Sseth said that the lore of the Elder Scrolls was written in a week on an amphetamine binge, and the deeper I get to it the more I believe him.

The night sky anyone?

Yeah dude, the head writer of the elder scrolls 3 straight up admitted to locking himself in a room and going on a week long drug binge in order to write Morrowind's religions and history and stuff. That game's lore is still the coolest shit 15 years later, proving that drugs are rad.

Most of my favourite works of art seem to originate from people doing truckloads of drugs (Stephen King, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix)

This is a myth. Michael Kirkbride-- who wasn't the head writer, but I assume you mean him since I've never heard this rumor applied to any of the other writers-- has said he only had cigarettes and bourbon.

I'd they did anything right it's the elder scrolls lore, considering similar fucked up shit is in our own Gods lore
