I love how people complain on how in skyrim you just show up do some stuff and become the head master but thats literally what todd howard did at bethesda game studios
XD Ya, it really does seem like he did that.
His story mirrors the Winterhold College questline....
Makes me wonder if I would be so lucky as to walk in and say "Hey I would like to work here."
If BGS is The Minutemen then Todd is the Sole Survivor
@@nukesrus2663 and who is preston garvey?
To the guy who keeps trying to push arenas in every city: Please, never stop pushing for that.
we appreciate ur hustle: keep on doing it.
I mean, an arena in every city? ehh, maybe just one or two bigger cities
Ofcourse a guard from Whiterun is going to say something like "don't add arenas in every city".
Only the cities paying your wages, huh?
agreed. i really loved just sitting there and betting for the winner. I really missed that in Skyrim.
What about a unique aspect to every city like Skyrim, Windhelm was mostly missing that aspect because the only thing was the head of the stormcloaks, no factions. If it had an arena it would be good, not every city.
18:45 "We let you break your save in Morrowind." Back in the cool days essential quest NPCs could die. Now every important NPC is invincible for some reason.
i miss talking everything out or being so idiotic NPCs just let me scoot away
does anyone else just talking a problem out and not having to put a slug between every enemy's eyes?
@Raven Burns would've made the game better tho
That would be a very interesting game indeed. Arcanum comes to mind. Would be very nice to see that and also to see the peaceful option expanded from being a simple speech check to something more adventurous.
Btw game maker's toolkit made a video on that. m.ua-cam.com/video/l9TzqNQBmr0/v-deo.html
Sees the world of Morrowind: *feelings of nostalgia, tranquility and true happiness take over*

If Starfield ever gets released, they should put a floating bear carcass in space to reference Skyrim's glitchy giants.
Matilda Wolf yaaaaasssss that would be sick
They should add s e t t l e m e n t b u i l d i n g
Jk i'm sorry
Have it eating a Sweet roll and an arrow in the knee too.
sol accordant, Instead of settlements, it'll be entire planets, and they'll all need your help
That would be hilarious!
The engine...the engine never changes.
It gets modified heavily and upgraded with each iteration of a given title that uses it. It's always a different engine with common core. When building cars you are not going to go from bottom and build screws or whatever, you use what you already developed and refine it with time
Future predictor congrats
@@bithon5242 Sure mate.. that's why every time they release a PC game they have to go back and add FOV sliders, 21:9 support and decouple physics from FPS. They don't learn their lessons and keep reusing the same engine. BenJoe is right, the engine never changes.
In this documentary you should have learnt that we put a lot of effort and passion into our games. Please, consider giving us a second try and delete this savage comment.
It's why Fallout 4 had bugs from Morrowind
The engine never changes
I respect Todd. He propelled the small company to one of the best in the gaming industry. Now we move on to Starfield, what a journey.
I’ve never been so excited for a game! Enjoy your starfield journey friend 🤓🤝🫡
as a fan since my preteens, i'm so nervous about starfield. i want it to do well; bethesda has a mixed reputation these days amongst many gamers, far more than back in 2011 or 2015; but i truly think its because of how hard they leaned on skyrim specifically for the elder scrolls as well as fallout over the past decade.
which is why i really think starfield is a make or break moment for the reality of bethesda's reputation. if everything, literally everything, from this doc and the years of interviews is true, then starfield is the passion project of one of the most tenured dev studios in the western rpg industry, who have likely been training a generation of eager and bright new devs who grew up on stuff like fallout 3 or skyrim.
i'm in my early 20s and i've learned to stop being hyped, to never pre order, yadda yadda yadda all the dignified crap... but deep, deep down, i really want it to not just do good, but *be* good. because no nitpicking of todd's quotes or uneducated debate about game engines could ever stand up to "but they made skyrim in space".
@AlexRed95 Don't worry bud. They got this. Tested and retested. Delayed and more delays. Xbox and Microsoft have just as much vested interest in its success as Bethesda. They have a banger, and both of the companies know it.
Nope, still on Oblivion and haven't touched fallout 4.
