As part of a wide-ranging interview with Lex Fridman, Bethesda's Todd Howard has discussed a number of hot-button topics, including Bethesda's sale to Microsoft, The Elder Scrolls 6, Starfield, the Indiana Jones game, and a lot more. In addition to talking about video games, Howard gets into more personal things like what a day in the life is like for him, his advice to younger people, and the meaning of life.

If you don't have the time or interest to listen to the full interview, it's handily time-stamped so you can hear what Howard has to say about a range of topics. For Starfield, Howard said he hopes the game might inspire some young people to pursue opportunities in the field of space and space exploration or being an engineer. He also dished on some of the ins and outs of Bethesda's vision for the game at a high level.

For The Elder Scrolls 6, Howard said part of the challenge of developing it as a game that could be playable and engaging for the next decade or more. 2011's Skyrim remains one of Bethesda's most-played games, Howard said, and he expects people to play The Elder Scrolls 6 for the next decade or two. For the Indiana Jones game, which is in development at Machine Games, Howard said the game will be a mash-up of genres that can't be pinned down.
