Spoder Men Yes it has a vast lore but the games themselves dont have good stories. The games stories are rather dull while the lore is interesting. I'd rather play a game set between the time of Oblivion and Skyrim than Oblivion. That's why I believe setting/immersion is a stronger point than the story. Why we get sucked into bethesda games arent the stories but the vast maps and highly interactive environments.
Ive never really been big about watching interviews from game devs cause they are normally sorta awkward but i could listen to todd howard talk for hours.
For all of its flaws, Skyrim is still an unparalleled work of art in 2014. TES VI is going to be absolutely unfathomable- enough to make people quit their careers and pursue game development.
that is the stupidest assumption ever. there is no info about fo4 yet. if its anything to go by fallout 3 was a very good game. it will be as big of a leap that oblivion was to skyrim
fellow fallout 4 anticipator No i kind of agree, although i loved fallout 3, at the end of the day your in a barren, dead, radioactive landscape. Ask yourself how much can Bethesda do with this art style? Whereas when TES VI comes out, itll be in Eleswyer (idk how to spell it) or Black Marsh etc, but just imagine what living beauties they can create in these environments !!! I do think TES VI will be more phenomenal than FO4.
dont get me wrong, art style is very important to a game. i just think that fallout's universe/ art style is just very unique: retro futurism where the american way of life is bieng compromised by the chinese communist invaders , propaganda ect ect. raiders, punk style wasteland armor. atmospheric music and themetune. memorable characters. if the rumors about it bieng set in boston are true. then with the power of next gen we will be able to go inside most buildings and explore a fully blown city. imagine the immersion you could feel knowing that you could get jumped by a group of super mutants or a punk like band of raiders. when FO4 does eventually come out , it will be very awsome.
@@EpicWarrior131 Actually, you are both right and wrong. Yes, I was hopping on the hate train for a little spin, It's really more of a therapeutic break for me. And second of all I was not actually thinking of 76 specifically and more of the "It just works" Skyrim bugs, fallout 3 and 4 bugs. But since you mentioned it. While it's true Fallout 76 did get better, it still had one of the most ridiculous paywalls for quality of life improvements to the game I have ever seen. Not that I've been paying much attention to Bethesda since my comment from, what was it,1 year ago? Huh, felt like longer. I did hear they got purchased by Microsoft, so that's something to look forward to I guess.
TenkGrow Going to listen carfully in his latest interviews see if anything stands out for the new elder scrolls game. if you watch his old interviews after fallout 3 some of the stuff he brings up or puts in his answers stand out now with the new animation for skyrim/fallout 4, fallout shelter and the mods. watch the interview he had with Notch.
"oh kids today you don't know what it's like when comptuters run out of memory" Todd looks really uncomfortable there because he is still dealing with that issue. He knows that Xbox 360 ran out of memory years ago. They've had to make many compromises in Oblivion, F3 and Skyrim.
That's fine when you've played through the game before. But when you start you don't know what you'll class you'll ultimately play (even if you already intended to play as another), or which abilities will actually benefit you the most. Allowing organic growth fixes that a lot better. Some stuff like smithing and alchemy doesn't work as organically with that system because it kind of forces you into using it artificially just to level it up, but for the most part it is a strong step forward.
***** You're misunderstanding something here, those games being console only has nothing to do with pc. The reason they are console exclusives (either timed or permanent) is money, not because 'consoles are better' or any of that bullshit. You're also mentioning indie games in your argument, same applies here, money. How do you expect an indie dev without the money of a big publisher pushing out a game that is actually pushing the limits of our current technology? they can't is the answer. That the hardware of consoles is very weak compared to what is available in the PC world is a fact. This however doesn't mean that pc exclusives have to be or look better. We are however seeing some interesting pc exclusive projects that seem to push the limits, star citizen being the most prominent one.
Engine isn't all there is to graphics you know? You still need 3d models, textures, level design, animations etc etc. Seriously, if you think having an engine is all there is to making a game you're gravely mistaken..
"The Next Wave of RPGs Is About Characters" Fallout 4 got announced and the characters on this game are completely changed. We will now have for the first time ever voiced characters in a Bethesda game. They've been talking for Fallout 4 for years....
even if he told a few things that weren't exactly true, he still is a brilliant game developer. Skyrim is one of the only games that keeps me coming back for more. GOTY well deserved. all the patches and updates are proof of his and his teams devotions. I think it's unfair to say he's a liar only because of a few false statements, while he made us so many awesome games.
Its been 4 yrs and i still play and find this game the best ever with all the mods. These guys along with Valve and rockstar have to step up put pc gaming on the radar again and Ubisoft, Microsoft, Acttivision etc will follow suit.
Im just happy that Todd is around to keep PC RPGs strong...now with Wasteland 2 coming I hope that a certain company comes to their senses with the "consolification" of their RPGs...I want a ME sequal and Dragon Age sequel that live up to the originals...and sigh..Ultima reference...Lord B...how bout NOT creating shopping games and get back to making a meaty RPG?
Umm, I'm going to say you played the game on normal or easy... I played thought the whole game on Expert, and recently Master and you defiantly have a hard time being the "chosen one" as you get your ass handed to you by an Elder dragon...
I agree, though NV had more things like crafting and iron sights it was a whole lot less stable and more crash-prone and the warm orange feel just doesn't mix well with the idea of post-apocalyptic scenario, Fallout 3 feels better in comparison. Though it can still improve, Fallout 4 needs to look at the modding community for inspiration.
I love how humble he is when Wil gushes at the start, even though he is truly a legendary game developer.

