OXM Interview with Todd Howard

  • Comment
The Official Xbox Magazine posted an interview with Todd Howard.

The interview contains no new information about Skyrim but does talk about Mr Howard's views about the Elder Scrolls series.

Mr Howard said that Bethesda game studios treats each game as a new game series rather than a group of sequels.

He said that his favourite game is the most recently released Bethesda game and ranks the other games in order that they were released.

Mr Howard also announced that the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages catalogued the lore better than Bethesda themselves had and that the developers often use it as a resource in their work.

More information is available at the OXM website.

    Good stuff, Kudos to you news teams on all the nexus sites, this is good stuff.


    Luckily this is Bethesda, and if you want a monkey riding a skateboard that shoots rocket bananas you can have that.

    Vampires will definitely be in Skyrim.

    "Mr. Howard said that Bethesda game studios treats each game as a new game series rather than a group of sequels."

    This sounds about right, each game is drastically different from one another.And that probably means that Skyrim will be drastically different than Oblivion.Question is, is that a good thing or a bad thing?Depends on the way you look at it I suppose.

    Hehe. Apparently UESP is better than Bethesda with lore. :p
    There are some interesting points elsewhere as well.
