Bethesda could have made a Fallout movie or TV show a decade ago, but "credit to Todd Howard," they refused Hollywood's offers until they found "the right partner" (www.gamesradar.com)

Todd Howard: “We’re not going to just let anyone fuck up the Fallout franchise. Fucking up Fallout is my life’s work.”

Kidding. Sorta.

Don't think it's Howard's "life work", but it is one of his achievements.

Arguing subtleties of admittedly hyperbolic humor is exactly like inserting red hot spikes into the eyes of an infant.

Well, not **exactly…**

I'm not a Todd Howard dickrider, but if you think what happened to Fallout was because of him alone, then you need to look into Emil Pagliarulo's contributions to both Fallout and TES.

Surely not him alone. But he is in charge so the contributions of others also accrue to him.

True, true.

But man, has Emil contributed a lot.
