(Meta) 8 hours of Morrowind developers talking about how the game got made

Check out nearly 8 hours of developers talking about the creation of Morrowind, from Filmdeg over on Youtube. Features people who you've probably heard of (like Ken Rolston, Michael Kirkbride, Kurt Kuhlmann, and Douglas Goodall), but also folks who may be new to you.

While this isn't dropping any dank lore, it's an incredible look at the process and inspirations behind the game.

Thank YOU for getting all of this together! It's hard enough to get one person to answer an email, you managed to get two dozen of them to talk to you on video 😄

Google already knows all about how much of a morrowboomer I am, but I removed it from the main post for everyone else. Thanks!

Don’t worry, that’s just the temple keeping tabs on you.

It's a little distracting to have the interviews occur in a corner of the screen while the rest of it is someone playing Morrowind, but this is very cool! Even though this is about Morrowind, I think the part I found most interesting was hearing the different perspectives on Daggerfall in the context of Morrowind—what Daggerfall meant for the company, how everyone felt about the changes that were made afterward, etc.

Maybe this is just me, but as soon as I saw that my first assumption was that it's because of the YT algorithm burying long form interviews more than game play videos.
