How did a young guy walking past the Bethesda studios, join the company after being rejected multiple times and within a few years become essentially the head guy at Bethesda Game Studios?
Tod Howard is the Michael Scott of Bethesda. I honestly was waiting for him to awkwardly join in on the kickboxing with bereft looks from the employee's.

This was so great! I would love to come and walk through there! Maybe get to talk to some of the designers!! That would be so interesting. I'd even like to make a little video of it and put on my channel...me talking to you guys! Would be so great!!
I remember when Skyrim first came out, I pretended to be sick so I could skip school and play it. Here I am now, almost a decade later and I still play it.
My first playthrough I walked in, heard battle music, saw those two fighting, assumed they were bandits and killed them both. No one stopped me or even cared lol.
Matt Coolest job, but also gotta definitely work hard in it, and like Todd said, you gotta earn your position. It looks so fun, but if you don't have kickass work and drive with the team, you'll probably be let off pretty early, as goes with a lot of other game studios out there.
Their sound director is a genius. I've seen a couple videos on that guy and he has built some of the most memorable sounds personally for me from Skyrim and all of the fallout games.

Out back we have our very own official The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Garden, which is where we grow all of our outrageously creative and varying ideas for what system Skyrim will be on next, and further outside (sorry we have to do all of this walking) we have our official The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Rocket Ship. What we will do with this is we will fill the space ship with copies of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and send it to the Mars. This way all alien life forms will be able to enjoy The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Of course for the Nintendo Switch because they only have 4 fingers per hand). After all of these martians have enjoyed their copy of Skyrim, there will be the Mars voyager participants who are sent to mars where they will live there never to return and play The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the rest of their lives. After every organism on mars dies due to the nuke we're sending there in 2042, we will release the longest awaited game from Bethesda of all time... That's right. You guessed it.

