Tod Howard emphasizes personal connection over the Starfield project.
He appears overly focused on his projects and dismisses criticism easily. Recently, the YT algorithm shared a clip showing him at a chess club during his early days. It seems he exaggerates his achievements. The most recent game I owned was likely Fallout 4, which I found disappointing. I doubt anyone would be interested in someone abandoning their work for personal gain—though it could help boost these niche games. His dedication to gaming feels almost obsessive, like someone trying to revive a broken record. Regardless of the quality of the final product, he keeps pushing forward.
They struggle to craft even short functional snippets of code within their own engine. What do you think would occur if they needed to master a different system? Skyrim depends on unofficial modifications (mods) to address fundamental issues in the original release. Released in 2011, the game has undergone several updates, and even those included premium downloads relied on mods to supply content. Bethesda once offered solid concepts for previous titles and set a strong foundation for developers to build upon. Nonetheless, they have consistently demonstrated technical shortcomings that date back to early days.
tried it, really bad. thankfully it installed in under two hours with tons of mods and I realized it’s a walking simulator—refunded instantly. oof. people love their custom versions... zzZ no offense, but he’s super awkward. probably amusing back then, right?
Others’ harsh opinions about a widely loved game franchise won’t shift the views of millions. I haven’t altered any Fallout or Elder Scrolls titles, and I’ve enjoyed many of them. I recognize opinions can be personal, but criticizing an entire studio after just one playthrough in a few big series feels unfair. Plus, Ozzy Osborne is a musician, not a comedian, so it’s unclear what’s considered cringe. There are definitely subjective perspectives on music, but he’s among the more well-known artists.
He mentioned it was the only game they played. Some people who dislike walking simulators call it ridiculous. Maybe he didn’t hear the right message. I’m not commenting on the music since that’s personal.
I didn’t make that statement, you only shared my reply to someone else; they mentioned playing a Bethesda game and it affected their opinion of all their titles. You joined the chat then questioned why the talk didn’t involve you. I’m not sure what you’re expecting from an open-world experience with a big map—you’ll need to explore it, but that doesn’t turn it into a “walking simulator” since there’s much more to engage with. Maybe open-world adventure titles aren’t something you like. Ozzy Osborne has had a long career in music, and whatever criticism he receives about his comedy skills doesn’t matter to him or his fans.
