• Bethesda charges gamers with the ultimate quest

[quote]Vice President of Bethesda Softworks Pete Hines has issued a challenge to potential parents everywhere. If your child is born on the game’s release date – 11/11/11 – and you name them Dovahkiin – the protagonist’s title – you will receive… an unknown reward. He adds that Friday was the optimal time to conceive if you wish your child will be born on that day and therefore eligible to win a prize. The quest was announced on the Bethesda blog, with an entertaining disclaimer and a mock screenshot.

Bethesda Softworks is not responsible for your parenting. You may gain experience points for completing this quest, but you will not care at 3am on a work night. Completion of this quest may also result in decreased desire to play video games and/or function as a human being. Consult with your friends before embarking on this quest; while it may not start in prison, it probably ends there.” [/quote] Source: [url]http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/02/21/bethesda-advise-on-when-to-conceive-if-you-want-your-child-to-be-a-skyrim-competition-entry/[/url] So yeah, not only do they expect a gamer to actually have sex but have a child on an exact date and name their child something stupid. [editline]e[/editline] Best achievement ever
This is stupid
It's too late anyway
No matter how silly this is I cannot fault the ambition.
Pretty hard quest considering most gamers have it hard enough getting within ten feet of a girl.
i would do it.
Oh wow when I read this on their blog yesterday I didn't even notice that the screenshot was a mock one :v:

Dovahkiin is about to become a very common name
anybody to do this is a special kind of retarded.
Their child would be a failure.

I was already born on 11/11. Back off you posers! Sucks that I'm actually 19, though. Well, I wouldn't want to be named Dovahkin anyway.
Give birth, receive prize, legally change name. Problem solved.
Hey guys! This reminds me of a certain video game company who did a similar stunt like this. Was it Midway or Acclaim?
Just name it him and then change it at a later date? Simples.
If you name your child Dovahkiin and don't live in the Middle East/South America/Africa you can be assured your child is going to be bullied for the rest of his/her life.
It would be embarrassing to be named after your parent's retarded fantasy, fuck that.
[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;28188291]It would be embarrassing to be named after your parent's retarded fantasy, fuck that.[/QUOTE] It would be badass for people to call you Dovahkiin.

I'd wager that if the reward directly applies to the game it'll be released as DLC two months later anyway.
Why couldn't they pick an actually badass name?
[QUOTE=Megafanx13;28187916]Precisely. 9 months from now is the [B]21st[/B] of November.[/QUOTE] That's an average, you usually give or take 2 weeks.
Quest accepted.
