Pete Hines is leaving Bethesda

[Luzur]

So if Pete Hines and Todd Howard start a new studio, what would they name it?

Sweet Little Lies

Truth be told, if they did name it that everyone would beat a path to their door, at least at first.

I don’t know if Todd’s the best to leave. He has pretty solid idea of an RPG behind all the shit, but he follows the market like a fucking sheep. If that got out of him (Hines was a marketing guy…), something actually decent might happen.

Just ”might”, though.

I think Todd will retire after TES VI comes out. I don't think he'll quit before then.

Then again, stranger things have happened.

Yeah, he seems like a guy who knows his ”vision” has peaked.

At least for how things are going.

One man's peak is another man's Mariana Trench.

Just heard that Kirkbride is back as lead director for TES6

Man, I know you're kidding but I read some of Kirkbride's latest stuff and he's becoming more of a reddity soyman by the minute, he was always kind of like that but he was brilliant enough to pull it off, at this point he'd probably make TES 6: Wakanda as a penance after expressing his sincere regret for having criticized United Colors of Benneton worldbuilding at one point

I liked him when he wrote crazy/outlandish stuff.
Morrowind being his crowning achievement.

ah yes, Pete "axes are blunt weapons" Hines.

Well, I guess it depends with which side you hit. Maybe he never figured out?

Are the old Jimbob Garry's mod cartoons with Hines in them still up anywhere?

Most of his comics are stickied in Retardo Land and still functional you just have to open the images in a new tab to make the watermarks go away. I don't know if more one-off comics are there.

Edit: he's got a few other comics that weren't stickied, you can still find one barely cut off in his signature and I imagine there were more there.
