The name of Todd Howard is tightly intertwined with that of the Elder Scrolls IP. Indeed, the game designer and producer joined Bethesda in the mid-90s and immediately worked on The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, before assuming the lead on The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, then working as an Executive Producer on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and as the Game Director of the hugely successful The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Speaking in a new interview published in The Guardian, Howard looked to the future of open world games and proclaimed he'd rather see more reactivity rather than greater scale for scale's sake.
