It's no secret that The Elder Scrolls series and Fallout games harbor some of the RPG genre's silliest humor, from The Lusty Argonian Maid to the ever-annoying Adoring Fan in Oblivion – but former writer and quest designer Mark Nelson says most of it was sneaked in.
According to Nelson, that's because Bethesda Game Studios director and executive producer Todd Howard – who is best known for his work on the Elder Scrolls series, Fallout games, and more recently, Starfield – instructed developers not to include any humor. Speaking in a new documentary on Morrowind from Filmdeg Miniatures, Nelson reveals as much when recalling how he added The Lusty Argonian Maid to the game.
