Bethesda Sweetroll joke
Bethesda has a running joke about getting your sweet roll stolen going back to Arena. In The Elder Scrolls: Arena and Morrowind while answering questions to determine your class a question is asked. "While in town the baker gives you a sweetroll. Delighted, you take it into an alley to enjoy only to be intercepted by a gang of three other kids your age. The leader demands the sweetroll, or else he and his friends will beat you and take it."
Picture
This is seen again in Skyrim, when talking to a guard they will sometimes say "Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll." Oblivion when in Skingrad you can ask a NPC about rumors and sometimes they talk about Salmo's sweetrolls saying "One time I took a sweetroll into an alleyway to eat when three thugs jumped out at me. So I took the sweetroll and..." And in Fallout 3 when Butch (the vault bully) tries to take your sweet roll.

What about New Vegas? And Oblivion? Does something like that happen, because I've played New Vegas a lot, and I haven't seen anything about a Sweetroll.

RE: Bethesda Sweet roll joke
nothing in NV but in oblivion in Skingrad, if an NPC is asked about rumors they talk about Salmo's sweetrolls. Then they will say "One time I took a sweetroll into an alleyway to eat when three thugs jumped out at me. So I took the sweetroll and..." And I messed up. That question is asked in Arena but asked again in Morrowind. I'll edit my post to include that.

Fallout isn't a Bethesda-made franchise. :P

Yet, New Vegas was made by Bethesda as well as Obsidian.

Actually, Obsidian did all the writing for NV, so that'd be why it never appeared in it.

FO3 didn't have it either. I would imagine it being because after 200 years or so, Sweetrolls weren't a thing anymore.

Fallout isn't a Bethesda-made franchise. Tongue

Bethesda could've just said - "Oi bitchez, put in a sweetroll reference including alleyways. kthx."

RE: Bethesda Sweetroll joke
Being the Bethesda nerd I am I cant let this go. Bethesda had no hand in NV but its so similar because Obsidian used the Fallout 3 code. Bethesda actually does own the Fallout franchise as of 2007. In 2004(? it might have been 2000) they had a 3 game contract with Interplay which later turned into Bethesda getting the license to Fallout because Interplay was evicted by their landlord and they just broke up after that.
And Butch tries to steal your sweetroll that Old Lady Palmer gives you.
