Todd Howard seems like an evil super villain. He talks so smoothly and calmly, and every line he delivers sounds like he's hinting at something with it. Kind of spooks me.
Notch:"I saw a speedrun with someone beating Oblivion in like seven minutes or something-" Godd Howard:"Yeah, there was a g-gg... we call it a 'feature'"
I get that feeling that at any moment Todd Howard is gonna say: “Don’t use the word ‘Scrolls’ in the title of your game” And then he straight up kills notch...
Justin B Todd Howard stated at E3 that they started designing Fallout 4 in 2009, after 3. After reading and watching many interviews with bethesda and Todd, the way it works is that they have 2 projects, the main one where most of the focus is at, and then the side project that, after the main project is completed, will take its place. Its a really good tactic actually, but yes
+Simme Rocky LoL, wanted to say something similar... like, that 3 years ago...in time this interview took place, Todd secretly is making Fallout 4... and NOBODY KNOWS except for development team obviously ! Oh man, they are some sneaky developers :D
Honestly if I were in his position I'd be so worried about saying something stupid and ruining a massive connect for future shit. Like, imagine having the potential to team up with Todd on something, even if its just a texture pack...and you say something dumb and he just throttles you on camera before devouring your soul.
And Apparently Notch is a billionaire just because of Minecraft. From this conversation, Todd Howard has way more to bring to the table. Either Todd Howard should be a trillionaire, or Notch is worth way too much for making one damned game, the graphics and stuff which were very inferior to a modern game like Skyrim (i.e., far less effort).
I've dreamed about skyrim before, and minecraft. But never Godd himself. You must be the prophet. Go. Go to every Wendy's and seek him out. If you find him...perhaps he will bestow upon you the sacred real trailer for TES6. Perhaps a free copy of Starfield. Perhaps just beat you over the head with a copy of skyrim.
is this why fallout 4 is horribly unbalanced and has boring quests, the story is just the opposite of fallout 3, instead of your dad leaving vault its your son leaving vault and he was taken. than you find him leader of some big project ringin any bells?
+Luis R. PC MASTER RACE WILL TAKE OVER.. .SOON ALL WILL KNOW ABOUT THEM ALMIGHT STEAM SUMMER SALES.. AND ALL WILL FLOCK LIKE ITS FUCKING NOAS ARK... ONE DAY THE TRUTH WILL BE TOLD!! AND ONE DAY THE CONSOLES WILL HAVE TO MAKE A DESKTOP!!! AND ON THAT DAY... I might consider buying one.
Gabe worked at Microsoft at gaming department.Todd mentions Xbox is great place to experience their games .Notch is swedish .Pc is just another system to play on ,get over it neck beards
Bromaster 86 vaaaaaat? for someone being there from the very beginning, he's very young. wich means, more games to look forward to in the comming years, wooo!
And more ideas Notch had one good games Todd had multiple best selling games under his belt. Don't get me wrong I appreciate mine craft the game, but Notch obviously is a one hit wonder
+Daniel Lopez I think it is worth mentioning that Notch's one-hit wonder generated him a personal net worth of $1.5 Billion dollars, while Todd Howard's income isn't even listed.
Joel West It was really Zenimax more then bethesda, Also Markus probably had a laugh because he tried to settle it with a duel in quake 3, hes a funny guy
There's rarely any game dev's that openly state the games that inspire them, Ubisoft only mentioned Red Dead Redemption when people picked out the similarities. Todd straight away mentioned the inspirations.
It's funny how those two where already discussing the Skyrim Minecraft mashup back then Right after Skyrim was released and to see those two together was pretty cool good video definitely worth watching
This is such a great look inside these developers thought processes. I love how Todd said we'll call it a feature referencing a glitch lol. And notch spoke about adding the end into mine craft. Its interesting
You can tell how awkward it was when they realize they were accidentally mentioning and alluding to flaws in their games. Like oblivions balancing problem.
You gotta role play a character in Elder Scrolls games, write a story using the game and it's lore as a base. Makes everything that happens in the game better.
Watching this again 12 years later, was such a special time in gaming history! I really enjoyed both these games and were very influential. Can see now why Skyrim added the Notch pickaxe on top of the one mountain!
It's really funny how they (Bethesda) went completely off their philosophy for Fallout 4. Todd's talking about how their general directive of giving the player tons of options and letting them do what they want is what the majority of their fans want. He even mentions how having Fallout 3 end was something that the fans didn't like, and how they thought it was good, but it doesn't quite work out. Then Fallout 4 comes along and what do they do? They quadruple-down on everything. Sure, the game doesn't "end" when you finish the story, but the entire game IS the story. All of the factions are firmly embedded within the main story. They give your character attachments that are embedded within the story. Most of the main NPCs are discovered while you're going through the motions of completing the main story. Like half the companions have a vested interest in the main story. You can't escape it. I really hope they learned their lesson with FO4 and they take a few steps back. The fans do not want voiced main characters. We want to read our responses and offer supplement our own internal monologue. We want to have a game full of option side quests, not a game that is full of one huge main quest and a few side quests here and there. We want to explore interesting towns and settlements and find interesting and unique people who give us quests with various outcomes and unique stories. We don't want to build half the wasteland and do tons of repetitive "radiant" quests. Bethesda needs to return to the philosophy Todd spoke about in this video.
It's interesting watching this now and knowing that Bethesda is actually coming out with a Skyrim for consoles that will have mods. Like for the past who knows how long Todd's been wanting mods on the console and now his dream is coming and has come to fruition.
And this interaction between these two people is probably why we have more crafting in Fallout 4
Truuue
+Mikaël Barker shhh don't ruin it.
+Chase H I love you
***** Sadly it was quite the afterthought and it shows...
+Chase H sadly notch sold minecraft
Todd Howard could explain his morning poo and it would be interesting.
+Schruk haha indeed.
+Schruk His pooping technique is dynamic
+Hot Shame and the audios are great.
i like how notch looks and when he explains everything hes interesting too :D and yeah its interesting!!!
you're fucking everywhere you tool
Todd Howard's voice is just something special...
Bruva Nathan he is a weird man ... in a good way lol
Bruva Nathan Always thinking how to improve his game i bet
oscar marin I think he is just awkward and kinda shy. Guy is huge nerd.
emceha Well yeah, thats what makes him a God.
Bruva Nathan it gives me an orgasm
Todd Howard seems like an evil super villain. He talks so smoothly and calmly, and every line he delivers sounds like he's hinting at something with it. Kind of spooks me.
Izaya Bleckworthy Im glad I'm not the only one who noticed. Serious Dennis Reynolds vibes.
He flirts lmao
That’s because Todd is an evil super villain.
With a silky smooth voice
And he's a snacc. Just like every super villain.
notch can feel todd's eyes piercing his soul
Todds more chilled then an ice cold nuka cola

