Brought to you by the guys responsible for Fallout 4, Fallout 76, and Starfield.

Yeah, Bethesda's dead. There are like 3 people left from when they actually made good games and those are the ones least responsible for those games being good

Also all the recent interviews with former devs have revealed that they are by and large fucking delusional

Writers as well. One of the longtime writers for the TES series (Daggerfall till Oblivion) was laid off and was given what was essentially a cameo for Skyrim (I believe he was credited for a couple of the in game books to do with past events in the lore). He appears to be completely uninvolved in 6.

Michael Kirkbride got fired late in Morrowind's development for drinking on the job. He was commissioned to write some stuff in Oblivion and again in Skyrim, in addition to reusing his older works.

I fused him and Peterson together in my mind

Kirkbride wasn't on Daggerfall so either he's misremembering or he means Ted Peterson who wrote for all of them besides Skyrim

I may have fused both of them together, it's been a while.
