For me it's the world of Bethesda games. Yes many games surpass the elder scrolls in terms of gameplay or story like the witcher 3 but in the witcher 3 it doesn't feel alive the way Elderscrolls games do. NPCs just stand in place or places just feel like building between me it feels like a map with things to do not a world to explore. In TeS games when you walk into a road side inn or Tavern you immediately feel that sense of warmth and safety even when you aren't playing on a survival mode you just feel like "Yes this is a place you can relax." No other game reaches that level of immersion and detail like Bethesda games do.

"One of the reasons we're sitting here, 10 years later, is because of our modding community" That is so incredibly true. Skyrim is a great game, but the modding community elevated it to an unreachable status. There's no other game with as many mods, as many creators. Imo, there's no other game with such a deep, rich modding tool-set that is as uniquely powerful as it is accessible. Whatever future Elder Scrolls titles are released, Bethesda would do well to retain the flexibility and depth of modding for their engine and toolset. If they abandon that, they abandon a significant portion of their fanbase.

[@alexlyster3459]

The process would basically be " we might as well make Fallout 76- 2 because we're going to be starting from scratch". The results still wouldn't be what you want, as the game would have to be online by nature. Making a game exactly like Skyrim, but multiplayer is basically impossible. All those physically based objects, scripted NPC etc... just do not mesh well with netcode and stability

Top notch interview. Glad to know I’m not the only n’wah spending money on AE.

[@YOGI-kb9tg]

im not its completely pointless special edition made sense as it added mods to the console games but this new version is just special addition but with 3 CC items you can just get on special edition not to mention you could get more CC items if you spent the money on the CC on special edition than buying a new version of skyrim for £60 just to get 3 free CC items that have been free on multiple occasions and have far better free modded alternatives.

[@lazadum4313]

@@YOGI-kb9tg bro you dont have to spend $60 on the anniversary edition if you already own the special edition. You can get all of the Anniversary content for $20 + the next upgrade is free for consoles

[@ryanrusch3976]

It hurts as a Fallout fan to hear us clearly be treated as the middle child even before Starfield lmao, i'm still thankful Bethesda saved the IP and took it in the direction they did.

8:44 We’ll that confirms that Jeremy Soule won’t be composing TES 6 soundtrack. According to himself he still has no clue what’s going on and has not been contacted by Bethesda about any work.

[@AP13P]

But that was a few years back? We don't know the status on Jeremy now.

Say it ain’t so…

[@nickspaghettios7423]

Jeremy Soule created one of the greatest soundtracks of all time….this makes me very sad

[@SuperBallani]

@@nickspaghettios7423 Yes, but you know that he has been accused of several sexual agressions ? That's why Bethesda hasn't contected him yet, he will very probably never work in the video game industry again.

[@nickspaghettios7423]

@@SuperBallani regardless of his atrocities doesn’t change the fact that he makes music that has brought me and many others out of very dark times. He is truly a Daedric Prince of Orchestral Atmospheres. Shame it had to come to this.

Todd just keeps building that Hype... Got to control it... Anyone recommend Hype Therapy?

To counteract the symptoms of excessive hype, I'd recommend playing any recent Bethesda game

[@royk7712]

to counteract the symptoms of excessive hype, id recommend pirating cyberpunk. because the cyberscam isnt even worth buying. its worth pirating it and delete after 1hour of game

[@alexandervolgzangief6759]

Great to see a company that is commited to focus on creating single player experiences.

[@crispycrow8324]

Absolutely love the fact that he endorses kidders and credits them with keeping the game alive.

[@amochswohntet99]

For me Skyrim was great for it's openness, music and the depth of it's lore. The people who call it shallow really don't take the time to look at the big picture of Tamriel, it's geopolitics and conflicts. To understand the groups, you also have to look at the gods they follow, and the traits of those gods.

[@kye4216]

The elder scrolls lord doesn’t make the game Skyrim deep. It is fairly shallow compared to morrowind

[@Skibidi_Fazbear]

Tbh people saying skyrim is shallow are pretty correct (not by general standards but by elder scrolls standards) the games prior were more deep.

[@cruzader3630]

Ngl even though most of us hated the wrong things Todd did, we can agree that till this day, we loved how he made himself involved on every game he made

[@anotheruser8105]

Thank you, Todd, and all at Bethesda

Very cool interview BUT DIDN’T ASK ONCE about the current remake/remastered climate in gaming right now and what Mr. Howard thinks about it. :(

Увлекательное интервью вышло, значит первым делом создают Саундтрек к игре, прикольно и правильно, потом под эту музыку задается тон игре.

только обидно, что в TES VI походу не будет Джереми Соула, или же они даже музыку еще не начали писать

Starfield needs more hype tbh

[@supernova9930]

It’s will amp up soon

[@Rapunzel879]

Does it? The game comes out in a year.

[@-1nterruption-960]

@@supernova9930 yes. You are correct. As we get closer to the release of Starfield, we'll see news of the game popping up all over the media. The hype for the game will most likely be astronomical

[@kang8171]

Honestly it not getting hype could help it. Overhyping and people expecting it to be Fallout/Elder scrolls could hurt it.

[@shiny460]

No it doesn't. I'd much rather it fly under the radar and surprise people. Hype does nothing and benefits nobody
