The relationship between Xbox and Bethesda started all the way back when Bethesda Game Studios was working on The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.
Morrowind was forced to do some rather nifty workarounds in order for Bethesda to get the game optimized on the original Xbox.
In the process, all parties involved talked about their history with one another, which resulted in some rather funny anecdotes.
When Microsoft informed Bethesda that it would be able to double the 360’s memory, Howard said that Bethesda then threw a “double memory party” to celebrate.
