IGN - Todd Howard "If you want us to stop releasing Skyrim ports, stop buying them"
- Thread starter spad3
- Start date
I don't have anything against the ports, but I'm annoyed that they've never fixed some of the major quest breaking bugs.
How have I never seen this?
I wonder how that kid named Dovahkiin by his parents to get free Bethesda games for life is doing.
Lol wow
Is it even possible for the next Elder Scrolls to beat Skyrim's lifetime sales?
He is not wrong, people can complain about it all they want but the game just keeps selling.
Do it, join us, be a part of the problem.

Todd Howard has been trying to be as honest as possible lately. I think it has something to do with FO4 backlash.
It`s always good to know what they actually think, at least it allows for some interaction with the fan-base.
Slightly off-topic, but how hard/difficult Morrowind is if I'm planning to do a complete blind playthrough ? Currently at the character creation screen and not sure which class or abilities I should choose/build ?
I know it's hard to accept but good games are still good games and are worth paying for even if they are not the hottest new 4K HDR technical showpiece.
I don't think the sales performance of a trimmed down mobile first version will be a good predictor of how actual, real Skyrim would do.
There honestly isn't that much of a backlash outside the usual vocal minority online.
The consumers that vote with their wallet speak louder:

Now I don't think FO4 is going to have Skyrim's legs, and probably isn't going to be rereleased 10 times, but that article was posted 15 months after FO4 came out. That game obviously crushed it.
Yep. Skyrim could have been the best example of good GaaS with a constant stream of high value DLCs.
I just wish VR version wasn't separate from the special edition. Just make it DLC or something, idk.
Yeah I was talking about the vocal minority online and the memes about him lying and stuff. Now he's trying to be as honest as possible.
I personally love FO4.
But why buy it then? Surely not for support since they have plenty of it already.
I always think "This is it! This is the time I'm going to finally play it" and then either play League or a gacha game because I am a fool.
I never understood why the meme about "See that mountain? You can climb it " was treated like it was a lie. It was 100% the truth, and the meme about him lying was clearly from people who never played Skyrim.
There are many things wrong about both Skyrim and Fallout 4, but Todd didn't lie about any of its flaws.
Sure, the bit about sabotaging the wood mill was cut, but it was because it didn't make the game better. Same with Oblivion's Radiant AI that was removed because it isn't fun when the entire town died or get arrested for committing crimes.
If you create NPCs with the same decision making process as players, you end up with thieving murderous NPCs. Todd didn't lie about Radiant AI, he just made the decision to remove something that would otherwise wreck the simulation. Human players want to be in charge, they don't want the game to make decisions on its own that torpedo the game plans of the player.
and the fact that he's been caught lying countless times since Oblivion released.
I would love for you to name those lies that haven't being analysed already in my post above yours.

Oh fuck i forgot that Skyrim VR came to PC too. fuuuuuuuuuuck the visual mods + VR must be absolutely insane. Plus the higher visual fidelity of the Vive, it must feel like the matrix

THIS. If they kept going with the expansions, Skyrim could've been the peak RPG experience. I wonder what stopped them from doing so? System limitations? I'd imagine last-gen tech and storage limitations being a hindrance to the constantly growing experience, but even then, they could've expanded on the Special Edition with new content to adapt Skyrim into the GaaS era.
Hopefully TESVI follows up in this manner.
Most people want something they can do quickly on their phones, not something that takes super long like Skyrim.
Plus they have that Elder Scrolls mobile game coming out.
