The Elder Scrolls Franchise Interview

Planet Elder Scrolls is offering up a lengthy interview with Bethesda’s Todd Howard about Morrowind, Oblivion, and the Elder Scrolls franchise as a whole.

Q: Will the series continue to move toward consoles, or can PC users look forward to more complex gaming? Oblivion seems to have disappointed many die-hard Elder Scrolls veterans, with talk of Oblivion being ‘dumbed down’ for the console. Can players be assured that the Elder Scrolls series will remain on the PC platform as well as the consoles?

A: First, Oblivion would have been the same even if the console versions never existed. We change things for the simple reason of making a game we think is more fun than the last. We also try to support as many platforms as we can, so if a system can handle the game we want to make, we’ll do our best to make the game for it. So as long as people are buying our stuff on the PC, we’ll continue to support that platform in a big way.
