*Looks at the reviews, fanfare, and awards won by Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Skyrim*
May actually be too bad for you.

Yes, I played those shallow games. It was bad.
And cut me some slack with "few as deserving"

Well deserved in my opinion, there are no other games out there that do what Bethesdas games do for me in a large variety of ways. There are definitely aspects that could always be improved hence why modders exsist, but new Elder Scrolls releases are genuine events for me and have been for a long time.
Todd is mocked everywhere, especially on hardcore RPG forums.

Jus messing around. Todd deserves the award,even if his best work is (way) behind him.

I didn't make any statement on the quality of games he's produced, past or present, just always thought the juxtaposition of attitudes towards games has been funny.
Also I don't know about cherry picked, I haven't looked into his thoughts on games intimitely but every time he shows up at E3 or any other game show I recall him usually talking about being the cool badass who kills all the evil people or something to that affect.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
After what he did to the Fallout franchise and the continued water down of RPG mechanics after Morrowind I would say he doesn't deserve it but I'm not going discount previous success based on his recent failures so if someone feels like he deserves an award than so be it but I wouldn't give it to him.
This sentiment also applies to the BABFTA award Fallout 4 got in April...I would have given that award to The Witcher 3.

You'll have to try better than ad hominem, the tag is ironic.
And more people than Todd worked on Morrowind.
Doesn't matter because GAF is a vocal minority and the majority love his games.
Most probably think the bugs are funny or intentional and can't tell framerates above 30fps.

Congrats and well deserved!
I don't think I can even count the hours I've put into games he made, most of them were pure joy. There are no other games that allow player freedom and world exploration like BGS allows. That's what keep bringing me back into amazing worlds like Tamriel and the Wastelands.
Can't wait for what else he has in stock for us.

Im glad I got to heckle him at the Skyrim presentation at Quakecon 2011.

Well deserved. One of the best to ever grace the industry.
Visionary.
Visionary.
While I wouldn't want to deny Howard his dues, 22 hall of fame laureates in 18 years is starting to get increasingly masturbatory. They started from true greats like Miyamoto and now just seem to slowly include all the heads of the major studios. A hall of fame pick should really happen only once every five years, not multiple per year. It's just totally meaningless now.
Not the best choice IMO. His studio makes very fun games, but releases them with a huge amount of bugs. The quality control isn't exactly something to praise considering how many fix mods there are for each game.
In terms of game world and player interaction, I can't fault it.

Kojima outdoes Howard in the reasons by AIAS.

When there are people who think like this
It's obvious there is something wrong. There are far better options to pick, and they chose the worst.

Good! I've always liked him personally, and I've spent probably a total of 1000 hours in his games.
I didn't realize he was in charge of Morrowind. I thought that was someone else, and he took over with Oblivion. If he ran Morrowind, too, that's impressive. Probably my favorite gaming experience of all time.

Considering I'm around my 500th hour with Skyrim, now with the special edition, it's very well deserved.

Or, it's obvious they are doing something right when they pick someone as qualified, influential, and creative as this.
*Looks at the reviews for GTA IV* hmmmm
