About Emil Pagliarulo:

Emil Pagliarulo has worked in the video game industry for twenty-five years, working briefly as a reviewer before moving into development. He got his start at Looking Glass Studios in Massachusetts as a designer on the Thief series. But Emil has spent the majority of his career at Bethesda Game Studios, where he served as a Senior Designer on Skyrim, Lead Designer and Writer of Fallout 3 and 4, Writer of Fallout Shelter, and now Design Director. (Oh, and of course, working continuously and excitedly on Starfield).

He spends his free time reading classic literature, playing video games, watching his four kids play video games, or thinking about writing a novel (while actually writing stuff for video games).
