If I missed any primary areas for the polls, please let me know what you think should be added or if you'd like to just say what you want via a post, that is fine too.

I was torn between the first two options-- but learning how to explain something coherently is an incredibly valuable skill.

I opted for "How to use the Creation Kit" in the end, however as NellSpeed correctly points out explaining things coherently is a skill in itself. Being a good modder does not make one a good teacher, proof of that can be found in many tutorials around the net that poorly explain areas or miss things completely thus rendering them useless. I also opted for video tutorials but they should be HD (720p is enough) with a decent bitrate, over compressed low res videos are no good to anyone.

You should use checkboxes instead of radiobuttons for the second poll.

[ArticKill]

you should add an all of the above option

Video-based tutorials for blender sound good. :smile: Edited January 20, 2011 by Nadimos

I was torn between learning how to use the kit and the voice over files. I'm sure I can figure the kit out...well at least how to navigate within it. I'll never be able to manipulate the camera well. It hates me.

So I went with the voice over ...I want to be able to add voices to mods, either for my personal use or maybe for others to use in their mods as well. *shrug* I just hate silent text.

If the poll were multiple choice, I'm sure that many would just click every box...which doesn't help provide direction in what the community would like to see done first.

 

As it stands right now, it is obvious that Video tutorials on how to use the Creation Kit are the most-desired tutorials at the moment.

They should have a "What's new" section for veteran users.The transition between construction set and GECK was wierd, I mean, in a good way. Searching things you want, and previewing objects, who knows what they'll add next?

I think we'd really only need Creation Kit tutorials this time 'round, because most of the other programs (Blender, GIMP, etc.) are all covered on their own sites. Of course, Bethesda could throw us a curve ball and use some totally proprietary format for their meshes...