Tod Howard looks like he is giving everyone "Sexy eyes".

He's, like, the only person who can successfully pull off the "wanna f*ck" eyes...
+Kallum FRY Brookes. okay
+Kallum FRY Brookes
it's just that his charisma and speech skills are really high.
+Kallum FRY Brookes ... he looks exhausted.

Eeeeh no.

He looks like a 12 year old?

Then a meme born
My favorite part of this video lmfao
8:10
Notch : "YEAH?!"
Oh God he really said that! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I get that feeling that at any moment Todd Howard is gonna say:
“Don’t use the word ‘Scrolls’ in the title of your game”
And then he straight up kills notch...
Neith Almighty Its Bethesda's legal team that started the whole fiasco, but yeah XD
Xx simone xX I'm pretty sure Zenimax had a hand in it
+Neith Almighty I don't get it
+Neith Almighty yea same here his face expresion was just screaming it at us
comment of the year XD
This is the reason the notched pickaxe is on the mountain
ElfGuardianBattles No, the reason for that is because Bethesda sued Mojang for a game they called Scrolls and so they added that to say sorry..
Bruva Nathan That was after Skyrim came out wasn't it?
SamuriLemonX18 Hmm it might have been now that i think about it, not sure.
ElfGuardianBattles And for why there's a Minecraft Skyrim map.
***** Oh fucking Zenimax.
Todd needs to be a lawyer he can crack even the toughest criminals to convince their murder. or seduce any one
That could work, actually. The man who founded ZeniMax is a lawyer.
Speech 100
Honestly. I took my pants off 1 minute into the interview.

