The newest addition to our Influential Video Game Designers series
explores the work of Todd Howard, executive producer at Bethesda
Studios, known for how he consistently pushes the boundaries of
open-world gaming and player agency. Howard’s games create worlds
in which players can design their own characters and tell their own
stories. While many games tell the story of the game’s main
character, Todd Howard’s worldbuilding approach to game design
focuses more on telling the story of the game’s world, whether it
be the high fantasy environments of the Elder Scrolls series or the
post-apocalyptic wasteland of the Fallout series. This focus on
sculpting the world allows for remarkable amounts of player freedom
and choice in an expansive game environment by creating a landscape
rich with open opportunity. Drawing on both academic discussions of
narrative, world design, and game design, as well as on officially
released interviews, speeches, and presentations given by Howard
and other designers at Bethesda Games, Wendi Sierra highlights
three core areas set Howard’s design perspective apart from other
designers: micronarratives, iterative design, and the sharing of
design tools. Taken as a whole, these three elements demonstrate
how Howard has used a worldbuilding perspective to shape his games.
In doing so, he has impacted not only Bethesda Studios, but also
the landscape of game design itself.
