We couldn't agree more, and that's perhaps why the modding community is still fully alive today. But in Morrowind, there's so much delicious nonsense.” We even interviewed Morrowind's Ken Rolston in 2014, now working at Turbine, about his contributions made to the game more than a decade ago.įor Creative Lead Rolston, the game is – quote – “like jazz – so many notes that you may not like all of them, but you have so much to choose from that it's exciting.” In our 2014 interview with the former Morrowind Dev, Rolston even commented on Oblivion, stating that “when you look at a product like Oblivion – far better software.
