I've met Todd once and we talked quite a bit. He's actually a pretty chill dude. All the rampant hatred about him is unwaranted. He is not the best game designer out there, that's for sure. However, blaming all of Bethesda's faults on him is a bit ridicilous. He doesn't single handedly make new Fallout games. Or make Bethesda run the way it does. A fuckton of rumors circulating around him are just typical NMA shitshow circlejerk that's been perpetuated for 15 years and more. Legit criticism is one thing, but half the stuff posted in threads like these sound like a broken record at this point.
One of the above sentences is false.