Edward Lueras TODD HOWARD !!! have you heard the story ? once apon a time there was a guy called Todd, his dads mate worked at Bethesda as a animator , and Todd wanted to work there ,so asked the manager there if he could come in and watch the people work on the games. he was denied and was told he was too young and to come back later in life when he was older, and so Todd did just that. at 19 he went back. he was denied again and 3 years later and ten years later he's the director of his own studio and most successful department at zenimax.
Years later and I'm still coming back to rewatch this. I wonder how many developers still work here and how their overall experience has been over the years
@@zecrocodile3374 you're definitely not wrong. Their games were glitchy as hell, but despite that, fuckin legendary. The numbers dont lie. Skyrim was a masterpiece that's continuing to make them money nearly a decade later
same. Bethesda, Bioware and Larian Studios=my holy trinity for RPG's..then again I was smart enough to not buy F76 due to knowing it wont b a real FO game (kinda hard to make another FO game when u just released one a few yrs ago)
The BobRoss timer on twitch is very similar to the Fallout 4 timer on steam. Now Bethesda have a picture of Bob Ross. I wonder if somehow they are both related.
+Cloud Strife Bethesda games make people happy, Bob Ross paintings make people happy. What if 2 happiness combined? COTTON CANDY LAND FULL OF KITTENS, UNICORNS, BUTTERFLIES, AND RAINBOW.
2:00 "the documentation doesn't matter." Do you want a duplication glitch in all of your games? Because that is how you get a duplication glitch in all. Of your games.
I always liked Todd Howard, its a shame about the 76 mess. I hope he can make a come back in the same way No Man's Sky's Sean Murray did. Although adding MTX to 76 was the opposite of the right direction, however that might have been suits in top of Bethesda decision to try scrape money from a wasted project rather than listening to creative heads to bring the game back. Its all down to Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6 now.
BGS didn't make 76, literally all they did was have about a dozen senior devs available for consultation and then when the new engine was finished several program leads helped BattleCry studios program the game to said new engine build. 76 was made because literally hundreds of thousands of people have hounded BGS since FO3 came out for a Fallout MMO, so Zenimax went ahead and had one made, hell BLACK ISLE who everyone jerks off for the original games were working on a Fallout MMO. The hate for the game is pathetic and childish just like the people who cry about it all the time
That's probably why they can't fix bugs, because they don't keep documentation of what they hell they did or are doing so that they can fix it in the future
@@dandin9314 True, but when your project is this large in scope, you NEED it. They already take 5+ years minimum for new titles in general, adding another year max just to account for documentation ain’t much.
I am going to try my hardest to get a position as a graphics designer/ graphics programmer because Bethesda game studios seems like the most amazing experience to work at.
Brian Cannon There is a young lad who did try to get Bethesda's attention by making a mod that lasted for around 24 hours. He even had voice acting and music set up for that. I don't think Bethesda ever commented on that and the guy instead was employed by Bungie.
Years ago as a young lad I wrote a letter to Godd Howard, even tho I don't think he got it, watching this again makes me still find him as chill as back then
I'm curious. What type of education is required to work as a game designer there? I'm assuming at least a Bachelor's Degree, but if anyone actually knows, I'd appreciate your comment.
I’m a concept artist at a games studio in Europe (I don’t think I’m allowed to be anymore specific) and it’s by far the most relaxed part of the company. You draw all day, which is obviously awesome, and you basically kinda draw what you want. It’s by no means as large as Bethesda, so it’s a smaller team with more freedom. It’s extremely satisfying to see your ideas into the final product. I’d say that artists are overlooked though by gamers, they don’t really understand that before 3D models, and before photoshop sketches, it’s all just pencil and paper.
Adam Adamowicz did exactly that, ALL of his designs were on giant 24x36 sheets mostly using pastels and graphite If you go to Bethesda's Flickr they have several albums dedicated to Adam's work all of them scanned at full size so they are in extremely good detail. The world lost an awesome person and an amazing artist, I wish his wife would have the rest of his stuff scanned he had SO many sketches that I think deserve to be seen
He kept it real on that one. I wonder though if he would still hold to that opinion in public now that he's collaborating with Lucasfilmgames/Disney on a new Indiana Jones game.
Thank it was pretty cool to see your place. I am a 68 year old gamer and I think I play all the old and new games you had on the shelf upstairs. The games have come so far sense the old days of just seeing letters and words on the screen instead of graphics we have today. I was lucky to be one of the testers for ESO before it came out. I play it every day now and love the graphics. Thanks for the tour of your place. Keep up the GREAT WORK Thanks Again.

@@cinnamon-skateboarding5987 It would be really awesome, but I don't think they'd need a geologist :D Maybe if a studio needed realistic mountains and terrain mapping, I could try to apply.
I got into coding thinking I wanted to be a game dev since I love videos games... once I actually did my research and learned that the hours were nuts and there was a lot of math involved I dipped out on that idea. I am a web developer now and am plenty happy and making great income.

Cool to see that they kinda made the Institute in Fallout 4 after their HQ.
i love the bob ross pic at 3:00
Why is that even there

ad victoriam let's nuke em brother
and the Father is Todd hahahahaha
@Fire God Ignia The leader of the institute is called father.
It probably gave them the idea of the institute elevator
@@windowsxp899 no duhh people that get this know,just because you know the game doesn't mean you have to say it for everyone and I don't give a fuck

I've always liked this guy
Edward Lueras TODD HOWARD !!!
have you heard the story ?
once apon a time there was a guy called Todd, his dads mate worked at Bethesda as a animator , and Todd wanted to work there ,so asked the manager there if he could come in and watch the people work on the games. he was denied and was told he was too young and to come back later in life when he was older, and so Todd did just that. at 19 he went back. he was denied again and 3 years later and ten years later he's the director of his own studio and most successful department at zenimax.
Edward Lueras You mean Godd Howard? He's amazing.
To this day Skyrim is definitely one of if not the best game I’ve ever played
I live an hour away from this studio!
FelisVicarious Wow, that’s lucky!
Same for me by metro. I visited there last summer (just took some pics outside though)
And so does the studio clip through the gound or not?
Just make sure todd howard doesnt knock and tells you to buy skyrim
DG wth
This was before the skyrim trailer so about 5 years ago, I wonder what they have now.
A shrine to Todd
That will be a new shrine for TES: VI
Todd will be the new Aedra lord.
And the nine became ten, when Todd ascended the mortal realm as a god among men!
:-D true
If you're a person who likes games in general, I bet working there is a dream
And imagine getting fuckin paid for this dream
killerdevil980 Ik
yes
Years later and I'm still coming back to rewatch this. I wonder how many developers still work here and how their overall experience has been over the years
I'm 99% straight, but 1% of my gayness goes to this man.
I ain't gay but if I would kiss a man, Todd is my first choice
SAMEEEE
No homo
if I worked at Bethesda I would cry when I would have to go home
its an large office building with a damn chef! whos to say there isnt a shower and sleep quarters hahahah
its like a vault

