GameSpy: For the folks who are unfamiliar with the Elder Scrolls universe, can you give a brief history leading up to Morrowind?
Todd Howard: Morrowind is the 3rd chapter in the Elder Scrolls series. Arena was the first game in 1994, and Daggerfall was the second, in 1997. Both won all the RPG of the Year awards. They are huge, open-ended games where you can make any kind of character you want, and go do what you want. We also did two other games in the Elder Scrolls universe, Battlespire and Redguard, but neither is a big RPG. All the Elder Scrolls games take place in the Empire of Tamriel. It's a politically charged world, with historic clashes between the races. Through the games we've told the history and have been showing the Empire beginning to loose it's power.
