ES4: Oblivion - Quest Interview @ CVG

CVG has a short interview with Bethsoft Senior Designer Bruce Nesmith on the creation of quests for Oblivion:

So how do you go about creating miscellaneous quests for Oblivion and its inevitable expansions?

We have a staff of designers and they all submit a collection of ideas. They're all then thrown together and reviewed - depending on the project they're sometimes reviewed by committee, sometimes by the entire group. In the case of Oblivion, it was the entire group and we picked the ones we thought would be the best ideas to implement. Then those ideas get handed out to the various designers to implement and they start creating them. It's very much a group process and we try to involve everybody - it's a chance for the whole team to be creative. One of the great things about the miscellaneous quests is they go in so many different directions because they have so many different types of mind putting together the basic ideas for them.
