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

I'll get found out at some point. For now I'm going to keep a low profile and lurk in game.

i meant the characters name, more than you personal ID/gamertag

but im guessing theres some clever pc add on which means you can search by character name....
aw shucks, come to xbox its more incognito there

That's very situational as a Mag Templar.

Bashev · July 2016

@ZOS_RichLambert what is your favorite skill in the game and why(best animation, very useful, etc)? What is your favorite passive?

Reverb · July 2016

Do you animation-cancel?

...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?
2. 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
3. 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

After months of silence from a lead developer to answer our most important questions, he finally responds, and you ask him those questions?...

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.

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

For a few minutes, it can be awesome.

Really. I would hate to have it for the whole game, but you know the one part where you get a huge, temporary power boost? Its great to get a chance to one shot enemies that have given you grief through the main quest. Outta my way, puny daedroth! Bye-bye wussy dark seducers! Oh yeah. Made up for all the fights I struggled in at the beginning.... For the whole game, no. I'd turn down the Platinum Diamond Uber Armor of Godhood and the Battleaxe of TOTAL CARNAGE. I want the chance to actually fight and win on my character's merits. For those few minutes though, oh yeah.

LadyHeloise · July 2016

@ZOS_RichLambert I would just like to say thanks for engaging with us in this way - there is soooo much negativity on these forums it's great to have a thread that is fun to read, and to know a bit more about you.

Shimmer · July 2016

@ZOS_RichLambert Punch or pie? Also, what are your feelings towards bacon?

The lead developer isn't going to answer "our most important questions". Even if he could, chances are very good he isn't allowed. Not to mention you then get the happy cheerful people, like above "When are you going to fix your busted game" chiming in. And the people who want justification for every single decision or change they made/will make/might make, down to the team planning meeting minutes and complete transcript of all office gossip. I've seen flat out clear statements get twisted into something they actually aren't, then the ranting about OMG TEH DEVS LIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! starts.

Fun questions that won't break an nda or cause a huge backlash because someone read what they wanted to see and not what was actually said, yes. "Our most important questions", no way.

SantieClaws · July 2016

Khajiit she has more of the questions yes.

Do any of the development daedra (this one understands you use the term devs amongst your own kind) walk in European Tamriel or do they prefer only to be in American Tamriel? This one understands the beer is different there.

Why does King Emeric have so many of the handkerchiefs and toys?

If you were stranded on the island where all the kittens and creepy children of the hairless ones are (they must be somewhere yes?) how would you escape?

Where did this one leave her lockpicks?

Yours with paws

Skyrim has a bit of an exploit there. Friend of mine did it all the time. Basically lets you make gear with godly stats (no god mode needed, just clever use of Alchemy and Enchanting lol)

I believe you are missing the point of this thread... This is player-to-player discussion, not player-to-dev. That said people let's keep our third world problems with the game out of this thread ok? Otherwise Rich may have to zing you some more

And there is the problem front and center. You would rather tell me to leave the game than to fix it, admit fault, or do anything to fix the many things people playing on Xbox have said are wrong with the game.

"You can leave if you don't like it" a lot of bullies say that. Just saying.

Do you participate in the player economy (selling, buying, etc.), or does your desire for a low profile mean that you pretty much have to be self-sufficient? If so, how do you do it if you're not in any guilds? Have you ever said WTS and WTB in zone chat?
Speaking of gold, how much do you have, and how big of a bite out of your purse did the repairs from your first vMA clear take?
Of the three roles--DPS, healer, and tank--which one do you play the most? Like the most? Most interested in mastering next?
Blueberries, Bananas, or Cherries?

bareheiny · July 2016

@ZOS_RichLambert, some questions I may have already had lying around....

1. If you were a Smurf, which one would you be (again, gender is irrelevant for the purposes of this question...so be Smurfette if you want to).

2. You are given access to a time-machine which will take you back to any point in your past. Advanced paradox-nullification technology means that you can talk to your past-self without the time-line imploding. What one peice of advice do you give yourself?

3. Should the Doozers revolt and take up arms against the Fraggles for the constant and undeserved destruction of their constructions?

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

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

isn't both dustman and potion basically ignoring your tos? it states you should never automate steps.
can we ignore the tos for addons there was the rumor that automatic gear changer and skill changer and addons like lazy writ maker can have you banned?

would very much like to hear a clarification thanks!

@N0TPLAYER2 Actually he's telling you to go away because this is a fun thread. I'm sure he'd love to give some development answers but he's probably not allowed to so this is how he decides to communicate with the community. He doesn't even have to do this.

All the complaints on this forum about things being broken. Yet no one questions the person in charge of THE ENTIRE GAME.

Take off your fan boy sun glasses and have the nerve to question someone who is in a position to change things instead of falling in line like the rest of them. It's just sad. How can no one ask him questions pertaining to the game being broken?? I'm not saying "fix the lag" I'm asking about specific game breaking problems on Xbox.

But carry on with the grade school questions. I'll see my way out since that's what they want.

Bromburak · July 2016

Just one reason why many Devs usually stay away from Forums.
Some people just can't differ between business and private matter.

Cryptical · July 2016

People question the devs all over the forums all the time with many threads. Doesn't in any way mean this thread or all threads have to. Also why would they want to give someone like you an answer? Ever heard of the magic word known as "please"? Ever heard of the golden rule "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"? Work on your netiquette kiddo before you start lecturing anyone, kthxbai.

if you look through the thread you will see people have asked about issues, and with my best charcater currently stuck in orsinium i am frustrated, but i am airing that frustration on the apropriate threads and enjoying this thread for what it is, 1 player (who happens to work for the game) talking with players, about the game we all clearly enjoy.

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.

Have you guys ever considered having a "Devs VS The World" sort of PVP event? I've always thought that it would be cool if the 7 or 8 devs gave themselves near god-like powers and took on the entire PVP community. Could be a good way to test out captureable cities!
