Another addition from Bethesda's endless pool of producers comes with associate producer Angela Browder. Please don't discuss Fallout 1/2 near any Bethesda staff.<blockquote>What other games have you worked on?

Before I started at Bethesda, I spent a number of years working as a GameMaster for an online text-based RPG while I was going to school. Here at Bethesda, I worked in QA on Oblivion and its many manifestations before moving to production on Fallout 3.</blockquote>Link: Inside the Vault - Angela Browder.
 
Far be it from me to question this woman's credentials, lest I be reprimanded by Briosafreak....but she went from online gamemaster to QA to associate producer? We should all be so lucky to experience that kind of advancement in our respective professions.

There definitely seems to be a serious lack of veteran experience within the Fallout 3 team, wouldn't you say?

's pretty much how the career of everyone at Bethesda goes. QA-turned-producer just seems par the course.

... I consider it a big part of my job to do what I can to make things easier for people to get their jobs done — whether this be acting as a liaison between departments, wrangling decisions from those who need to make decisions or just acting as an ear during times of frustration. ...

Expeditors deal with elemental entities: ice breaking, fire fighting, mud slinging, and wind breaking.

Beth-soft appears to be equipped with the standard glaciers, geysers, and bottle necks as any aspiring bureaucracy.

Add some bears and buffaloes and they can larp out Yellowstone Park, already got the Codex approved hiking simulator,

Hey Booboo, Oblivion wit' Pic-a-nic Baskets!

Maybe she described it as an "online text-based RPG" because the majority of the fucktards that comprise Bethesda's fanbase don't know what a MUD is.
 
About her (and also all the others) playing Fallout I or II or even both:

That's cool, but you know, Uwe Boll also played a lot of games he did movies of, and i think he said more then once, that he loved the games and the story of the games and so on...
Okay, i couldn't quote him on that, but at least i think i read such things ;)

I wish they would release something more meaningful...

The importance of Bethesda employees playing Fallout lies in the fact that Fallout has many under-surface mechanics which don't readily expose themselves, yet, as a whole sum of their outcomes and interactions, create depth. There's no way to truly know what Fallout is without playing through it.

Making a Fallout sequel without having played through Fallout is akin to creating a replica of a building without having been inside of it.

She played Fallout.

Yeah, I know. So? The NMA tradition of poking fun at the BethBlogqas not asking about Fallout comes primarily from the removal of that question. I really actually couldn't care less if an associate producer played the game. Designer, artist, sure. Programmer, producer? Who cares.

Dude, that's nothing. I've seen a guy promoted from QA lead to director of the publishing/marketing department.

Briosafreak:
... And what did she liked the most about playing Fallout?

(A.B.)
The combat messages are one of my favorite parts as they always make me laugh. I mean, I am sure the bruise will look nice and maybe the scars will make good party talk.

Perhaps it takes lawyer training to READ the small print.

Contrast this sense of cause and efect humor with Todd Howard's Nex Gen glee at exploding heads.

This difference in humor could be gender based, could be age or education, or culture, or on the street-life experience based.

Just different personalities.

May not be the single unit reason, still could be an interesting measure of the person with in.

Expect A. B. to be handed the lead job for a literate puzzle game.

Anticipate A.B. to hit a glass ceiling when others rise to head the hundred million dollar flag ship titles.

Perhaps being an expeditor, a problem solver will win A.B. any lead roles she may wish to challenge.

Maybe in the next generation of this game industry.
