Written by: Matt

After successful stints with pen-and-paper RPG boardgames, and creation of stellar games such as Morrowind, Oblivion, and Sea Dogs, Ken Rolston has decided to retire from the gaming industry now that Oblivion is on store shelves and winning critical acclaim.

[H]Consumer interviews him to get his thoughts as he is heading out the door. Some interesting statements here, and it seems he’s definitely an old school gamer that appreciated the simpler times of gaming when multi-million dollar budget wasn’t required to create a fun game.

In your long career in gaming, of what are you most proud?

Ken Rolston: Humble, actually, is better than proud. My contributions to the development teams of West End Games, Chaosium, and Bethesda Softworks have been the most fruitful — all three remarkable collections of creative talent. I’m very fond of PARANOIA, and I’m also inordinately fond of Morrowind, blemishes and all.