4:15 Perfect song for working out.
10 years and still can't get by how amazing todd is with people
its been 8 years, and i have yet to play Skryim as anything else other than vanilla.
I still love it.
Also wtf TH-cam.

How haven't you played skyrim? I thought everyone has played it by now lol
Well met kinsman..

@@eldersnowball6890
i know plenty of people who haven't played Skyrim and only play Fortnite 24/7.
This makes me sad....The good old days when Bethesda was making the worlds best games...Can we go back to 2011 please?
You mean 1996?
@Max RV acceptable
Don't worry they will come back......maybe.......I think
Bethesda was always a trashfire studio, every game was glitchy and broken. Don't act like it's news now.
@@zecrocodile3374 you're definitely not wrong. Their games were glitchy as hell, but despite that, fuckin legendary. The numbers dont lie. Skyrim was a masterpiece that's continuing to make them money nearly a decade later
I freaking love Todd Howard
God Howard
+Todd The Toddler Howard you are everywhere
Who wouldn't wanna come here, hug Todd and hear his amazing Dreams & Stories about his ideas about The Elder Scrolls
and punch him in the crotch for making fallout 76
Even though 76 was a dumpster fire I just can't stay mad at Todd
same. Bethesda, Bioware and Larian Studios=my holy trinity for RPG's..then again I was smart enough to not buy F76 due to knowing it wont b a real FO game (kinda hard to make another FO game when u just released one a few yrs ago)
They did their best, it wasnt a good mix
Aggressively American with them released fallout 1st subscription do you feel the same way still?
Same glad to see some people who thot like me
Your not American
The BobRoss timer on twitch is very similar to the Fallout 4 timer on steam. Now Bethesda have a picture of Bob Ross. I wonder if somehow they are both related.
+Cloud Strife you realize this was made in 2011 right?
Jonathan Wood Yes xD
+Cloud Strife Bethesda games make people happy, Bob Ross paintings make people happy. What if 2 happiness combined? COTTON CANDY LAND FULL OF KITTENS, UNICORNS, BUTTERFLIES, AND RAINBOW.
+Cloud Strife when they are doing game art work they hear Bob Ross in their head his voice telling you no u fuck do it like me
+Cloud Strife You know, this whole thing could just be one happy little accident? :D
2:00 "the documentation doesn't matter." Do you want a duplication glitch in all of your games? Because that is how you get a duplication glitch in all. Of your games.
So smart
I wanted
I love duplication glitches lmao. You don't have to do them, but when you play their games for the 30th time, I always fuck around and dupe shit.
I always liked Todd Howard, its a shame about the 76 mess. I hope he can make a come back in the same way No Man's Sky's Sean Murray did. Although adding MTX to 76 was the opposite of the right direction, however that might have been suits in top of Bethesda decision to try scrape money from a wasted project rather than listening to creative heads to bring the game back. Its all down to Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6 now.
BGS didn't make 76, literally all they did was have about a dozen senior devs available for consultation and then when the new engine was finished several program leads helped BattleCry studios program the game to said new engine build.
76 was made because literally hundreds of thousands of people have hounded BGS since FO3 came out for a Fallout MMO, so Zenimax went ahead and had one made, hell BLACK ISLE who everyone jerks off for the original games were working on a Fallout MMO. The hate for the game is pathetic and childish just like the people who cry about it all the time
Kenny McDonald the MVP.
No matter what's happened with bethesda through the years, I'll always love todd and his team for bringing me skyrim:)
what an amazing place to work in, living the dream guys
"The documentation isn't what matters, it's what is in the game that matters."
Oh... oh no, Todd.
I'm sorry Todd but that is the wrong answer. You are not smarter than a 5th grader
That's probably why they can't fix bugs, because they don't keep documentation of what they hell they did or are doing so that they can fix it in the future
"Working software over comprehensive documentation" is an Agile principle
@@dandin9314 True, but when your project is this large in scope, you NEED it. They already take 5+ years minimum for new titles in general, adding another year max just to account for documentation ain’t much.
@@FallenDanish Yes, I guess that is true. Especially when they re-release this game many times
Would of been nice to see this video 7 years ago
Agreed.
Just go back and watch it then instead of complaining
@@lartpourlart3896 Todd stop using this fake accounts
I am going to try my hardest to get a position as a graphics designer/ graphics programmer because Bethesda game studios seems like the most amazing experience to work at.
Same I would love to work for them!
I want to work at Valve but that will never happen.
caleb hooper Of course it will! It's as likely as Half Life 3 being released.
Couldnt have said it better myself
Brian Cannon There is a young lad who did try to get Bethesda's attention by making a mod that lasted for around 24 hours. He even had voice acting and music set up for that. I don't think Bethesda ever commented on that and the guy instead was employed by Bungie.
MTV Cribs: God Howard gives tour of heaven
Years ago as a young lad I wrote a letter to Godd Howard, even tho I don't think he got it, watching this again makes me still find him as chill as back then
You don't even know how much of a dream it is for me to one day work there as Game Designer
I'm curious. What type of education is required to work as a game designer there? I'm assuming at least a Bachelor's Degree, but if anyone actually knows, I'd appreciate your comment.
Cody Tyerman thx
D Moneyy You are not good enough, nor will you be. I will be the best game designer.
@@xPhantomxify Based on your arrogance and immediate dismissal of somone else, I don't see you getting far.

