What's happening to this thread? It's slowly being deleted.

Good.

Easy there, Pete shill. We are becoming more aware. DEAL WITH IT

Todd is a small fucking liar. even if he created morrowind, he still fucking made Fallout 4. Get him out.

Pete Hines is the true enemy of the franchise. He's a douchey dumb jock that hates reading.

Todd is the true hero of the series and Kirkbride is his drunken, hallucinating queen.

Every single time the man speaks it's a lie and everyone creams their jeans over it because we're all whores who love developers that treat us like shit.

You seem to be forgetting the entire concept of Pete making him with hid arm behind hid back

The writing is easily the worst part in most WRPGs though, including ES. The "lore" is cliché tropey shit worthy straight out of a middle school boy's fantasy.

THIS GUY GETS IT

>be todd
>be the most handsome developer
>be the tallest developer
>make the best games
>some noodle arm betas post memes about you
>call you a liar all the time for doing what everyone else does in marketing your game
>release another game that sells millions and gets wide acclaim
>tfw obsidian is irrelevant

Todd Howard is the Michael Bay of video games.

He even looks like a shorter version of him.

lel DEFENDING JRPGs LIKE THEY AREN'T STRAIGHT OUT OF A MIDDLE SCHOOL BOYS FANTASY OH HOLY SHIT SOMEONE CHECK MY PULSE

...

Morrowind has genuinely good writing in the main story though.

I think were losing sight of the objective

PUT THE HEAT ON PETE

>be me
Who else would you be?

>being this new

damn i envy you

To be fair we gave people shit about this a lot years ago. It's only become cool to ironically use it in recent times because we're hipsters.

JUST SO YOU GUYS KNOW WHO THIS NIGGA IS.

Pete fuckin Hines

Nigga I've bengere sin 2006
Nothing about this site is cool

It used to be

>be me, [context]

As in, "be me, 12 years old", "be me, at school".

Look at this 87 year old fig

Oh didn't you school us

HATE PETE

NOT TODD

kirkbride and a couple other writers I don't know the names of who were fired after morrowind released

Basically all the genuine talent at bethesda got the boot after morrowind because they argued with management too much

nigger naw

They still love MKirk on for lore collaboration even in skyrim. that nigga built the universe,

That didn't stop him from getting fired after morrowind released

GUR DUR REMOVED AS A CREATIVE CAPACITY

STILL REFEREED TOO AS A TOP TIER LOREMASTER FOR OUR UNIVERE


yeah fuck him, he's screwed

I like Bethesda games but they always screw something up somehow
Like oblivion the level scaling enemies ruined things for me
Skyrim they removed basically 90% of stuff from the last games

It has nothing to do with him being screwed you moron.

It shows what kind of respect bethesda management has for the creative teams that put their videogames together. I quite honestly think their success has been nothing but flukes of marketing - and now with actual competition beginning to show up in the market, they're going to be squeezed out as everyone realizes how truly fucking incompetent bethesda are.

It's the little details I always miss from previous games. Like having separate armor slots for gloves and paldrons in Morrowind or how in Oblivion you could make black soul gems but it required a specific necromancer ritual to do etc.

yeah and that was pete hines.

nigga needed a stable product. Todd delivered.

FUCK PETE HINES

inb4 CD PROJEKT RED

Dude think back to when morrowind came out

fuck my life I see what you're saying

One step forward and two steps back, I loved that skyrim brought dual wielding and mounted combat but then they removed so much it felt like a lesser game.

every game has felt like that

Oblivion took away ,medium armor and spears and spell crafting, fuckim true enchanted erspomd smd sr,ot
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINES

tfw i've pirated every single elder scrolls game

Morrowind is too easy to break, I find it hard to enjoy because of that.

What did Todd mean by this?

Don't believe his lies

Todd is living the dream. Get rich off of just being "an ideas guy" he doesn't code, doesn't do art, write, none of that.

MK was adamant that Vivec return.
TH wanted to have that chapter close and move on.

The split wasn't amicable but MK didn't burn the bridge.

Todd (((Howard)))

he did regret the dialogue system of fallout 4, maybe he isn't so bad

Well he does mention in the interview that they fucked that up but ya knowdon't believe his lies!

Bethesda? You mean there was a story to that sex simulator game Skyrim?

Bethesda/Zenimax is one of the worst companies in the industry right up there with Ubisoft and EA and yet they don't really get that much shit around here. Is it the Toddposting?

Nope.
There is a dedicated cadre of hipsters who hate Bethesda.
They believe if they can kill Bethesda people will like the shitty games they like.

You know the ones that post Age of Decadence and Underrail shit all the time.

thats the most retarded statement ever

Morrowind is made in a way that it's almost impossible to break it by accident, if you broke the game youdid it on purpose, stop blaming the fucking game

I think he was talking about how the game was balanced without taking into account custom spell/potion/enchant creation in mind. Which never bothered me tbqh, being a demigod is sweet.

Morrowind dindu nuffin.

Well except for alchemy.
I made a potion that raised the Chars int so high my xbox became self aware.

case in point

Figuring out the Alchemy "feature" wasn't rocket science.

but abusing it is a conscious decision

But Fallout 4 was good. Not great, but good.

>>new hire at bethesda
>>company is failing

before the Elder Scrolls III, Bethesda really wasn't doing too hot. In fact after Battlespire and Redguard they filed for bankruptcy and Zenimax acquired them.

TES III sold millions of copies and literally saved Bethesda Softworks, then they acquired Fallout's IP, churned out huge hits with both IP's, then Zeni acquired id and Arkane and now they're one of the biggest western Publishers.

>The "lore" is cliché tropey shit worthy straight out of a middle school boy's fantasy.

It really isn't. Name another high fantasy where Dwarves are Elves, Wood Elves eat dead people and there's a sentient race of transforming cat creatures

you just havent bothered to read any of the lore

>morrowind isn't infinitely better than Boring's Gate
sure bud

>be me
>can't form my own opinion
>go to Sup Forums
>they tell me what to play and what to like
Thanks Sup Forums!

ES lore isn't like other series, there is no official status on what the objective truth is.

You could make a shite story right now about Azura fucking Dagoth-Ur in the face and it's just as canonical as anything MK writes, it's all about what pieces fans and even creators (generally) accept.
