I was just thinking aloud is all. Fallout has always seemed as a left behind second class property compared to anything from the Elder Scrolls.
Also, I do understand that it’s all not a one person deal, but it’s a lot easier to put a single person as the face of the developer who has acted as the face of the entire studio. He acts as the arbiter of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout in the Media, I shouldn’t have to look up the org chart for each game.
The same reading between the lines everyone else does when they’re h8alf asleep too.
Like everyone else, I don’t work for them or have any inside information, but I do know that Zenimax was part of the Koch Industry funded machine and having a backup brand makes good business sense.
You say this as if Todd Howard solely developed Fallout and had absolute control over everything

And he implied that TES is Todd’s baby, it super wasn’t. The real creators of TES left before Morrowind.
The lead designer for Morrowind was also involved in Battlespire and Redguard, so it’s not quite that simple.
Red guard and battlespire were worthless side projects that no one cared about, the actual TES guys left before MW.
