Bethesda Softworks Inside the Vault Q&A

The latest developer Q&A on the official Bethesda blog features producer Jeff Gardiner.

What’s your job at Bethesda?
I’m a Producer. AKA, the ‘˜cattle prod,’ the ‘˜snake-oil salesman,’ or ‘˜smiley-glad-hand.’ On Fallout 3, I’m in charge of keeping the designers busy. I also have a heavy background in design from previous projects, so I coordinate and help design various game systems; combat and VATS in particular, among other things. It’s a great job. Being able to shoot at things in a videogame all day, and then getting paid, isn’t something I take for granted.
