Two questions from me.

1) In your professional opinion, what percentage of the things we hear or see on the news is the truth and what percentage of it is engineered?

2) Based on your personal experiences, how willing would you say our intelligence community is when it comes to deceiving us (whether it be in our own interest in the interest of other parties)?

I know the assumed answer is "extremely", but I suppose my real question is how accurate that is and if it's in fact the reality, how are we supposed to trust that the intelligence community have our best interests in mind and not say....the military industrial complex or the next highest bidder?

(by "we", "our", etc. I mean American citizens, just to be clear)

Hey Todd, any comment on Bethesda's intent towards modding and specifically the monetization of mods? In the interview you did recently you mentioned your desire to turn modding into "more than just a hobby". The implication of this statement combined with your company's....interesting monetization history, tells me that the end goal could very well be to have a paid mod shop in Bethesda games (I'd put my money on it being a subscription service, personally).

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, curated mod lists are great, but it could mean the end of support for free mods in Bethesda titles. Is that the long-term vision for the modding community supporting your titles?
