"I interviewed Todd Howard for the first time in 15 yrs" - Jason Schreier

elderscrollsconceptart

one notable thing that stands out to me from Todd's interview questions is that he said he doesn't think about what his retirement would look like (anymore).

In the past he basically said that after TES VI, Fallout 5 would be his last game. But now he sees devs who are notably older than him are still doing amazing things in the gaming industry so he just doesn't think about retirement nowadays.

Ive personally been a lil surprised that he was ever thinking about his future retirement when the dude is still only in his 50s. Theres tons of old directors/artists who are in like their 60s/70s/80s and are having the time of their life making fantastic stuff. I know Todd also sees that. So its no surprise he has walked back thoughts about future retirement plans.

I do also know that Todd is VERY protective of Bethesda, its employees, and what they make. So given the recent fucking over and layoffs that Microsoft forced Bethesda into, I'd imagine Todd also wants to stay on board simply to try to protect Bethesda from whatever Microsoft would do to it after he retires.

There should be an evil doppelganger of the Tamriel Sexyman Tournament called the Tamriel Stinkyman Tournament lol

This is actually kind of peak ngl XD Tamriel Most Hated lmfao

For anyone wondering where Todd Howard stands on the whole AI thing, these are his thoughts:

==============================

So basically:

Generative AI? Absolutely not.

Functional AI tools to assist/speed up repetative technical development for devs? Sure.

==============================

Bethesda uses it as a tool to assist on a functional/technical level, not as a replacement for human developers or human artistry.

It has been said time and time again by current and former Bethesda devs that Todd is a great person and an awesome boss. Bethesda is widely reported as a fantastic place to work and there is a good reason they have had so many long term and tenured employees.

Literally the only way that will change is if Bethesda is forced by Xbox into a situation where they are forced to replace people/art with AI generated garbage like some studios have done. I don't see that happening as long as Todd is still leading Bethesda. He'd probably resign if it reached that point.

==============================

This is also a little known fact about Todd Howard, but hes actually an artist. He did some early concept/sketch idea work for Bethesda and he's long had an affinity and love of art. He's not a professional artist, but he clearly loves art and game development itself is an extension of artistic expression. Todd clearly believes that human creativity and ingenuity can never (and should never) be replaced

Anyways here's a cute piece Todd Howard made in Middle School that they now have displayed (along with other student artists' work)
