    It's tangentially related to TES. He wrote some lines for Vilja, I'm sure many of you remember her from Oblivion (and her descendant from Skyrim).

    Yeah, me too. In that case all fine. Game related confirmed.

    Good. :)Here's an interview with him, he talks about his experiences with Oblivion in the beginning. Quite an interesting read. But then he was quite an interesting author. I know he didn't write anything in the last few years, but he will be missed.

    He finished his last book a year before he died.

    Also, the fact that ZOS shuts down threads like this (and Nimoy's) just proves beyond any doubt that they don't want a community.

    In order to understand the below image, you need to know that he wrote in all caps when talking as Death

    Hey there folks,

    We certainly understand that this is big news that will sadden fans of his work everywhere. That said, as the topic is not related to ESO, we're going to go ahead and close it. We appreciate your understanding.
