I thought this thread was going to be about important game fixes but nope. This thread would had gotten locked by the tittle alone.

Calling someone out isn't ALWAYS for negative reasons

In a way this thread showed the human side of the lead game designer - and that he is really passionate about the game and plays it himself as well. I found it pretty interesting, that he was actually the guy who nagged Todd Howard over and over again about that TES should be an MMO - so this explains in a way, why he is lead game designer - it is due to his passion.

Vaults of Madness... it was the first dungeon I ever worked on. (I was the dungeon team lead waaaaayyyy back when)

The last boss of that Dungeon has the BEST spell among ANY boss I've seen so far, including the two new one on PTS. That freacking GLASSWORK!!! I always ask players to not do much DPS on that fight, so we can enjoy the two "special" phase. That boss need to be boosted in health, seriously, if no one say anything players bypass that splendid attacks and it's one of the best things the game has. Please, buff that boss! The world need MOAR shattering Glassworks!

Orsinium currently... though there's some internal stuff we're working on that is shaping up to replace that.

It's my favourite zone too! My boyfriend is Norvegien, and so I'm really fond of that kind of landscapes in real life too!
Hew'sBane is really good too, though, in a different style!

If I had to choose just one... probably the Drake of Blades.

It's a though question. There is many character that I've encountered and that I like. For example, I really enjoyed to choose my date in the Thieves Guild DLC. That was such a COOL idea. I choose Silver-Claw, as my character is a Khajiit, and Silver-Claw is really adorable (Love the voice actor. He also play Marad in WOW-Warlords). My boyfriend choose Quen.
But I think my BIG CRUSH, was King Kurog! I really felt so inspired by his dream. I belived in him! I reall had that feel of "I'm going to follow that king and die for him and his cause on the battlefield". I bet you guess how I felt as the story progress!!
And of course, Daren Gauthier!

...To ask you those questions you want us to ask So here's a few from me, @ZOS_RichLambert :

1. Have you ever just gone somewhere and helped some random lowbie out on your characters you play just for the hell of it?

Yep, all the time. I don't just lurk on the forums you know...

It's also tons of fun to run dungeons via LFG. I generally like to tell folks its my first time running a dungeon just to get them to explain mechanics to me. A large majority of the time the group is super welcoming and supportive which is awesome!

3. Do you only play on PC or do you play live on Consoles as well? Just wondering because it may blow console players' minds to think they may have played alongside you and not known it

I play on PC and Console, though PC gets the vast majority of my play time. (Side note Matt Firor is a console nut and spends the majority of his time playing there)
show previous quotes

5. As a player, not a dev, what is your most memorable moment in-game? If it's hard to peg one down you could name a few

Most memorable moments in-game:
Logging into ESO for the very first time on launch day. Seeing the huge crush of people running around the world was amazing.

(Spoiler) Finally being able to defeat Molag Bal. He was pretty tough at launch and pushing through that to defeat him was pretty satisftying.

Completing Veteran Maelstrom Arena on my live character for the first time.

People can actually run in the game? I'm astonished cause all I get are loading screens... -Ps4 user...

Eshelmen · July 2016

@ZOS_RichLambert You seem to know your sfuff with ESO. But can you ride your bike with no handlebars?

RoseVex · July 2016

Are the any plans to introduce vet versions of the other dungeons? Not like in WGT and ICP where it's the same story whether it's on vet or normal but continuations of the story from the normal version and new bosses/mechanics

What is your AvA rank?

I'm only 9... I tend to get really angry in PVP when I get owned as badly as I do. We do have a bunch of Rank 20+ devs though.

well, this might explain a few things.

@ZOS_RichLambert would you mind telling us what the pvp rank of the Wrobler is?

Furthermore, do you enjoy pvp in its current state? and are you playing pvp during prime time on the most populated campaign?

Phinix1 · July 2016

So many cool people working at this company.

Vaoh · July 2016

@ZOS_RichLambert
You had an absolutely awesome interview recently. Loved watching that!

Also, don't hesitate to push out a Veteran version of any of the "Normal-only" dungeons! I'm so excited for them I literally added their respective monster sets to my motif thread!

waterfairy · July 2016

@ZOS_RichLambert

Do you or any other devs gift yourselves items or is there any special dev only items like the Axe of Awesomeness that grants 1 million weapon damage?

It would be funny if the devs could wear the Akatosh armor from the main quest in Cyrodiil and roflstomp everyone.

Armitas · July 2016

What is your favorite monster set for PvP.

BomblePants · July 2016

Totally glued to this thread.... ☺️

I wish we could get that Akatosh armor as costume for a reward for finishing the main quest =(

Possibly the most enjoyable threads I've read on this site.

Personofsecrets · July 2016

Do you play MTG and, if so, would you like to have a game or two of playing Legacy format? I use Cockatrice.

1.if you could pick one dungeon to go back and do a vet story mode for of the ones that don't have one what would it be?

Probably Vaults of Madness. I love that enviornment and storyline.

2.do you have a current favorite armor set?

Currently? I'm wearing a crafted Julianos set that made myself. There's new sets in the works though that are pretty cool.

3.what sets does your main use?

Oops answered this above heh. (Julianos, with Engine guardian helm/shoulders, 2 Torags swords and a Maelstrom Resto staff)

4.whats your favorite dungeon helm/shoulder set?

Currently Engine Guardian. (Dwemer look is awesome!)

Flobots?

Phinix1 · July 2016

@ZOS_RichLambert - If you could add one new class to ESO, what would it be?

Also any plans to add new weapon types? It would be really cool to have a 1h + spell type like in other TES. Something with heavy CC and support capabilities built-in.

Thanks for chatting with us.

Ffastyl · July 2016

How about a favorite motif or mashup? Y'know, "Fashion Scrolls Online."

I personally prefer

Thieves Guild Helm
Akaviri Pauldrons
Breton Cuirass
Mercenary Girdle
Thieves Guild Gauntlets
Thieves Guild Greaves
Thieves Guild Sabatons

Gives a half-armor vibe fit for a war priest/paladin.

But perhaps we should turn the tables? What questions do you have for us?

There have been days where I wish I could. Our accounts on live are regular player accounts, we have no GM or Dev powers at all.

We also have very strict rules against doing that kind of stuff and if broken, you lose your job. No ifs, ands or buts.

Why would they want to do that - there is nothing more boring than being invincible.

Except for those first five minutes of being drunk on power and maniacal laughter.

Mickey_Ox · July 2016

@ZOS_RichLambert
Had you been creative director from the begining of developement what would you have done differently?? What would you have not added to the base game vs something you would have seen added?

bebynnag · July 2016

@ZOS_RichLambert

What is your main called?
& do you have any funny character names?

I just started an imperial StamPlar called Non Sum Medicus (Latin)

zerosingularity · July 2016

How about favorite addons. Or addons you would love to see as part of the base game.

You know, I'm sure I seen @Wrobel do this, he should definitely lose his job, no ifs or buts!

On a serious note, what's your favourite ultimate?

There are a ton of really great addons out there and I'm always trying out new ones to see what folks have come up with. A few of the addons I use currently off the top of my head:

Inventory Grid View
Dustman
Potion Maker
Research Assistant
