A SKYRIM DOCUMENTARY | You're Finally Awake: Nine Developers Recount the Making of Skyrim

IbizaPocholo

NeoGAFs Kent Brockman


Welcome to a never-before-seen Developer Reunion and Retrospective. In celebration of Skyrim’s 10th Anniversary, I’ve joined with nine of my former colleagues to reminisce about what what we worked on, how we worked on it, and what it was like to collaborate with each other on The Elder Scrolls V. It was so good to see them and catch up - I def got The Feels more than once putting this video together for you - and I hope you like it.
