I'm a big moron completionist baby so I will probably eventually play all of the Elder Scroll games, if given all of time.

What are good clip on or desktop mics that you guys use? I've been using http://www.amazon.com/Zalman-Zm-Mic1-Sensitivity-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B00029MTMQ but it makes a ton of noise whenever the cord is moved, which is constantly since it is a clip on.

My Oblivion experience consisted of going to the main city, fighting in the arena until you got the shiny gear. Then mowed through some dungeon and got bored very quick. I think i did it wrong.

Speaking of bad elder scrolls games, all boxed copies of elder scrolls online have been pulled from australian stores. This is only done if it goes free to play. If it was a new version, they would just drop the price. Porting to console is still a myth and they want two more systems released before they release the ports. They also removed six month subs from the game which is generally a sign that free to play is coming in about six months. This will be a riot when it finally goes f2p.

QA question for people that know how games are made: who are the people that test AAA games (my only impression is from the movie grandma's boy)? My first guess would be sweatshop workers in the third world or no one at all in the case of some publishers.

Third testing group - developers, friends, and family - is a massive circlejerk almost always. Even if the people are nice, it is not easy for everyone to flip a switch and to attempt to dump a massive poo poo, with nut pieces stuck in it, on something you have spent so much effort (or time, at least).

A buddy of mine actually started as a lowly QA guy and worked up to producer at a well known studio but I understand that to be an exception. He had no prior experience in any tech oriented job and has no experience coding or anything that would make him especially suited to QA software. There's also computerized testing of games, so places will employ engineers to create tools that can execute certain kinds of tests.

My suggestion would be just to get another cheap 3.5mm microphone, something like this, and maybe save up for a decent USB mic (around $50) some year or two down the road, if the issue proves to be with 3.5mm slot or if better quality is needed.

i think that was the funniest thing about The Tester series, that your prize for having roaches dumped on you and frantically completing arbitrary menial tasks, was a job at sony to QA their games. people think they will get to play elder scrolls 6 before anyone else or something, and then find out you have to play the mountain of white-noise licensed garbage games that are riddled with bugs you then have to record to get paid

Bicyclops posted:Hi, chat thread. I've been playing Oblivion lately. I'm using the AF leveling, Darnified UI, Unofficial Patches and House Map Markers mods. I enjoyed Shivering Isles, which I never played, and will probably like Knights of Nine, once I finish the Dark Brotherhood and can afford to get rid of my infamy. I think after this I might play Morrowind, but I imagine it'd have to be heavily modded for people who started on Oblivion to enjoy it? I dunno. I like the Elder Scrolls games. You don't need mods but you should install the Morrowind Code Patch, it fixes a lot of nasty bugs. I think the Code Patch lets you change other stuff in the install menu but you should ignore most of it and use the default settings.

These have gotten more refined and polished over time - Halo 2's smoke tests essentially just created or joined matchmaking games then mashed all the buttons while in-game so the player would run around in circles firing and throwing grenades, while Bayonetta 2 has a detailed scripting system that plots out a path for an AI to take through all the levels, allowing a spare PC or devkit to beat the game over and over and over again to try and find bugs through pure attrition.

i dunno if its still like this but a lot of the guys doing QA would be given a small area of the game to attempt to break as well, i.e. trying to find ways up onto scenery, out of bounds and whatever

I'm thankful for those people though, because, despite making the mod community embarrassing, they've made it really easy to have an in depth encyclopedia that includes the in-game schedules for like every NPC when I need to find them, and bug fixes for every quest. Thanks, UESP.

Video games in general would be a lot more frustrating for me if there were not so many people out there willing to endlessly catalogue minutae for every quest of every game imaginable. Thank you, autism spectrum, for all your help over the years.
