That quote actually makes sense in context, it’s talking about handling the story of the second season of the show.
Also, I doubt Todd Howard was in a position to independently decide to buy the Fallout franchise in 2004.
See for yourself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Buren_(video_game)?wprov=sfla1
You criticized Todd Howard for his game design skills in your original comment, I just pointed out that the sentence you quoted didn’t refer to designing the story of a game.
You also claimed “He bought a franchise” which seemed unnecessarily personal.
I don’t see how Van Buren is related to this at all (except for its relation to New Vegas, I guess, but I don’t see what this has to do the article or either of our comments).
