Again, specifically saying what he worked on was actually connected with the game he was making now.
Did he work on game balance and feel? did he work on environment? Did he work on enemy AI?
It'd show me what to expect in the new game.
Would be like saying chef worked at restaurant for 15 years. Do you want to eat his food?
Well, you can probably expect decent food but... I'm not a big seafood fan so if you brought perfectly seared scallops and a seafood risotto I probably wouldn't like the result.
If he cooked at a dive bar for 15 years and made hand ground meatballs with homemade pasta sauce and started his own wing place I'd question it.
So headline being -
"Skyrim lead developer - making solo game"
And the ambiguous title makes me think "Starfield questline and custom spaceship developer makes solo game"
Interesting that when asked to bring a self founded viewpoint you return to the core conceit despite presenting counter arguments to the contrary in all prior responses.
Once again, what would prove to YOU that someone had a history or resume to be valid in a statement about prior experience in regards to new ventures?
