I love how self aware this guy is. He realizes that the dialogue in Fallout 4 wasn't successful, and he can admit it. Makes me hopeful that they won't make the same mistake again with the new Elder Scrolls.

WOW, I am starting to respect this guy even more. At least he has the balls to admit the way they addressed the dialogue wasn't the best. And admitting that the multi award winning game such as F3 didn't have the best of gunplay mechanics must be hard to to do so when you're this successful. I've seen a SHIT TON of developer interviews, and some of them dodge the questions regarding the problems with their games as the last nail in the coffin. I wasn't even going to buy Skyrim's HD version because I already own it on steam, but somehow I feel compelled to give them more money... RESPECT!

I absolutely love the fact Todd does not have an ego. He readily admits mistakes Bethesda has made, doesn't get defensive about things, or use corporate-speak to dodge an issue. That is so refreshing to see.

"For us, we take that feedback" - Not ever once said in an EA boardroom

Skywind and Skyblivion represent!

Todd is just so chill about everything. He is my spirit animal!

He's on the wall of every one of me settlement houses lol

Todd Howard: I want it to be as short as possible Also Todd Howard: Announces Elder Scrolls 6 Seven years before it's 2025 release

I love that he can admit to the dialogue and minimalist RPG mechanics. They do listen, it's good to see that. So Im glad they can try and fix there games.

Truth be told, Bethesda games are the only games in which I sometimes just stop to read lore books or walk around just taking in the environment. Especially in Skyrim you just automatically stop after the main quest and then climp to the peak of the throat of the world, use the clear skies shout and watch the sunset. Also in Skyrim I like to use the creation kit to tweak my own game by adding different variants of one armor to which I myself make new textures or some little things like that. Just the fact that I can modify my own experience with the game's blessing makes it fantastic.

Good to see he is basically admitting the dialogue was shit. So good to see developers admitting faults instead of just brushing them under the rug.

When I see people hating Todd I see no reason for it because Todd can admit to his mistakes and he always fixes them in the next game

The shooting is amazing in Fallout 4, but yeah, I'd like to go back to the dialogues in Fallout 3 and New Vegas. New Vegas is still my fave Fallout game, so I hope the next one goes back to NCR territory.

I love how honest Todd is. If a game mechanic didn't work as well as he would have liked it to he doesn't blindly defend it, he openly talks about how some aspects were a bit weak and it's just a nice and mature conversation between them. He also seems to genuenly love his job

Todd is love, Todd is life.

great interview, loved it...and thank you for displaying your sponsor without stopping in the middle for commercial...

You see! Todd Howard acknowledges the shooter over RPG elements. This man is my favorite gaming industry figure.

Todd is one of rare people that will say for THEIR game "that didnt worked well"

What a great interview and what a great human being.

Excellent interview. Great back and forth, Todd was super humble, honest, and transparent. He truly is a Godd.

Todd 3:16 "we think about the long run of the game..." i love this guy

The best part of this interview was Todd Howard saying he didn't think he'd EVER get tired of making TES & Fallout games. Love hearing that.

This guy was a legend born in the PS3/360 era with games like Skyrim and F3. Hopefully we get to see him take the stage once again for Elder Scrolls 6. Every time he gets on the stage everyone goes crazy.

He's so interesting to listen to. Wish I could ask him a few questions myself on modding.

This was a really solid interview. I love how Todd Howard is so comfortable in his position in terms of company and industry that he can have an honest, open, and almost entirely PR-untained conversation about both the good and bad about his own and others' games. Nothing but love for the man, and this is also definitely a situation, where Danny shines as well.

That was a great interview.

A big thanks for the nice conversation and how fortunate it happened.

I like this guy and Bethesda. Nobody embraced the community like them at least not in terms of big companies. Smart move.

todd for life

You really must respect the guy for admitting that the dialog system was a misstep decision or as he said it "didn't work so well"

Fantastic interview. Kudos to the interviewer and the questions he asked :)

i mean this dude is an actual legend. he is probably the to make a real push for legal mods on consoles

glad to see Todd admitted to there mistakes for fallout 4 most devs would ignore it

"There's some big ones that we have coming, that are in the vein of what you'd expect from us, but they're also they're very new and different games, and bigger in many ways than anything we've done". That's a very interesting quote now that we've seen the trailer for Fallout 76. We still know nothing about the game, but this essentially confirms that it's not just another open world RPG.

What an amazing conversation

WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?

I want to Explore Akavir eventually Mr. Howard. Here's hoping for the future!

