Todd Howard Interview

The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences offers a 10-question interview with Bethesda executive producer Todd Howard.

Q: How do you measure success?

A: I think it’s the whole package. Of course you want your games to be critically acclaimed and sell great, but there’s this really hidden side to it, which is the internal expectations and the outlook of those you work with. Did we do what we set out to do? Did we not go completely crazy doing it? True success is when you do something and then everyone involved says “let’s do it again!”

Q: What game are you most jealous of?

A: Currently? GTA IV. Big ideas, clear vision, and gets the little things right.
