know how anyone could have solved all those dungeon riddles without a hintbook.

In Daggerfall, the one thing I remember was this cutscene for when you could have sex with people you met. It eventually got axed and I still have the original art for it in a cabinet here. It was tastefully done of course.

One of the most fun things for us during Battlespire was to play multiplayer and just sit in the chat lobby before the game started. The chat lobby showed you the character faces of the other people while you chatted and any changes another player made to their face. One night we just sat there in the lobby playing "create the guy who looks most like David Hasslehoff".

Redguard was a lively project and our lead programmer loved to mess with me. I kept sending him bug reports for my scripts and he would build a new version of the game quickly that fixed them. One day he sent me a new build that seemed to work, but he had coded all the buildings to hop up-and-down after a few minutes. I called him back -- "very funny." He laughed and made a new build. This one worked fine and no hopping buildings -- but after 5 minutes they all started spinning around.

Another Redguard moment was before E3 1997. We were up all-night and starting to feel the effects of little sleep and had been listening to this Tom Jones CD to keep us alert. The next thing you know our lead artist had a 3D Tom Jones model and we threw him in the game. Our E3 demo ended with Cyrus in the palace and Tom Jones comes out belting "It's Not Unusual".

With Morrowind, there are two moments. One was E3 2001 when we first showed it off to a large number of people. It was fantastic to finally be able to show all our hard work and the reception to it was incredible. People stayed and watched the demo over and over, some up to two hours. The other is the community for Morrowind plug-ins and mods. To this day I'm still amazed at how it's grown and what kind of new life people have been able to breathe into the game. I'm so happy we released the Construction Set. Not everyone uses it by a long shot, but The Elder Scrolls experience would not be the same without it.
