A SKYRIM DOCUMENTARY | You’re Finally Awake: Nine Developers Recount the Making of Skyrim

In celebration of Skyrim’s 10th Anniversary, I’ve joined with nine of my former colleagues to reminisce about what what we worked on, how we worked on it, and what it was like to collaborate with each other on The Elder Scrolls V. It was so good to see them and catch up - I def got The Feels more than once putting this video together for you - and I hope you like it. 0:00 Intro 1:59 A Special Thank You 2:17 When I discovered the Elder Scrolls 7:00 What is a Programmer? 9:10 What makes Bethesda games so special? 11:09 What is a World Artist? 12:20 From the Lights of Blackreach… 13:17 …to the Icy Cobbles of Windhelm 14:52 What is a Character Artist? 16:00 What made Skyrim so Special? 17:32 How was the Werewolf Made? 19:28 Why is a Healthy Competition good for Developers? 21:56 What is an Animator? 23:40 The Development of Skyrim’s Quadrupeds 29:20 The Movement of Skyrim 30:51 An Ani
