It's refreshing to see a creator prioritize the integrity of their world over a fun cameo moment. Plus, with the Fallout adaptation already nailing the vibe, his presence behind the scenes seems to be paying off.
Honestly, I respect Todd's choice to keep the focus on the world he helped build rather than himself. It shows a creator who's more invested in the lore than the limelight.