Starfield. Yay! Exploring on foot lol
Bethesda is my favorite studio. When i watch these documentaries and hear Todd and others talk about something with passion, i feel like i'm listening to my good friends whom i've known most of my life. Even though i never actually met any of them personally haha. I can't wait to play Starfield! It's going to be their best game yet!
I’m in my mid 50’s and have played video games since the age of four when my mum and dad first took me to an arcade at the seaside one holiday where i became hooked and I’ve loved games of every type since..Bethesda shot straight to the top of my favourite developers list from the first five minutes of Fallout 3 and they’ve never let me down up to this point and that includes Starfield as it’s absolutely freaking epic
Saying startfield will be their best game yet just goes to show what you love about bethesda studios. 😂😂
I didn't want to replay Oblivion.
Then the Oblivion music kicked in.
I kinda wanna replay Oblivion.
Makes me tear up
For me it was the Morrowind intro... a couple notes that bring back hundreds of hours spent in Vvardenfell. Amazing documentary!
If you play on PC wait for Skyblivion to fully release!
I just finished MorrowBlivion and it was awesome playing Morrowind with the Oblivion game engine!
HomicidalDonut I only played Skyrim and Fallout 4- now I want to play EVERYTHING.
witchcraft
Absolutely amazing doc and even more amazing to hear at 55:00 how the developers we look up to actually appreciate our work done on our projects to recreate Oblivion and Morrowind.
Nothing more motivating than that
!!!!!!!
I can't wait to play Skyblivion and Skywind, whenever they're ready to come out!
I was hoping you were here to hear that. Probably my favorite part of this whole documentary
Really looking forward to Skyblivion! Love your work
Agreed. Super awesome!
I was going through a really rough time when Morrowind came out it helped me escape for a few hours from my troubles its really special to me
Rex Holes - i feel that with Fallout 3
What happened?
@@RawkL0bster cliff racers
@@grandduchyofwales 🤣👏👏
Same just with Fallout Nv!
Something that has not being acknowledge is that something really important, for me the most important, in the TES series is the music. That Jeremy Soule work is amazing and its going to last forever.
@@nicholasderk innocent until proven guilty.
@@nicholasderk What are you even talking about!? Sick fuck
@@balloonfiesta15 I agree that the "liar until accusations proven" attitude is horrible and needs to stop. An accusation alone can be _credible_ but that doesn't mean we should "believe the victims" because credibility's not enough to act on an accusation without evidence. I believe the actual bar at which action should be taken depends on the severity of the consequences: criminal punishment has "beyond reasonable doubt" standard while civil charges have only "more likely than not" (as should business and social repercussions, I believe).
The unfortunate reality is that most sexual accusations are going to fall into the possible but not enough to act range. Quite simply, anyone who's not capable of handling that uncertainty in their mind (and I'm not aiming that at you) does not deserve to have an opinion on these issues.
Well he made music for 3 of their games, he is not that important to them.
Juan Basagoiti I cannot agree with you more. Without the music I don’t know if Skyrim would have been as big of a deal for me as it was
I know Skyrim has turned into a bit of a meme lately, but this video made it feel special again. Nice work!
TheBloodyBaron Skyrim will forever remain one of my favorite gaming experiences! So many great moments i can remember from my over 500 hours living in Tamriel...
TheBloodyBaron yup , skyrim was and still is one of my favorite games ever
Hmm you just gave me an idea, how about skyrim running on walls? this way everyone will be able to play it
ThexXxXxOLOxXxXx so like... Microsoft Holo Lens?
I hope no one from bethesda's marketing division is reading the comments..
"there are so many different types of snow"
Hello. Canadian here. This is true.
Hard snow, soft snow, heavy snow, light snow, thicc snow, fluffy snow, hurtling at 50mph towards you snow, oh my God I'm drowning in snow snow, the list really goes on.
Bestest Kitty THE SNOW IS TURNING THE MOOSES GAY
This is so well made and really easy to watch. It gives you at least some idea of all the work and passion that goes into each game.
