Emil Pagliarulo

Emil Pagliarulo is a developer who worked at Bethesda Softworks on Fallout 3, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 as a lead designer. He was credited with special thanks on Fallout: New Vegas, as a writer on Fallout Shelter and as the creator of the concept for One Man, and a Crate of Puppets.

Career
Before working at Bethesda, he was a designer on the Thief series, and worked at Looking Glass and Ion Storm Austin. At Bethesda, his first task was creating all the miscellaneous quests for Bloodmoon, the second official Morrowind expansion. Then he did a lot of design work on Oblivion, including the Arena and Dark Brotherhood.

When put to work on Fallout 3, he incorporated some of the game's dark humor. One of his ideas was suggesting the Pint-Sized Slasher for the evil end to the Tranquility Lane quest, which, when finished, allowed the player character to exit the simulation. He also had an uncredited voice cameo in the game, as the Boston-accented trucker in Partial CB radio backup.

In 2015, alongside reprising his role as lead writer and designer on Fallout 4, he also voiced Parker Quinn, a character modeled after himself. He also voiced a few other minor uncredited roles, including Jonathan Widmark, the narrator of the groundskeeper's log, the NCR radio announcer in Dangerous Minds, and would add his childhood home block as a location. Pagliarulo also served as a design director on Fallout 76, released in 2018.
