Inside the Vault: Dane Olds

[King of Creation]

<strong>[ Game -> Interview ]</strong> - More info on <a href="#Inside the Vault">Community: Inside the Vault</a>

<p><a href="http://bethblog.com/?p=513#more-513" target="_self">The Bethblog</a> has put up a new Inside the Vault. This one is with character artist <strong>Dane Olds</strong>. Highlights:</p><blockquote><p><em><strong>What&rsquo;s your job at Bethesda?</strong>

I&rsquo;m a character artist here at Bethesda. I mainly do modeling and
texturing for the weapons in Fallout 3. I also do outfits for
characters on occasion.</em></p><p><em><strong>What other games have you worked on? </strong>

I started out in the game industry here at Bethesda. I got my break
working as an environment art intern on Shivering Isles. Before I
graduated college I worked as a project lead/character artist on a
total conversion mod for Half-Life 2 called Forever Bound.</em></p><p><em>...</em></p><p><em><strong>What would you say is your personal favorite game of all time?</strong>

Tough question. I&rsquo;ve been a gamer my whole life and there have been a
number of games that have been extremely influential on me, so it&rsquo;s
hard to pick out one game that is my favorite. When I was a kid I was
introduced to games on the NES. Super Mario Bros., Megaman 2,
Excitebike, and Double Dragon got me into gaming. Other games that had
a big impact on me over the years include Might and Magic 7, Arcanum,
Fallout, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Diablo, Castlevania: Symphony of the
Night, and more recently Mass Effect, Stalker, and Team Fortress 2. I&rsquo;m
sure I&rsquo;m forgetting a lot here, but those are the ones that really
stand out to me at the moment.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>At least he lists Fallout as a game that has made an impact on him. Read the whole thing <a href="http://bethblog.com/?p=513#more-513" target="_self">here</a>.

Who the fuck cares? Stop posting this crap. The INSIDE THE VAULT news posts end up getting spammed with goatse and crippled children anyway.

Great, another Oblivion intern responsible for the development of Fallout 3.

[Thor Kaufman]

Dane? That's a girl's name, no wonder you didn't post pics of "him".

[frissy]

He actually sounds ok. Nothing new, nothing bad.



As for Beth... er... is their "top" team always interns...?