If only some more work went into bugfixing :p
Eh
@@disrupt94 They actually put some effort on bugfixing with Fallout 76 :P
Exactly. It makes me sad that some people criticise what we do daily and how much passion and effort we put in our work. Fallout 76 was our big project, but was unfortunately misunderstood by everyone.
Todd Howard 16 times the detail, 2% of the content. F76 is still not fit for release and was never worth 60$. In the entertainment business you live or die by your results, not the effort. #savesingleplayer Todd.
Bethesda to me despite all their mistakes and missteps they have this passion and drive to make a great game
🤡🤡🤡😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡
I just wish they could do it a little faster :(
@@gravity00x XD
@@gravity00x fatherless
@@gravity00x 💩
Todd is such a delight. He is a nerd through and through - in the best way possible. Bethesda made a very smart move making him such an integral part of their game-making process.
And Danny is a f-king awesome interviewer. Good job breaking away from the system and forging a path of your own!
Danny writes great narration dialogue. :D
16 times the lies
My favorite part is him recalling his then-GF buying him a Bethesda hockey game. Same girl goes on to marry him. Now, it's 25 years later...
Wholesome.
So we're just making movies at this point? Cool. I'm okay with this.
YEA THIS ONE ENDED UP LONGER THAN WE EXPECTEEEEED
Noclip - no worries, it was well worth my time to see into the windows of this studio 👌
**Xbox watches this**
Xbox: *Interesting....*
😂
Then bought the fucking parent zenimax
Todd Howard is the man. One of the few heads of games development that has his heart in the right place. Obviously he's there to make money, but he does so by trying to create truly great games first and foremost which is rare in the gaming industry when there are so many easier ways to make money these days
I like Todd and he has seemed like he has held onto the love of the company that was there when he started. For how long? Who knows but for now it's been good and the money has yet to put his balls in a vice. The loremaster of elder scrolls has his shit DOWN i dont need to worry there, now fallout on the other side of things has changed hands many times and utilizing Todd as the loremaster is definitely a worrying thing for fallout 5 as a true fallout fan.. some of the lore that went into 76 almost completely derailed the series.. if it were me I'd be signing tim cain on a sweet pot contract for at least some final imput.. especially when they think about inventing and implementing their own creatures to the series.. 🤦♂️
As much as Bethesda does get crap, gotta admit countless memories have been made from their games
Love em, hate em. They always bring something to discuss
Haters gonna hate. They wouldn't be one of the biggest in the biz, if their games sucked.
chakko007 yeah. Sure they have bugs and such but usually they are more fun then bothersome. Usually but agreed. They’ve made it this far for a reason
you could say the same about EA, does not make them good though
I've been playing Bethesda games for close to 15 years now, they've been some of the best games I've played and just enjoyed them the most.
Александр Потоцкий EA became big when they were good though. They suck not but it's not their current stuff that made them big.
This music. Do you want me to install Oblivion again? Because this is how you get me to install Oblivion again!
5chr4pn3ll
Why'd you uninstall it in the first place? Lol.
Have u heard of the high elves
lol this was hard to make it through the whole documentary without going and reinstalling some of the games.
Can't wait to experience the outcome of this unique team with the Starfield release. Love Bethesda!
Just a check in on how you’re feeling about starfield now lol
@@noble5856 even better im sure
Sadly xbox exclusive so f that Bethesda
@@cubethepixel3025 At least it is releasing on pc and i don’t understand why you would even play a bethesda game on console when 80% of the fun comes from mods.
@@Snow.2040 90% of the mods on nexus are ported for Skyrim and Fallout 4 and Howard already confirmed mods will be available on Xbox.
These guys make my favorite games of all time.
So pumped for Star Field
The Direct was so well done, I'm so hyped
@@samp.4380 it really was though. I really don’t think it will let us down man
Starfield looks even better than I could've imagined
Same
Tag urself I'm the guy who walks in at 20:00 and grabs his thermos then just walks off
made me giggle a little bit
Minotaur So you work for Bethesda?
Oh shit, you done messed up.. prepare for questions. :D
now tell us about fallout 76
Stop you violated the law!