I’m a concept artist at a games studio in Europe (I don’t think I’m allowed to be anymore specific) and it’s by far the most relaxed part of the company. You draw all day, which is obviously awesome, and you basically kinda draw what you want. It’s by no means as large as Bethesda, so it’s a smaller team with more freedom. It’s extremely satisfying to see your ideas into the final product. I’d say that artists are overlooked though by gamers, they don’t really understand that before 3D models, and before photoshop sketches, it’s all just pencil and paper.
Adam Adamowicz did exactly that, ALL of his designs were on giant 24x36 sheets mostly using pastels and graphite
If you go to Bethesda's Flickr they have several albums dedicated to Adam's work all of them scanned at full size so they are in extremely good detail. The world lost an awesome person and an amazing artist, I wish his wife would have the rest of his stuff scanned he had SO many sketches that I think deserve to be seen
I appreciate you! Without you drawing concept ideas, we wouldnt have what we do so I myself DO care about you my friend! Greetings from the USA

Especially in the writing department where they don't do any work!
And this is why capitalism wins. Go home tø gulag, comrade.
Thats why the elder scrolls and fallout 3 have good writing right?

I love how he just casually mentions disliking crystal skull.
He kept it real on that one. I wonder though if he would still hold to that opinion in public now that he's collaborating with Lucasfilmgames/Disney on a new Indiana Jones game.
They used to work from the basement! ONE OF US ONE OF US!
Todd Howard is such a legend! every RPG gamers will know who he was 100 years later and what a amazing game he created for every human in this world
Btw the laser rifle was made by harrison krix aka volpin props, would have been nice if todd mentioned that
Thank it was pretty cool to see your place. I am a 68 year old gamer and I think I play all the old and new games you had on the shelf upstairs. The games have come so far sense the old days of just seeing letters and words on the screen instead of graphics we have today. I was lucky to be one of the testers for ESO before it came out. I play it every day now and love the graphics.
Thanks for the tour of your place. Keep up the GREAT WORK Thanks Again.
Hope you’re still gaming!
