Todd Howard is feeling nostalgic, and in a new video he's outlining the history of his work at Bethesda and how it's informing the next era of the studio's RPGs, including Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6.
For Wired, Howard grabbed a stack of the games he'd worked on, starting with the 1995 FPS Terminator: Future Shock - which, he's quick to note, was one of the first games to feature proper mouse look. From there, Howard essentially gives an abbreviated history lesson through his introduction to the Elder Scrolls series with Daggerfall, and his first stint as a project lead with the Tomb Raider-style Elder Scrolls spin-off, Redguard.
Of course, it was 2002's The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind that would catapult Bethesda to fame among the gaming fandom, particularly because of its robust console port on Xbox. "We are all here today because this game was a huge success," Howard says in the video. "I was stunned. Obviously, it did well on the PC, but on Xbox at the time it became the second best selling game behind Halo."
Throughout this history lesson, Howard lays out each of the games into one of a handful of categories - the MS-DOS era for those early PC titles, the console era for everything from Morrowind to Skyrim, and the next-gen era for Fallout 4 and 76. Then, there's what the video labels as 'the future and beyond,' where Howard places Starfield.
"These share a very similar technology base," Howard says, indicating Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Skyrim, "in the same way these share a technology base," as he points to Fallout 4 and 76. Finally, he points to Starfield, then to an empty space next to it. "And now this does. If we meet again, there'll be an Elder Scrolls 6 here."
Our list of the best RPGs wouldn't be the same without Bethesda.

We got our first look at the Fallout TV series last week with a trailer on Saturday preceded by a behind-the-scenes report from Vanity Fair, which included looks at the show's main characters and surprisingly bright and colorful post-nuclear world, and of course some words from Bethesda executive producer Todd Howard. The report also included a small and frankly baffling detail for fans to look forward to: Vault Boy, the real-world mascot of the series and in-game avatar of fictional megacorp Vault-Tec, is going to get his very own origin story.
Amazon has released the first trailer for its upcoming Fallout TV series.
Whether you've been playing it for 200 hours or decided it was boring after 200 minutes, Starfield is nonetheless one of the most important video game releases this year. Since it's Elder Scrolls developer Bethesda's first new IP in decades, the intergalactic role-playing game was born wearing giant shoes to fill and debuted to ecstatic, unquenchable fanfare.
After years of waiting, Amazon Studios has released the first trailer for its upcoming TV adaptation of Fallout. The series is set to premiere on April 12 on Amazon Prime, and this teaser proves that visually speaking, the series appears to faithfully capture the essence of Bethesda’s beloved RPG.
The Fallout TV series just got a trailer, giving us a glimpse into its irradiated post-apocalyptic world. Unveiled during the Comic-Con Expo (CCXP) event in Brazil, the show brings forth an original story set in a dilapidated Los Angeles and runs canon to the Bethesda game's universe — adding to the franchise, instead of adapting from one of its titles. However, just like the games, the tale largely follows a vault dweller who heads out into the nuclear wasteland in search of answers and in the process, meets countless eccentric characters — both good and bad — and uncovers the larger politics surrounding class divide, morality, and more. Fallout premieres April 12 on Amazon Prime Video.