I like how this documentary humanizes Bethesda. I think too many times, from what I’ve observed, fans often dehumanize the game developers to the point where the things they say are just down right horrible, disgusting, and cruel. We need to realize that these developers are people too and they make decisions and mistakes like us. They are people too.
Except EA, they’re the devil.
EA=BAD
Stephen Ingersoll One of the biggest strengths of what Noclip does. Shows the (fairly/somewhat understandably, as it's still an industry mostly shrouded in mystery) ignorant masses what actually goes into making video games. Always, there are compromises.
And Konami... Fuck, Konami.
Definitely agree, but its a real shame that when companies get too big they become so disconnected with their consumers that they start to lose what made their product unique and great in the first place, and I think as a community we should learn to vote with our money to better appreciate and encourage really great content, and I do think some companies are starting to take notice.
Bethesda is one of the only few game studios that actually listens to the gamers instead of the money.
32:13 hints at Starfield
its sad to revisit this documentary after the release of 76... oh well all is not lost... hope they gather themselves; for all we know and love!
I'm definitely not ready to write them off yet.
@@Aster_Risk I think I honestly am fully ready. Still using the same dated engine from two decades ago with bandages, duct tape, and a constant IV solution consisting of modder's goodwill are the only thing that make their current games playable. Soon as I heard Starfield a brand new IP (the best opportunity to start on something new and fresh) still uses this engine, it clicked in my head that I need to be spending my money and support to other studios doing better work. I can respect the loyalty over the years some people still have, but they've shattered mine and many other's entirely as well as done irreparable damage to themselves, their IP, and our goodwill.
@@maesterx4d Do think they have full control over everything they do? Zenimax probably wont let them make a new engine because why change something if it still makes money.
@@maesterx4d their current engine is as different from the morrowind engine as unreal 2 is from unreal 4. the only thing that's been held over are a few coding solutions. animation, rendering, ai have all changed fundamentally. morrowind plays nothing like fallout 76. it doesn't have any physics, it can't support mid-range draw distance, it has insane polygon limitations. their current engine holds over a lot of bugs, but so does unreal 4. it's not the engine that makes their games shitty - they can replace any parts of it at any time. it's their design philosophy
I feel they know what they get into when they release buggy messes or keep the old engine. They can make it work on the creation engine, but it will cost much effort. And we will probably see old bugs again
As a game developer I thank you for showing the human side behind all these games. It's so easy to look at things at surface value and hurl insults and negativity towards developers but there really is so much that goes into making a game that people just don't see. Bethesda isn't some faceless entity, it's a collection of real people trying their best to make games.
You've earned your rest, Mr. O'Dwyer!
Bethesda shipped me a hand made cdrom patch from Canada to the UK to make Daggerfall work on Windows 95, lifelong customer here
This made me appreciate Bethesda even more than I already did. Thanks for making this documentary!
I'm a lot less scared for Fallout 76 now after seeing the dedication and love the devs have for their games and IP's.
It will be ESO in an apocalypse though. Bethesda make single-player games you can disappear into but you can't disappear into an MMO. You would think having real people in a game would deepen the immersion but it rarely does, it just takes it out of it as soon as you enter a lobby where every is spamming WTB and WTS at each other and there are naked players running around screaming "HaXor nub!" at one another.
The apocalypse will likely have stupid people in it but it won't have whiney, millenial gimps who use single-letter words and speak in all caps because they would have been murdered within the first hours of the apocalypse. I wouldn't expect to find them alive after WW3 so I shouldn't expect to find any in Fallout 76/Fallout Online either.
Yeah, but sometimes corporate forces their hand
RoMaRo Fallout 3, Skyrim, Fallout 4 (you purposely forgot ever other TES title to fit your argument of course) were great games.
Goodbye next hour and a half, your original plans have been overwritten.
JayborinoPlays Make sure you invalidate older files
"They could put resources into hiring a quality assurance department."
That clearly didn't last long.
Yes!