And then they made minecraft skyrim edition 😂
Lol true

They actually did. Check the marketplace
SkyBorik he’s not making a joke
I can't stop thinking that Todd knows that they making fallout 4 during this interview!
Justin B they begun before the Skyrim release. (Get your facts right)
Justin B i says that on WIKIA.
Justin B Todd Howard stated at E3 that they started designing Fallout 4 in 2009, after 3. After reading and watching many interviews with bethesda and Todd, the way it works is that they have 2 projects, the main one where most of the focus is at, and then the side project that, after the main project is completed, will take its place.

Justin B They stated the concept after Fallout 3 and full development after Skyrim.
+Simme Rocky LoL, wanted to say something similar... like, that 3 years ago...in time this interview took place, Todd secretly is making Fallout 4... and NOBODY KNOWS except for development team obviously ! Oh man, they are some sneaky developers :D
I'd like to see Todd Howard, Sam and Dan Houser of Rockstar games and Gabe Newell of Valve sit around the same table.
Mother of God...
No, just add Hideo Kojima and then you have the best in the game industry.
thewhitezombie666 Why? What's wrong with him?
thewhitezombie666 I'll admit he probably doesn't know when to stop, but overall I quite like him.
You mean...the god?!
6:30
Todd Howard: I'm an Iphone guy
Notch: Nah, I'm an android guy
hahahahah
Fallout Shelter is proof
0:55 "I'm aware of that" Kek
acalarmarrrr I founded that funny.
acalarmarrrr kekekekekeeee
LOLOLOLOL
Notch is like a nervous 12 year old fan of Todd's
True
Honestly if I were in his position I'd be so worried about saying something stupid and ruining a massive connect for future shit. Like, imagine having the potential to team up with Todd on something, even if its just a texture pack...and you say something dumb and he just throttles you on camera before devouring your soul.
I can sense that Todd is desperately trying to level with this guy. But Todd 's charisma is at 10 and his is at 1.
If Todd was trying to speak swedish, it be the other way.
And Apparently Notch is a billionaire just because of Minecraft. From this conversation, Todd Howard has way more to bring to the table. Either Todd Howard should be a trillionaire, or Notch is worth way too much for making one damned game, the graphics and stuff which were very inferior to a modern game like Skyrim (i.e., far less effort).
Sage Mantis are you simple or just trolling?
Imyournewpeppep I'm stating facts.
yeah okay i cant be bothered
There's a lot of hinting towards Xbox Fallout 4 mods in this vid
DOVAHKIIN BRAH No shit
Flip/Side He stated in another interview that he's been trying to get Microsoft to offer modding since 2001
Flip/Side fuck you are right
Flip/Side he totally is this is really cool
Flip/Side agreed and the 1.9 update for Minecraft with better combat
Tod seems oddly flirty
;)
Lmao
this happens when you maxed charisma and intelligence lol
cloveraby Speech 100
Friendly Sand Man U have 111 likes go to vault 111
Lmfao. Notch is so little and Todd is just a friendly sociopath
Friendly neighborhood sociopath lol
I had a dream Todd Howard was eating applesauce real hard at Wendy's.
+Pete Mitchell happened to me last tuesday
Which Wendy's
I've dreamed about skyrim before, and minecraft. But never Godd himself.
You must be the prophet.
Go.
Go to every Wendy's and seek him out. If you find him...perhaps he will bestow upon you the sacred real trailer for TES6.
Perhaps a free copy of Starfield.
Perhaps just beat you over the head with a copy of skyrim.
Well now I know how the Minecraft 360 edition Skyrim Mashup pack was born

