Does he really hate New Vegas?
>>
>>733759902
Yeah
>>
>>733759902
Todd probably doesn't care, but Emil definitely does since his writing is constantly contrasted with NV.
>>
Maybe less hate more envy
>>
>>733759902
No. He helped Obsidian work on it.
>>
>>733759902
Seeing what he did to NVs lore and setting in the show is proof he does.
>>
>>733759902
He isn't based enough to hate NV.
>>
>>733759902
I think Todd likes NV but then Emil seethes bitterly at it and being narrative/quest writer and director, will rape anything about it that he can, and Todd can't replace him for whatever reason.
>>
>>733759902
It's not about liking or disliking.
Think of the mob, it's more of a respect/disrespect angle. NV did not respect Bethesda, so it gets the shaft.
>>
>>733760312
Todd doesn't care that Emil butchers the lore as long as he keeps getting his paycheck. Also Emil and Todd are buddies and Emil is only in the position he is because of nepotism.
>>
>>733760312
>Todd can't replace him for whatever reason.
It seems to be a staff issue like he genuinely cannot get anybody willing to step up to the role within the studio.
>>
I used to think it was a meme, but after the tv show shit all over the setting I believe it’s true.
>>
Well does he make money from it? If it does, he likes it otherwise no.
Todd is just a business man. He exists to sell games to make money that's it.
>>
>>733759902
He didn't write the show.
Femoids probably hated it cause it made men happy so they wanted to destroy it with their foidslop
>>
>>733760128
dick gay and horse shit
>>
>>733759902
Todd made Morrowind so he doesn't have to care. Emil is the one who has the chip on his shoulder.
>>
>>733762675
>Morrowind

oOOooOHhh some shit that came out 30 years ago

come on man what are we doing
>>
>>733759902
If you're a mentally unwell retard who needs idiotic conspiracy theories over a mediocre game that only exists because Bethesda bought Fallout, then yes. Reality doesn't need to be real to believe incredibly stupid shit.

Did you not read the part where "he doesn't have to care" was written in the post you replied to?
>>
>>733759902
Every time I see Todd I think about if he was in the same room as me. Id slam him up against the wall, pull my arm back and give him a wet sloppy kiss as I fondle his balls and violently jerk him off. Imagine getting on all 4's as he takes you to pound town, honing you out. The entire time hes yelling about how much he hates NV and you cum really hard.
>>
>>733759902
i doubt he cares about anything after the ms buyout. i'd be shocked if he even comes into the office more than 2 days a week.

He's more mad that they weren't able to acquire Obsidian through their debt trap scheme.
>>
>>733759902
Recent interviews with Bruce Nesmith suggest that Todd is actually not the mastermind behind raping Bethesda's IPs, it was all Bruce and Emily, Todd just let it happen.

Reminder that the New Vegas devs were supposed to get a big money bonus if the game got 85% or higher on metacritic.

It got 84%.
>>
>>733759902
No, his favorite character is Mr. House and he loves it. He's a game director who was also involved in overseeing New Vegas to a meaningful extent, the team that made the game itself just happened to be external. New Vegas succeeding wasn't something that made him feel inadequate, but rather accomplished, because usually outsourcing games to other studios goes horribly wrong. Fallout 76 for example. Yeah, that was a Bethesda-owned studio, but it was still a new group of people in another state and they screwed it up.
>>
>>733765341
Plus they had to fund the remainder of the games development after Bethesda pulled funding due to not hitting milestones that were changed later in development.
>>
>>733765341
New Vegas devs actually weren't salty about that, because that bonus was never in the original contract, Bethesda just added it later in development.

What explains this phenomenon? Even Lord of the Rings fans didn't complain this much when they received similarly good adaptation.

Yes, objectively there's some amount of seething is involved. Most rumors are very subjective and it doesn't help that you can't even torture Todd to get a straight answer out of him, but there's one objective undeniable truth about New Vegas: everybody wanted to make another one, except for Todd Howard.