Yeah that costs money and doesn’t help make marketing videos so it makes no sense to vulture investors why any money should be out there
It always bugs me how one bad game can completely ruin a company in some people's eyes. Yes, fallout 76 sucked balls. Doesn't mean bethesda sucks in my eyes, they have made some of my favorite games of all time like oblivion, fallout 3 and skyrim. I believe they can bounce back and give us great games in the future. That's my hope 🙂
True. People also forget FO 76 wasn't even made by the main BGS team rather it was developed by BGS Austin
@@GhostShadow860 people don't look much into stuff like this and just believe those youtubers who say that all Bethesda games are bad or something
Problem is, some people also associate games made by studios owned by Bethesda as BGS games, especially the mediocre ones like Rage 2 and Wolfenstein Youngblood. Hopefully by the time Starfield launches, BGS will be as well regarded as it was when Skyrim first launched.
@@GhostShadow860 It was Bethesda that was the face of it. Todd Howard himself gave the presentation making the big promises. That carries responsibility and accountability. If I set you up on a date and the person I set you up with tazed you and ran off with your wallet and car, I owe you an apology. That being said, Starfield is a chance at redemption. I think it will be good too because its in their comfort zone. A single player open world RPG. That's what they do best.
76 was a failer on all accounts but what made it worse was everything that came after with microtransactions, loot boxes, the DLC, the engine, the real-life merch you could own/buy everything revolving 76 was a failer. Bethesda deserved the flack they gained... whoops just saw your comment is 9 months old oh well.
A mistake at 01:05:57, Danny says Fallout 4 but meant Fallout 3. Pre-order cancelled, 7/10, Too much water.
RadActiveLobster - IGN
Is *7/10, too much Water* still a fucking meme?!?
Sometimes i just Love and hate the internet at same time
My favorite part has to be the part where they discuss the vault Gary and how ridiculous it was to everyone except the quest designer who made it.
Seeing this really adds a level of appreciation for Bethesda games.
Morrowind is the reason I fell in love with Bethesda games. I still remember playing it on my original Xbox. I would just sit down start up the system and suddenly 4 hours gone. I love it to this day.
I must say I'm very impressed by these documentaries, Danny. I've been watching you for years, ever since Secret Code. I'm so proud how far you've come as a filmmaker. I watched all the CDPR stuff and this is great as well.
Thanks so much! Secret Code? Wow! There's a blast from the past. Thanks for continueing to watch :)
@@NoclipDocs Danny my boy, you did so well
This is beautiful. Thank you for this
Oh whats up
Keep fighting the good fight.
I think you’re following me around UA-cam
hey lone
Lone! Fancy seeing you here. I shouldn't be surprised.
My favorite developer. I live in MD and get to drive by the studio every day on 270 on my way home from work. I can’t help but look over every time i pass. It's pretty cool that this studio that's given me countless hours of amazing experiences is 5 mins away from me.
I have wanted to work at Bethesda since 2006 when I played Oblivion in college. Unfortunately, I never tried learning to code until about a month ago. The dream is coming back...but I realize I'll probably never work in the games industry. Maybe I can make an indie game someday if I stick with it.
I have hope in you so don't disappoint me bud 😉
Go for it! Bethesda needs talented creators now more than ever.
@@dantenastasi2278 thanks! Shortly after posting this, I got a gig as an intern on a project related to "skyblivion." It's been great. A really talented programmer on the team took me under his wing and helped me to learn a lot. If I never work in the games industry, I'll still be able to say that I worked on something that (hopefully) many people will enjoy!
What a pleasant surprise! Completely forgot about this coming out. Screw doing anything constructive with my day now. This is where it's at!

@@marbl3d45 We're here because a lot of us like the old Bethesda Elder Scrolls games like Daggerfall, Morrowind, and to a lesser extent Oblivian, they were the last truly great games made by BGS. BGS has only sullied the Fallout series even after being shown how to properly do it by Obsidian (glitches and bugs are not 100% fault of Obsidian as they were given a strict 18 month dev time to work on the series many of them had created as well as using an engine that was already dated for the year it was planning to release).

Brock English can you blame him. Leaks are cheap ways to get clicks when you’re news website sucks
Zebtat 249 Not like it's worth reading anyways
Brock English Yup, plus he’s thinking about the Fallout 76 leaks as well, from the same game journalist, from the same gaming publication..
He seems like he's mad that he never found who the inside guy was.
