I am joined by veteran writer and designer of The Elder Scrolls, Ted Peterson. We discuss a vast array of topics including Ted’s contributions to Elder Scrolls lore, his process and influences as a writer, some correlations between TES and real-world history / mythology, a close look at the Psijic Order, and much more.
The last half of our conversation is dedicated to Ted’s current project, The Wayward Realms. We talk about their design philosophy and certain details of the game’s planned mechanics. We also look over some incredible concept art including a few new pieces being debuted here exclusively!
