I hope so, becouse that would imply that he really tries to make a good RPG, but can't. But i seriously doubt that.
I think Todd judges the quality of their games solely on sales and the revenue they bring in.
And in that case, Fallout 3 is indeed a success.

Especialy when topics like "thank you bethesda" (or "buttfucked and proud") pops from time to time on their forums

Why bother with good design when lazy one pay offs anyway...

Bethesda has the best marketing department in the industry, that is why Todd Howard's shit sells so fucking good.

For Fallout 4 Todd will take big huge shit (as always), the marketing department @Bethesda will then wrap his shit in gold foil and spray some lovely perfume on it. Done.

Exactly. Everything about it is wrong, and nothing about it deserves praise.

No doubt about that. The sad part is they don't even have to try hard. Their games sell regardless.

I'll stop posting about it now because it puts me in a bad state of mind again, like a few years ago.
And, you know :deadhorse:

I don't think he's even that cynical. I think the Toddler has the same kind of mental deficiency as the morons that buy and love Bethesda games, and that he honestly thinks that he's making great RPGs.

Sure. I certainly would not rule that out. Me being angry about it clouds my judgement so it's hard to come to a conclusion.
But given his financial background he should be proficient at marketing, thus one could be inclined to give him credit for being able to sell a piece of shit like F3 to the masses, and knowing exactly what they want.
Allthough that is hardly a challenge these days.

I can't tell anymore.

I for one hope the Toddler will expand on what made F3 truly great - the immense retardation and rape of the originals. Just to see how the game reviewers will try and justify the 10/10 GOTY scores. Bonus points if he drops all RPG elements altogether and makes it a MW/MoH clone, so that the IGNs have to post articles about why 'RPG' is a relative term

Somehow i think that Todds work revolves not on designing the games itself but to make sure it will be retard friendly...

Well, well, Josh Sawyer's little cock sucking retard faction is here I see. :)

Josh should go first, because he is the biggest Bethesda loving retard of them all.

I like them more than Bioware. The thought of Bethesda going broke and Bioware filling their power vacuum as the big WRPG company terrifies me.

Bethesda's not going broke. Shit, if they think Witcher 3 will be a threat to them they'll just buy Poland

Your ignore list.
Bethesda, unlike BiowarEA, keeps on pleasing its growing fanbase with each game, despite what the Codex would like to believe. This guarantees that Bethesda isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

At least Bethesda's games are enjoyable hiking-simulators/action games. Bioware is just...I don't even know any more.
