    @buhssuht: Cancer takes plenty of "bad people," it's just that no one unrelated to the person cares.

    I think they had an interview with him on the Bethesda Podcast last year, he was really passionate about these games. A terrible loss, thoughts with his family.

    R.I.P. sir. I may not play Bethesda's RPGs (only Bethesda game on my shelf currently is RAGE), but I certainly respect 'em. You did some great work.

    A man so great they named him twice and added an "owicz" at the end to drive the name home. Now he's in Heaven creating awesome game designs with Jesus.

    I loved the concept art he produced for Fallout 3 but I feel it wasn't until Skyrim that his vision could really be seen in the world. He may have died young but what a magnificent legacy to leave behind.

    Cancer is a tragic thing. I thank Adam for his contributions at Bethesda to make some of the greatest games ever made. He's touched the lives of many people, if anyone truly enjoyed fallout 3 and Skyrim's environment and over all tone to the world then you owe it to him. And I owe you my thanks Adam. R.I.P.

    RIP, I had no idea he was a large part of the genius behind bethesda. Skyrim and Fallout 3 have brought me many hours of enjoyment. Sad to see such a talented man go, but his legacy will live on.

    Condolences. It's a real tragedy.

    Fallout 3 and Skyrim have absolutely amazing concept art that seems to have really given direction to the entire vibe and overall direction for those games. I got the artbook for both games, and there's really distinct and interesting approaches to both games, where playing the game you can tell they knew what they wanted to shoot for early on.

    What a tragic loss. Rest in peace, Mr. Adamowicz, your work will be forever engraved in the minds of 10 million plus Dragonborns.

    I guess some heavenly host needed a trainer so he could level up his art skills to 100.

    RIP duder.. Cancer fucking sucks. My uncle lost his battle against cancer earlier this month. Worst feeling in the world knowing you can't do anything to help. Here's to finding a cure to cancer really soon!
