Pete Hines of Bethesda Softworks annouced the death of Adam Adamowicz via Twitter yesterday. He was only 42 years old when he died after a long fight against cancer. Adamowicz was a Concept Artist and responsible for designing the worlds of blockbusters like Fallout 3 and Skyrim. His great work and talent shall always be remembered.
For me as a huge Bethesda Fan this is sad news so i thought it might be good idea to share this news with you.
Playing Fallout will never feel the same again ... ;-(
EDIT: Just found this
Farewell Adam Adamowicz : The Visual Mind Behind Fallout 3
Just a few of his published works ... google search will yield more results.

2 people = so many?
Anyway, RIP. Skyrim is something else to behold.
|
R.I.P... cancer is a fucking bitch.
|
|
|
R.I.P.
Why don't they just take those who doesn't do anything good in this world?
|
RIP. Truly a great artist, sad he's gone.
|
It looks like he was a great artist. RIP.
|
Nooooooo :/
What will happen to TES:VI now? T.T
R.I.P. You really deserve it 
+ Show Spoiler +...to find peace that is, not to die... >.>

His designs were enormously influential and were appreciated by tens of millions across the globe.
RIP

RIP, will do a playthrough in Skyrim in your honour.

It's a terrible shame. My condolences.

Rest in peace.
The world lost one great talent.
|
|
|
Didn't know who he was, but his works look amazing. RIP
|
Man, i only wish i was as talented and creative as him. RIP.
|
|
|
|
|
His works will be missed.
|
RIP. I cannot even fathom the amount of time spent on fallout 3, well over 200 hours.
|
Why do the people with the coolest names have to die young?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This man will live forever in the memories and consciousnesses of the gamers that he has immersed in his designs, and future world builders will take their cues from him.
|
omfg. At least he has been immortalized in his works :D
|
RIP
Loved Skyrim as well as Fallout
|
RIP and he had a sick last name btw :D
|
I loved the robot designs in Fallout 3. RIP.
|
|
|
R.I.P
The world felt amazing in fallout three
|
R.I.P your master peices will not be forgotten
|
Never even heard of him until now....but if he did alot of work on Fallout 3 then he automatically has my respect, it had fucking fantastic design.
RIP.
|
RIP. the best always die young...
|
He had some amazing Talent RIP.
|
|
|
RIP man, great artist, you did a great job bringing entertainment and fantasy in our bland uninteresting world.
|
Woaah, it's quite sad.
Rest in peace master.
|
|
|
RIP.
Both beautiful games.
|
RIP
|
RIP. If he's one of the guys who worked on Skyrim's map, he was a genius!
|
"RIP!" - Fallout 3 was the last real high end game I had the chance to play, and I loved it all thanks to him?
FUCK YEAH "REST IN PRAYERS!"
|
RIP.
|
rip to a great person but, his name? did his parents think they were funny or something ;l i bet that was great when he was at school
|
To me this matters more than Whitney Houston, she meant alot more to the general public I guess, but I never listened to her. I did play fallout 3 and skyrim however.

This makes me sad, I love bethesda games, despite how buggy they are.

I didn't even know he existed until today, but, based on these sketches, he had quite a bit to do with fallout 3. He wil be missed.

One died of cancer. The other died because she was a drug addict. Not really comparable.
|
RIP! thanks for ur huge contribution to gaming <3
|
RIP Bud. I have spent 300+ hours of my life playing your games and I enjoyed every second. You will be greatly missed.
|
He had a great mind and imagination that helped his art become something more.
RIP Adam condolences to your family and friends.

2.4 people die every second. Chances are a lot of people in their 40's have died in 2012.

|
RIP, artists like him will be impossible for bethesda to replace.
|
|
|
|
|
Fallout 3 was the game which changed my way of thinking about games, as not merely a fun hobby but rather as an artform. A lot of that was because of this man, whom I've never heard of until today.
RIP brother, you are a true artist.
|
RIP, seriously awful news.
|
Game development has long an important member.

That's pretty ironic. I literally learned who this guy was just a couple hours ago while randomly for no reason reading an article on Bethesda (was reading the article on elder scrolls first). Hell, I just learned that Bethesda is located in my home state.
RIP.

|
This man is a LEGEND in the gaming world... Every game he worked on got a 9 Rating
Skyrim, Fallout!!! RIP Forever LOVE!

They do, it's just that those people's deaths don't get coverage.
OT: RIP, the worlds of TES games really were one of their strong points.
|
RIP. He will be missed.....

Oh, lol.

JaBrOnI- one never knows what good each person in this world is doing. suggesting people who do "nothing" be taken away isn't a feasable request. I realize i am taking your comment super seriously, but each person in this world is doing good for someone else. Even if its not as much as creating video games, or bringing the joy through music, every person in this world brings joy to someone else. parents, children, siblings, friends.... RIP Adam....
|
Such talent, just looking at his pieces makes me want to give Fallout 3 another try.
RIP.
