We love you, Todd. Your the man.

Voice recognition for shouts? amazing, I would use them so much more often, I hate having to switch from a spell to a shout which is in a different category for the most part

Very similar to his Fallout3 DICE speech in 2009. Still an insightful watch though...

Why does Bethesda Make such good games!!??.....

A rather enjoyable presentation by Todd Howard. I'm not sending any hate mail to Ted Price.

Since the Game Jam content was done by the developers themselves, maybe it's not impossible for it to be available as DLC for consoles later on. Fingers crossed!

very insightful

Spears+Mounted Combat+Killcams for ranged combat= BETHESDA GETS MY MONEY

Am watching this while playing Skyrim. God I love Bethesda.

shoot a rocket into space!!! who does that!?! that is aweeeeeessssommmmeee!!!

I went from watching the Escaping the Asylum video(which was dull) to this and what a difference in perspective

WOW. Im stunned!!! Awesome Dice Keynote by Tod Howard!!!

Todd was trying hard for a change, that was nice and interesting, I liked it. I never liked single one of his interviews, they were always boring as hell.

If they could do that in a week, why is the game so "boring"? That Giant Enemy Crab thing was the best!

Great speech. I'd really like to see some of those things from the Game Jam come in as mods at some point...

He is right about the Dead Island part (and the rest as well of course). Having an incentive to do things and get rewarded for it is key. Which is strange, because I found this to be Skyrim's biggest problem. Quest designs are very unimaginative in Skyrim. There hardly is any incentive to do them, they are void of context. Just 'go here' 'do that' and 'kill this' and not 'kill Mr. X a famous bandit because he has kidnapped my child' and than as you arrive on the location 'the child went with Mr. X willingly because he too wants to be a bandit: what now?' Also when you finish a quest it often feels unrewarding because you get some random praise and some random weapon based on your level. Even the names of these weapons are random and also the enchantment which means most of them are useless. This is even worse in the quests that are randomly generated. The dialogue in these quests is compleetly random. When you finish them they say 'thanks for that, we really needed to get that done' but you know this is a random response and you don't feel like you accomplished something. You actually feel tricked, so instead you start to just collect quests and finish as much as possible because they atleast provide you with something to do. So I found that the connection between story and gameplay is lost in Skyrim more so than in Morrowind and Oblivion. Strange.

@szekiRobert Why the hell would Rocksteady do either of those? if anything they should be making different beat em' up super hero games in only the way they know how at this point.

Betheada is not perfect they killed Interplay and todds the biggest geek i have ever layed my eyes on skyrim can get boring

I have one question, is the game in 3rd person or 1st person?

SPEARS!!!!!! I WNAT NOW!!!!

There simply is no game-developer like Bethesda.

Lol he sure hate carmacks ass

DRAGONS MOUNTS !!!!! FINALY AND THEYRE DEVLOPER MADE OMG I WOULD PAY 5 dollars for that one

Solid keynote address - thanks for putting this up GS.

I can't believe they didn't keep kill cam for bows!!

loling at MW level up joke! :D

I love that man...

WTF FLOW BASED WATER SHADER? WHY ISNT IT IN THE GAME??? WHY????? I HATE THE WAY WATER LOOK IN THE GAME!! Seriously why?

Oh my god. I WANT ALL OF THOSE GAME JAM MODS NOW.

Oh my god. I WANT ALL OF THOSE GAME JAM MODS NOW.

Someone please tell Todd that though Skyrim is a decent rpg that doesnt mean its a "masterpiece", specially considering its generic story (and even boring) plot. But dont worry, next one will probably be about...orcs? or will be about a magic catastrophe perhaps? evil forces awakening? Still, it will look good and will be, once again, a shiny quality product. Now lets just consider which rpg will be the COD of RPGs.......

I enjoyed it.

Really awesome stuff ( for just a week?) :D

@option585 They would have to look that word up to learn in the dictionary before commenting on it lol.

" I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than you. seriously :s "

Man I wish every studio had that mentality! Good speech! Wonder what the dev team of MW3 would have to say about creativity...

Do it! All of it!

@jedediahpelland with the arrival of patch 1.4 with workshop the performance got better for CPUs (1.4 beta also improved performance). 460gtx is quite enough to demolish this game so it's no wonder you get better fps now :)

Todd you are my hero

Todd's a legend.

"Hey loading screen takes up a LOT of time in the game, we should drastically shorten them" "Nah , let's just add some pictures and remeber the player he's a werewolf every friggin 5 minutes"

He was absolutely right. Imagine trying to protect your horse from the dragon because it has enormous loot which you cant carry back on your own. It would totally ruin the fights with dragons.

I can't wait for some dlc and they did a really good job with putting me in that sweet spot with skyrim lol

OMG Game jam stuff why they didn't put many of them in game dam most looked freaking awesome :( i hope we see them in expansion/dlc

Ha ha I saw the vats thing in the creation kit yesterday. I was like huh?

Is it just me or does anyone else want literally everything in the game jam video, Go werebears!

I JUST realized that the first letter of each Elder Scrolls game is in alphabetical order. Interesting...

The giant mudcrab was freakin awesome!
