Subscribe to our newsletter The Elder Scrolls 6 and long-time Bethesda Game Studios director Todd Howard apparently touches every part of the developer's games during production, and struggles not to, in fact, according to one former Skyrim lead."He's struggled throughout his entire career in this letting go process," Skyrim lead designer Bruce Nesmith said while talking about Howard's leadership style in an interview with Kiwi Talkz."I mean, if what I said earlier is, he had a light touch on everything and then deep dives into the things he wanted.

That's a light touch literally on everything, which means that one of the issues that the studio struggled with occasionally was "'Well, we can't move forward because Todd hasn't had a chance to look at it,'" Nesmith recalled of his time at the developer.Article continues below Nesmith goes on to say that the studio obviously isn't completely blocked whenever Howard's not around "because the games got produced on time, which is not a common thing to happen in this industry" where projects are pretty frequently delayed ## Editor's Note We'll have to wait and see how this plays out in the coming weeks.
