Michael Kirkbride? Writer/designer/lore guy for Morrowind (and pretty much everything interesting in the elder scrolls that we never actually see in the other games). Though afaik he wasn’t always on some shit as the rumor goes, I think he just got really into incredibly esoteric religious writing
Pretty sure it's Kirkbride. The guy I'm thinking about has done extensive writing about his interpretation of the lore after leaving Bethesda.
That's kirkbride, and yeah, he famously said that the only substances he needed for the Sermons were whiskey and cigarettes. He was just high on his comparative religion degree (aka irl deep lore)
Respect. Honestly makes sense why I'd mistake a comparative religion degree with tyriptamine psychedelics. Fun fact: In the tale of Moses, he went up to the mountains and burnt a bush and saw shit before making the commandments. The mountain widely agreed upon to be the mountains have acacia bushes, which contain DMT. A lot of our earliest accounts of religion often have pharmacological explainations because of DMT. So if you go hard enough on religion, it'll sound like you're on shrooms 🤷♀️
