Borderlands 4 boss raises Todd Howard's 'you can climb that mountain' Skyrim promise: "You see something anywhere on the screen, a mile away, up in the sky, you will be able to get there"

Borderlands 4.

The first time Bethesda boss Todd Howard was selling us all on Skyrim, somewhere around the Cretaceous period, he famously insisted that "that mountain is not just a backdrop, you can walk all the way to the top of that mountain."

This 'you can climb that mountain' promise has evolved into one of the many memes stuck to Howard's leather jacket like a fish hook in your thumb, and it's a promise that Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford has now one-upped with extremely similar verbiage in his excitement for Borderlands 4.