Oh my god, Will is a very good interviewer
+SaGe OwL i was thinking the same thing. sooo much better than most interviewers.
I think the irony is Elder Scrolls strong point isn't story. It's setting.
The story and lore of the Elder Scrolls series is vaster than any other game.
Spoder Men Yes it has a vast lore but the games themselves dont have good stories. The games stories are rather dull while the lore is interesting. I'd rather play a game set between the time of Oblivion and Skyrim than Oblivion. That's why I believe setting/immersion is a stronger point than the story.

Open MGE. Fog off. Now Daggerfall is better.

IT JUST WORKS.

Fo sho
Means a lot to have Todd say he loves my video! Thanks for letting me know guys!
I love your video
I have just been watching a ton of todd howard interviews and stuff like that, because I really want fallout 4
Clue: E 3 2 0 1 5
rebillion76 NO! TES VI!
Xermephos You're setting yourself up for some serious disappointment buddy. TES VI wont be out for at least 3-5 years.
1davidsworld still worth the wait
1davidsworld
I can wait : )
For all of its flaws, Skyrim is still an unparalleled work of art in 2014. TES VI is going to be absolutely unfathomable- enough to make people quit their careers and pursue game development.
bethesda's next big game will be Fallout 4.
true, I'm not confident Fallout 4 will be big enough to make much difference over Fallout 3, though.
that is the stupidest assumption ever. there is no info about fo4 yet. if its anything to go by fallout 3 was a very good game. it will be as big of a leap that oblivion was to skyrim

I like Todd Howard. Seems like a good guy
+Robert Donohue Oh, just wait and see what happens next ....
Who knows, you may become a follower
@@evildebellator9851 Or the sequel.
It's staged lol
Ty Mr. Wheaton and Mr. Howard. You're both incredible people and talents.
Oh man he mentioned Ultima 6 which is my favourite retro game!
Todd howard, hes just the best.
It shows in his games, i desperatky want to work at bethesda game studios. I mean jesus
fallout 76
Whooo, that aged poorly.
@@bartholemeowthefirst no it didn't. U hopped on the hate wagon over one game that's actually good now after updates
@@nonGigi and?

now that fallout 4 is announced, these interviews have new perspectives
StratAttacka Most definitely! I'm going on a marathon of Todd Howard interviews for sure!

blahblahmehable Excellent point. He does reveal some things in his interviews.
And now with Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield
Gotta do what ya gotta do! Thanks for a great interview. Someone who asks the right questions, imagine that!
Didn't notice it until you mentioned it. Now I can't unsee it!
(In Jim Parsons' voice)
Thats Will Wheaton!
Feeling is mutual, thank you too. Although a very rare thing nowadays, it is nice to see someone who can argue properly on the internet.
"oh kids today you don't know what it's like when comptuters run out of memory"
Todd looks really uncomfortable there because he is still dealing with that issue. He knows that Xbox 360 ran out of memory years ago. They've had to make many compromises in Oblivion, F3 and Skyrim.
Todd president of the world, now.
You earned it dude, keep up the good work man!
This aged for sure, it's like in true crime when everything is going really well but then you remember what show you're watching.
He reminds me of a game designer version of J.J Abrams for some reason xD
totally xD
+zDuo GamingHD Both successful in dumbing down their franchises.
zDuo GamingHD OMG THIS IS SCARILY ACCURATE
zDuo GamingHD Dude, great observation.
came here to rage at todd howard but then i watched the video and he won my heart again
the series is actually called "the great battles of skyrim" and made by a youtuber called Tyrannicon go check it out guys
This guy is dope.
Wil Wheaton is my hero, and todd howard too.
You are my hero Shigur
6:18 HOW COOL IS THAT
Kneel before Todd.
I used to not kneel like you then i took an arrow in the knee!
I used to kneel like you, then I took fallout 76 to the knee
Zero people have tried to make him take an arrow to the knee? Faith in humanity restored.
I'm glad that somebody else on youtube can actually debate something without being a trolled, five-year old conversation and for that I thank you.
the god of gods,Todd.

