An oral history [article](https://www.polygon.com/2019/3/27/18281082/elder-scrolls-morrowind-oral-history-bethesda) about the making of Morrowind by the people who made it. If you enjoyed the game or like any of the Elder Scrolls games, it’s a good read.

Thanks for linking this. The article is fascinating. I’ve been involved in game design (as a hobbyist on a volunteer basis, though I’ve worked on online games that still exist) and this loose “let’s do some cool stuff man” aesthetic sounds very familiar. Hearing it from the mouths of the designers of one of my favorite games ever is amazing.

Thanks, n’wah. I still haven’t beat that damn game, even though I’ve put hundreds of hours in. Some day.
