Bethesda PAX Plans
Wanted to share the post we just put up for our 2016 PAX East plans. Pretty pics can be found here
See below
If you’re getting ready for PAX East, be sure to swing by the Bethesda booth (#8021). From April 22 through 24 we’ll have everything from live stage demos and panels, to hands-on stations and sweet giveaways. Take a look below at some of what you’ll see.
DOOM
Head over to the booth for hands-on time with DOOM multiplayer. Test yourself in an all-new map in an all-new mode (complete with a new Demon) and see if you have the skills and speed to destroy your competition.
You can also take part in our Cacodemon Hunt for the chance to win huge prizes, like a custom DOOM-themed Xbox One or PlayStation 4 console. By following our official DOOM social media accounts (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and SnapChat), you’ll find clues about where to collect a red keycard. Scratch off the front of the card to see if you’re an instant winner. Other prizes include custom controllers, a discount at the on-site Bethesda Store and unique swag items. If you’re not an instant winner, you can still bring your scratch card to the booth to enter our daily drawings for custom consoles and controllers. And for even more chances to win, playing DOOM multiplayer will give you an opportunity to receive blue and yellow keycards for additional daily drawings.
The Elder Scrolls Online
Diehard Elder Scrolls Online fans are in for a serious treat. From 10 am to 6 pm EDT on Saturday, April 23, there will be a full ESO community headquarters set up in Room 206 (located on the second level). This is your chance to mingle with developers and other members of the community and get a behind-the-scenes look at the game. Sit in on panels exploring the game, and take part in ESO trivia with cool exclusive prizes.
Here’s the full schedule for the day:
10 am – 11 am: Player/Guild Meet-and-Greet/ESO Developer Signing
11 am – 12 pm: Storytelling in ESO panel
12 pm – 1:30 pm: Break
1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Live ESO sketch with ESO concept artist

I am really surprised that there are no Fallout 4 plans (beyond two pins) for PAX East since Fallout 4 takes place in Boston.

1. Will there be only one location where a person can get a red key card?
2. If not, can 1 person get one red key card per each location per day?
3. Can a person only enter the daily drawing once per day per key card color? Once for a red, once for a blue and once for a yellow?
4. Is there one or more drawing per day? Have the times of the daily drawings been decided?
5. If there's more than one drawing in a day, are all the day's daily drawing entries kept in the "pot" unless they are chosen?

(BYOCAS – Bring your own coffee and sweetrolls.)
11AM – 12PM: Storytelling in ESO (Panel)
Join us for an exploration of storytelling in The Elder Scrolls Online. We'll step through each stage of storytelling in ESO starting with determining the story we want to tell, staying true to Elder Scrolls lore, which teams help in telling the stories, the full path that a visual story in ESO takes from start to completion, how we approach humor in ESO, and our philosophies for writing good dialogue. This panel will have an open Q&A at the end, so bring your questions!

And this is just the beginning of our 2016 live events, so there will be many more chances to hang out in person this year. We also plan to be at E3, gamescom, PAX Prime, and more later this year. Keep an eye out for details!
