Skyrim and Fallout 4 artist says Bethesda's Todd Howard has too many yes men: "A lot of people were afraid to say no to Todd and that hurt him"

"He's a phenomenal person, and is he perfect? No"

The team that made Morrowind exploited this weakness and just presented Todd with shit they knew would be rejected first, then showed him what they really wanted to do, making it seem less wacky and thus getting approval from Howard.

They really should show the current people the tricks of the trade. Though Howard should also probably be less micro-managey. Everything has to go through and be approved by him. That’s why so much of it sucks.

He is essentially the industry’s current version of John Romero.

Damn, what was the first draft such that The 36 Lessons of Vivec Volume 12 made it into the final draft?
I want the original draft of Lusty Argonian Maid
