  • Some sources mark MK as joining in April 1996, but that seems too early, because we know KK was hired during the final death march of TES2 and also didn't work first hand with Ted Peterson. I'm guessing they were hired on sometime in the Summer?

• Aut 1996,^BETH Ken Rolston joins Bethesda Softworks
  • There's a resume saying KR joined Bethesda back in May of '96, but that doesn't seem to make sense with the timeline of things. What I've heard is that Ken didn't pop up until the post mortem of Daggerfall, and he replaced Kuhlmann as the lead designer of Tribunal when he joined. Logically, he joined up in autumn.
• Dec 1996,^MW a conceptual map file for the game is doodled together in some computer software by Kurt Kuhlmann.

• Circa 1997, Chris Weaver organizes the new Elder Scrolls games into three distinct product lines: Classics, Legends, and Adventures. Classics is your typical mainline Elder Scrolls RPG. Legends focuses on pivotal moments in Tamriel's history. Adventures has you play as an important historical figure and alter history with your actions
  • When Battlespire and Redguard both flopped financially, the idea of multiple product lines was set aside in favor of just focusing on the traditional classic games
• Circa 1997,^PRESS Electronic Press Disk is published

• Aut 1998,^MW prototyping software for The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind begins
• Circa 1998,^MW the Bethesda Softworks team comes together and starts hammering out how they're going to create Morrowind
  • Instead of depicting the entire province of Morrowind in the game in a Daggerfall esque fashion, Todd Howard pulled back the scope to just the subcontinent of Vvardenfell to focus the game on dealing with Dagoth Ur, rather than all the Great Houses and all members of the Tribunal
  • The handcrafted worldspace design was lifted directly from processes established during Redguard, while the first person gameplay style and questing was lifted from Battlespire. The world narrative leaned more into the original fantasy stylings of Redguard and Battlespire rather than the traditional tolkienesque fantasy of Arena and Daggerfall
  • These decisions eventually inspired game director Julian Lefay to end his tenure with the company; in addition to other things like: irreconcilable interpersonal and creative differences with other designers, and an unhealthy workplace culture