IS THIS WHY FALLOUT 4 HAS SO MANY BUILDING FEATURES????!?!?!?
I'm pretty sure he Todd Howard referenced Minecraft at pre-E3 unveiling of Fallout 4 last year. Could be mistaken.
+BigDippas I remember in last year's E3 they spoke about Minecraft and terraria a bit when talking about FO4 building feature.
Or because they want to pump out THREE FUCKING BUILDING DLC'S
is this why fallout 4 is horribly unbalanced and has boring quests, the story is just the opposite of fallout 3, instead of your dad leaving vault its your son leaving vault and he was taken. than you find him leader of some big project ringin any bells?
+BlazeWeedM9 you know the story has always been the same right find something that's important to you or a lot of people and get stuck in some stuff

Todd, Todd never changes.
Todd's facial expression basically says "I'm a god compared to you"
Stephen Luce Godd*
They are both gods
Minecraft has sold more copies than the elder scrolls franchise. Who is the real god
minecraft doesn't even come remotely close to TES/Fallout.
4 years later.... Its not anymore.
when Notch said "the release date doesn't really matter." Todd has this look on his face like yeah the fuck it does bitch.
Well you have no idea what you’re talking about lmfao
Todd's been drinking some of that fountain of forever youth juice.
It's really great to see these 2 masterminds appreciating each others art.
Notch got lucky one time. How about his game scrolls? Does anybody even care about that? No.
Todd howard is intimidating as fuck in this interview
I think I am in love with Todd...
+Joanna Edwards I think we all are
Todd Howard: "We're both very alike, but I have actual talent."
Couldn't agree more
And more ideas Notch had one good games Todd had multiple best selling games under his belt. Don't get me wrong I appreciate mine craft the game, but Notch obviously is a one hit wonder
+Daniel Lopez I think it is worth mentioning that Notch's one-hit wonder generated him a personal net worth of $1.5 Billion dollars, while Todd Howard's income isn't even listed.

These is a real life oblivion conversation

The foreshadowing is amazing.
And now they're both owned by Microsoft.
😹😹

Couple years later, one became a billionaire. Off of a single video game.
Unheard of. He created the best selling game of all time.
I'm so happy that Todd enjoys Rockstar games! My two favorite game developers ever.
not anymore after they became apprentices to Darth EA and introduced microtransactions
Matt Allen Not Rockstar’s fault. It’s Take-twos.
Whoa this 3-years comeback!
Now they are just greedy scumbags milking money from GTA Online shark cards.
your favorite game dev??? are you serious? have you even play fallout 76? the latest patch brought the old bugs and glitches back onto the game.
Awesome seeing this again all these years later. Lots of hype for stuff then and lots now :)
This is one of my favorite interviews on TH-cam. You can see the creative energy that they both possess. Imagine if these two created a game together.
It's felt like Rick and the governor. Minus the hostility.
only the walking dead fans will know...
It's funny how those two where already discussing the Skyrim Minecraft mashup back then Right after Skyrim was released and to see those two together was pretty cool good video definitely worth watching
just how Tod is sitting there and his face says I am a God bow down to me peasant
"Microsoft really wants kinect to work with everything" and then it didn't
+Gadget Freehan the best is Howard response to that xD
I can't believe I'm watching this for the first time in 2023 lmao

So weird, its 2016 and now were are past what they are talking about. Console mods, Skyrim remastered already.. so amazing
It's crazy to watch the with the info we have now about fallout and minecraft.
I think because of this interview we have to kill a dragon to finish Minecraft :D
I think I'm gonna be like Todd when I grow up. Really calm and awkward.
Solaire of Astora To me calm people usually isn't awkward, he really is a master at what he does ;)
Todd Howard, voiced by David Spade
I cant unhear it. Thats a psychological flash bang
This is such a great look inside these developers thought processes. I love how Todd said we'll call it a feature referencing a glitch lol. And notch spoke about adding the end into mine craft. Its interesting
Notch: I saw someone speedrun Oblivion in 7 minutes.
Todd Howard: there's a bu- gl- we'll just call it a feature...

damn this interaction is a hidden gem
Mad respect for both these guys.

+fumble butt
These are facts.
Todd confirmed console mods years before they were released
Amazing what you can find browsing through GI's playlists
I really like these guys. I could hear them talk for hours and hours.
Todd should consider volunteering for some Librivox recordings. He has a really soothing voice
Both made immortal games that still played to this day, Skyrim and Minecraft.