Who else is playing "Spot the Todd" every time a group photo comes up?
I love how much passion is in the Bethesda's team. Their games are always special. Great documentary, thank you.

@Jeff V not again. Don't start a ware in this thread again.
Jeff V bold of you to assume that these game will be 4k 60 fps without them having halo infinite graphics.
Kyzer Soze I mean, Gears 5 was able to run close to 4K at 60fps on the One X, and that game still looked incredible. The Series X will be able to do much more.
Stephen Brown the moment they add ray tracing the fps count will be cut in half. Even the gears of war 5 demo on SX was dynamic 4k. With ray tracing and scaling it up to next gen graphics it will probably be 4k 30 fps.
This deserves all the sweetrolls
This gives my soul life
Yo camel, 1:11:28 confirms west Virginia.
Camelworks lets hope Bethesda carrys this torch they have ignited, into deeper, better depths of art and story telling. At this point, the sky is their limit.
*Soule ;p
Skyler Muir how
Damn Im late! I just sent you this link haha
Wonderful work!
MrMattyPlays lets hope Bethseda will carry their torch of writing and world building to deeper, more unventured realms in video game development. As they have the last 2 1/2 decades.
MrMattyPlays p.s. keep that hype rollin for Fallout 76 my man.
What up boi
Did ya see Parker Quinn the Charge card guy?

This doc is amazing. Thank you for making it. You’ve somehow made me love and appreciate my favorite game even more…
This is amazingly well done for a youtube/internet documentary. Excellent work by the noclip team.
Fantastic documentation, this company made the best games i have played in 35 years of gaming and i am looking forward to their next title, and i don't care if it is online, if it is an RPG or a mix of a dozend different genres or a tetris clone, i am sure, it will be another great game. Thanks to the whole Team of BGS for thousands of hours of fun and immersion, your work matters to a lot of people.
I was always a bit dissapointed Bethesda never did a Making of Fallout 4 like they did with their other games in collectors/special editions. Thank you for this!
Flurdeh There is a good reason for it, it wasn't as successful as Skyrim was despite what they like to claim.
it was dude, what kind of drugs are you on
AP13P In terms of sales it definitely was.. it outsold the original Skyrim before it got rereleased 3 times.
The game itself was pretty shite, but the MASSIVE fucking HYPE and he paid reviewers plus the MASSIVE campaign made for a lot of fucking sales of FO4.
Not much to talk about. They ported the engine used in Skyrim and put a Fallout skin on it, Then made up a story where you are looking for your kid (as opposed to looking for your dad in FO3) then added an engine where you can build stuff, then hyped the living hell out of it so it sold a crap ton of copies ....... that is pretty much the story of FO4
Easily the best video game documentary I’ve seen. I like how you were able to interview Todd Howard and other key members. Getting answers from the creators themselves is always a plus.
19:58 pay attention to the guy in the background, the oblivion npcs are evolving
Memes are fun and all but, Todd Howard and everyone at Bethesda really seem very genuine about the work they do, and I think that's great
They didn't seem to give much of a shit about selling an early access game for full AAA game price
@@c.jarmstrong3111 yup
Dafuq are you talking about ?
Eh
That is to be expected when you are being interviewed. Gotta put on those fake smiles.
I just love the ambient/theme music from all games -- especially Oblivion's. Also, it's so cool that in Fallout 3, we are born inside the vault. So, when the vault dweller leaves the vault, we are experiencing the world, the wasteland for the first time just like our vault dweller. Our ignorance of the world is our character's ignorance -- so immersive. I'll never forget leaving vault 101 (that overwhelming feeling). I hope Bethesda returned to that concept in FO76.
Fallout 3 was the game that got me back into RPG’s since my early childhood when i owned a ZX-81. I’d only ever been in love with playing arcade games,i owned consoles and enjoyed Resident Evil’s and games such as Scarface and obviously GTA but Fallout 3 opened up a whole new world for me and I’ll be forever grateful
Fingers crossed that Bethesda returns to their old form with Starfield. I still have faith in them despite some things that haven't worked out as well as I'm sure they hoped they would have.
