Todd is still a POS

Makes sense. What did they have; 4 maybe 5 people working on the game? One gets called away in a small studio, especially such a creative savant as Todd, then it’ll hurt the project. /s

Or, and this is slightly hypothetical, maybe the team he leads is incapable of autonomous decision making due to leadership (Todd) making it impossible.

I like Bethesda’s games typically but Starfield was definitely one of their most ‘meh’. Not even bad enough to be interesting.
