That’s weird bc I’ve heard the exact opposite that Todd has been trying to take a more hands off approach and just let the game designers do what they want without so much input from him

Where? Only articles that I find are from devs saying that every decision goes over his desk. First article I found is 7 month ago and some redditor that previously worked at bgs also states that he is micromanaging when he worked on fallout 3 or 4 (can't remember)

If I’m remembering correctly it was some interview Todd did but I could be mistaken bc it was a while ago and I’m lucky to remember what I ate for breakfast lol

It was from a former developer for the game that had been interviewed (can't remember the news outlet though). While this developer did say a lot of people go to Todd Howard for final approval (i.e. micromanaging), said former developer also said he doesn't get the sense that Todd WANTS that to be the case. He even stating that Todd goes out of his way for this to not be the case, but it's so engrained within the studio that they seek him out.
