He has said that he does not have a deep love for the products or the jobs he performs today, but he cares greatly for his work and precision in his programming. He implied that he has not visited the Bethesda Studios office in years and that he lives only a few minutes from it. He has stated the house implementation in ''Daggerfall'' was done late and was therefore underdeveloped. He was unhappy with the lack of furniture and other assets that did not make it into the final game.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Daggerfall/comments/7b4vh4/ask_me_anything_im_julian_jensen_programmer/|title=Ask Me Anything: I'm Julian Jensen, programmer, designer and "Father of the Elder Scrolls" • r/Daggerfall|website=reddit|language=en|access-date=2017-11-10}}</ref>
