Evidence that the Game Developers were Refugees from the 1960s

As I was just playing it occurred to me in full force that this game seems to echo 60s culture.

*The underground drug culture
* References in the mage's guild to a preference for brown plates over blue... seems to suggest Woodstock and acid quality
* Architecture (Redoran) that looks like a series of giant croissants.. The stoned munchies anyone?
* Mushroom architecture (Telvanni)
* Robes, and lots of them

More?

btw, Seeing as this sort of a thread could easily veer off-topic, please keep it Morrowind-specific. It wouldn't make much sense to have this in SYM, and I'd rather not see it moved, if possible.

Skooma pipes in almost every home.

Cult uprisings? (Remember my little Nerevar/ Antichrist comparison?

)

The fact that you can mix herbs to give a flying effect lol.

@ Mr. Sir,
indeed! I mix up potions that combine levitate with fortify speed, and I call them "Kurt's C0cktails."

Yes.. I know, somewhat insensitive

All those streaking Barbarians. And the witches who took their clothes (women's lib.).

@Coot

* The back to nature culture of the Skaal, they're actually hippies in disguise!

* When you go into houses, inns etc. you'll often see plates laid out, but there is hardly ever any food on them. The stoned munchies strike again!

*Racism
*Free Love (Anhassi, anyone?)

Nah. I don't remember hippies being that aggressive. And I can't imagine people with names like Harath Blooddrinker or Erik Ricklingsquisher or something saying stuff like: "Make love, not war, far out!"
But maybe that one Skaal at Raven Rock, Hroldar the Strange, qualifies?

Sixth house bases are really communes led by Charles Mansonish leaders.
