Kris is currently the focus of Bethesdaās development spotlight for December. Letās dive into the interview and discover what this talented designer has to say.
In the article, Kris revealed that, although Oblivion was his first Bethesda game, many of his earliest mod exploits were focused on an older title - Morrowind. The designer said he tried redesigning Morrowind, which was not a small undertaking, but said that ānothing came out of it.ā
It was that experience, however, that he learned a lot about modding and the Creation Kit.
What was his favorite mod? Kris told Bethesda that his favorite was one for Fallout 3 called the āDotās Diner,ā a quest that involved the player solving the mysterious murders that took place every time he picked up a public payphone at midnight.

The developer said that it was only after the Creation Club launch that he considered a career. Fortunately, his fellow modders and developers at Bethesda put in a kind word for him and got him working with Toddās studio.
Fast forward to today. Kris said that he continues to work with Bethesda because of the good relationships that he has forged with his team members and his high respect for the developers who came before him.
