Talk:Todd Howard/Archive 1

joke
"Mankar Camoran may worship Mehrunes Dagon, but Mehrunes Dagon worships Todd Howard."

What is this? This should be added as a joke or completely removed.

I removed it, no relevance to the article --Mrheadhappyday (talk) 03:18, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Reference(s)
We finally have a reference in the article (http://www.elderscrolls.com/codex/team_rpgnextgen.htm for "Live another life, in another world", a phrase which appears in a lot of magazine previews and reviews for Oblivion). I've replaced the Unreferenced tag with morerefs.

My good-but-not-great Google skills failed to find any online bios of Mr Howard, so future refs may not be easy to find. Would anyone finding a biography please add it to the article or this page? Thanks, CWC 09:50, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Controversies Section Removal
This section detailed controversies surrounding fallout 3, which really have nothing to do with Todd Howard since he didn't create the fallout genera and wasn't the origin of the controversial material. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.55.219.218 (talk) 09:56, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

bad chronology
There's a serious issue with the timeline of this article. In the "early life" section, it ends saying he applied for a job at Bethesda after playing Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey and being rejected. Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey came out in 1996. The very next sentence says he joined Bethesda in 1994. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.198.71.77 (talk) 15:19, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * That would be because he actually talked about Wayne Gretzky Hockey 3, which is a different game entirely.Ergzay (talk) 16:33, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Can we fix this sentence
"Currently, he is working on the fifth installment of The Elder Scrolls series, Skyrim, which was relaesed on November 11, 2011."

I.E. Currently he's not working on that game. I mean, perhaps he's working on some DLC or something, but you get my point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.207.44.243 (talk) 10:53, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * How about patches? Ciaran Sinclair (talk) 09:29, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

". In 2014, he received the Lara of Honor, Germany's lifetime achievement award for gaming. Howard is one of a small number of developers to have created four consecutive Game of the Year award winners: Oblivion, Fallout 3, Skyrim, and Fallout 4.[3]" Fallout 4 did not receive a Game of the Year award.

 * Yes check.svg Done Various random websites gave GOTY to Fallout 4, but no major awards have done so yet. -- ferret (talk) 01:22, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * The referenced blog post clearly tells lies. It says that Howard won 4 GOTY Awards - from AIAS - which is not true. See Academy_of_Interactive_Arts_%26_Sciences. TES4 won best RPG of 2006 but not GOTY (it was Gears of War) and FO3 didn't won GOTY either. Please remove this sentence. 88.179.43.60 (talk) 18:02, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: The blog post and press release do not claim the AIAS awards any GOTY awards. AIAS awarded Howard with ‘Best Game Director’. The next sentence about the GOTY awards is not being attributed to AIAS. All of these games have received GOTY from various award publications. -- ferret (talk) 21:25, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 7 September 2016
In the Bethesda Software subsection of the Career section, please Change "Howard's first development credit for The Elder Scrolls came in the form of The Elder Scrolls: Arena, released in 1994, and followed by design on The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, released in 1996." to "Howard's First development credit for the Elder Scrolls came in the form of The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, released in 1996." He has stated in an interview with Gameinformer in November, 2011 that he had no involvement with The Elder Scrolls: Arena. He goes on to state that Arena is one of his favorite games "probably because I didn't work on it originally...so I can see it differently."
