The retro games that inspired Starfield, according to Todd Howard
It seems Todd Howard has been try🌃ing to make a game like Starfield for 40 year🌌s

Bethesda has published a brief video in which creative director Todd Howard discusses 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield, including some 🎃unexpected influences on the hotly-ant💯icipated RPG.
Asked about Starfield's inspirations, Howard says, "I'm gonna go back in time here. SunDog is a big one. Amazing game, kind of like the science fiction game when Ultiꦆmas were out. It also had this parser-less interface, kind of one of the 🉐first games where you're moving objects around and putting them together. But a great game, where you had your own ship and you could explore around, that I loved."
his favorite game of all time, describing it as "basically Ultima meets Wing Commander."Howard also cites some non-video gaming inspirations for Starfield. "This is a pen and paper role-playing game at the time D&D was getting popular - this game Traveller," he༒ continues.
"Travelle🐬r was a little more hard science-fiction. The other thing there, it was one of the first games I programmed on the Apple II at the time, I really wanted to make a Traveller game. It was also my first time realizing that computers had me♋mory that you could run out of. I can already see the comments, people saying 'you've been running computers out of memory for 40 years now.'"
Traveller was꧟ first published in 1977 by Game Designers' Workshop, and has been around in various forms ever since. Editions exist for well-known tabletop rulesets like🏅 GURPS and the d20 system, though the most modern version, by Mongoose Publishing, hearkens back to the original rules. Sadly, Howard's SunDog Apple II game never made it to the public.
Howard says Starfield is "hear♍👍kening back to those old role-playing games that we loved" as Bethesda says "'hey, can we pull off something like this with today's computers and consoles and et cetera.'"
