btw, you have your right to your opinion and all but we are disrupting a this topic and we should continue this discussion somewhere else.

But they dont just use Kirkbrides work to build the elder scrolls world, they use the work of many other writers and creators as well as many conceptual artists. Kirkbride is not the sole creative mind behind the elder scrolls universe.

I am not talking about stuff he wrote when he worked for them, of course they use stuff he wrote when he worked for them.

Also i wonder... do you even care about writing as a profession Octo8? Do you think just anybody can write?
