The composer of Starfield says he’s certain it’ll eventually be considered a “legendary” game.
In an interview with
RPG Site,
Inon Zur – who also composed the music for Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4 and
Fallout 76 – was asked about his working relationship with
Bethesda director and producer
Todd Howard.
Zur by describing Howard as a “visionary”, saying some of his ideas are only appreciated further down the line.
“Todd is one, if not the most creative and invigorating human beings in the industry,” he said. “He just doesn’t stop. He always has new ideas. He always knows what he wants. He is very persuasive and has a very strong character. He will also find ways to describe what he wants without really calling it a name.
“He knows how to allow freedom of creativity on one hand, but also how to steer it to his own vision. He is a visionary. He sees things that people will start to find out years later.”
Zur then stated that “this applies to
Starfield“, suggesting that some players didn’t understand its appeal but that this will come over time.
“When Starfield released, I believe people were just not ready for it,” he explained. “It’s a different way of looking at it, but Todd is really strong, and he said very, very lightly: ‘Look, if you don’t like it, then you don’t like it, but this is the new thing that we’re doing, and we’re sticking to it.’
“He believes in his way, and it just has proven time and time again that eventually people will understand his vision. It just takes time and this is a common thing for all the big visionaries.
“Sometimes people really don’t understand them correctly, but they were strong enough to stay on course, and Todd will stay on course on Starfield. Starfield will eventually become something that will be legendary. I have no doubt. It’s just a matter of time.”
