    At what lengths would you endure to work for Bethesda? Would you take a dramatic paycut? Would you be willing to move your family in order to work for a significant paycut? Even if you have no qualifications, would you be even willing to get donuts/sandwhiches for the staff (errand boy)? Maybe even work for free?

    What, if anything, would stop you from taking a job at Bethesda? And what would be you "ideal" job working for them?

    Your thoughts?

    I would quite happily sell my soul if it meant I got to make games of the same calibre as TES games. I would love to be a writer or level designer I think thats where I excell with all my roleplay days under my belt. Starting at the bottom is the way it works in this industry and I have no problems with that and I dont think I could get paid any less than i do at the min talk about working to live lol

    You need to get up the road man and give them  a tip off about us lot on here lol

    Do you not just feel like having a peaceful protest outside the office till they give in and employ you? lol I might be up for that if I lived so close lol

    I think I would be a great benefit to Bethesda.  I have over 3 decades experience creating adventures, quests, campaigns, and worlds (plus I've written a rulebook).  So the question for me would be - 'What lengths would they go to recruit me?'  

    My ideal job would be creating quest-lines/campaigns.  Either that or playtesting - Since I play multiple characters and play them differently (different skills, quests, and direction of travel), I would be able to find bugs/problems (I've found quite a few - who does this playtesting anyways - they miss a lot of stuff, from holes in the terrain to entire quest-lines being broken (eg Bard's College).

    Hmmmm, i'm pretty much doing my ideal job already, in fact ive possibly got the only job in the world that lets you stare at a ladies bottom without getting shouted at.

    That said i would happily give up my right ball to be a creative designer for Bethesda....
