I think its funny when he mentions how sports games are similar to RPGs. Ive stated this opinion before and got flamed back into my "Troll Cave".

that's because people who primarily play role-playing video games tend to have a bias towards the games of their favorite developer, who generally tend to follow the same basic gameplay mechanics throughout their games. if someone else's idea of what an RPG is goes against their idea of what an RPG is they get really indignant and complain a lot.

for pretty much everybody else an RPG is mostly defined by character progression, which has been a feature of tons of games for over a decade. it's why JRPGs are still widely considered RPGs even though virtually every other thing about them - exploring, solving puzzles and interacting with different characters in order to progress a linear narrative - is a core staple of adventure games.

I didn't understand that he said they were similar, just that an rpg allows for anything for most things to be inside it.

Its at the end of one of the interviews, I think the 3rd one. He basically says he likes Sports games, and he has 30 characters that have stats, who progress etc. Then compares the two. I think he was talking about NCAA Football.

[Jani Eayon]

He's a breton. Bretons are cool. They are always the best race.

Why did so manypeople choose Imperial? And the person who chose Nord? Lol... Anyone got screen captures of that concept art?

[Vicky Keeler]

Concept art? All I've seen so far is Todd's face.

Hi i'm a complete noob to these forums and have been gripped to the tes series after playing oblivion earlier last year ( i just brought morrowind for the 360 lol),anyway i was online last night to witness the 'epic' wait for the skyrim update, and there was a lot of talk about another update tonight.

Is that going to happen?, Thanks.

Hey! There were three interviews with Todd Howard that went up today. Check the link on the first post in the thread.

Add: Bosmer, without a doubt.

after all the complaints about Bethesda's face-making skills in the last two games, this time around every NPC is modeled after Todd.

That is my Goal to make a Todd looking character i am going to make him a Nord Barbarian who takes crap from no one.

[Dalley hussain]

Howard to me is a Bosmer. I now plan to make a Bosmer with a Tom Howard likeness,

Thomias Howardhel he will be called....

I don't play sports games so I wouldn't know much about how their the same.
I thought sports games just made the players in real life into video game form, and each one has different stats and you pick a team, or some other deal.:shrug:

Thanks, I just watched them and they were pretty cool. I dont know much about the story of TES,i have been reading quite a few posts over the last few days and it seems that there is a book/books of the series?, it seems that a lot of members are familiar with most of the details.

Is that mainly down to playing the whole series over the years?, or does some of the knowledge come from books ect?, Thanks

Ok thanks.

First off Todd Howard would be a Breton. Just saying. Umm I think that the interview with Todd Howard was very interesting. One of the things Iiked about the interview was when he talked about JRPGs and how the fantasy in a lot of them is over the top ( and how just about every girl in those games are inhumanly hot and briasts that are gigantic and out of proportion. Just saying :whistling: ) that is one thing i do agree with him on.

[alicia hillier]

Definitely a Breton. Short, brown haired, fair skinned, works magic. Yep. And it will now be my goal to create a Breton Todd.

[Khamaji Taylor]

Bosmer and don't really know why.

[Darrell Fawcett]

I completely recommend anybody who is a fan of The Elder Scrolls to read that interview. You won't learn anything new about Skyrim but you will get some insight into how they may possibly do things and what they did in the past.

Somebody should PM an Admin like Gstaff and have them ask Todd that question as to what Race he would be. I picked Imperial but for all we know it could be something completely different.

It's Todd. Todd Howard.

[Marguerite Dabrin]

In I think the second video he mentions a city built into the side of a cliff and then it shows 2 pieces of concept art, all buildings, and zooms in on the middle one.

I wonder what race he plays as in game?

[Jordan Fletcher]

I voted Bosmer, looks like that's winning too.

You can't tell me http://elderscrolls.neoseeker.com/w/i/elderscrolls/thumb/8/87/Bosmer_official.jpg/180px-Bosmer_official.jpg doesn't look like Todd.

[Claire]

This poll made me laugh my ass off... so random.

[Britta Gronkowski]

According to video 2, There are huge Dwemer cities built in Mountains which are now occupied by Nords. Sounds Pretty cool!!!!!.
Also there is some pretty awesome concept art to back it up :drool:

[Andrew Perry]

HOLY CRAP IS THAT THE DWEMER RUINS?


i missed the totaly whacky morrowind design with corridors made of bronze <_<