The youtuber Todd is talking about is called Tyrannicon. Look him up the videos he made are really cool.
Todd really is one of the greatest game designers of our time. Too bad the zenimax execs have made him deal with their messes
Gordie and Todd just hangin'. Awesome.
the reason todd is the best is because hes a real gamer he makes it how we want it cause hes one of us lol
Todd Howard is a Legend No Comment About that.
Great interview.
Thx
wil wheaton's with gamefront? cool man i love that dude, hes awesome
Cool
F**king Will Wheaton has interviewed Todd Howard??? Mind exploded..... awesome!
Fallout 4 Todd, Thank you very much
Uhh, guy, that's this year. It was released ... what like three years ago?
Thanks to you evry day we play almost half 24 hours i know im not the only one
Kaleb Cook What are you saying?
@@ClonesDream he is playing 12h a day
Wesley fucking Crusher. Living Legend. Todd should be interviewing Wheaton!
Pathof fckin Cultivation. Legend.
Thanks Mr. Howard for all this great epic and awesome Games. THX !!!
The great battles of skyrim is mentioned at 5:57
When he says characters I think he means something closer to writing.
Ur smart Andy
I LOVE YOU TODD HOWARD! Fuck it! lol don't care if it sounds gay! Todd Howard is a flipping LEGEND!
Ikr!!
Love you no homo
Imagine the potential of these games if consoles didn't hold them back.
pc my friend

It's a guy called Tyrannicon, search it on TH-cam and you'll find him.
Wesley Crusher
Found it, thanks!
I like this host. Unlike IGN this guy actually knows about games.
You beat me to it, damn you!
Come back stronger man
The next wave of RPGs is all about the TODD!!!!!
Aldmeri vs Empire story is Skyrim-centric, so it'll be finished in possibly a later DLC,
Madness!
You deserve it Tyrannicon!
What do you mean New Vegas was in 2O12? New Vegas was released in 2O1O but, the ultimate edition came out in 2O12
Does anyone know what the skyrim mod movie Todd mentions?
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaton
even if he told a few things that weren't exactly true, he still is a brilliant game developer. Skyrim is one of the only games that keeps me coming back for more. GOTY well deserved. all the patches and updates are proof of his and his teams devotions. I think it's unfair to say he's a liar only because of a few false statements, while he made us so many awesome games.
When ever I see todd I feel like he is the gamer version of geddy lee
throthgar!!! they are praising you!!!
'That interviewer' is Wil Wheaton. I don't think Dr Cooper would be too happy to hear you insulting his friend.
Does anyone know where to find this "mod" movie TH is talking about?
2:36
Will you are AWESOME
And Todd you Too^^
That would be amazing, NOT like an mmo, but co-op, that's what I want!

Will Wheaton kind of looks like Tim Gettys from IGN and Kinda Funny
I wonder if this could be considered into big bang theory canon.
It s canon
6:18 HOW COOL IS DAT face
OMG WIL WHEATON
I really hope thatTodd and Beth will put Throthgar as a NPC in their next project. ;)
Long may he live! :D
OMG I have to work for Todd Howard! :D
6:18 really, how cooooooool is that? Loooool. Funny guy :D
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies Todd
WHEATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!
Todd Howard Is The Future Of Gaming!
WHEATON!!!
WHeaton and Todd Howard?! wdf?!?!?! Gamefront wooo
All hail Todd Howard
+Boomabanga "it just works"
+Boomabanga Hail!
Anyone else think that Todd looks like Gabriel Byrne's nerdy twin, or am I the only one?
I think he means a proper Elder Scrolls VI single-player RPG.
Wesley! the boy!
Umm, I'm going to say you played the game on normal or easy... I played thought the whole game on Expert, and recently Master and you defiantly have a hard time being the "chosen one" as you get your ass handed to you by an Elder dragon...

#morrowind bring it back!!!
Let me guess, you're on the Skywind modding team now?
Wow, Wil Wheaton knows his sheeeeeet!
yes
