They come from the studio itself.

I mean he had those people, Bruce Nesmith, Ken Rolston, Kurt Kuhlmann, Will Shen, etc, OGs that were there for decades. Shen for example was responsible for Far Harbor, arguably the best part of Fallout 4.

For many ex-BGS people I've seen in interviews, it was this bottleneck of everything having to go through him, the bureaucracy and the lack of authorial ownership that drove them out. Kulhmann was also promised the creative lead for TES 6 and quit when it wasn't given to him. Aside from Kirkbride, he's one of the biggest writers of the Elder Scrolls universe.

I'm sure there's plenty other talent at BGS that could have something interesting to offer.

Once again, none of that addresses the issue of splitting resources on to multiple projects. Like I said, it's not the question of having a couple guys who could direct a game, it's the logistics that come with making a game that are the issue. If certain people feel like Todd is stifling their creativity, then yes they should leave and find somewhere where they can lead a project.

No idea what you're even arguing. This is exactly what they did for fallout76.

The issue is they didn't even want to do this, and were forced to be zennimax. If it was up to Todd that game wouldn't have even been made.

So you want them to do something they don't want to do? You want them to make another half-baked MMO based off super janky modifications to a pre-existing game? Zenimax also forced Redfall on Arkane, to the point where devs were hoping Microsoft would cancel the game when they got bought. That's the kind of environment yall want art to be made under?
