    Typical 30 seconds in this interview are like Todd: talking Cameraman: zooms in really close at poster behind Todd's head Todd: still talking but now wringing hands Cameraman: zooms in really close on Todd's wringing hands Todd: shifts eyes uncomfortably Cameraman: zooms in on Todd's eyebrows Director: wtf do you think you're doing Cameraman: quickly zooms out to normal angle a;ldjfa;sldkfj sorry, just trying to get interesting shots Director: I didn't say to stop. These are perfect. Keep going Cameraman: zooms in on Todd's kneecap with an eery grin

    He's a good guy. Met him once actually. We got together for a drink at the Winking Skeever. ...than he followed me...

    He is still a great guy. I don't understand why some folks hate him. The games that are directed by Todd are awesome. They have the adventure feel. And making a big game is no small feat. A lot of sacrifices happened.

    Why should youtube recommend my old interview after 8 years!

    I can't wait for TES6 Edit: 4 YEARS LATER???
  • @rohitb2607
    Isn't the Elder Scrolls games the best thing happened to the whole damn world? Yes it is.
  • @GlitchG00D5
    Bethesda make good games because their employees are actually treated well, and kept happy.
  • I can’t wrap my head around the fact that 2011 was 12 years ago
  • @enterbalak
    5:20 Elder scroll's lore is so grounded and authentic, it just works.
  • I love Todd Howard, and I love Bethesda. Since Morrowind, they've shown me that what you dream is possible. Thank you all at B.S.
  • @buavhlebac2953
    as an amateur fantasy writer I'm really fascinated by TES lore I would love to work with it
  • @Agos226
    I love reading all these old comments... only a couple years ago people talked about Todd like he was the messiah who was gonna save gaming 😂
  • Oh boy, almost 10 years later. I still like Todd, and still have a bit of faith that when ES6 comes out, it will be worth the wait

    Todd is my Inspiration. I have been working on a game my self. Although I don't have any thing now (employes, company name) I hope have something at the end of the year. It's amazing to think how Todd has such a huge imagination to make elder scrolls what it is.
  • If I had a nickel for every random fuckin shot of his hands I'd be as rich as the US debt.

    It blows my mind how people can dislike Todd. He's just an awesome nerd like us who loves games, and him and everyone at BGS are professionals, artists, and nerds, and are great at what they do. Everyone just sees the business end of things, but I'll bet most of that comes from Microsoft and Zenimax. Not from Todd and BGS. They have to deal with bad executive decisions just like us fans do, if not a whole lot more. Take your time with TES6, Todd. Skyrim, Fo4, and 76 are still great games.
