Reddit AMA [8]

In his reddit AMA on /r/Daggerfall he has stated that he doesn't have a deep love for the products or the jobs he performs today, but he cares greatly for his work and precision in his programming. He implied that he hasn't visited the Bethesda Studios Office in years and that he lives only a few minutes from it. He has stated the house implementation in Daggerfall was done late and was therefore underdeveloped. He was unhappy with the lack of furniture and other assets that didn't make it into the final game.
