When you look at the very best game developers of all time—the 21 members of the AIAS Hall of Fame—I think Todd deserves to have his name right alongside of them as the best of the best."

Well-deserved. Congratulations to my pal Todd Howard!

He should get the award just for convincing consuletards to re-buy a 5 year old game.

Todd Howard is the genius who is behind the spectacular 3D reimagining of an old farty game which used old sprites because old computers just didn't know any better. The emotional story of looking for the middle-aged man has captured fervent imaginations of millions. And who could forget the stirring character of Moira, modeled after Todd Howard's own mother.

And of course there's Harold, the most inspired character of all, whose fate made us all contemplate what we have been doing to the environment. The subtle parallels to the "burning bush" mythos are only the icing on the cake of Todd Howard's brilliance.

Fallout Mastermind Todd Howard = "Ultima Mastermind John Riccitiello"

 

[Latro]

[Rahdulan]

Well, he did make a truckload of money for the company. Especially considering it's RPGs we're talking about here.

 

[Junmarko]

At least make it semi-believable. Tag an original IP from Bethesda like, "Elder Scrolls Mastermind". No?

Oh...

 

[Gepeu]

At least the comment section gives a bit of hope.

 

[The Dutch Ghost]

Meh, there are no standards for bad taste.

 

[Konjad]

I was playing The Void and Planescape Torment thinking how shit dumb entertainment games are. Then I played Oblivion and Skyrim and regained hope in games with a knowledge that there are some great pieces of art in gaming industry.

 

[Hobo Elf]

He worked hard for this and got what was long overdue.