This interviewer predicted an online Fallout game. Godd Howard had a legit poker face when he brought it up

honestly "Airheads Bites" showed up so often that now I kind of want to try them

These are great questions

Todd Howard is the man

its so sad e3 is basically dead. it was my favorite thing for a few years. i used to have some of those dvd box sets you can get with all the footage was amazing.

God i love Godd Howard so fucking much.

I love hearing todd howard, hes the best, always a pleasure hearing him speak, the man is a living legend :D

What a professional interview !

One of the projects better be a new engine

this is a really dope interivew

fantastic. love Todd's zen attitude too. :)

What a legend. No corporate bull, and admits his faults. I think a testament as to how good Bethesda and Todd are is the fact that of all my games, Skyrim is the only one I still come back to at least once a month.

Last time I came this early my girl left me

I love you Todd Howard.

He is such a class act. Love this guy.

I'm really happy that he recognized that some dialogue stuff didn't work, the game needed more choice and that stuff you do in the downtime of a game is important, that's actually really good to hear that they learn from their mistakes

i love this man

Good interview

I like how Todd is not blind to the problems of Fallout 4. He seems to be fairly well informed about it's shortcomings and seems thoughtful about making changes in the future. Got to love this guy!

I've said it before and I'll say it again this guy is a great host much respect!

I swear Todd never ages

i love Todd Howard

It. Just. Works.

I love Todd Howard. So much.

Mr. Howard seems like an awesome guy, haven't been dissapointed by any game he has headed. But I do wish that Fallout 4 had more story DLC's like Fallout 3 had.

I do enjoy watching Todd Howard talk. Also, isn't there a VR version of Fallout 4 coming out later this year?

Todd Howard is the man!!

I like Todd, seems like a genuine nice guy.

Godd Howard is king.... and god!

Daddy Todd

The skyrim part literally made my mouth drop open and I teared up a little bit

i love you todd!

"VI" Presents? Well played, well played.

So awesome he acknowledges the negatives so openly, practically no one else I've seen do it.

I dont know how people can dislike Todd Howard. Its like this dude maxed his charisma, hes just so likable.

Todd Howard is the best spoken, most genuine developer you ever see interviewed.

Todd, best person in the gaming industry, and everywhere else.

Man I would love to have a beer with Todd Howard

Todd I love you.

Todd, you were the CHOSEN ONE

such a cool guy

Todd Howard is a hero in the gaming world.

it just works

i wish todd was my dad id let him grab my panini bread if he lets me play all his games for free

It’s really cool how he admits to making mistakes like the dialogue in Fallout 4 for example. It makes me respect him a a lot more.

I think that since bethesda is doing vr for fallout 4 and doom they should also add vr support for the skyrim remaster I know at least I would be interested.

"tell me,the sweet little lies" song start playing in background.

the funny thing is with all the games coming out this year ill be playing skyrim till the end of the year lil. let it die looks awesome also

4:36 hint involving Elder Scrolls 6? Maybe it's closer than we think.

For him to admit to the things that people didn't like with Fallout 4 (dialogue, lack of rpg elements) says a lot about him as a lead and makes him even more awesome.

So does this mean you will go back to more dialogue options and better roleplaying in Fallout 5?

he knows the good and bad we said about fo4 and he's not afraid to admit it he's best gaming director ever

You guys picked the perfect person to interview Todd Howard. Danny O'Dwyer is one of your top dogs, you'll do well to remember that.

ive put 12 litteral days into fo4 without mods i cant imagine when they come out for ps4

Can I make the Skyrim mods on consoles when it comes out?

i'd really like it if they'd make proper ports or remakes to the early TES games like arena and daggerfall i think its kind of been so long that the new generations have only been playing since morrowind at best and it would be a really fun experience for people to be able to see that point in time in the elder scrolls universe.

dialoug mod where you can see what your character is going to say for fallout 4 really helps.

yea he knew about fallout 76 at this point

Who else is on a Toddyssey, watching every Todd Howard interview and presentation from the last 5+ years because we didn't get to see him announcing a new IP at E3 2017?

Todd u should hire the Creators of Skyblivion

@gamespot I would much rather see airheads and such ads in the background than have to watch any type of ad before the video, thanks and have a nice day!

i love you todd!!!

Would be cool if their speech dialogue Was a mixture of new Vegas fo3 and just a LITTLE bit of telltales dialogue (timed dialogue) but only for special conversation if that makes any sense