>Does he really hate New Vegas?
Bethesda doesn't hate New Vegas or the old Fallout games. They hate learning. Learning to write. The Dragon Break made them complacent. They thought that they had created a magical tool that allowed them to ignore internal consistency and basic competence in storytelling, but when they acquired the intellectual property of someone else, they could no longer apply it and have it make sense.
Bethesda wants to destroy everything that the original Fallouts and New Vegas changed, because they want only the brand recognition. They want only that wasteland aesthetic. They want none of the burden of actually having to continue a story. Not a story that someone else wrote, nor even a story that they themselves wrote, because that would still require effort and competence. They only want to be able to jangle those keys.
If Fallout 1, Fallout 2 and Fallout New Vegas had a storyline that resulted in the death of all super mutants, death of all deathclaws, rebuilding of the entirety of the west coast of the US, reintroduction of law and order and the destruction of raider gangs and Enclave, that would be unacceptable to Bethesda, because it would not look stereotypically Fallout anymore. They would have to find a way to destroy all of that progress to bring in those iconic aesthetic details again.
Even ghouls are a problem, because they live too long. Bethesda would need to find a way to murder ghoul characters, because the old trick of setting a sequel a century in the future to avoid having to take characters into account no longer works.
>>
>>733759902
its just a part of the FNV schizo headcannon lore that Todd hates FNV so they can pretend like its a just reason to hate the superior fallout 3 and 4 titles.
>>
its actually kind of sad and cringe watching FNV fans boil over and pretend like Bethesda was always irredeemable dogshit. elder scroll games were great, fallout was great.
just everything past fallout 4 is irredeemable. but the pursuit of winning the fallout new vegas is the best fallout ever, they are trying so hard to make Bethesda look bad that they end up looking more and more retarded in the process.
>>
>>733767510
from a business perspective this seems just straight retarded and I wonder why microsoft never forced them to do something after acquiring BOTH bethesda and obsidian
>>
>>733767276
>Even Lord of the Rings fans didn't complain this much when they received similarly good adaptation.
The audience who are interested in books is a lot smaller and less vocal these days than videogame players. They don't care. Also, Amazon only got partial rights to some LoTR stuff, they didn't actually get the right to adapt the Silmarillion or anything.
You're right, the LoTR TV show is a similarly good adaptation, i.e. just references spattered across terrible storytelling that violates established lore, with actors chosen based on things other than competence, miraculously doing a pretty good job with absolute garbage writing.
>>
>>733768138
Straight up, they don't care. They didn't buy Bethesda to make them make Skyrim 2, they bought Bethesda so that they can have all Fallouts and Elder Scrolls games permanently in the game pass.
>>
>>733759902
Unless they plan to incorporate whats happened in Fallout season 2 into a future game, what was the point?
>>
what amazes me is how they're not cashing in on the hype when seasons come out.

>no new vegas remaster
>no fallout 3 remaster
>don't even release cooper howard camp posters that have been in Fallout 76s files since the first season
>don't tease season 3 in anyway
>countdown clock was nothing
>they announce shitty ports coming to switch 2
It's like they want the franchise to die
>>
>>733768138
and the fact everyone was hyped for them to do that and... nothing.

i swear all this shit is the rothchilds wanting people to just be miserable lol
>>
>>733769092
wouldnt be surprised that they're taking the value so people would buy it or something
>>
>>733769092
bethesda and todd are just plain retarded
when the cyberpunk anime came out atleast they put out a big and expensive dlc to capitalize on it but here its fucking nothing
fallout 4 is over 10 years old and fallout 5 is over 10 years away
you telling me there are 0 studios under microsoft who could make a spinoff game or literally anything to capitalize it? just let some jeets remaster new vegas like they did with oblivion, normies dont care anyway but they didnt
which brings us all back to the OP, todd hates new vegas and is retarded and gay
>>
>>733759902
Yeah probably. I remember once he was talking about RPGs and he's like "if you have a character give me a quest, don't even bother trying to come up with a reason why that character can't do it himself"

New Vegas is full of that kinda stuff. It's just the complete opposite of his design philosophy

>>733769351
people dont want to wait over 10 years for a game release. just like GTA, they should be dropping a video game title once per console gen.
when people cry to give the devs more time, the other side is what we are waiting over 10 years now for a game to be relesed. and we keep waiting and waiting and waiting. but in the past they could crank out a big open world game in the 7 year gap between console gens. but for some reason they cant do it now, ignore the idea that maybe they have hired incompetent devs to make a good game in a timely manner. they have to be treated as a sacred cow and were just going to wait 20 years between game releases. plus they expect us to play their last entry for 20 years in the meantime paying microtransactions to support the lazy ass devs slowly making games. yep, just expect your customers to wait almost a quarter century between title releases and not drop you like a loser company that cannot make games for whatever franchise will.
this shit should never happen again.

at the time I would have sold a limb to have a TES game by these guys.

Season 2 of the show was fucking awful, couldnt finish it. Also, why do they refuse to use names for the monsters and instead call everything an abomination?

It's because high fidelity visuals bloat development time massively. If they were making a game on par with New Vegas visually they would have released at least two games since Fallout 4 by now.

You're not fooling anyone. You thought that chad = gigachad and that a meme was made wrong because it subverts your wrong expectations. Back to discord with you.
>>
Yes
>>
>>733759902
No but he does not consider it a game from Bethesda so he does not love it.
Probably the same feelings he gets from Fallout 1 and 2.
>>
It's just the usual NVtroons seething that their favorite game isn't as popular as FO3 and FO4
>>
>>733761490
The show essentially builds on the Fallout "vibe" which is ironically how Bethesda Fallout built on the crpgs. Take the setting, the music, the pip boy etc. and do whatever

Anon FO4 (the bad Fallout) has more positive reviews than that and that game was review bombed like 2 times due to the major patches
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here
>>
yes the little manlet basedboy is very jealous, his shitty fallout 4 failed.
>>
>>733773759
When did Fallout 4 become Fallout 3?
>>
>>733759902
Todd likes NV for the same reason he likes 1 and 2, he just doesn't seem to get the themes right.
Then again, he'd do really good directing FO games happening closer to after the bombs dropped. The more attention he gave 76, the less terrible it got.
