Recently, Howard with Bethesda’s managing director Ashley Cheng explained that the developers knowingly designed moments of loneliness in the game with the empty planets so players would experience the vastness of space and Cheng added that not every planet is “supposed to be Disney World.”

Todd Howard also backed their decision to go with an Xbox exclusive release saying that it yields a better product and mentioned Nintendo and Zelda as an example of platform exclusivity.
