Am I the only one who upon seeing Ken's face expected him to break out with "Ah yes, we've been expecting you, you'll have to be recorded before you're officially released."?

[maximebv]

Wow. As a game designer, this guy is such a great Role Model to follow. He's so charismatic. He sounds like an old wise wizard.

[StevenBlack]

12 years later and I still have not completed every Morrowind quest

[someguy]

Ken is an amazing game designer. Morrowind is one of my favorite game of all time. While playing The Long Dark I thought a lot of aspects seem to remind me of Morrowind, so it was pleasant to find out Ken is also involved with that game. I never beat Sea Dogs, but the sea combat in that game was quite fun.

Ken Rolston is my idol for what he did in Morrowind. It is the deepest game I've ever played! As I see it, nowadays companies put very much effort into polishing and cut a lot of features that could make their games deeper. Life is all about choices, and if you give a lot of them in the game, that makes it lifelike, livable. Morrowind was so livable that people still love it and play it, enhance it's graphics and try to give it second life in other engines - they love it so much. Well, Bethesda created history, so to say) And I incredibly respect Ken Rolston for being in charge of the game design in Morrowind. 

[thomaskelly]

God damn, I never thought a video like this would exist from you guys, what a gem.

[unconscious]

What make Morrowind great? Michael Kirkbride's art of course. Replace carrier with silt strider and add guar instead of horse. Buildings are made of bug shells, terracotta, and mushrooms. Too bad the game engine is too limited to follow MK's craziness.

[cramirez]

Jesus. At this point 2014 seems like such a peaceful and antiquated age, comprable to the 1900's in some small sleepy town in the midwest

[brunosiffredi]

Ken is a legend, PC Jesus is a baby. This interviews is quite unique.

[Danlovar]

Interesting point of view, because that he made a beautiful main quest and has not played the game yet.

[dsintheb]

well, who the hell knew that this video existed?

[Brendissimo]

So that's why being in the Imperial Cult felt like being a relic hunter!

[benjaminpequeno]

He said he had "Gone Dark." Wow. Was this a tease for The Long Dark?

[Olzme]

This guy is the reincarnate of Socucius Ergalla.

[DD-wxjc]

Someone absolutely butchered that Indoril armor. I cried for real.

[DukeoftheAges]

Ken should be the one in charge of the elder scrolls. Imagine how much better skyrim would have been.

[josiahpaulthompson]

There are a few ways we can do this... and the choice.. is....Yours.

[nothingiknownow]

Oblivion was such a disappointment coming from Morrowind. They took all sense of exploration out of that game and way too much hand holding. And the interface was trash... holy shit. Combat in Oblivion was the only thing that was better. And most of the graphics of course, unless you went swimming and tried to explore the water areas... Morrowind had all sorts of underwater exploration.

[zonkypuff]

Can anyone give me the name of the guy conducting the interview?

[infernoeagles]

ohh how to comment about Emil being a great writer has not aged arena and dark brotherhood, fallout 3, 4 and now starfield ohh wow how horrible his writing is now
