From a post on reddit: “I am proud to be a gnostic heretic, and it colors my work.
The second biggest influence in the structure of TES’ mythos would be the mighty, mighty Glorantha. Hands down, the best mythology in games.”
Michael Kirkbride is a developer/writer on The Elder Scrolls series of video games, especially Morrowind (which had, arguably, the best writing in the entire series, especially in its treatment of religion and culture *koff koff*), so as a fan of both, I find this high praise indeed.
BTW, wasn’t there a blurb (from Greg himself?) that Skyrim was a very “Orlanthi” video game?