Amazing ♥
Looking forward to the Fallout 76 doco!!
Wilburgur Wowee i actually found you before anyone else did.
Wowee!
W o w e e !
Looking forward to your new video!! :)
reeeeeeeeee
You could give me every piece of footage and audio seen here and I could never edit together such an amazing documentary! Only my second Noclip doc I've ever seen, but holy shit. These guys know how to make content.
The idea that Oblivion is “downhill” from Morrowind is ridiculous. I don’t even game anymore, but I have no fonder memories of enjoying a game than Oblivion and I had played a lot of Morrowind at the time.
Just saw this video, I'm french and i discovered Bethesda's games/univers with Fallout 3 and since this time I always appreciate Bethesda's work. I've played Skyrim, Fallout: New Vegas, Wolfenstein, Dishonored, Prey, Fallout 4... Thanks for all the memories and emotions
LOVED THIS!!!!!
Thank you for hitting me with all of this nostalgia. The oblivion music is my Achilles heel. Great job.
It's funny they say Morrowind was kind of a small game because it's density and the difficulty of getting around meant it felt massive compared to either Oblivion or Skyrim.
16:25 Shout out to my boi Michael Kirkbride N´Wah!
I've been binging on these documentaries, to be honest. Definitely helps me endure these uncertain days. The quality of the productions is an inspiration - if you guys can output at this high level, I should, in my own way.
1 and a half hours long. Oh boy.
And only mostly done, they still have the Fallout 76 stuff to go over. Right after E3 too, so that makes me think the release date is actually a lot closer than say, Holiday Season 2018. Would be really funny if Bethesda Game Studios just dumped all of what would normally be Marketing building onto Noclip, since Bethesda seems fairly adversarial to the establishment games media, lol.
i remember sitting in my pc class at highschool back in the days, some guy startet playing Fallout 3, it was just released some days ago, he startet VATS for the first time with the first pistol in the tutorial, the enemy head literally exploded and the whole class was cheering. good memories man!
Noclip the best video game documentary Channel on UA-cam hands down the level of quality unparalleled among the rest keep it up noclip you are forever changing the video game documentary history for the better shedding light on the dark and mysterious creation video games and the amazing people behind them
I remember sitting down with Fallout 3 for the first time thinking it was another shooter. Going into the subway system and realizing i could go any direction and there was no end... and that I could go anywhere... I was hooked instantly.
( me, at a job interview with Bethesda)
Bethesda- so why should we hire you?
Me- because TUNNEL SNAKES RULE
Bethesda- oh dam you hired
Kasey Garrison then you wake up and get ready to go back to work at McDonald’s and you are 38
Never discuss your Tunnel Snake in a job interview. Don't make the same mistake that many have!
The original recordings of the Morrowind soundtrack still gives me feels.
I hope to work for Bethesda someday. 21 years old and just began my 3D modeling journey. My end goal is to get a job here.
every time this gives me goosebumps, thank you for making lockdown bearable
tripple gay "quaratine" this aint no mutta fukin Quaratine. So dramatic.
Wat
15:55
I'm probably one of those fans, haha
That being said, I've enjoyed all the Elder Scrolls completely and probably play Skyrim the most out of all of them.
Morrowind was the first RPG I ever played back when I was 11, loved RPGs ever since.
Oblivion > Morrowind
fallout 3 was my first rpg
Same
It was so good, so well made and so interesting. You guys nailed it, can't wait for the other part on Fallout 76!!!
Thanks so much. It was out pleasure.
Of course most of the music in this is from TESIV: Oblivion; it's the best music in the series.
Excellent work, NoClip. You earned a subscriber! :)
The thing I like about behind-the-scenes documentaries is you see how normal a lot of game developers are. Often times, we put them on a pedestal, for better or for worse, but at the end of the day they are people just like you and me who love games (art & science). The part that cemented this for me is how I can relate to the design process many of them use for BGS open world games: They start with the map (setting) and then go from there. It a very simple concept, but it's how I would approach any kind of open world project because it's logical and provides a good foundation for everything else.
This has to be the best documentary I've ever seen. Hats off to the editor and director that put everything together so well!
